“If we have tried to understand the unknown instead of fearing it, I would have to imagine things would have turned out differently.” Captain Zar-X-Let of the Heragul Battleship Sarlet 1 - In orbit of the Krylan home world following the battle of Armageddon.

Beyond Kalidasia is the official Internet television show of Legends of Kalidasia. The first episode should be released in a week or two, but until then, enjoy the intro of the show:

Two new small expansions are under development for Legends of Kalidasia and each one will feature a new class of warship. The Surakari Fleet Pack will include the Surakari Gun Boat while the Heragul Fleet Pack will introduce the Tiger Shark Frigate.
Up until now, all the Surakari vessels are based on a single design philosophy. The Gun Boat breaks this mold by taking the best characteristics from the Destroyer and Frigate classes and merges them into a single warship. Not only is the Gun Boat the fastest warship in the game, but it also lacks the signature beam weapons of the other front line Surakari vessels. Despite having a deadly reputation, the Gun Boat is seen only in limited numbers….for now.
The existing Heragul Frigate design in thousands of years old. The current ruler of the Heragul Empire has ordered that all Heragul warship designs should be updated. Currently, the Tiger Shark Frigate is the only new design in mass production. Built around a massive Fire Torpedo launcher, the Tiger Shark packs more firepower and speed then the current Frigate. Unfortunately, only a single factory is producing Tiger Sharks and about one hundred ships have been built. As a result, most combat fleets only have access to a single Tiger Shark. Usually, this Tiger Shark leads other Frigates into battle.

This file contains the rules I used for running the team battles at Michicon 2010. It also contains a number of tables from the core rules, making it an excellent quick reference sheet.
Rise of the Surakari is the first chapter of Legends of Kalidasia, the debut war game from Kalidasia Media Productions LLC. Legends of Kalidasia is a fast playing space combat game. Each player controls either a Heragul or Surakari Fleet and they challenge other players in an original, dynamic universe.
150 million years ago, the Surakari launched an attack on the Heragul Empire. In a matter of weeks, a half dozen star systems had fallen to the invaders. Now, the Minex System has come under attack. Home to over three billion Heragul, the Minex system must be defended at all costs. Rise of the Surakari begins the story of the battle for the Minex system.
More information about Legends of Kalidasia can be found in our Game Play Section. The printed and electronic versions of the game can be bought through our Products Page. A free introduction kit can be also be found there.

Declare your allegiance to the Heragul Empire with this shirt. Featuring two Heragul frigates and a burning Surakari frigate over the moon of Tyronna Four, it proudly displays the complete motto of the Heragul Empire. In addition, the emblem of the Heragul fades into background in the corner of the image.
It looks like I made a small non-game related typo on the first production run of the Rise of the Surakari Cards. Instead of Copyright 2010 Jason Rutherford, they were supposed to read Warship Artwork by Jason Rutherford, Copyright 2010 Kalidasia Media Productions LLC. I guess the first 100 card decks can be considered collectors items.
Also, for some unknown reason, the game has seven stat cards for the Heragul Transport. There are only supposed to four cards. Oh well. These extra stat cards do not take the place of any other stat cards.
