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:

The UNSC

The Tau Empire

The Covenant

The Sith Empire

There are thousands of other more minor powers in this galaxy which I shall go into if you guys are interested? Any alien species suggestions I will try to include although a wikipedia article would help :) Also would you guys want to restart the rp?

Hey, I just found some more information on Prawns (on TVTropes of all places): Prawns, as it turns out, may have a more complex caste system than originally thought, and are color-coded. Reds are soldiers, greens are leaders, yellows/browns are workers, and blues are something else. :P

I do give thumbs up to Ben 10 for portraying aliens as more than blue cat people, but the aliens are always baddies. ALWAYS.
"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!"

Except when they're not... Which is actually a lot of the time.

Exotic dancers/Plumbers.

Lots of different gravities, the character I intend on using comes from a very large moon with a gravity of 1.28 G and is partly descended from genetically modified heavy labour slaves, so worlds with strong gravity are no problem.

I'd like to recapture the feel of the first Mass Effect. Lots of worlds, few are habitable, even fewer are nice places.

"Habitable" and "nice" are relative terms... If you're a chlorine-breathing alien from a planet orbiting a red dwarf, Earth is a toxic, unbearably bright hellhole.

Wait, were all from the same race and stock?

Her wrist, actually. Doua'dat is a female, hence why I based her off the Berserker PRedator design :3 In AVBG I decided that the Berserker Preds were going to be the females. All that stuff they saw in Predators? ELABORATE MATING RIGHTS RITUAL.

She uses a wristblade, though, since that's what her mother trained her in since she was a child. Plus, she's gotta keep hold of her culture, somehow, since she's no longer a part of the Yatuja culture. http://averybusygalaxy.wikidot.com/yautja

And yes, she /is/ a Jedi Knight. :3 Which is also why she spends most of her time stuck on planets and stations because nobody wants to A- Transport a Jedi or B- "Holy sh*t is that a Yautja uh UHHH I DON'T WANT IT ON MY SHIP I THOUGHT THEY WERE A MYTH"

Also, my other two characters.

Watcher- Noooo, you can be any race you please from the Universe as long as it makes sense as to why they got chosen. Each character has a job on the ship which you choose. I will control the captain although you guys will have a major part to play in decision making. Generally its going to be in the style of mass effect gameplay.

lamna- Don't worry, I am not just going to have generic desert planet after another. Each world will be fleshed out into the avbg universe. There is going to be a mixture of both fiction based worlds and worlds which you pm me for. When in gameplay if there is somewhere you want to go just tell the captain, this will be a similar thing to mass effect loyalty missions.

yellow- That is awesome! And I like the idea of a Yautja breeding ritual, adds a bit more depth to them. In this avbg Yautja are just strange bastards who stick to fingers up at all the other races and simply hunt them for shits and giggles.

No, you don't necessarily have to be from New Singapore, but you have to be there at the start thats all. It acts as a meeting place. Or if you mean we all have to go on the same missions together then no you don't, it just makes my life harder ;)

Oh you've just reminded me, I've just commissioned a picture of my character. You need to get in on that Yellow, before I start spending my money on sensible things.

Awkward looking Andalite. :lol:

dial controlling the captain makes a lot of sense. A good way to be a DM without intruding too much.

Ok, I could see why one would say that about Ben 10, although I could make a counter argument for it, but star trek? Have you seen the Borg?

Yellow stole my idea! Pout!

By god I have so many questions to ask, this universe is so big I can’t keep track of it all. First I will ask this, can we have a simple list somewhere of what is canon here so we can keep track?
F.I.N.D.R Field Incident Logs
A comprehensive list of all organisms, artifacts, and alternative worlds encountered by the foundation team.

At the present time, concepts within are inconsistent and ever shifting.

(And this is just the spec related stuff)

Well, my Yautja ALSO do that, but they've got their reasons. I do so want to have Doua'dat explain the whole mating rights thing, though. "The closest thing Yautja have to 'love' is 'respect', and if a male is clever enough to hunt you down and break your legs then you have a lot of respect for him." "Stop sounding so pleased when you mention breaking limbs." "You have your foreplay, we have ours."
