Pathogens are a huge plot hole for all alien interaction in general, we simply assume that alien germs don’t affect life originating elsewhere, as it’d have completely different bases of operation
That’s not true. 30 trillion Mandi died around 61 BBT due to a foreign sickness.
We just pretend it doesn’t happen unless we want it to
I’d like to get back on topic with regards to the extra-canon roleplay
it’s too late
the entire canon is dead
the virus mutated… Covid ABT-01 wiped out 100% of Sector A1-0. RIP
Nah, the Jellies survived
no they found the black hole bomb stashed in the basement
Hint: Naked Singularity + Spacetime do not mix
This is a PG-13 canon! No naked singularities allowed!
Ooh, sorry…
Allow me to rephrase:
Singularity without event horizon
Something I’ve had the idea to do is to make an extra canon where we re-imagine our nations
Specifically, even if I’m the only one who does it, I eventually want to have an extra-canon where A1-0 is a sci-fi horror canon. Space would function more like the deep sea, there’d be less stars and planets would be far more hostile. There’d also be giant lovecraftian monsters swimming through space.
Colonus would be reimagined as the decaying remains of a failed (1 species) empire comprised of maggots (and whatever they metamorphise into)
So basically “here’s how we reimagined the canon, try to reimagine your nation in that style/tone”
Galactya could be a dystopian genetic technocracy (idea from the courtesy of @Of_the_Ages )
While I like the idea, you might want to make a separate topic for this. This is for the Extra-canon event specifically defined in the first post.
I know, just figured I’d post it here to get people talking again
Colestia could be a corrupt state-fixated mix between an orwellian distopia and the USSR, where the life of the individual is considered meaningless and the state is what must prevail, many living miseribly and lacking basic resources
I think, to get a gauge on what people want, I will put out a poll, since there have been no other discussions on that front.
- Nation
- Ai Or Hive mind crusade
- Interdimensional force
- None of the above
(I will make another poll when I am confident that all community members have posted, assuming that none of these get a 50% majority)
Apparently a lot of the idea’s I’ve had are now similar with some of your extra canon topics
The Great Purge shall cleanse the sector
