Galactic Empire

Galactic Empire is a game for MajorBBS systems developed by M.B. Murdock.

This wiki is a work in progress. Signups are not open at the moment. If you'd like to contribute please contact me.

Update April 2025: If this looks like something I just threw together in a few hours, it's because it is. Right now all of my focus is on ge-next a Galactic Empire mod/expansion. Eventually I will get back to working on this site, with more detailed information. I will keep the "Where to play online" and "How to install locally" pages up to date as needed.
