	Precursor (Star Control) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Star Control 2, it is implied that the Precursors had assembled a series of sensor-defying "Rainbow Worlds" and used them to point the direction in which they had left.
		In Star Control 3 it is revealed that to protect themselves from the Eternal Ones, a race that inefficiently consumed the energy of all sentient beings once an eon, the Precursors genetically modified themselves to mentally resemble the intelligence of a cow.
		The process was able to be temporarily reversed on a single Precursor, giving this knowledge to a captain before it died, and though said to keep it a secret that the Ortogs were the Precursors, to stop the races from consuming the Ortogs.

	Chemical Controls
		Chemical control, as a strategy to prevent a crime, requires the examination of proposed commercial chemical transactions, the bulk of which are legitimate, to identify and stop those liable to diversion to illicit drug manufacture.
		In recognition of this, precursor control as a preventive measure is a major focus in combating drug crime in Germany.
		With U.S. assistance, a precursor chemical assessment was completed in November 2003, providing a roadmap for the government to implement a series of reforms, including drafting new chemicals control legislation, which could substantially reduce the flow of precursor chemicals and increase the effectiveness of interdiction efforts in coca growing areas.

	Star Formation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		Even with this incomprehensible number, new stars are forming all the time somewhere in the galaxy.
		One of the most prodigious star forming regions is the Orion molecular cloud complex, which is a vast structure in space (over 100 light years across) located roughly 1500 light years from Earth.
		Stars are known to form inside giant molecular clouds which are composed of dust and gas.

	Everything you ever wanted to know about Star Control
		Star Control is a genre of space exploration games which take place in earth's near future.
		The Precursors, whose artifacts were largely applied by scrounging Alliance and Hierarchy forces alike to warships, had disappeared without much trace some 235,000 years ago, and the discovery of a Precursor ship building installation on Vela could have assisted the war effort greatly -- had it not come too late.
		I think the Star Control community is mixed on how best to treat the events of the third game; some have rejected it entirely, I will accept it as canon, because nothing that transpired really influenced anything.

	Review - Star Control 3 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		Star Control 3 attempts to meld the two into a complete intergalactic adventure of strategy and diplomacy.
		When Star Control 3 was announced to be released by MacSoft, I responded with a huge "huh?" Mac gamers who don't venture too far into PC games won't be familiar with this Accolade title, and even some who do try to keep tabs on PC games won't know it.
		Star Control and Star Control 2 were both rather well-received games in the PC world, and the release of version 3 in 1996 was the fulfillment of great anticipation by many PC gamers.

	Xerox Star
		The system was designed for the casual user, and their personal workstations would be connected via Ethernet, sharing printers, and servers, etc. Star used a bitmapped screen, windows, a two-buttoned mouse and icons, which no other computer systems at that time had.
		To simplify for the user, Star used generic commands, that is a small set of commands that could be applied to all data (Move, Copy, Open, Delete, Show, Properties and Same).
		Star not only used default options, but it hid the other options, so the users do not have to worry about them.

	STAR CONTROL II by Crystal Dynamics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		Star Control II is an RPG set in the far future with real time combat in the spirit of the classic Starflight series and the original Star Control games.
		Through an eventful series of events, Star Control Captain I. Burton and her ship the Tobermoon are forced to land on the planet Vela II.
		Star Control II has a very distinct tone and mood, and pretty much stands alone in the RPG world (the original Starflight's come close).

	Star Control II
		Star Control II holds much in common with its popular predecessor, such as large star maps, starship factories, a definitive space-combat simulator, interstellar exploration, and more--there's plenty here for 100 hours of play.
		Star Control II configures itself automatically on most systems, will run under Windows, and works happily in tandem with a disk-caching program.
		Star Control II gives you exactly what you want in a space adventure: action, bizarre technologies, monsters, friendly aliens, vicious aliens, a love interest, and unfathomed mysteries.

	GURPS Star Control: Interbellum Information
		Interbellum/Star Control 3: The timeline in SCIII claims that the Galacticus was destroyed after Hyperspace stopped working: This obviously can't be true because the Captain is showing it to his grandchildren at the end of SCII.
		Combining this with the Precursor's comment that the Utwig have reached the limit of their Precursor Potential, and that humans have vast amounts of Potential, it seems as if the Human Heart has switched its focus from the Utwig to the Humans.
		Star Control's universe--especially with regards to Interbellum-- is a science fantasy universe.

		When I was in High School, a few years after Star Control came out, I had the game on a 3.5â floppy that I took with me to school.

		The sacrifice of your Precursor vessel was necessary to destroy the Ur-Quan battle platform, and consequently save the recently formed New Alliance of Free Stars from being annihilated by the mighty Ur-Quan armies.
		Voices in Star Control 2 were sometimes difficult to distinguish as the sound quality was not exactly crystal clear.

		Should a star implode in a nearby system, a player checking the system makes sense, but is not required.
		Luckily, your latest starship, again built with Precursor technology, has a new stardrive system known as "Warp-Bubble Transport." The story is good, but has a kludged feel, to better serve the plot.
		Star Control 3 is, however, one of the better games to appear on the shelves this year.

		Under cover of thick fog, the soldiers were able to approach several addresses in the port city of Basra undetected and seize seven suspects without a shot being fired, military spokesman Major Charlie Burbridge told AFP.
		"The purpose of this raid is not just to apprehend this individual, but it is a precursor to disbanding the Serious Crimes Unit of the Basra police," he said by telephone from the restive southern city.
		Burbridge said that British forces, with the support of Iraqi leaders, had found evidence that the unit was involved in "death squad activities" and had decided to wind it up, starting with Friday's dawn raid.

		Star Control 2 is very different from the other two games that bear the name "Star Control", however it is suspiciously similar to the Starflight series of games.
		A direct comparison can be made of such gameplay ideas as the gathering of raw materials, the exploration of space, the coordinate map, even the alien diplomacy/interaction that makes this game famous.
		The first Starflight game was able to do this years before Star Control.
