<h1><p style="font-family:times;color:Blue">Overview</p></h1>
An organization founded a million years ago on the planet Odrugar whose members are dedicated to protecting the peoples of the Galaxy from all sorts of dangers, threats, and menaces. Its warriors, or Star Guardians, all wield a powerful weapon called a Star*Staff or Star-Staff. The Star*Guard base in Earth's solar system is located on Europa, a moon of Jupiter. Currently, the Guardian of Earth's region is Andre Almena.


<h1><p style="font-family:times;color:Blue">History</p></h1>
Approximately one million
years ago, on the planet Odrugar deep in what
is now Se’ecra territory, an extraordinary being
named Gloran was born. Gloran had one of the
most powerful minds the Galaxy had ever known,
and from a young age he became aware of the
insidious nature of evil and the responsibility the
strong had to protect the weak. He built a massive
computer he called CONTROL, more advanced
than any that had ever existed, and with its assistance
began to seek out and battle those who would
endanger the innocent and cause suffering to other
intelligent life forms.
Gloran fought his war on evil for untold centuries,
gathering to his side many allies, until at last
his body began to fail him. Refusing to give up his
crusade, he had his own brain engrams uploaded
directly into the circuits of CONTROL. That way
he could continue to assist and advise his followers,
who by this time had become an army of hundreds
known across space as the Star*Guard.
The Guard adopted as its uniform the battlesuit
Gloran wore, and with the aid of CONTROL
developed a magnificent weapon known as the
Star-Staff, which was feared by evildoers across
the Galaxy. The earliest members of the Guard
formed a Council of Overseers to manage the
group which by the mid-twentieth century (as
Earth accounts Time) had thousands of members
patrolling the spaceways. The Council began to
assign Star*Guards to specific sectors of space, with
support teams (called “Marshals”), and bases full
of equipment and ships to carry out their missions.
Earth’s sector received its first Star*Guard, a Dendrian
named Brin Rei Tarn, in 1968, and he served
there until his death in 1990 at the hands of a traitorous
former Guardsman called Mordace.
The first (and to that point only) Human
Star*Guard — a Spaniard named Andre Almena
— replaced Tarn. Almena was still active in 2009
when Mordace led a small army of the Guard’s in
a direct assault on Odrugar. That attack decimated
the Guard and the Council, and damaged the
physical quantum matrix containing CONTROL’s
memory circuits.
Almena and the other survivors did their best
to rebuild the organization, but the Star*Guard
had barely regained its footing when the defeat of
Tyrannon changed the fundamental nature of the
Universe in 2020. The Guardsmen found that many
of their devices, including many functions of the
Star-Staffs, no longer worked. (The Guard had long
been aware that a “primal force” underlay Reality
and made certain powers possible, but kept this
information a closely-guarded secret, unknown
even to most Guardsmen, for various reasons.)
With their weapons weakened and CONTROL no
more than a powerful computer, the Guard adopted
new tactics of secrecy and subtlety. Teaching its
members the skills of infiltration and disguise,
the Guard transformed itself over the next few
decades into a secret underground society, eschewing
frontal assaults and well-armed bases for quiet
stealth ships, networks of contacts, and missions of
subversion from within. They continued to recruit
new agents, and were sometimes nearly as effective
as before, even if almost no one knew of their existence.
The public image of the organization faded
into legend and mythology.
By the second half of the thirtieth century, the
Star*Guard was a small but efficient secret society
of no more than a hundred Guards and three Overseers,
still based on Odrugar (which had become
a pastoral world of simple farmers who helped
hide the Council’s secrets). One of the Overseers,
however, had not come up through the ranks of
the Guards as the others had. 2-N Violet was an
Az’arc’a, one of the mysterious energy beings
known to live in radiation belts around a gas giant
near the Galactic Core. A spherical mass of pulsing
rings of plasma, Violet claimed to be many thousands
of years old and to have known hundreds
of Star*Guards, among them some of the greatest
heroes of the organization. Violet said he could see
the future, and maintained that it was very important
to the future of the Galaxy that the Guard
remain an active force.
In 3000, the Kolvel Event made superpowers
and super-technology — including the full
functions of the Star-Staff — possible once more.
With the aid of 2-N Violet and a Malvan engineer
named Heddras, the Overseers vastly improved
the weapon and placed the first one in the hands
of Koh Calidore, a Perseid Guardsman they felt
was the most qualified to lead the organization
into the future. Since then, the Guard has started a
slow, careful recruiting drive, seeking beings from
throughout the Galaxy with the moral fiber, bravery,
devotion to justice, and willpower to become
part of this august organization.

<h1><p style="font-family:times;color:Blue">Group Relations</p></h1>
The Star*Guard is an organization
in transition, moving from a thousand years
of secrecy and silence back to a public role on the
stage of galactic affairs. Some of the Guard will no
doubt find the transition difficult, but the Council
hopes the recruiting efforts of Calidore and those
like him will bring in honorable warriors worthy of
the name... and, in turn, that they will prove worthy
of the burden of leading this group of heroes.
Tactics: The Star*Guard has relatively few “group
tactics” as a military organization would define that
term. Traditionally each Guardsman operated more
or less independently, calling upon his fellows for
help only in the most desperate circumstances —
but even then, a group of Guards were more likely
to fight together than truly act in concert tactically.
Each Guard relies primarily on his Star-Staff
in battle. An energy weapon of great power, it can
project concussive bolts, move hundreds of tons,
create force-barriers, and propel the user through
the air or space at tremendous speeds. Each
Guardsman’s Staff works a little differently, with
the color of its energy and the ways it manifests
depending on the Guardsman’s personality and
imagination. For times when energy powers won’t
get the job done, Guardsmen are trained in Odrugaran
staff-fighting as well as a host of other skills.
