If you are into military Sci-Fi, I can recommend Space: Above and Beyond. Its a late 90s TV show, about humanitys first contact and war, with aliens. The main protagonists are a group of young spacemariens/fighter pilots (yes, they are both in the show) thrown into combat. The special effects no lon...

@Arioch:
Wonderfull page!

Will Highland-7 always get the shitty end of the stick?

My 2 cents:
-They will either be under attack and got hit.
-Or Clearbrook will kick the bucket.

The group that deep-jumped into Leido (to ~1AU from the star) is probably meant to surround SG51

How could they have know that, I wonder...

My best guess is that it has something to do with the resolution or detection level of farsensing. Maybe the Umiak were able to reduce the crews to such an extend, that the Loroi can no longer detect them over large distances. But I guess we need more informations about farsensing and farseers in ge...

No, the Highland is not jump capable. The shuttle is not going to Seren itself, but instead transferring the party to a ship that will take them.

Could the Loroi build a jump capable version of the Highland or would that not be usefull in any way?

What?! Three updates at once? Has christmas come early this year?
Anyway, what Alex feels on page 115 (or what he feels not) is very interesting and yes, Beryl looks rather annoyed on that page.

Earth's radio signals may be protecting it from space radiation: Link

Interessting, but short article about the Van Allen Belt and its (possible) interaction with radio signals from earth.

There's no direct equivalent to India's "untouchables." The civilians are in general an underclass, but not to that degree. I didn't mean the civilians in general, but maybe there is some kind of civilian caste that most other Loroi try to avoid? Can Loroi be cast out of their caste, as some form o...

After reading a bit about the Indian caste system I wonder: are there any Loroi that are not in a military or civilian caste and what is their stand in Loroi society? Is there something like an "untouchable" caste in Loroi society, like the Indian "Paria" or "Harijan"?

Happy new year! Frohes neues Jahr!

That Elerian picture looks like it was taken from the SciFi version of a Wagner opera.

@dragoongfa: I would rather compare Loroi males and their place in society to children (as Arioch did sometimes). The are protected and every Loroi females is expected to take care of them or at least look after them. A Loroi male standing on a spaceport and wanting to buy a ticket to human space is...

Hi Guys! Not really sure I should write a few things here, as I am not interested in playing in this RP (no time at the moment). But there are some things I would like to add on the whole "male Loroi as a playercharacter" discussion: Pro's: 1.) Such a character would be interesting, as they are curr...

In the town I live in, there was a Döner Kebab snack bar that sold those things for 1,50€ each. I always wondered what kind of meat they used and why it closed so suddenly...

I just read an article about this study in German and thought it might be of interest: Link

Its about the effects of cosmic radiation on neurons, memories and the brain of mammals. A very uncomfortable read or in other words: I wouldn't book a trip to Mars just yet.

Fear not, I am working on a new chapter, just don't have much time for writing at the moment. Sorry for that.

How are things going, Arioch and are you still open for (simple) commissions?

@Icekatze There were undoubtedly bad years, but never so bad that people stopped farming. It is known from research on neolithic human bones, that the human lifespan in that time periode was significantly shorter than before. The reasons among others were diseases, malnutrition and parasites. So not...

The oldest agricultural cultures dated for roughly 8-10k years ago, the first domestication of animals, too, about this period + - 1000 years. Which is precisely what icekatze wrote. The oldest crop domesticated was afaik lentils, but archaeologists are unsure if the earliest found ones (13000-1000...
