N2 - A permutation group is said to be quasiprimitive if every nontrivial normal subgroup is transitive. Every primitive permutation group is quasiprimitive, but the converse is not true. In this paper we start a project whose goal is to check which of the classical results on finite primitive permutation groups also holds for quasiprimitive ones (possibly with some modifications). The main topics addressed here are bounds on order, minimum degree and base size, as well as groups containing special p-elements. We also pose some problems for further research.
