 ===== Quick Introduction ===== ===== Quick Introduction =====
  
 +Centaurus Gate is a game about daring adventure as explorers move from a human only [[Milky Way]] to a new galaxy teaming with intelligent alien species. The players create explorers that man human ships exploring this new [[Expanse]]. Each of these explorers is a human or one of the [[Five Allied Races]], aliens from the Expanse that have joined [[Humanity]] as it explores the Expanse. All explorers are part of something called the [[Expedition Task Force]], a modern movement in human society dedicated to the exploration of the Expanse.
  
 +Your explorers will man a [[Starship#Corvette]], and take charge of its daily operations as it explores the Expanse. You can expect to meet all manner of challenges are this ship discovers new worlds, new species, and attempts to join an already thriving space-faring culture. There is even a rich stage set for personal drama as your explorers become involved in the political struggles of human [[Societies]] (if you want that kind of thing!)
