<BR>
 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Hail and well met. &nbsp;Welcome to the Galactic Empire, the only AOL-sponsored Empire on the net. &nbsp;We are excited that you have decided to join us in our quest to destroy the Rebellion. &nbsp;Included in this packet is a lot of important information.<BR>
 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The information in this packet should be read and understood before you make your first post on the boards. &nbsp;Any questions about this packet should be sent to your immediate commanding officer. &nbsp;Keep in mind that while certain parts of this packet may not seem as if they matter to you directly, that you should read all parts! &nbsp;Nothing included in here is superfluous. &nbsp;<BR>
 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Included in this .zip file are all the necessary files that you will need in order to familiarize yourself with the Galactic Realms universe and the Galactic Empire. &nbsp;Again, it would be prudent and wise for you to become familiar with this information before posting on the boards. &nbsp;Although some parts of this document you may feel do not pertain to you, you must be familiar with ALL parts. &nbsp;There is information about the bureaucracy that is important to military officers, and information about Rebel ships that even the Sith should be familiar with.<BR>
 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All files should be read inside America OnLine. &nbsp;Go to file&gt;open and then locate the appropriate file.<BR>
 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Below is a list of the files.<BR>
