The Terran Space Empire covers the known galaxy, but all is not well in Beyond Sector. Rumblings of discontent and revolution abound; will the Free Colonies hang separately, or together?

The Shot Heard Round The Universe is a space opera megagame designed by Tim Campbell, covering a turbulent period in the Beyond Sector of the Terran Space Empire. Players will take on the roles of the governments of the worlds of Beyond Sector, Imperial officials trying to maintain control of the sector, or the rabble-rousing Free Beyond.

Players will mainly represent either the government of one of the worlds of Beyond Sector, or Imperial officials attempting to govern it. Revolutionaries will evade the Ministry of Stability as they attempt to stir the worlds to revolt, while alien raiders bedevil the space lanes.
