Introduction to Inter-Galactic League
Professor Elliot T. Reginald of the Military Research Department, while performing experiments in particle acceleration, made an accidental breakthrough discovery in the field of quantum physics. This discovery quickly changed the fate of the Galaxy forever... For the first time ever, inter-galactic travel had been unlocked. The Federation discovered, to its surprise, other galactic communities like our own, as well as the terrible revelation that whatever dark forces that has been directing and escalating the space pirates' attacks have been at work in other galaxies as well.
This discovery has led to a formation of an Inter-Galactic League - an arena where the best leaders in the universe exchange both brain and brawn. The growing darkness behind the space pirate attacks has forced every able Commander to hone their skills and strategies in preparation for the looming threat. The Inter-Galactic League is where only the best in the universe can rise and crowned Champions...

New Home Page
Well, it is definately not as fancy as some would say, but I do think it looks much better than was the Home Page of the Past. I hope everyone likes it, or at least for the time being. It is an improvement and of course it could always be improved, but it is a good first step. The Navigation Bar on top of the Wiki is a great addition as well as I find myself using it a lot. The Navigaton Bar also is available on the Mobile Wiki site and is a great fast way to navigate around the WIki from your phone or ipad. There is still a lot to be done and having most of the information on the wiki is just the first step. The next step will be to make it look better and fill in all the details and keep it up-to-date. I'd also like to see multiple language versions of the wiki, but for that will need help translating it to other languages. This wiki is specifically English based, but there can be different language versions of the Wiki in the future. Comments and suggestions are always welcome and …
Navigation Bar
- A new and improved Navigaton Bar is now incorporated into the Wiki on the top of each page. Very handy! try it out. It also works very well with the mobile version of the wiki.
