It seems that Malcadon's thread: http://www.starfrontiers.us/node/7758#comment-32418<br />is being hi-jacked into a major disccussion on the setting background<br /><br />much of it focuses on dealing with the homeworlds and justification for being out of contact.<br /><br />Idead keep surfacing at the edges of my mind for adventure hooks involving them thus the reason for a new thread rather than hi jack that one further.<br /><br />So far in fan cannon these ideas have been floated:<br /><br />Yazirians<br />1. yazirians are religious dissenter fleeing their homeworld much like Pilgrims on the Mayflower, (do yazirians celebrate Thanksgiving with stuffed wyvole?)<br />2. Star Exodus to save their civilization from destruction by a wandering brown dwarf that looked to destroy their homeworld. this option eliminates the homeworld altogether which might be a good thing with such an aggressive race. There is potential to go back and see whats left: frozen, airless, lifeless planet? are there still yazirians living underground in sealed vaults like morlocks?<br /><br />Humanity<br />1. most of the fan offering I've seen go the route of gamma dawn/gamma world- home world is destroyed somehow and is now a post apocalyptic setting.<br />2. its still there and with great effort Frontier citizens can visit but Asimov's laws of Robotics are in place there and there is great potential for PCs to accidently violate these laws with their robots when one of their robots actually harms a human- <br />3. I like leaving it a mystery as to what happened to it- which is simple and allows you to do anything you want with it at a latter date.<br /><br />Vrusk & Dralasites<br />Not much out there that I'm aware of involving them. I wrote Terledrom as the vrusk homeworld in my timeline and the dralasite homeworld as lost to the dralasites in my timeline article. I like iggy's corporate facist state of the vrusk home world causing some trade houses to immigrate to the Frontier while the corporate facists say good riddence to small irritations in their quest for total control. That is not to say that as things mature in the Frontier that the Corporate Facist wond come calling and reconsider writing off the Frontier as not worth the trouble to develop. They could declare that all vrusk colonies belong to them and assert control and ownership of them. this could lead to a "Hive War" with lots of KHs action.<br /><br />As for dralasites-?
