| 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.

Created to fight the Goa'uld, but by whom? The Goa'uld are careful in picking their foes, and generally prefer them to have not figured out how stirrups and iron smelting works, let alone the ability to create the perfect predator. |

Okay, so why would xenomorphs be created? Or are they natural but happened to be spread across the galaxy. Kinda like rats on ships. |

I've always seem them as biological cobalt bombs, a way to wipe out a population and leave the area uninhabitable for thousands of years. The Goa'uld might be able to survive an infestation. They wrap themselves around the spine while chestbursters live in the torso. The Goa'uld could abandon it's host, or leave after it is killed.

Ah okay, also they make a pretty good psychological weapon as well. I think it would be best if their origins are largely unknown. Although it seems they always originate from where space jockeys once were. Nowadays they tend to hide in the underbellies of starships waiting to slip out onto whichever planet it lands on and consume and propagate the next hive. |

That, and their are occasional infested planets that are generally regarded universally off limits, the Covenant and the Sanghelios probably have standing orders to glass any planet contaminated by them.

I was thinking of world designations. For example Infestation worlds are planets which have been infested with organisms which are Omnidevourers such as xenomorphs, Flood, Zerg, Tyranids. These worlds could even have one or more of these 'species' battling for control. Most civilizations will simply eradicate all life from the planet, unless the planet really is worth taking back. (Another reason it sucks to be Covenant, they cannot glass forerunner ruins when infested and thus have to clear them out). The only species known to tolerate such planets are the Yautja who find the ultimate sport there (unless its flood, the planet is then destroyed like other species) |

That sounds good, I suspect that the Covenant simply blockade Forerunner worlds they can't clear out in a ground war. Perhaps that could be a task assigned to those who fail, but don't warrant execution being being made arbiters. That way you have "easy" access to eggs for W-Y Cerberus, etc. I don't think you need to bother going into depth with the High Age stuff. Part of the fun of Sci Fi with precursors is trying to work it out with very little to go on. I remember when people were wondering if a symbol in a panel of halo was supposed to be a Forerunner hand or a Universal hand symbol, and how pissed I was that From Ashes just had a big picture of Javiks face plastered all over it.

Yeah I like that idea of sub level arbiters. Okay then noted You will find out little things throughout the rp from the Dark Ages though, they earn their name.

More like this than proper Arbiters. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ReassignedToAntarctica I've just started another full Mass Effect playthough to get in the right mindset, and I was thinking about using an M-8 Avenger throughout so I don't notice when the animation replaces it with the gun you are actually using, and that got me thinking about Zaeed. Have you heard the Jessie song? You probably have, but it would be a crime not to share it if you hadn't. |

Indeed I have heard the song ![]() I like that but I think a guarantee of infection is a pretty horrific punishment. Perhaps it should be for those without rank, since to become an arbiter you need to be sorta important. I would like players to start submitting interesting worlds and stuff I generally want to see what you guys want to see.

What I meant is that they command warships in orbit that stop anyone landing or taking off. Worlds huh? I've only really been thinking about Dresden and Beacon, Beckett's homeworld. |

Oh okay then, Im sure though that part of their job must also be to jump down with penal workers to search for artefacts as well? They could run a lottery of which unlucky bastards have to go down there. I guess it would be kinda like the Wall from Game of Thrones. |
