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.

Yay, Russwallac! Prawn friendship go! Yellow, whats the pink furry thing next to the navi?
"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!"

Star Trek is still very optimistic. Watch some early TNG, it's sickening. dial should try some Deep Space 9, but he's right to exclude it if he wishes. Plus holographic/transporter/replicator technology would not fit in well. I don't like them very much myself, teleportation's always been a bit creepy for me, and what's the point of farms and mines if you can just make stuff out of hydrogen?

The universe seems big, but compared to our world of 200+ nations, it's rather simple.

Also I'm bored so I'm mapping the Moon my character comes from. Are there any species that got conquered and enslaved, preferably by the Batarians? I want a few of them to have escaped and been given land so their nation can continue to exist and they can work towards liberation. A bit like when we gave over a house to Yugoslavia in WWII so Queen Alexandra could give birth to the heir on Yugoslav soil.

Are the Narn too human to be in this world? I assume not, given we have Asari.

It's an andalite. Females are usually described as having violet fur and both genders are mentioned as having tan or cream undersides sometimes so she's violet-and-cream. Atavanxia is her name, and being a mess of PTSD nerves is her game.

Andalites, being very...haugty (or elitist, as some would say) are a kind, friendly species but that doesn't mean they're nice. Andalites have a long history of scorning their disabled, and she has the misfortune of being seen as such. So she's a pilot, these days.

http://lackofa.deviantart.com/art/I-bring-you-a-song-201442867 I just wish I could draw andalites as beautiful as this artist does. PLEASE do check out her gallery for ADORABLE ANDALITE BABIES.

lamna- You are right about Star Trek, its too soft a sci-fi for this setting. Vulcans and the like would not stand a chance against krogans, elites and tyranids. Plus wayyyy to many humans with funny ears or foreheads. But if you can fit the Narn into this lamna I will accept them.

T-rex - Here is the current list of cannon:
The Alien vs Predator Universe
Mass Effect Universe
Halo Universe
Star Wars Universe
Warhammer 40k Universe (Chaos is absent though)
Half Life Universe
Starship Troopers Universe
Smaller parts from these universes:
Darwin VI, Snaiad, Blade Runner, Terminator, Command and Conquer, District 9, Resident Evil, Soylent Green, Starcraft. (Please note this list will be expanding)

You mean Aliens v.s. Predators v.s. Terminators universe. There was a comic where all three clashed, so logically they are all the same universe, no matter how bad the AVP movies were.

Half Life implies Portal is included too, as both are from the same universe.

Also, wondering if Fallout Equestria could be added. Before you say its bright and cheery, note that I'm too terrified to read it, because I've heard rumors about people getting nightmares from reading it. I heard that in one of the endings, the main character gets no closure, she just gets ripped limb from limb and raped. Not very light.

No, this is not so I can play a Hooved Xenomorph.

The Narn are pretty good, as "makeup" aliens go. I'll write up a Bio if you're interested.

And the Vulcans would do better than humans, they are about three times stronger than a human.

What of doctor who? We simply must have that.

And portal, pretty please?

Yes, Darwin VI!

Should I be worried that I don’t know much about some of these universes?

You could also pick and choose parts of settings without incorpoerating the whole of the setting. We've got wookiees and jedi, but no Twi'leks.

Yes I was planning on using many of the star wars aliens, but only the less human ones such as the Mon Calamari and the wookies. Oh yes I forgot about the Helghan from Killzone Universe.

Fakey- No. No My Little Pony. But Fallout could be interesting, I shall look into what I can loot from there :)

T-rex- Portal has the construction of instant portals, thus invalidating space travel really. But I shall include a little nod for Glados who is simply brilliant.

portals arn't really a good means of space travel, as the end of the second game shows.

but even if you don't use the portal gun, you can use the turrets, or the cores, or the gels.
