FASA Timeline
(FASA Roleplaying Game)


Founded in 2202 by an interstellar cartel of entertainment directors, Wrigley's Pleasure Planet was actually a rogue asteroid[2] about 600km in diameter[3] that was moved into orbit of Mars. Hollowed out and converted into a self-contained amusement center devoted to delighting young and old for a modest price, this asteroid contained numerous parks and special theme centers reflecting a wide range of entertainments and diversions.[2] Large areas of the asteroid's interior were converted into entertainment complexes, including theme parks simulating the environments of major planets in the Federation.[3] On Stardate 1513.1, Crewman Darnell of the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701, when encountering the M-113 creature, was telepathically induced to see instead a woman that he had met on Wrigley's Pleasure Planet.[4]
