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?

Cupronickel has some value as a metal for other purposes than coinage, though other metals tend to be better. It would still have a value attached if hard currency was deprecated. |

Nope, Stargate. Stargate, it's a great big world with a great big swirl and you step inside to another world. We're talking Stargate, it's a crazy trip. You can go quite far and you don't need a car or even a ship. There's Col. O'Neill and Carter and Daniel and Teal'c. Look out for that Go Go Go Go Go Go Go Go Go Go Goa'uld.

Change the ancient humans to Eldar and I am fine with it, but human refugees could have been unlucky enough to later settle there thus becoming slaves. The thing is I do not wish to mess with human history too much. How powerful are they on galactic terms? It is indeed Emperor Palpatine (But all emperors are named palpatine in honour of the founder). Similar to how Roman Emperors were often called Caesar in honour of the man. |

Im pretty sure they do, but there isnt a Dalek/Reaper war like in the old AVBG, instead there was the forerunner/Elder or whatever war. Anyway, I was wondering if we could include some of the races from All Tomorrows. Obviously we cant have the destruction of all life and the epic wars ect... but most of the races from the Second Empire fit in pretty good. But, then again, probably not, considering they are all practically human. I dont know, up to you. Maybe the Ancients could have had something to do with it.... |

I wouldn't think they fitted, could you imagine them initiating first contact with another race or shopping on Coruscant? |

I was referring to the fact that they are descended from homo sapiens. All of them. |

Yeah, but that doesn't matter here. It's how they would interact with the other races and that kind of thing. |

Holben- They do. But I shall say no more. Watcher- No sorry, the problem is that they are all descended from humans. I want to try and keep influences on human culture during prehistory down. (Also I am finding that there are a lot of human civilizations) Yes the ancient war was between the Forerunners and the Protheans. THe Eldar were unfortunate enough to be caught in the middle of it, their civilization was shattered. Only the Eldar living on the great craftworlds survived. THe descendants of the planet based Eldar, The Go'auld barely survived and for centuries paved the way for an interstellar dark ages enslaving and exterminating many species. Meanwhile the current batch of races were still developing and growing. Go'auld civilization began to stagnate into dogma and superstition around the same time as the unification of the Covenant. Meanwhile the prawns were another species devastated by the F-P War much of their leaders were killed. Eventually the UNSC would take them in. In other words, the war was massive with entire star systems being destroyed. |

Okay, but I do believe it is possible for Nemos human-aliens to exist in this universe without changing much. Plus I absolutely love their design.... |

Don't get me wrong I love his designs (hence why Snaiad is in here). But the vastness of the Universe would outcompete this one entirely. Notice how much I had to scale down the SW universe? And the 40K one. |

I based it on these, I thought they worked quite well together. http://www.halopedian.com/Human-Forerunner_war http://stargate.wikia.com/wiki/Ancient It does not effect human history all that much. Most Ancient technology was removed, either by the Ancients themselves or the Forerunners. The Goa'uld messed about on earth a very long time ago collecting slaves, then the Stargate got destroyed in a rebellion and the Goa'uld never bothered with it again, while the Goa'uld faded into legend on earth. I don't think the Eldar could easily replace them, they've got totally different technology and don't seem to give a shit about anyone. The Ancients are hypocritical and lazy, and kinda careless with their superweapons but otherwise decent enough. The Goa'uld are a lower tier power, think North Korea. They want to be left alone to fight among themselves and to rule their feudal feifs. And the Goa'uld are not descended from Ancients, let me explain. This is a Goa'uld symbiote. They figured out they could inhabit and control the bodies of the Unas. ![]() And they used the Unas to learn about Ancient technology, using it to discover and conquer Humans, and use them as Hosts. Usually by posing as Gods, though some like Yu don't bother. |
