If you've ever watched, read, or even thought about space, space ships, and all the excitement and peril that goes with them, you'll love Miriani. You are thrown into a galaxy where anything goes. You can become a feared pirate, a cheerful author, or photographer, an archaeologist, or defend the galaxy by fighting off the Praelor, and their biological ships.

This is the most gripping MUD I've ever played. Within two months, I've climbed up the piloting ranks, and I now run dangerous missions into Praelor space with my 6-person destroyer Alice II, with any crew who has the stomach for fast and furious space battle.

But fighting is not all there is to it. I have friends who do nothing but dig in the various archaeology sites for evidence of lost civilizations, write books or just have fun.

The game is heavily into RP, but for those who aren't into that kind of thing, no problem. Own your own ship, or in a private room, with everyone's consent, you can talk as out of character as you like, so there's no pressure.

Hope to see you on there, look up Cray, and I'll show you the ropes (and the technology, and the action).
