During the period 2400-2700 AD, Humanity established a vast empire stretching across light-years and made itself one of the most powerful political species in the Milky Way Galaxy. At times despotic, at times enlightened, sometimes at war and sometimes at peace, The Terran Empire presents a fascinating tableau for Star Hero campaigns. This setting book describes the history, technology, institutions, and prominent NPCs of this period, with dozens of campaign options for GMs and hundreds of character creation ideas and suggestions for players.
