Sit down. Let me tell you about someone i knew.....

His name was Bryan Agustus Cash. Let me tell you a little bit how he came into existence. PART I

My brother joined a tabletop role play group around 1989 or so. It was losely based on fasa at the time. New to this sort of thing and with a love of the original star trek my brother rolled his first ever rpg character. Now with his deep love for the original series his captain archetype was at first very similar to James Tiberius Kirk. Hence the similar sounding name. During this time there was no Venture Star yet really. Alex had some drawing he did when he was younger and a few ideas....that grouping of Cash and Venture Star would come later.

The group played together and continued on for a few years and as it did Bryan Agustus Cash evolved. Becoming less "kirk" like and more into his own kind of captain. It was i think around early 1991 that we first signed online with good ol AOL. Alex was always at that first computer Exploring the Internet. It of course didn't take long for him to discover star trek on the net. Those exploration lead to him finding out about online role play in that same year. He discovered an online group called the galactic sim federation. They where very small and had only a couple of games. One was a dreadnought....called Intimidator. Now alex didn't much care for starship names like that for TOS ships. So he approached the leader of the group with an idea.

With a modified dreadnought design of his own and an even better name. Captain Bryan Agustus Cash finally came together with the one thing that would define him for over ten years. USS Venture Star.
