The StarCrush Universe is newly created with the goal of bringing our new line of starship miniatures to life. So what do we have to tell you about the universe? We are hoping this universe will provide a vibrant and energizing background for your gaming experience. So here are some of the basics about StarCrush.
1. Commorium is only one planet in a much larger Empire. Or more correctly the Commorium Quadrant which is ruled and governed from the planet Commorium is part of something much larger than itself. It exists in a universe that something much larger is happening and they are only one player on a much bigger stage. The Commorium Quadrant, although an old and staid member of the FREP, is on the edge of the Federated Republic in an area that was previously considered the edge of known space. Recent improvements in technology have allowed the movement of exploration teams into a new frontier beyond the Commorium Quadrant, and has resulted in the meeting of a new and alien race.

2. The Federated Republic Empire of Planets (FREP) is the larger governing body of a whole series of planets, republics and empires that are brought together under one ruling senate. Why did we do this? The intention here is that you can use the Commorium miniatures as part of a much larger galaxy spanning empire in your current campaign if you want too. Refered to as "The Federated Republic" or just simply the empire, there are over 100 different groups of planets united under the banner. Most groups govern themselves and meet at the senate to discuss more galaxy spanning issues.

3. The Xothic are a new race of aliens previously unknown to the Federated Republic. They have shown up in an area of space that was previously uncharted and that there has been no known adversary for the last millennium. They have been very aggressive so far and non-communicative with the Commorium. There will be more revealed about the Xothic in upcoming videos and blog entries.
This is a brief overview of the universe of StarCrush. More will be revealed as we move forward so please stay tuned for more information.

I think you'd do better if you just gave us some facts. Fluff is cheap...
1) These are the X-Wing scale ship sculpts that Bob Murch showed a while back. Going into production now?
2) What else is coming out? More ships? A game? What's cool about it?
3) Prices? Kickstarter or traditional release schedule? International availability?
4) When will all this be available?
I did like those minis, and it's good to see them find a home. Sorry to be a grump ;)

Answers to big questions.
We are rolling out lots of information in the upcoming month about these miniatures as we build interest.
1) Yes these are the ships that Bob Murch showed.
2) There are at least two more ships scheduled for the initial release. (The bad guys)
3) It will be an upcoming KS, stay tuned for details.
4) June KS with shipping in September or thereabouts (planned).
No grump taken and thanks for the insight!

Thanks - will be following this with interest!

Our Friday blog is up now. We will be releasing blogs about the StarCrush universe on Wednesdays and Fridays for the next month as we move toward the launch of the figure line. On Monday we will be releasing a video installment telling the back story of the StarCrush universe titled the Commorium Incident.
http://starcrushminiatures.blogspot.ca/
Today's blog is a story which links our two videos together. It tells the story of the Star Cruiser Oberan Dream and their attempts to determine the source of the meteor showers that are plaguing the quadrant.
-
The second video of our introduction to the StarCrush universe is live today. It is called The Commorium Incident Video 2 - Planet Probe. This video continues the story from our last blog and shows the footage that the probe from the Oberan Dream sends back to the crew. The video also reveals more details about the universe and gives more insight into the incident. The video is introduced in a newscast format to provide information in an easily recognizable manner, which means what the announcer says is as important as the images. Please enjoy the video.

The third video of our introduction to the StarCrush universe is live today. It is called The Commorium Incident Video 3 - First Casualty. This video continues the story from our last blog entry which was released on Friday and shows footage from Lt. Tontor Lothnon's reconnaissance mission. Please join us as we continue to introduce the Star Crush universe. https://youtu.be/-q6DzJBBUYQ (https://youtu.be/-q6DzJBBUYQ)

It's Monday and that means our new video has been released.
There are four video's now that tell the story of the Commorium Incident which is the first meeting between the Commorium and the Xothic peoples. We will be releasing concept art for the Xothic ships on our blog this week. Please check it out at https://youtu.be/Gx39qih8skE (https://youtu.be/Gx39qih8skE)

It's also half way through June, so where's the KS? lol
I can't believe I missed this thread until now, and I'm the vacchead of the group...
I tend to prefer games of larger ships, but find the fellow on the right most intriguing as such. Not that I've shied away from the occasional game of X-Wing.
As for the videos, I'll be giving them a watch soon.
Thanks!

We are now Funded!
That wasn't really difficult as we have the figures ready to go, but still good news.
This Kickstarter has gotten off to a slow start so please let us know what you would like to see in terms of starfighter miniatures, we can certainly look at adding these things as stretch goals!
Thanks for your support.
-
To be honest, one thing that would put me off your kickstarter and company is that I can't see anything on the KS page or your website that tells me who you are? No personal details about the 50 years in the gaming industry and no physical contact address...

Posted the address on the site.
The KS supplies the information about who Bob Murch is and why he is doing a new company.
Thanks Mike
