  1. Lovely hull design.
  2. Outside of Manhattan, Spiderman would need some form of transport to get around. With nothing to swing on he's pretty slow.
  3. I have began instead to expand the lore and stuff here: https://tenorpenny.wordpress.com/
  4. Galactic Powers Humans The human race, known throughout the rest of the galaxy as Earthlings, are one of the younger entrants into galactic politics. Humankind has no unity government or organisation, remaining arranged in the territorial blocks of the 20th and 21st centuries, including the United States, Great Britain and the European Union as well as new alliances like the Pan-Asian Coalition. Additionally there are several MegaCorporations big enough to have an effect on all matters human. Technologically humans are relative jacks-of-all-trades: good all round performance without specific or unique advancements to their names. The handful of solar systems around and including Sol are classed as the ‘Core Worlds’ and are advanced and sate environments. Humankind historically left an overcrowded Earth in droves and colonised further afield, in what are named the ‘Rimward Territories’. These are less lawful and organised but full of opportunity, much like the Wild West of times gone by. Militarily, the humans field a mix of fighter craft and capital ships. Although their total military strength is significant, it is victim of the divisions within humankind. Although direct clashes between military organisations within humankind are rare (e.g. the 2114 PAC/EU Colony Wars) co-operation is equally rare. The recent loss of several mining colonies to the Wun’Tux has led to the provisional setting up of the Solar Border Force (SBF), a military cooperative between the British and American navies to protect the far-flung arms of humankind. The Oroso The Oroso are a species of hirsute, bipedal humanoids, evolved on an ice planet far from it’s sun. They discovered FTL travel 50 years before humans and - unlike the Earthlings - formed a unified government and expanded into nearby planetary systems. By the time the human race started to colonise further from the Galactic Core, the Oroso already held significant territories nearby. Although encounters with aliens like the Wun’Tux gave human colonists itchy trigger fingers, first encounters with the Oroso were guarded but civil. Although their 50 year head start meant the aliens had most of the major ore deposits and other such resources, the Oroso prefer colder climates - leaving room for human colonists to settle in close proximity. Aside from isolated skirmishes with the more militant European Union colonists, the Oroso remain neutral to their nearest neighbours. Like humans, the Oroso are viewed as inferior beings by the reptilian Wun’Tux and often find themselves abducted as slaves. They reproduce in litters, each ‘birth’ comprising of three to four young. These young Oroso are raised away from their parents in a ‘nursery’, special settlements ran by both male and female elders. These nurseries press upon the young the importance of serving their society and prepare them for life ahead. Their society is something akin to a democratic feudalism, well organised and structured. New colonies are integrated into the ruling ‘Combine’ which acts as a civilian and military body both. The Oroso military is comparable to that of most developed species’. Well disciplined and tactically adroit. Their naval commanders prefer to utilise turrets over forward firing cannons and tactics over brute force. Oroso Citizens by TenorPenny, on Flickr J'nai'tk-class Light Cruiser by TenorPenny, on Flickr The Wun'Tux The reptilian Wun'Tux hale from a string of arid planets in the 'South' of the Galactic Core. With females of the species producing large litters of young, the species is naturally matriarchal. 'Brood Mothers' hold the power over various 'tribes', some laden with history and prestige alongside new tribes, hungry for success. They discovered Faster-Than-Light travel twenty years before humankind. Their often fragmented society led to intense competition between tribes for new worlds, resources and respect. This competition led to unprecedented leaps in technology and territory and made the Wun'Tux a major galactic player. Their shared belief that every other species is inferior to themselves, the Wun'Tux have the rare accolade of being the only species to be universally disliked and without allies. They exercise this belief by waging war on several fronts, taking prisoners and survivors as slaves to the Wun'Tux cause. Militarily the Wun'Tux are formidable combatants, favouring high-calibre, explosive weaponry and overwhelming numbers. Individual warriors use their teeth and claws along with their weapons, inspiring fear wherever they go. Wun'Tux society is a highly fluid meritocracy, each tribe vying for new colonies and victories. The weak are forgotten, the risk takers rewarded. Hunter-Killer Team-Up by TenorPenny, on Flickr The Vonn The benevolent philosopher race, Vonn are small in number but large in influence. They travel through the galaxy, using their defensive technology to protect the weak and immature from people who would destroy and exploit them.
