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:

I know but the Klendathu drop sequence was undeniably awesome. Whiskey Outpost was just insane. Shame the sequels were so shit.

Those pictures look brilliant!

No was it any good?

Also do you guys like the sound of that sorta gameplay?

The gameplay looks organized, so less likely to fail. I like it I guess.

Starship Troopers: I have only watched the first movie and although it was annoyingly unrealistic, the numbers of soldiers in those pointless charges were really awesome and fun. Though for a sci-fi movie I really want to watch, it would be a film version of Forever War. It would be epic. Apparently Ridely is working on something :D
"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!"

It was, though the dropships look like someone crashed a jet into a shed. Three was ok, though the references to the IRAQnid War were annoying.

Totally different team working on it it seems to have heavy Japanese involvement with a lot of inspiration from the Starship Troopers anime.

It was quite short, and all about the Ultramarines, but yes it was good.

There are lots of potentially great SF films coming out in the next half decade. There should be a Honor Harrington film coming out, and they are making a Old Man's War film too. Throw in Peter Jackson's interest in Temeraire and we've got plenty to look forward to.

Urm you forgot Prometheus? How could one forget that!

What was the film called?

I enjoyed it anyway, nothing like a massed infantry assault... from SPACE.

Because I'm not a huge fan of the Alien franchise. It looks good but, well compared to a Honor Harrington, well only one is making me giddy.

"I'm not a huge fan" is kind of an insult isn't it? That's basically saying "I hate it but am too passive aggressive to say so". I like it, but it's not my favourite SF series.

It's called Ultramarines.

Fair enough, depends on what sort of sci-fi you like. I can't stand time travel, nor can I stand mystical bullshit like the force. I like my sci-fi dark and abhorrent, cosmicism. I can tell your a particular fan of Military Sci-fi?



Anyway, I have been thinking do we want biotics in this rp? Or just keep things to Psykers?

Time travel is hard to do well in a normal science fiction setting, but when it's the focus of the piece it can be fun.

I like stories of courageous and honourable officers (men, women, aliens multi-ton tanks) fighting in fairly hard universes. Honor Harrington, Bolo, Babylon 5, Mass Effect, Halo.

I've never really cared for biotics, but it's an integral part of the Asari.

12 Monkeys was a good film, you seen it?

Well thats what I hoped to aim for, the honourable or not officers attempting to carve a path in a Universe which is on the verge of bursting out into another massive war. And life is pretty shit across the galaxy, especially the worlds you visit in the Terminus.

Fair point, I didn't think of that.

New Race? Tell me what you think.

The Locust:

The Locust are a species of underground dwelling humanoids who can be found across the galaxy in small isolated pockets, it appears there is no contact between the colonies. THe Locust tend to remain hidden in these huge communities for centuries, often hundreds of years after a colony has been established by another species on the surface. They have advanced technology which seems to cloak their existence to planetary scanners and live inhabit deep tunnel systems which have been carved out of the planet by them thousands of years ago. They are led by a queen figure who has never been glimpsed by anyone outside of the Locust. Technologically they are inferior most nations in the galaxy seeing as the use very ancient projectile weapons, have no spacecraft and make use of organisms present in the troglydytic ecosystems which they cultivate. Still the mighty brumaks can still match a few scorpion tanks and are thus a worthy foe. The first official meeting between humans and locust was during the Sera incident, where after the wealthy and prosperous UNSC colony of Sera became isolated by a warp storm for 150 years the Locust took advantage of this by bursting out from underground in what came to be known as E-Day. When the warp storm ended UNSC fleets were shocked to find that the once bountiful planet was now a scorched warzone as the human colonists of Sera had tried every possible step to ensure their survival. The near extinct colonists welcomed the fleets with open arms as marines began exterminating the Locust. Multiple attempts at peace had been tried but the Locust rejected all offers for unknown reasons. After this many colonies began investigations into the underground regions of worlds. Nearly 1 in 20 planets held a locust colony in the UNSC, the figures for other civilizations is unknown. Thus the UNSC began a war of extermination to eradicate the colonies, a war which is still ongoing. Specialist branches of marines known as Diggers were trained to fight the Locust. Although the Locust are not much of a threat versus a fully equipped UNSC task force they often emerge unexpectedly and catch them offguard, the Locust's motives are unknown but they are known to harvest prisoners. They seem to always attempt to exterminate all sentients from the surface but never colonise it themselves.
