Ha! Take That Evil Humans If you should be flying around in Pardus Sector and you happen across a large crab creature flying a ship that looks like this..... ...then do say hello, because that's me, Raul Endymion (name subject to change, I was going to be human but ended up as a Skaari), loyal Serf of the Empire, free trader and space maggot killer. If you are old enough to remember Elite, then Pardus is a MMOG (Massive Multiplayer Online Game) version of Elite, you get a basic spaceship and you can fly around the universe trading, battling space monsters, bounty hunting or pirating as you will. There are distinct factions in the game, Empire vs Federation and the more nuetral Alliance, and there are smaller trade and military groupings (player owned and operated) within the game. So far I have managed to work my way up to the Imperial rank of Serf, well it's one step up from being a lowly outsider, I've earned some money, killed half a dozen space maggots and bought myself some titanium armour, energy shielding and a bigger laser cannon, so don't mess with me noobs. Pardus is a free game, there is a paid premium membership for about £22 annually. If anyone fancies having a go, sign up as an Empire Skaari (the game is saying that there are far too many Federation humas already) and tell me where you are, we could start our own battle fleet. I'm planning on joining The Shadow Order when I'm out of my newbie status (you get to play for at least 10 days when other people in the game can't attack you, helps you learn the ropes), I could put in a good word for you.
