The Milky Way Today is StarCon's In-Flight Magazine. Roger bought a detailed diecast model of an early StarCon Solar Scout advertised in the magazine. It seemed like a great investment at the time.

Behind the scenes[]

Why StarCon would refer its own inflight magazine as "Milky Way" when the games themselves take place within Earnon galaxy is not clear. Even SQ6 seems to suggest that the game takes place in The Galaxy (Earnon) and not Milky Way in that America's Funniest Home Videos broadcast originates outside of the galaxy from another galaxy (indicating its from the Milky Way and Earth). One theory is that StarCons stretches across and rules over multiple galaxies. Including MIlky Way, Earnon, and possibly Andromeda Galaxy. StarCon might have even started out from Earth (although it seems to ruled from Xenon) in several games. Though Earnon galaxy was colonized by Earth humans at one time.
