Credits and Notes

The story opens with the Earth having already been conquered by a foe from their recent past.

In 2202, our sector of space was invaded by a rampaging war machine known as the Comet Empire. The invaders were led by the power-mad Prince Zordar. After a long, hard-fought battle, the invaders were finally defeated and Zordar was killed.

...But Zordar was only a PRINCE after all...

After a ten-year silence, the Empire returned and conquered Earth as easily as a giant would swat a fly. For five years since then, they have sucked our world dry of all resources.

The Earth Defense Forces were crushed beneath the Imperial boot. Only a few smaller ships survived the titanic final battle, and they were forced to flee the Solar system. On earth herself, a small resistance has formed. Maybe three hundred brave souls stand for the billions of mankind, against all the might of the Comet Empire.

Until a new danger looms...

Sea of Stars has been a labor of love for me for over three years. Wow, just thinking about how much time it has taken to bring this story to release is kind of daunting. It would never have been possible without the efforts of a diverse group of friends and comrades who not only worked hard to get this brought together, they kicked my butt every time I started to lag behind. Thanks folks, This wouldn't have happened without you.

The characters of this story have grown and changed over the nearly three years it took to get this production to fruition. They are, to me at least, living breathing people in some other alternate version of our world. They are on their own journey out of despair and into a future still unknown...literally, I'm still writing the concluding episode of the final season. They are flawed, because humans in general are flawed. They are not the single-note cardboard cutout people that populate much of western AND eastern science fiction, but nor are they open books. They all have their secrets, and exploring them is where the fun really is.

Welcome to our world. We hope you'll enjoy the ride.
