From the ashes of an ancient conflict, a cosmic war threatens all sentient beings with extinction. As the alien Benefactors and Bane amass their forces for the final battle, the galaxy’s last free sentient beings are the thin line between life and death, between good and evil.

Explore lush forest planets, volcanic moons, and exotic alien civilizations. Face off against powerful xenophobe soldiers, armored mechanoids, and vicious predators! Use a wide range of weapons and unique magical alien powers to help the Allied Free Sentients (AFS) in their desperate fight against extinction. Tabula Rasa combines a vast, persistent game world and ongoing storyline with fast-paced action, resulting in a striking new approach to the design of multiplayer online games.

When players engage in PvP combat, their stats will be recorded and a ranking system will let others know who is the best of the best on their respective server. The ladders will be listed on the official Tabula Rasa site and can be sorted by name, rank, server, wins, losses or win/loss ratio. Soon, the charts will also track the top 50 duelists or PvP clans determined by rank.
