==Premise==
 +
The Course Books are a collection of vignettes, set in a sprawling ‘[[Multi-Verse]]’ of innumerable alternate Earths: all alike, and yet each slightly different. Some of these Earths are sovereign unto themselves; but most belong to one of the three principal interstellar powers: the Foundation, the Alliance, or the Coalition of Wings.

+
The [[Foundation]] is a military school, which hires its pupils out as soldiers for one side or another, of any war they deem worthy. The [[Alliance]] is a sort of United Nations, under the ceremonial governance of a quasi-religious order of 10 peers. The [[Coalition of Wings]] is a secretive police-force, whose principal purpose is to retard social and technological development on independent worlds. These three are allies, but rivals as well. Protagonists ‘[[Hunter Jusenkyou]]’ and ‘[[Jason Bur'I]]’ are graduates of the Foundation, but later become important in the Alliance.

Its probably important to note that this is a [[train-of-thought]] sort of project, so it's basically being created as the author thinks about it.

'''''Page Prefixes'''''

*Initially, this Wiki was meant to be devoted entirely to the Course Books, and the lion's share of it is still directly devoted to the books. Anything taking place outside of the Course Books IP will have it's own category as well as employing a page prefix('''Example:''' the Mage Wars RPG pages use MRPG). If a page is marked with a clear prefix, its contents are not a part of the book series.

==Spoiler Alert!==
 
Please note, since this is basically my notebook you will find a lot of spoiler information on this wiki, things that were revealed far more dramatically in the books. For this reason I will try to avoid pointing to the exact volumes in which this information appears.
 
  
If you've already read the books, you will find MORE iformation here to fill in the backstory.
