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 new faction, and a new world.

A thousand years ago, Nirrti was a minor Goa'uld system lord, slowly depopulating her tiny domain with her brutal genetic experiments. This all changed when a new asteroid appeared in one of her systems, this asteroid was a fortress-monastery of the Ultramarines. The Ultramarines are super soldiers who travelled back in time tens of thousands of years.

The Ultramarines are secretive, but it seems they have come from an alternate (or averted) future, in which the UNSC defeated the Covenant, exterminated them and went on to conquer the Sith Empire and the Citadel Alliance. They paint a nightmarish picture of the future, with all humanity united in a brutal xenophobic dictatorship, constantly under siege from alien and "demonic" forces.

Nirrti panicked and attempted to destroy the fortress, but her meagre forces were easily crushed by the Ultramarines and her worlds liberated. The Ultramarines were then faced with dilemma. They did not have the numbers to take on the entire Goa'uld Empire, with only a thousand Ultramarines and two warships, the Emperor had not yet been born and it looked increasingly likely that he never would be. So the Ultramarines made peace with the rest of the Goa'uld (who were glad to be rid of Nirrti) and have been waiting, searching for a purpose ever since, steadily growing stronger.

They have renamed Nirrti's domain the Ultramar and the the planet their fortress came to orbit around, Macragge. Though their technology is advanced, it seems they don't understand much of it, with a great deal of knowledge being lost in the era they came from.

I was going to have the Ultramarines as this, since I do not like time travel:

During the very early days of humanities space race a number of generation ships were simply sent to outer space, one such ship contained a number of evangelicals of some strange cult. They settled on the harsh mountainous world of Macragge and developed isolated from the UNSC for centuries they conquered the nearby worlds and ran a feudal system like government. Their military is strange because they use a very ancient prototype of spartan armour which is much more bulky and lacks shield capabilities, but makes up for it in power and protection. This is the basic equipment of the Space Marine class super soldiers, men who could easily slaughter the more lightly built and less modified Spartans. Although their space ships are far less advanced and their technological development has stagnated due to the emergence of a machine worshipping cult. They are massively xenophobic and have scorched entire worlds of alien races, they are possibly even more brutal than the Sith Empire. Most notably they have fought off nearly anybody who has tried to enter their empire, which at the moment seems to be aggressively spilling over into the Terminus, Covenant and Citadel spaces. In fact the only thing which is keeping them from conquering a much larger space is the constant ork and tyranid hordes which beset them. Many theorise that the UNSC and the FPA support the Ultramar due to the fact that they keep the hordes in check.


Tyranids: Of all the infectious races to inhabit the galaxy none is more terrifying and mysterious. Nobody really knows where they have come from. Although they definitely aren't originally from the Milky Way, they appear in huge warp storms and burst out and strip nearby worlds of everything. Nearly all governments attempt to keep the existence of the tyranids as classified and instead attribute the attacks to the less dangerous zerg, although this is becoming increasingly difficult. Since Tyranid burstings are actually occuring outside of the Terminus Systems. They are ruled by a being known as the Hive Mind (the term being is subjective), which is incredibly intelligent and posseses a cunning by which we have never seen. Most military strategists predict that eventually the whole galaxy will succumb to the Tyranids, we cannot stop the tide of tooth and tendrils, we can only slow it down.

I like your ultramarines better
"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 if we combine it with AVBG, then it'd be about the same as going into Rights' version of it.

Dont ask. Point a shotgun at them.

EDIT: Maybe I should put something worthwhile here. Ok firstly, I had an idea, while we're building the universe, why don't we have some Mass Effect style conversation options so we can get to know each others characters like you get to know they guys in the game? You know, like how you can ask Garrus why he left C-Sec, Liara how that hybrid thing works, Tali about her pilgrimage, Wrex. Shepard.

Also, wouldn't it be cool if they made a serious Starship Troopers movie with power armour more like in the novels? WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW MORE?

Gameplay is going to be very much like mass effect, you will need to find things out by talking to locals etc. Find out whats going on. Although decisions will be made by the ship council (all of you guys plus the captain) which decides the major decisions... (theres going to be REAL moral dilemmas). The captain will be the one who largely sets the pace, this will be a sort of on rails rp although you can make up side missions for your characters which the captain will be all to happy to side track for. Just PM for that with an outline of what it is.

I really enjoyed the first starship troopers film because it showed awesome mass infantry assaults, closest we have got to seeing the imperial guard on cinema. Although a remake would still be awesome.

Well, the assaults in the film were pretty stupid. No artillery, armoured or air support. The MI has some really shitty moral too, they broke on Klendathu after about five minutes. Whisky Outpost was undeniably cool though.

It's not a remake, but a sequel and it's looking rather good.

Have you seen the Warhammer 40,000 film that came out a couple of years ago?
