From "Ashes of Empire" by Brother Emil of the Stouthaven Monastic Order When one speaks of Empire many examples come to mind, from the many pocket empires of the Barbarian lords to the edge of the network, to the bastion of peace and prosperity that our own Holy Terran Empire represents, to the...

A horror fic filled with gore and other mind bending emo stuff that you worm people like so much. But in a different way. The initial start may appear to be just a space battle fic. But I assure you that blood will be spilled and intestines ripped out for the glory of the blood god! For now, the...

You’re awoken by the shrill blare of your alarm. Your room stinks of alcohol, which means that your roommate’s been drinking again. You groan and roll out of bed, tapping out the codephrase to your alarm against your wrist. You stumble over your roommate’s bedding in the darkness and bark an...

I'm working on a novel (hopefully to be a series) where the species-collective of arthropod-derived aliens (the Xzul) are inspired and influenced by less commonly known and generally uglier asocial arthropods such as carabid (ground/tiger) beetles, whip scorpions (tailless and tailed), vampire...

In this thread, we'll be designing interesting FTL drives. Some guidelines for drives 1: Each drive should have at least one interesting quirk besides 'go here at X speed' 2: Coming up with a mechanism by which the drive works is optional but encouraged 3: If you make multiple drives, make it...

FTL:Faster than light, Kestel Boogaloo What a clusterfuck this is. Open rebellion in human space, corporate interests claiming independance from the Federation government. Federation traitors mean they've got a core of experienced soldiers and advanced military tech while they bring the rest...

I'm bored, and I don't have any other big projects going at the moment, so I'm going to try running a quest. Please be aware that though this is going to be a rather silly quest, and I'm not going to focus overly much on game mechanics, your actions WILL have consequences...

Signing up now Introduction: This is a combination of an RP and a quest based on new Battlestar Galatica and Freespace 2. Each player controls an officer on board the Carrier Prometheus, at the same time there are votes which everyone votes on to decide approaches to diplomacy and navigation...

Uuuuuuug. You feel like someone tossed you through a wood chipper, and your heads are killing you. CRACK! CRACK! You open your eyes to the sight of panic, as humans in black and white uniforms are trying to fight off insectoid………things. How….......annoying. Normally you would be tempted to...

Londo Star System, a world bristling with life and abundant resources. One of the few places rich in the sought-after Phlebotinum. Under the protection of several treaties the Londonians enjoyed peace and prosperity for decades. United Calendar Year 707, the Stellar Dominion's forces crossed the...

[Theme Music] Space is in turmoil. Fleets engage each other in chaotic battle. A never-ending war for dominance. And you're in the midst of this all... "Ooh Shiny Explosions!" (OSE) is exactly what you think. It's battle RPG focusing solely on space combat. There's no higher objective than the...

As the first season of Aldnoah.Zero comes to a close, and relevant fics begin to pop around the internet, I believe the time is night to start this sort of thread. Please note that this thread is intended as a spoiler-free zone. What is Aldnoah.Zero? Aldnoah.Zero is an anime series set in...

Voyage You slowly awaken in a dimly lit passageway, floating weightless just above the metal deck. Somewhere in the distance you can hear the frightening sound of all too familiar alarm klaxons calling the ship to battle stations. Some sort of action's taking place. That's enough to snap you...

Because I just cannot stop with the quest ideas. This one is mildly inspired by Aldnoah.Zero, but also several other works, like Battlezone, Strike Suit Zero, Dune and Endless Space. It's also going to be equal parts empire-building, fighting and space-politics. Be afraid. *** The force...

Same basic idea as Greendoor's "create a fantasy setting" but for a scifi/space opera setting in the basic style of Star Wars, Mass Effect, Star Trek, etc.
