+.TH COSMIC.VOYAGE 1 "20 Nov 2018"
+.SH NAME
+cosmic.voyage - humanity's stellar diaspora
+.SH DESRIPTION
+.PP
+.B cosmic.voyage
+is a public access unix system (pubnix) and part of the tilde
+(tildeverse) community of micro-instances offering free shell
+accounts. It exists primarily to author and promote
+a collaborative science-fiction universe. A secondary goal is the
+promotion of command-line skills in *nix systems. The use of plain
+text tools and command line interfaces is both a thematic choice
+and technical practice.
+.SH STORY
+Our users write stories as the people aboard ships, colonies, and
+outposts, using the only remaining free, interconnected network
+that unites the dispersed peoples of the stars.
+.PP
+The
+.B Quantum Entanglement Communicator
+or
+.B QEC
+is the a device that bridges the vast distances of space with near-
+instantaneous communication. Unfortunately, it provides only
+a limited bandwidth to the ancient relay hub in the SOL system. It
+is enough for only simple, plain-text messaging.
+.PP
+The ships in our story have all left Earth behind at different
+times, and in some cases they've left from different realities.
+The QEC bridges all these gaps, uniting ships across time and
+space in the strangest of ways. Records are stored chronologically
+on the relay hub as they are received, but their source
+transmissions are often wildly out of sync.
+.SH GETTING STARTED
+.PP
+New users are greeted with a welcome email upon the creation of
+their account that provides information on creating a ship, the
+structure of files and folders, and instructions for creating logs
+to the QEC. This welcome email can be read using the programs
+.B alpine
+or
+.B mutt.
+.PP
+New users may also find it useful to use the interactive menu
+system by running the 
+.B menu
+command.
+.PP
+Finally, users may find up-to-date comprehensive guides on the
+system wiki by running the
+.B wiki
+command.
+.SH BUGS
+There are probably many bugs in this system. Please report
+anything you find by mailing 
+.B tomasino@cosmic.voyage 
+or finding us on irc.tilde.chat in the #cosmic room.
+.SH AUTHOR
+Cosmic Voyage was created by James Tomasino, but the works of
+fiction for each ship are the results of the individual authors on
+this system. Run the
+.B roster
+command to see who is responsible for each ship.
