After 17 years, OtherSpace is undergoing some big changes.

Effective this weekend, we're rolling the storyline back to just after the original narrative arc from 1998, when players defeated the Il'ri'kamm Hive Mind and freed the worlds of the Orion Arm from reliance on their alien FTL technology. So, we've rewound the plot to the point that the dramatic Sanctuary story arc, which saw the entire playerbase packed together on a colony vessel to escape a warmongering fleet, never happened.

But we haven't ditched ALL of the lore from the past couple of decades. Instead, we've basically merged the worlds of the Ancient Expanse (an alien universe) with those of the Orion Arm of the Milky Way Galaxy.
