Game History
Star Wars MUSH was created in May 1991 and made publicly available by January 1992. The game's database was accidentally destroyed on April 15, 1994, leading to a game split that resulted in the creation of two other prominent Star Wars-themed MUSHes, Star Wars MUSH 2: A New Threat, later From the Ashes, and Star Wars MUSH 3: Minos Cluster, which went on to become Unsung Heroes, which continues as an active MUSH to this day.
After the crash, the MUSH re-opened to the public on May 21, 1994. On August 21, 1996, the players voted to move the game to a new server with a clean database, although most of the story elements and characters were carried over.

Famous quotes containing the words game and/or history:
“My first big mistake was made when, in a moment of weakness, I consented to learn the game; for a man who can frankly say “I do not play bridge” is allowed to go over in the corner and run the pianola by himself, while the poor neophyte, no matter how much he may protest that he isn’t “at all a good player, in fact I’m perfectly rotten,” is never believed, but dragged into a game where it is discovered, too late, that he spoke the truth.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“Three million of such stones would be needed before the work was done. Three million stones of an average weight of 5,000 pounds, every stone cut precisely to fit into its destined place in the great pyramid. From the quarries they pulled the stones across the desert to the banks of the Nile. Never in the history of the world had so great a task been performed. Their faith gave them strength, and their joy gave them song.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)
