💫 About Captain Katarn – The Astro Adventurer
Hey there, I’m Tim — aka Captain Katarn of Intrepid Dawn Studios.
I’ve been through the highs and lows of MMOs from Star Wars Galaxies to EVE Online, and now I chart the uncharted in Star Citizen.

This channel is where I dig into systems-driven games that let you live the adventure not just follow a script. From deep game mechanics to raw, unscripted storytelling if the game lets you choose your path, I’m already in.

Whether you’re a fleet commander, a solo hauler, or just here for the banter, welcome aboard.
