PLAYGROUND OF THE GODS
It's the year 2651.
The old gods are dead. Centuries in the future, new gods struggle to repair expanding rifts in the space-time continuum. They're buying time for refugees flung to this era, to this place, in the dimension known as Hiverspace.
The old gods – the Kamir and their creation, the Il'Ri Kamm Hive Mind – got their start here. Now, both are gone from this place. But the realm is strewn with the remnants of those ancient powerful civilizations – from the genetically engineered races that share the planet Kamsho to the scattered artifacts that have treasure hunters and power-hungry tyrants chasing down clues.
Zar Hideg Fekretu, ruler of the brutal Koltkamir government, has embarked on an ambitious bid to control the worlds of Hiverspace, bombing or otherwise attempting to eliminate anyone who stands in his path.
Meanwhile, refugees and native Hiverspacers alike are thrown together aboard the sentient starship known as Comorro Station, dodging the Zar's minions and seeking new worlds to call home.
The old gods are dead. Their toys remain.

What's All This About?
OtherSpace is a MUSH. The shortest explanation is: We're a cross between tabletop gaming and an improvisational theater troupe within a chatroom-like interface.
Imagine a space opera story where the viewers are also central characters with a direct impact on what happens as the epic evolves. That's OtherSpace.
What's a MUSH?
MUSH is a technical term for a subgenre of online games known as MUDs, which have been around for decades. Traditionally, MUSHes (or Multi-User Shared Hallucinations) are more focused on collaborative roleplaying and storytelling than combat and quests seen in more common MUDs. So, if you're not big into character development or getting into the thick of evolving plots, a MUSH probably isn't for you.
