From the Official Tabula Rasa Backstory:

Without warning or provocation, a fleet of alien spacecraft descended to Earth and launched a devastating attack. The Bane were impossibly advanced, merciless, and seemingly unstoppable. Our cities were annihilated, and mankind was on the brink of extinction.

But the seeds for Mankind’s deliverance had been planted on our home centuries before by the Eloh, estranged cousins of the Bane. In Earth’s twilight hours, by fate or by design, we discovered the advanced technology they left behind and used it to create wormhole portals; doorways to other planets. These portals allowed the lucky and able to escape the confines of Earth and travel to a handful of alien worlds.

You are a soldier of Humanity, set adrift in a hostile universe. Your home world is lost, but with loss comes new opportunity. A chance to overcome. A chance to begin again.

Tabula Rasa. Clean slate.

The world, as you knew it, has ended.

The Battle for Control of the Universe Begins Now.

Tabula Rasa is the latest masterpiece from legendary game designer Richard Garriott, aka Lord British. He consistently redefined the fantasy genre with his award winning Ultima series and was responsible for the world’s first successful MMOG, Ultima Online. Tabula Rasa will merge the depth and purpose of RPGs with the fast-paced action of FPSs and combine it all into a MMOG universe. High tech weapons, mystical powers and an epic intergalactic war await - do you have what it takes to turn the tide?
