Ticket to the skies (suggestion game)

The Space Empire of Man is not what it used to be. For one thing it used to be enough to just say "The Empire" for people to know what you meant. It's not anymore, even though the Byrozian Empire is also populated by humen, as is the Khagari Commonwelath. And all states of note (even the Paxi Empire with the unpronounceable name) are in space.
For another there isn't really an Emperor. The Empire is actually ruled by a council of nobles who hold regency until the 'turmoil' has ended and the next emperor is elected. This has been going on for over a century (metric century. Probably over 2 centuries Kadka standard). It's not recommended to try and call it a republic though (even a 'noble' one), as that word has been somewhat tainted ever since Democratic Rebellion Of The Public Interest.
For a third there has never been this less worlds, food, iron or dependable men since The Empire was founded. Or less space travel. These days most people live out their lives within a 100 verzt (56 metric miles) of where they were born.
You were thus eager to sign up when the Imperial Scouting Service started recruiting personnel for it's new ship in your city.


You can create a character or just give suggestions (as most of the time the action will be in a group).

I tried to play chess but two of my opponents were playing competitive checkers as a third person walked in with Game of Thrones in hand confused cause they thought this was the book club.
