The Galaxy
2370
Scope
The motivation behind building The Galaxy
I want to create a sci-fi setting on a scale comparable to Star Trek, but modernized. Some things in Star Trek are the way they are because of the limitations of technology at the time the franchise was created. Those limitations were also limited by people's imaginations of possible new technologies. My world will be a Star Trek of a new era.
The goal of the project
I want to create an immersive universe which could be used both to write stories and play RPG.
The Galaxy's Unique Selling point
- Modernized Star Trek
- European-centered Science Fiction
Theme
Genre
Science Fiction - somewhere between soft and hard sci-fi. I try to base technology on real-life science, but I'm not afraid of creating new technologies and introducing technobabble
Reader Experience
I want my readers (and maybe players) to be able to immerse themselves into the world and be amazed by the vision of the future. I would like them to find a place to escape the grimness of modern world.
