If you ask around on the Usenet newsgroups, someone may tell you how to access these MUD/MUSHes. Here is a description of Star Wars: The Minos Cluster. Star Wars: The Minos Cluster. The Mush is set in the time after 'The Empire Strikes Back' in a small cluster on the rim, largely ignored by most places. Supplies are limited, and the cluster is the last to know about anything. Of course, the Empire still fights the growing Rebellion, with little help from the Core, who fight their own battles and care little about a few backwater worlds and revolting farmers. The Syndicate, a powerful underworld cartel, supplies the citizens with drugs, and illegal supplies. The Minos Mestra corp, an offshoot of the CSA, mines asteroids for minerals, while hanging in the delicate balance of neutrality. It's a place where people struggle to survive and make do with what they have. It's a place where anything is possible. Star Wars: The Minos Cluster is fully "In Character", with working space, combat, skills system, experience system, economy, cargo, etc. Login as guest and follow the instructions to get a character.
