So here's an open discussion to staff and contributors for brainstorming story ideas.
Here are my ideas:
-An age of promise, an age of new beginnings. A small discovery team will set out to find an ancient planet said to casket a once lost empire, a golden age long gone. However, it is fiercely guarded by antiquated robots. A war breaks out within the local star systems and key stations linked to this planet. A galaxy of new races, unfamiliar with interstellar warfare, must try to reclaim this lost planet, which holds the promise of a new and glorious empire.
-As the galaxy opens up to new people and ideas, there are those that take advantage and terrorize the weak network of connections and alliances. No protection of freight trade, no regulation of nefarious tolls to use wormholes. Rampant piracy and bullying, the galaxy seeks to give power to bring justice to the lawless. The empire is born.
-After many years of fair rule of the new empire, now with a strong military fleet to protect the innocent, a high councilman rises to power, promising to finally rid the galaxy of pirates, the mafia, and robot forces still terrorizing various star systems. A band of highly celebrated bounty hunters and soldiers are set out on missions to finally defeat them. However, as the councilman seeks absolute power, he is overtaken by a rogue AI and transfigured into a menacing foe. The heroes go into exile as the once glorious empire falls victim to the dark councilman's overwhelming new power.
-With nearly all the galaxy enslaved to the dark concilman's new empire (a combination of a rogue computer AI hive mind, the combine from HL2, and the Empire from Star Wars) members will initially be under their oppression, which involve genocides, conducting cruel experiments, and destroying entire natural ecosystems in furthering their technology and supremacy. The community will take part in forming a rebellion in the fall of a dark and mighty empire.
-With a large power vacuum left behind in the wake of the dark empire's fall, two opposing factions will dispute over who will govern the galaxy. War breaks out as they compete in acquiring many of the empire's former assets. Members can choose either alliance. One side geared toward the arts, fair trade, interfaith, the environment, and socialism. The other geared toward science, industrialism, capitalism, military power, and liberalism.
-A druid race awakens a menacing transdimensional being of great power. That being seeks to drain the galaxy of all it's matter, after which it slumbers only to reawaken and devour another. How can mere mortal beings stand up to such a foe? Only a dormant power within the galactic core can give the answer.
Any changes, additions, and suggestions are up for discussion.
