TerraCorp Spacefleet Pilot’s Manual
INTRODUCTION
Welcome to TerraCorp, space pilot. You are now a member of the largest spacefleet in the
whole of the Argon-controlled territories.
You will find in these pages the basic flight controls of your craft that are based upon the
“unified flight-control system” designed by TerraCorp. This enables you to easily move from
one ship class to another, while retaining some familiarity with the control mechanisms.
Read and learn these well, for knowledge of the Universe is of great importance, especially if
your travels take you outside of Argon-controlled space. Good profit to you and in the words
of our founder “Never travel empty, a journey without profit is a journey with no purpose.”
Terracorp – “The History”
In 2912, following an accident which took him far beyond the frontier of Earth, Capt. Kyle
William Brennan arrived in the X universe in his experimental gateless jump ship. Kyle
became instrumental in the attack on the Xenon mother ship, almost bringing the Xenon race
to extinction. His heroic deeds were recognised by the naming of the sector Brennan’s
Triumph.
By 2913, Kyle’s well-earned Credits allowed him to create Terracorp as an extension of
himself to finance his research and find a way home to earth. In the year of 2934, while he
was deeply involved in the tracing of the AP Gunner, he learned about his long lost son, then
known as Julian Gardna. Both of their lives then became entangled with the threat of the
Kha’ak and the destructive forces inflicted by them. This resulted in Kyle ending up in a coma
and Julian Brennan coming to terms with the fact that his valiant role in stopping the Kha’ak
threat came with a heavy price, the heroic self-sacrifice made by his closest friend Bret Serra.
Over the last two Jazuras, as a response to the continuing Kha’ak attacks, all the races in the
universe have heavily invested in new technologies, while replacing their ships and rebuilding
their stations. There has also been the additional benefit of a newfound cooperation between
some of the races’ scientists, producing greatly enhanced shield and missile innovations.
Many shipbuilders, now under new pressures never faced since the Xenon war, have awoken
from a developmental slumber to produce stunning new ship designs.
As the universe approaches the end of 2935, Julian, having lost all of his factories and most
of his ships to the Kha’ak, now has to consider Ban Danna’s request for help again. Many
mysteries begin to unfold when a reunion with an old friend takes Julian on a journey of
discovery, which links a mysterious ship with the power to disappear, the ruthless Yaki pirates
and a machine left by an ancient race. The fate of more than the known universe relies on the
ultimate discovery of the truth by Julian, with all the fighting skills and the strategic resources
he can command.

The earth colonists were trapped seven hundred years ago in the X universe. They made
their new home on the world now known as Argon Prime, while at the same time the
terraforming Xenon machines took over the sectors east of President’s End, which after the
Xenon war became pirate sectors. The Argon called them Gunners, taking their name from
Nathan R. Gunne, who explored the universe trying to rediscover a way back to Earth. The
details of this truth were obscured for several hundred years, when they became known as
the Goners. The Goners often worked together with the Argon but also took the good news to
other races.
The Goner ship is the only ship known to be in use by the Goners. Due to the peaceful nature
of the goners this ship holds no weaponry. The ship is quite fast and is also considered to be
a good short-range freighter due to its cargo space. It is also capable of holding shields
compatible with some M3 fighters. You will probably see this ship roaming the sectors
spreading the word of the Goners and Nathan R.Gunne.
Goners have the "Book of Truth" and in their temple, they have "Beholders of the Truth", their
leader at this moment is Noah Gaffelt, an old man with a white beard. Norma Gardna, a noted
female Beholder of the Truth, died on Argon Prime due to a sickness and was replaced by
Lynda North. The "Book of Truth" contains lots of knowledge about Earth.
