A calm, friendly tone speaks over an intercom which crackles once or twice.

"Greetings, students of the cosmos! I am delighted to welcome you to another stellar year at Starbound Academy, where the boundaries of magic, science, and questionable decision-making are pushed to their absolute limits.

Here, you will learn to pilot starships without accidentally colliding with moons, survive hostile planets without permanently ruining your wardrobe, and occasionally, just maybe, discover the secrets of the universe—or at least how to make a sandwich that doesn't spontaneously combust.

Remember: curiosity is encouraged, chaos is inevitable, and making friends with your sentient backpack is strongly recommended. Classes will challenge you, clubs may slightly traumatize you, and rumors... well, some of them are probably true.

So strap in, keep your wits about you, and let's make this year regettably bizarre. Welcome to the adventure!"
