You may be wondering after seeing the introduction to this universe and some of its art "what sets EOTP apart from the rest of the cluttered world of science fiction?" To understand that, I will explain how the series came into being.

Back in 1998, after a spirited political debate, it hit me that dispite our differences, Christians, Jews and Muslims are for the most part very much alike. Yet, throughout the world, you would hardly know that. Religious wars rage; who's 'right' and 'wrong' is immaterial to this story, but the fact they exist is very much at its center. I set out to find some means to, in my own small way, bring these three sides closer together.

As a creative writer, I rapidly seized on the idea of a science fiction series set in the future, where everyone worked together. Many other sci-fi universes have taken this approach, but almost all do so by elimination of religion and political differences. As a Christian, I find that idea to be completely implausible - take Judaism for instance, it has existed for over three thousand years. Somehow I can't see having the ability to travel in outer space changing that.

And so, slowly, EOTP was born. EOTP is a rich tapestry that contains many meaningful and wonderful stories. Stories which I hope will cause everyone who reads and hears them to consider what life would be like if, like the citizens of the Terran Coalition, we pledged that "As long as men shall live, we will never again take up weapons against one another."

Darren Cass
Lead 3D Artist

I was born in Santa Monica in 1976, and I always had a fascination with all forms of art. My parents and friends always encourage me to fallow my passions, and helped with my dreams, and being there for me, of course, being very understanding. After moving to Bakersfield, my new home, I continued my art and my passion, as time went on, my passion changed to Computer Graphics and Designs. Soon I met a great friend, and mentor, he gave me the knowledge and encouragement that lead me to being a full-fledged graphic artist, and then shortly afterwards I became the Lead Artist for EOTP.

Joel Steudler
Music, art, web design

Some see him as a dangerous recluse, others as a harmless old hermit. If you encounter Joel outside of his native habitat, do not agitate him, and feed him only at your own risk. He has been observed engaging in many questionable activities of a dubious nature, such as composition of subversively entertaining music; crafting images which may contain subject matter inappropriate for chimps; and generally disrupting the peace. Beware.
