Explore New Dikamazi!
In the Iota system, in neutral space, a fledgling colony of Bushraki settlers has been discovered on a newly inhabited asteroid.

Last month, events between two Bushraki factions in Scatterhome came to a head, with lasting implications for the residents of Oldtown. But what happened after that? Where did the defeated gang of Chrome Skulls go? What happened to Kuda Shayato’s daughter, and the strange prize so many Bushraki were so obsessed with for so long?…

Oldtown. Flooded, abandoned, and destitute, the former heart of Haven City is now a slum for the poor, the dispossessed, and the forgotten.

We’ve just officially opened the Starmourn wiki, which will be our official repository of information about the in-game Starmourn universe!

Just added a page on the Celestine Ascendancy – the 3rd and final of the player civilizations we’ll have for release! They’re kind of the twin of the Song Dominion, and the two of them have long been at each other’s throats.

Just finished setting up a page on the Song Dominion, the second of the player-inhabited civilizations we’ve announced! You’re probably wondering what a player-inhabited civilization means in practical terms. If you’ve played our existing MUDs, they all have some version of player civilizations, usually expressed as cities or city-states. These are initially admin-created areas with…
