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.

Any link on the rp? Im now gonna check out Agathas wiki...
"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!"

This new Rp would be hosted here, the main difference in rp being mine revolves around a fractured torn galaxy while most races are united under the Citadel in Yellowdrakes? Is that correct? :)

What does NSFW stand for by the way?

Yeah. Although the major, I guess you could call them "over-arching" plots in mine are a couplefold.

One: The conflict between Citadel and other groups. Citadel is, comparatively, much more open and friendly to new species than most so there's a lot of bad blood generated through xenophobia of other groups. Similarly, there's a lot of distrust with groups that either don't "pick sides" or are otherwise neutral- the Jedi, Andalites, Yautja...
Now, mind you, this doesn't mean the galaxy is fractured at all. It's just composed of many, many groups, some of whom don't get along and some of whom do- it's more about political intrigue and making deals rather than "uniting the galaxy".

Two: The RP takes place in the aftermath of the Reaper-Dalek war. TL:DR Daleks were cruisin' into the galaxy and bumped into the Reapers and now /neither/ group is an immediate threat, but the galaxy is still on high alert because /oh no either of those groups could recover or potentially have backup on the way/ any time. So that's a big thing, figuring out why and how and if either group's gonna come back with the actual force to take on the rest of the galaxy.

Three: There's a minor thing involving the prevelance of....lets call them "infectious" or "hive" species, in the galaxy. The sheer amount of species that seem to be designed solely to spread and grow is unnerving, between the Flood, Rachni, Xenomorphs, so on so forth. We're still playing with that idea. Also ties in with how one of the "groups" I was working with for RPs were basically scavengers, searching for scrap and refuse on abandoned ships and abandoned colonies and these all posed severe dangers when somebody went missing.

And Four: Cerberus is partially funded by and an associate company of Weyland-Yutani GOODNIGHT, FOLKS.

Dalek-Reaper War? That sounds rather messy.

We have no beginning. We have no end. We are infinite. Millions of years after your civilization has been eradicated and forgotten, we will endure.

NO. YOUR CONTINUED EXISTENCE DEPENDED ON ONE FACT.

Which fact would be, dust?

THAT WE WERE NOT AWARE THAT YOU EXISTED. LAUNCH MISSILES! DALEKS CONQUER AND DESTROY!

Exactly. It was a massive, lets call it a "clusterbang". And the Daleks didn't even get Time Travel in this. Although it was implied there were /more/ Daleks on the way, making the trek between galaxies, and that the Reapers were repairing and reorganizing, licking their wounds.

Right now I am going to talk about the Terminus Systems. A sector of lawless and ungoverned space which spans across a third of the galaxy.

Species of the Terminus Systems:

Krogan:
Krogans are a brutal species hailing from the world Tuchunka, initally it seemed they were doomed after their species initiated a nuclear holocaust when they somehow split the atom; but Salarian Scientists discovered them and helped uplift them to help fight in the war against the Covenant. After their upliftment scientists were horrified how quickly the Krogans were reproducing and spreading across the galaxy, thus the genophage was created to slow their growth. Now the Krogans are a species verging on extinction, with Tuchunka as their last stronghold. Many old battle hardened Krogans can be found across the galaxy working for various mercenary companies even the infamous human BlackWater.

Orks
If there were ever a species to exceed the Krogans bloodlust it would be the orks. Their origins are currently unknown but some say they were created by the forerunners during the Prothean-Forerunner War which lead to the extinction of both species. Orks have little concept of ownership and see that if they can take something then it is rightfully theirs. Thus they constantly land on already settled planets and begin taking any resources and plunder any settlements. They are a menace across the galaxy but by the time of play, the orks have been pushed back into the Terminus systems. Although constant raids by the nearby Sith Empire are required to cull their numbers. Many worlds bear the scars of orbital bombardment as Imperial Fleets or Covenant Navies have attempted to eradicate ork settlements.

Jackals
Jackals, the spaceborn somalian pirates. Jackals are a vicious and conniving species which was once a member of the Covenant but quickly left in droves after the Covenant lost the War. In retaliation for this act the prophets glassed the homeworld of the Jackals and the remainder of their population fled into the Terminus. There they quickly filled the role of pirates rather aptly often joining the crews of other species. Although many Jackals are being permitted to live among Citadel species as their talents in sharpshooting have not gone unnoticed.

Yautja
Known by humans as Predators, these fierce and noble warriors hail from the world Yautja Prime. A world located in the deep in the heart of the Terminus. Predators are a highly advanced species whose culture seems to rival the Protheans and Forerunners in terms of age, one of their single ships could take on a fleet of Tau battleships and win. Although they are not interested in war nor any galactic affairs whatsoever. Instead they simply seek the hunt, often landing on worlds and hunting down anything they deem as worthy. Be it a Krogan Warlord, Xenomorph Queen, Tau Ethereal etc. Most races do not even bother trying to persue the Predators due to their advanced cloaking technologies and the fact that they always wait to ambush their persuers. Predators do not understand the concept of boundaries and even have broken on to the Citadel and murdered an Asari Matriarch.

Quarians
Another species fleeing from a devastated homeworld, the quarians once were a member of the Citadel Alliance until they created the geth. Sentient machines which rebelled against their overlords. The Geth pushed the Quarians into the Terminus Systems, now with Rannoch deep inside the Geth Quarantine zone the Quarians were forced into exile. After trying to settle on many worlds each colony resulted in thousands of death from Ork raiders, Flood outbreak and other nightmares. Eventually the Quarians were forced to take a radical options thus the migrant fleet was born. Now the Quarians travel across the Systems searching for resources while fighting off pirates and alien infestations.

It seems like getting the Krogan fighting the Orcs would be a good idea. It would take a very long time, but the Krogan would win. Any world with Orcs on it is contaminated and will always have Orcs. The Krogan can beat most Orcs in a a fight, they understand the basic concepts of "aiming" and "ammunition" and even the dullest is smarter than the vast majority of Orcs.

It's the match made in Heaven, the Krogan get their numbers checked while being useful to the galaxy and getting some living space.
