Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike. With a member base comprising users from across the world, our community is the largest and longest-running place of gathering for speculative biologists on the web.

A Very Busy Galaxy Started out as the ultimate cross over between sci-fi universes. And was an rp for a short amount of time.

Here is an overview of the main powers of the galaxy:

The UNSC

The Citadel Alliance

The Tau Empire

The Covenant

The Sith Empire

There are thousands of other more minor powers in this galaxy which I shall go into if you guys are interested? Any alien species suggestions I will try to include although a wikipedia article would help :) Also would you guys want to restart the rp?

It's possible in reality, so I don't see why not.

If you mean modifying humans, or other sapients then I at least partially established that with the genetic slaves, though dial needs to confirm that. There are dozens of politys, and plenty of dark corners. Someone's doing it.

Holben- I was trying to be biological as Im unsure if all the aliens in this universe breathe in the traditional sense. if figured the facehugger goes for wherever the gas exchange outlets are and blocks them.

T-Rex - Indeed there is, some races do it more than others. The Covenant are entirely against it, The Sith Empire augment their stormtroopers. Tau do it in minor aspects for crops etc. The same attitude is taken by the UNSC (although the spartans could count). Citadel Alliance has laws against modifying sophonts for anything more than allowing them to inhabit a planet. But many still do it anyway.

lamna- Im not quite sure what you mean by genetic slaves? Remember Replicants and Ood tend to fill the roles of slaves really, so the planets population could be rescued Ood and Replicants?

I meant like this. I'm thinking their more of a luxury product for clients who want the "real thing"

Most of the freed slaves would be normal humans taken by the Jackels or Batarians.

Oh and I added an entry for the Democratic Republic of Thrace.

Could be a market for genetic slaves, although I think most would find it abhorrent. Replicants tend to be far better for jobs. Real slaves on the otherhand would definitely make up the populations of this world.

The AVP universe has been stripped down quite a bit. Aliens and Predators have never visited earth, Weyland Yutani although absolutely massive is not an all controlling government corporation. The Colonial Marines are not part of the official UNSC government and are a private military branch of WY. Hence why the use Pulse Rifles and Smart guns instead of the usual armaments of the UNSC troops.

What clone lots of Ripleys? Or create a xenomorph human hybrid? As neither of those happened, I hate the fourth film. The First, Second and Third films were good.

could another group try xeno/humanmorph experimentation? maybe a group unknown because they disappered after something went horribly wrong?

and because i'm thinking of it, in AVP2 the predalien could make more babies without need of facehuggers.

Thats the other thing, xenomorphs cannot reproduce without facehuggers. Predaliens are no exceptions.

If your planning on being a hum/alien hybrid I am going to say no, sorry :( I know it sounds very ignorant but it would invalidate any sense to have such a creature on board the ship.

Sorry if im being a prick

We forgive you. I'm afraid Im going to need to know pretty every detail on the Prawns though before I can start a character.
"You shall perish, whatever you do! If you are taken with arms in your hands, death! If you beg for mercy, death! Whichever way you turn, right, left, back, forward, up, down, death! You are not merely outside the law, you are outside humanity. Neither age nor sex shall save you and yours. You shall die, but first you shall taste the agony of your wife, your sister, your sons and daughters, even those in the cradle! Before your eyes the wounded man shall be taken out of the ambulance and hacked with bayonets or knocked down with the butt end of a rifle. He shall be dragged living by his broken leg or bleeding arm and flung like a suffering, groaning bundle of refuse into the gutter. Death! Death! Death!"

Well it only takes a few and we have the whole Terminus systems to do it in, and the Sith Empire, who may clone some of their troops.

*takes a long drag on his cigarette* Your objections are noted Ripley, but the Scipio Project must continue. Think of the possibilities, 'Umanity needs and edge, an the Xenomorphs just might be it.

In the expanded universe, there are a lot of Xenomorph varieties, including different species, new hybrids, and new castes. There are even "tame" Xenomorphs at one point... If you want to include them, there's a lot of backstory about their homeworld and habits that isn't in the movies.

Im sorry Watcher and Fakey but too many species now, we have reached the Omega point in complexity.

lamna- An Ork and Xenomorph planet is such a horrific concept... I love it! It would be an endless battle for survival except neither species could go extinct. Unless the xenomorphs overran the orks to the point that as soon as a spore mould grows up enough a facehugger immediately jumps in and impregnates. Xenomorphs farming orks...

Anyway it seems someone has already got designs for what some species would look like xenomorphed...
