Sol Station, a civilian base in Earth orbit circa 2650, is now open for newly arrived players. From the OOC area, just type GS to go through the Get Started exit and you’ll be in the station’s shuttle bay.
New players must remain in the shuttle bay until they’ve chosen a race and gender, given themselves a description, and received approval for a biography of at least 250 words.
The bay is open for veteran players to visit from aboard Sol Station and beyond, so it’s possible to interact with newbies before they’re officially approved.
