Rebellion in the Stars or 'RitS' is a very large MUD with an average of around 7 players and 2 staff members around at a time. It is based around Star Wars by George Lucas. Currently there are around 10 planets all of which are well described. I found it fun when I first started playing RitS to just roam about planets and look at the different mobs and buildings I saw in or connected to each room.

A big part of RitS is the different clans you may decide to be in, such as the Empire and the Rebel Alliance. They form communities and hierarchies that unlike some MUDs I have played are worth trying to progress in. The two I just mentioned are often fighting about one thing or another trying to force their beliefs on one another or just trying to keep planets under their control or keep the support of their followers. Every player is important to the cause of whatever clan they join.

No two characters are the same even based on looks. There are a LOT of races to choose from and then gender, eye color, hair color, skin type, build, and based on how you play or your description, your weight and height.

While in some MUDs the sight of a character is symbolized in 'You see George.' in RitS until they have introduced themself you would see it as 'You see a toned male Wookiee.' Since roleplay is very important there, names are not known until they are told.

RitS is always being worked on to make it better for the players and while it has everything most players could ask for it is still missing one thing: the playerbase it is worthy of. This is not something that could be thought of as a good thing yet those who actually try playing will find that they are not treated as one of the four hundred people online but as a friend of the staff and the other players no matter how long they have been around.
