Introduction“<strong>Star</strong> <strong>Mogul</strong>: Ruins of an Empire” is a set of rules for use with the 28mm scale, table-top sci-fi war gamesminiatures manufactured by Alpha Forge Games.After the discovery of the Tachyon Drive by the ‘Tread Lightly Corp.’ in 2227, the era of slow and difficultexpansion to the stars was over for mankind. Previously, only a small number of great expeditions to the starswere undertaken with manned crews after the ‘pale blue dots’ - Earth-like planets - began to be discovered backin the 2020s.The journey times of the ‘Great Expeditions’ lasted decades. No word of their success or failure could be receiveduntil long after any events had occurred. Nevertheless, despite some dramatic failures, many of the colonistsinvolved in these expeditions succeeded, and word did get back to Earth that humanity had finally broken freefrom its cradle and was living and developing its culture on other worlds.All this took a long time to accomplish - the Tachyon drive changed all that. A revolution in space travel occurredfor all the nations of the Earth shortly after its discovery as the details of the technology were leaked, bought orstolen. Mankind was already well established throughout the home system by 2227, with working colonies onseveral of Jupiter’s moons, Mercury, the Asteroid Belt and Earth’s Moon. The terraforming and settlement of Marsinto a wider more accessible habitation for humanity was also well under way.After 2227, numerous nations and groups began building their own armadas of star ships, mostly with theintention of colonizing even further afield than previously achieved by the Great Expeditions. For many more palebluedots had been seen since they first began to be discovered, and the new technology quickly became readilyaffordable. Earth was a crowded place and the prospect of establishing a fresh vibrant society with planet-wideand unchallenged resources elsewhere was an enticing prospect for many political and/or religious organizationswho found it difficult to gain ground on Earth. Out amongst the stars, power was not yet held tightly in the grip ofthe largest governments and corporations.A race began with the intention of colonizing space and large sums of money were offered to Earth’s civilians toenlist in the ranks of the many armadas leaving for the outer colonies.This time became known as the ‘Young Exodus’, as most of the colonists were chosen for their youth and vigor.The call of the colonies lured many out into space to an uncertain future, but many saw the benefits over acrowded and stifling life on Earth.The colonies were initiated, some over 100 light years from Earth. However, a number of them reporteddiscovering evidence of ancient relics from a long dead civilization, which was compounded even further when theevidence was collated and the results seemed to indicate the different colonies were reporting evidence fromwhat were the relics of the same civilization! The ruins and artifacts discovered proved to be more than 400,000years old. The discovery came initially as a shock for much of humanity. Besides the many scientific/archeologicalforays to discover further evidence, many saw it as an opportunity to get rich quick, and sought to discovervaluable artifacts among the alien ruins, of which there seemed to be many. With the help of the Tachyon drive, itwas possible for small groups to begin combing the ever-expanding frontier of space for more of these valuablealien relics. A new gold rush began, led by factions emerging from the original human colonies established during5
