This web site is devoted to developing starships and background history of the Strategic Space Command universe. This is based on the plastic model of the Leif Ericson released by AMT back in 1968. This was the model used by Jerry Pournelle and Larry Niven as the inspiration for the INSS MacArthur in their classic novel The Mote In God's Eye.

The model was introduced in 1968 in an attempt to cash in on the "Star Trek" craze of the 60's, but was a financial flop and no additional models were produced. However, baby-boomer SF fans refuse to let the model die. Battered examples rarely appear on EBay, and generally go for several hundred dollars.

Recently a SSC Discussion Group was created to help flesh out the SSC universe.
