Sparks from the Past is an actual-play Traveller podcast set in the far future, where survival often comes at the expense of freedom.
The Solomani Confederation claims to be the last true guardian of Humanity. Loyalty is mandatory. Citizens are watched constantly, political reliability determines every opportunity, and questioning the state is enough to make someone disappear.
When a group of strangers are accused of crimes against the Confederation, they awaken together inside a government detention facility. Some are innocent. Some are guilty. All have already been judged. Faced with execution, labor camps, or political disappearance, escape becomes their only hope.
Their flight carries them far beyond the borders of the Confederation into the fractured politics of the Third Imperium, where forgotten wars, ancient technology, and long-buried conspiracies begin to surface. As the truth unfolds, they discover that their imprisonment was only the first spark in a story that reaches across the stars.
Sparks of the Past is a cinematic science fiction campaign about survival, exile, loyalty, and the search for freedom in a galaxy that is vast, indifferent, and dangerous.
Sometimes the past refuses to stay buried. Sometimes the smallest spark can change the course of history.
