And here's the map. This is only a fraction of the whole system, and even smaller part of the galaxy, essentially just the tip of a needle in the galactic affairs. It takes from a few days to a month or two to travel between systems, depending on the distance, so word gets around slowly.

And here's the finished thing, with some backstory. The United Systems is the remnant of the Old Dominion, refusing to accept the fact that humanity has once again been divided. Even though they have the highest amount of shipyards and population, large amounts of their navy defected or...

More paint madness. The numbers represent population in billions, inner outline shows what kind of planets the system has. White means nothing habitable, brown means terraformable worlds or worlds that are being terraformed, green means habitable worlds. 0.1 essentially means the system...

Something WIP I thought to post here; it's basically a starmap represented like a metro network, because that's how the FTL gate system they use works. It could probably look a whole lot prettier if I moved out of paint, but I like how easy it is to edit. Or I'm just lazy. Yeah, probably that...

Lovely map. Alt Roman maps are quite rare and love the casual magyar blobs far inside Roman territory.

For every single map I made, just paint. Literally free hand rough shapes and then fixing everything to look real pretty one pixel at a time.

A little fun-map I got inspired to do after seeing the no americas map. It's still a WIP, but the premise is that somewhere around the year 900~ an ASB vanishes most of the New world, instead leaving a bunch of islands here and there and makes sure the currents whatever are handwaved away and...

Your proposal about how we should handle the aliens sounds good to me. I don't think there should be loops or form together. You have to get off at every system and take a new gate, makes travel a little slower and keeps the network easy to track. About the maximum, don't know if there needs...

This is my dreamworld. Would require the Finno-ugric people being steppe nomads, maybe migrating/conquering parts of western Europe during one of the migratory periods.

Basically an organization like scientology, nutjobs who want an united world but go to the extremes to reach their goals.

Maybe Humans limit AIs on purpose in fear of what might happen. We end up with AIs that are built around Human personalities and goals. They have no desire to get rid of them as they are driven by the Human emotions.

I think so, I quite like your take on the wormhole technology. As for the timeline, we should try to make it more detailed, bit by bit. I'll figure out some entries. Some vague political entries are good too. I also agree with this. 2049 - Wormholes are first discovered by accident when the...

I actually really like that write-up, sounds solid enough too.

Well if we wouldn't have any FTL, how fast would we have sublight engines going?

This is great, a legit reason to have massive super dreadnoughts going around. Actually committing them to combat would be a massive risk though, you'd have to be absolutely sure there is no risk of losing one. Well, since we have the gate network, the interstellar private sector would...
