The year is 2098, Earth has recovered from the great crash of the 2030-ies and is now reaching for the stars. The invention of grav-drive opened the space up but stars were still too far away. Now the United Nations Space Coordination Agency has developed a jump-drive capable of an interstellar journey. As the Starleaper One prepares for its maiden voyage to Barnard's star, Ziru Sirka, the ancient grand empire of the stars lies waiting.

Interstellar wars is a mini campaign, taking place in the history of the Traveler universe. There are six short one hour and half sessions that are tied together into a grander narrative. You can take part in just one, some or all of them. Approximate starting hours are :12:00, 14:00, 16:00 (one hour lunch break 18:00-19:00) 19:00, 21:00 and 23:00. After each adventure concludes, there is about half an hour of more strategic game where we will see how the conflict between Earth and the Grand empire proceeds.
