We’ll be launching the open beta test of IMPERIAL GALAXY, the science fiction massively multiplayer online game on Facebook, on Monday 17 December at 12:01am US Eastern time, which is 4:01pm AEDT. The www.imperialgalaxy.com website will also be live at that time.

I’ll be sending invitations to all my friends as soon as the Beta goes live, and it will be in the Applications directory and so on.

We’re very excited about IMPERIAL GALAXY. The background of the game is based on Garth Nix’s forthcoming novel A CONFUSION OF PRINCES (due out in 2009) and we’ve been playtesting it for the last three months. The game itself has been under development in its pre-Facebook incarnation for more than three years.

So a week from now, you can join the Imperial Navy and with your friends go forth to reclaim the lost Rozaxra Domain from Sad-Eye and Deader aliens, Mrouzh Rebels, Naknuk Secessionists, pirates, rebels and other star-scum. To your ships, my friends!
