Bifrost Galactic System
Scope
The motivation behind building Bifrost Galactic System
We are building an expansive Space Opera galaxy with various factions and a huge collection of planets and locations for exploration.
The goal of the project
We're hoping to actually create and finish an extremely complex and expansive world.
Bifrost Galactic System's Unique Selling point
It's truly the travel technology, and the bredth of the world. We have dozens of star systems and planets, each with their own flavors and politics.
Theme
Genre
This world is a space opera, with both utopian and dystopian elements depending upon individual character's perspectives.
Reader Experience
This world feels vast and cold, with corporations and organizations reaching far out into the universe.
Reader Tone
If you're fortunate enough to be wealthy or highly skilled, this world is very bright. If you're poor or a spacer, this world is extremely dark.
Recurring Themes
1. Vast galactic empire with little ability to communicate across that distance.
2. Urban worlders live in lavish comfort, while laborers work and toil until they die.
3. Corruption is rampant. A necessary price for such a large civilization.
Character Agency
A character in this world has very limited agency. There are trillions of people in this galaxy, and travel between any two worlds can take days or even weeks. A character's impact is generally localized.
Focus
Drama
Humanity nearly lost it's foothold in the early decades of colonization. It lead to a war that ended in the total genocide of the agressing species.
