There were a handful of novels (maybe a dozen? or fewer?), the games Leviathan (massive space dreadnaught battles), Renegade Legion Interceptor (space fighter combat), Centurion (tank/infantry/ground-support), Prefect (an "operational" wargame that combines space battleship, space fighter and ground unit combat to control star systems, very abstract), and the very tongue-in-cheek Circus Maximus which is a chariot race game.įor the wargame(s) a few different campaign booklets were released (as was FASA's style with Battletech) that were full of linked scenarios. The other is a more direct representation of Renegade Legion (the space battles game) in that it is a top-down, counter-and-hex style battle game. There's two old DOS games that were kind of OK one was a Wing Commander like 3d flight sim which had a pretty revolutionary feature at the time: the whole game installed off of CD and once it was done you could put any disk in your CD-ROM drive and play music from it to suit your tastes.

Humanity kept the rediscovered Roman traditions since they seemed to work as a method of government various good and bad emperors (and empresses) have come and gone but the last one has pushed the Citizens over the line, a fairly Nero-like fellow, hence the rebellion. Well, the "ancient rituals" from the "history books" were basically forming Roman legions and training in gladiator arenas, and eventually there was a massive uprising across dozens of star systems, and the enemy was cast down. One of them read some history books and asked the overlords if it was OK if humans practiced ancient rituals, the aliens said, sure, do whatever, just make sure you keep breeding and keep working dangerous jobs. The setting is basically that after a few millennia of expansion and running in to a few different alien races (including one that actually confirms a little of that nutjob Von Dainken's "Chariots of the Gods" nonsense about ancient astronauts!), humanity got mostly crushed down and oppressed by a hostile alien race (can't remember what they were called), and rounded up and scattered across the galaxy to be used as disposable slaves. It is very much a military SF game the tank and spacecraft games are even more crunchy than Battletech (if you can believe it).
