Modes of FTL Travel Hyperspace Hyperspace is a higher dimension in which the standard mode of travel is tachyonic - i.e faster than the speed of light. Entry to hyperspace is much more easy in a zone in the vicinity of a massive body, e.g a sun or black hole, because the fabric of space is already ...

More stuff. Commonly-Used Naval Weapons Naval combat in the 39th Century is built around the power of weapons. As such, there is an ongoing arms race between the strength of naval weapons and the power of arrestor fields. This article catalogues the types of naval weapon in use by the major powers o...

Count me in, for the first time,

Inspired by Somes J's excellent piece of Nurglite propaganda, which I just had to make a counterpoint to. As it's intended to be a short in-universe piece, I don't think it fits in my bin. When, I was young, I did not understand. Back then I was just yet another holy fool, still in love with the cru...

Good, very good. I might have to make some Tzeentchian propaganda to counteract this.

EINSTEIN! WAS! WRONG! GENEVA — A pillar of physics — that nothing can go faster than the speed of light — appears to be smashed by an oddball subatomic particle that has apparently made a giant end run around Albert Einstein's theories. Scientists at the world's largest physics lab said Thursday th...

Columbian Military Armed Forces The Planetary Army The Planetary Army is the swift and brutal hammer of the Columbian Military Armed Forces.

Belated birthday for Siege!

Stuff that I'd like to see in the setting: Inexplicable things. Even in the future, not everything is understood or easily comprehended. Things like immense alien artifacts or bizarre species, the works. War, both cold and hot. The human sphere of the galaxy is divided, and while it may be peaceful ...

Nobody interested? I suppose I'll try and make a rough overview of events from the Terran perspective. 2018: Resource Wars begin on Earth, devastating the world as countries battle for oil and other vital resources. UN interventions are insufficient to stop the fighting. 2027: Resource Wars end. Spa...

Post who you tried and if you stumped him!

So, I thought this up while looking at and thinking of various settings I've seen, and thinking why can't we create something like this? . I then decided to set this into motion with a basic genre, ground rules and so forth. Basically, we build this 'verse from the ground up, using ground rules devi...

THE COUNTERFACTUAL INVASION Prologue This war had come out of nowhere. The music came out of the London nightclub in great waves. It was loud, cranked up as high as it could be. How else could the people within forget the ongoing war? By the nightclub's door a poster was situated, the words 'KEEP C...

So, an Alien Space Bat appears to you, and explains the following. You will be given a choice of 7 people to rule your nation for life, one is present-day and the others are historical, you are only given the vaguest information about them. Here are your choices: THE QUEEN - She lives in wealth and ...

So, have a new story idea. Basically, it's mil-SF, intended as a deconstruction of the godawful Freehold series (which is about a wanked-out libertarian 'paradise' and its struggles with the EEEVUL space UN). Basically, it goes like this: In the future, various interstellar governments have emerged,...

Myself, I'm writing a 40K alternate-universe fanfic, and I'm not feeling any lessened creativity.

Oh, where to begin? After struggling and failing to come up with new ideas for my latest 'verse, I decided to come up with another space opera, inspired by, of all things, a 40K fanfic of mine (don't ask). But whereas 40K with all its grimdark is a deconstruction of the space opera, I consider this ...

This actually sounds interesting. A sky pirate steampunk feel. with magic. Nice. I like some of the tongue in cheek sentences, like the part about Byzanti...I mean Constantinople. Nice touch. And Dracula as an actual political player would be cool (I do believe Speaker and Siege were talking about ...

At last, I have a rough idea of the title, the characters and so forth. Title is Alexis Jones and the Armageddon Engine (or just The Armageddon Engine , haven't decided yet). Anyway, (some of the) characters (yes, I know, some are miserably short): Stefana Castellucio Italian sky pirate admiral, con...

Happy birthday Dakarne!

So, I just finished reading Wolf Hunt: The Burning Ages , a recently released (July 2011) book from Sebastian P. Breit, who is a member of my alternate history board . Wolf Hunt is a story about time travel, specifically from the decaying future world of 2024 to the height of WW2 - 1940. And it is v...
