Subject: StarCrush Expounded (Kickstarter Final Week)
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, the Federated Republic of Planets, is on the edge of the Federated Republic in an area that was previously considered the limits 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.

Much better post for your game system so props on that, but I would recommend you keep your news in one thread as some peeps here can get upset about 5 threads being open for one thing.
Look forward to seeing some pretty piccies as your thread continues.
The first thread was closed as spam by the mod, and rightly so, as following the rules is critical to success. Thanks for the kind words and here is a pic of some of the figures.
The name sounds like it should be a teenage girls magazine :/
Yes I told the marketing department that but they said it went along with the company name, and maintained a thread throughout our different product lines. Crucible Crush Productions, which leads to StarCrush and Diesel Crush, something about marketing.
Also it is a website that dishes gossip on A-list stars, so to a certain degree you are right. Have to look into that one.
Right now only fighter style ships are planned. We have discussed bigger ships in resin but that will be a next year thing if at all. It will depend heavily on how well the product is received.
Thanks for the question.

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 at
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.

Our Kickstarter has funded!
Just an update. This KS has been slow in building. If there is something you would like to see in this KS we would be interested in hearing about it.
We are on our way to unlocking some stretch goals and we can add to this figure line. Let us know your thoughts.
I really like the old-school look of the Commorian fships. I can almost hear Glen Larson era pew pew bloops when I look at them. The Xothic crescents are my favorite design, but the not-TIE-wings don't live up to the same standards. I'm glad you funded.
Thanks Bobtheinquisitor! I really like the Xothic FIghter but then I have seen the completed piece. The not-TIE-wings are not really not-TIE-wings I guess. If that makes sense.
