recently over the past few weeks I have been thinking of making my own new universe with its own alien factions along with futuristic humans in it and I was wondering if people would like to have a look at all the notes I have come up with so far and give me some opinions about it. Like if you have any ideas I can expand on what I currently have that would be greatly appreciated.
(Warning: this is all notes so grammar, wording is not a constant here.)
(Also this is not finished yet but the core elements are mostly here so enjoy anyway)

Humanity’s History
Humanity’s journey into space was not without its complications due to recovering from nations holding petty to major grudges or hatreds to one another. However an event in the past did help to escalate the stages to exploring the solar system fully. In the year 2020 AD, the world was preparing for an eventual third world war between the superpowers of China, Russia and the USA, with all competing in an economy and military struggle, war was sure to come. However through the election of several new leaders from Europe and Asian countries helped to ease off the attentions and solve most of the problems the superpowers were going through via major exchanges. A risky problem seen almost impossible managed to end the coming third world war before it had even started.
With most of the problems being managed and new energy sources are now replicated, Humanity then turned to look at the stars once again. With an increase of the population and technology advancement, it would not be long for several nations to expand from the Earth. The UN finally decreed that no one nation should be allowed to claim the planets or planetoids in the solar system and that it is anyone’s right to be there, thus the international space expansion program was born.
In the year 2102 AD, humanity had established its first self-sustaining colony on the moon and had begun terraforming the planet of Mars. It was a major accomplishment in human history but the crisis of overpopulation was now becoming a major crisis back on Earth and expansion was seen as the only humane way to resolve the problem. Over the many decades humanity continued to colonise planetoids in the solar system and partially the bodies of Titan, Europa and Mars. Also stations were established near the planets of Neptune, Saturn and Jupiter for mining rich gases and minerals to nearby moons. At this time, the population had been maintained and Humanity could endure an era of a golden age, now the people began to ask, what is beyond the solar system and could we get there.
As technology progressed faster that was ever thought possible a miracle was made by professor ““by inventing the first FTL drive, “Compression Hyperspace.” Designed to compress the structure of the object into a single line of light as it travels through space subjected to higher particles. However it was until about a decade before the first interstellar spaceship was built ready to plunge itself into the unknown of space on a journey to Proxima Centauri. Within a year the ship had arrived and began to establish a base in the system. For many more years after that Humanity began to explore the nearby star systems colonising small planetoids and building relay stations. At this point of time Humanity had made many discoveries ranging from Major Nano robotics, replicating medical scanners and Biological computation Implants. Almost half a century had passed and a landmark in history was made with the first fully terraformed non solar planet, it was not long before the advancement of humanity was accelerated from discovering new elements and a wider understanding of the universe. However during the late 27th century a leadership change was made when several star systems were colonised with the terraformed planet’s people demanding rights to be either independent or have a voice within Humanity’s leadership. Thus within a few years afterwards the United Nations had collapsed to form a new Human Government, “The United Planets of Humanity” with each planet in way becoming the new nations of humanity.
While continuing to discover the mysteries and wonders of the universe through space, Humanity at this time came to discover the first sentient alien race. A remarkable achievement since many had believed they were the only ones in the known space; an immediate diplomat response was dispatched with its own escort. What was more surprising was that although expecting some form of possible violent response to a new race, the Aliens oddly greeted the human representatives in a similar fashion to themselves even though their methods of meeting and communication were far different. At first both races were in an uncomfortable balance of trust seeing each other as dangerous which lead to unnecessary violent conflicts against each other. But after seeing through the confusion and misunderstandings both Humanity and the ““agreed to remain neutral to one another and traded services and support to one another. As a gift to Humanity, the ““gave them a new type FTL drive.
Expansion of Alien races into the United Planets.
Human Civil War
Humanity developing into a new power as an empire
Humanity introduced into a coalition of powers in the Milky Way
The Coalition of powers falls apart due to the interior infrastructure failing causing a galactic war of a blood bath, One of Darkest moments of Humanity begins here.
Hundreds of years pass with Humanity reduced back to a scavenger/pirate/barbarian race the return of the Human Power did not come until one warlord rose amongst the rest. It was not long before this warlord proclaimed himself the ruler of humanity and sought to rebuild Humanity in its prime and crush all that would oppose him. Thus the reign of the monarchy had begun. Within 6 thousand years, Humanity had become an empire stronger than ever and had almost wiped out all alien races against them. The Milky Way was theirs.
The Empire had entered into a golden age of advancement and plenty for all. However the curiosity of the human race was as usual from their accomplishments never satisfied. Beginning to ask questions of what is beyond the Galactic Arms, Humanity began developing and trying to understand faster forms of travel into the endless void in a search to find another suitable galaxy to expand and explore.
Many decades past before a miracle was gifted to the Human Empire, on the very edge of their galaxy a massive wormhole effect was spotted. After making many observations and sending of recon machines to investigate its purpose, Humanity decreed to use the wormhole to explore into the unknown. What they found on the other side was something many could not have imagined, a galaxy unlike any other in appearance despite being a common type in the universe, Humanity had found the Multi Galaxy Millions of Light years away from home. After establishing several colonies in this new galaxy taking many years for humanity to achieve, they were even more surprised to find civilisations that even matched their own in power and advancement. Thus began the first contact in the Multi Galaxy between humanity and the aliens.
At first when being introduced to the many alien factions, Humanity was welcomed in open arms to several of the powers as a promising member to be in the Multi Galaxy, with Humanity able to offer support in causes and technology exchange between the factions. However the unification and alliances were to be short lived for a few alien empires were seeing the dark side of the Human empire as an aggressive power hungry species bent on conquering or wiping all that would stand in its way.
A few centuries had passed and as Diplomatic, galactic trade and conflict issues arose, Humanity by the hand of the current rule ““declared war on a majority of the alien empires. This would then begin the war of the Multi Galaxy. At the time the Human Empire was on the stronger side having a larger manpower which was being kept by the wormhole activity and their advancements in military technology put them as the aggressor for many decades. However believing itself as a proud race, Humanity let its pride be put before its judgement and began advancing too far into alien territory and over extending its supply lines. The Alien factions finding themselves in a stalemate situation began to group together under one banner forming the Coalition of Empires and seeing humanity’s foolish advance took advantage on attacking its flanks. Although lacking in a military to rival the Human Empire, their advancement in technology was on par and their understanding of cosmic energies and powers not to mention empires helping each other made the odds almost in their favour for the alien factions. Then during the war of Attrition the Human Empire Allies turned against them and striking into their vital trade and supply lines causing Humanity to halt its advancement and nurse its wounds from within its boundaries while pulling back their fleets now in enemy territory back to human controlled space..
Having fought for almost over 2 centuries, the Human Empire has lost as much as it had gained and expended much in its struggle to conquer, while on the other end many Alien Factions had suffered similar outcomes with changes in their governments, ruling seats and leaders. But it was not until the collapse of the Wormhole within the Human Empire Space that tipped the tide and fate of the entire war. With their home galaxy cut off from them, Humanity within the Multi Galaxy was left to fend for itself in an effort to survive.
It was in the last years of the Multi Galaxy War where the true might of the Alien Coalition was shown, planning many decades before to weaken the Human Empire’s flanks and within months they pushed all way towards the core worlds of Humanity. However while this was being orchestrated Humanity had begun a final push to split the alien coalition in half. Thus began the Battle of Blood Gardens, untold Billions of Troops and trillions of civilians on both sides were killed with entire battle fleets wasted on simple advances into enemy territory. The Alien Coalition had finally reached the capital world for the Human Empire within the Multi Galaxy, ““and sought to see its submission. With Humanity spread so thin, the empire pulled all it could to defend the hub planet making an impressive defence, but being outnumbered more than 12 to 1 it was not long before they were pushed back to their main city where defenders prepared to make their last stand. What the Coalition had learned was even in approaching defeat Humanity’s determination unlike other factions was one of the strongest they had ever seen and granted one last chance to cease the hostilities once and for all between the Human Empire and an end to a bloody war claiming quadrillions of people. Humanity at first denied to accept defeat and was eventually pushed back to the tallest of spires where a massacre of the population was committed.
Weakened in its current state, over extending its territory and with so many losses, Humanity finally but reluctantly agreed to sign a galactic treaty. Despite having unfavourable terms pushed upon them, the Human Empire leaders were forced to give so much back to the alien factions and have their military stripped to half. The People of the Empire were enraged by their leader’s actions and saw their governments and structure as a weak and cowardly leadership. It was then that a large amount of star systems defected away from the empire into smaller empires of their own and began a bloody civil war that almost drove the empire within the Multi Galaxy to almost obliteration.
On the opposite side of the aftermath, Major Alien Empires had several old grudges to resolve which had escalated during the war due to rash decisions. Where the war of the Broken Coalition began, lasting only a few decades but reducing major empires down to size in power. It was a time of the Multi Galaxy where many powers had risen, fallen and waned over the many years. In the present era, many new factions and species had risen to become the primary powers of the Multi galaxy and bent on all they can see being under their domain.
Humanity at this time in the Galaxy had managed to survive and rebuild itself into a new form, however it was no longer under one banner or in its prime, with several empires forming showing petty quarrels towards each other. However the Monarch Empire still exists it is however more than a shadow of its current era within the Multi Galaxy. While this has happened many new alien powers have risen to become the current heavy empires of the multi galaxy, it is every species for itself. What is known about Humanity’s home galaxy is unknown either they have either abandoned the Multi Galaxy Humans to their fate, being wiped out by war or plan to return given time. The Year is 64,005 AHE, or roughly the 66th Millennium is a time of struggle and the war to control the Multi Galaxy has begun once again. Who will control the core will control the fate of all in the galaxy.

History Ideas:
• The history is split up into the following sections: “The Multi Galaxy past”, “Humanity’s Rise”, “The Wars of the Multi Galaxy” and “Recent History”
• Several centuries later after the great war many of the minor races and a few major factions have risen up to power including the surviving parts of humanity in the multi galaxy. Some examples of the growing in power alien factions would be the Pysceon Dominion and the Scariiet.
• After the war the centre part of the multi galaxy once seen as the hub of power has had hundreds if not thousands of star clusters destroyed by war. Leaving behind a giant black tear in the centre. It is has many names but it shall be forever known by the majority as the “Black barrier” and “The Null zone”
• Earth through warfare and aftermath effects, may no longer exist. Before that during the creation of the united planets, Earth’s nations no longer mattered and the UN Collapsed. Earth itself is mostly unknown in the future, but what sources could be found seem to point to the Earth being abandoned due to one or a combination of the following: Alien war, natural disaster, human related issue or other. Either way all that would remain is one giant metropolis spanning all over the planet. With the local wildlife mutating into monsters roaming its streets and skylines.
Galaxy Image Concepts
FTL Drives
• The Fold (Think of finding two points in space and compressing the space in between)
• Compression Hyperspace (Compressing the atoms of the object into a line of light)
• Dimensional shifting (shifting into another dimension that has a time speed slower to ours and a different level of energy)
• Gate Traveling (I.e. through artificial gates or wormholes)
• Hole bridging (with the use of artificial Black holes)
Factions
• Humanoid based one (featuring Eastern Europe, Middle Eastern along with Western Asian origins of influence) with some minor changes to appearance (With splinter factions of old western cultures pushed into an advanced state of power and technology) For example about half a dozen empires and powers battling against the grand human power of the multi galaxy with many sub factions of pirates, barbarians and raiders.
• Pysceon Dominion Aquatic alien humanoids having hatred towards Humanity for many centuries and becoming a Monarchy Empire of their own.
• Silicon based life form as scum and destruction in clans And baring various forms of regeneration abilities not to mention life rock weapons with earth characteristics
• An Entity race using summoning abilities and relying less of their own stuff and affecting the normal dimension around them
• The Mimickers (A race that can take on the appearance and characteristics of those it can connect with a host)
• Cyborg race with Matrix or Terminator influences made by the reduced human empire lost in the last great coalition war a desperation act to try and defeat the alien Coalition. Now becoming its own body having survived many thousands of years. To the point that their cyber bodies are required on a minimum level due to their level of intelligence advanced past basic robotic programming.
• Void like energies made or feed off dark matter which are seen as old as the universe itself lurk in the deep space and void between galaxies. Their appearance is unique being that not one is the same.
• Mutated forms of Human based beings
• Athropodian Humanoids as a proud warrior race bearing hard shelled insect characteristics but their organic technology is not mistaking their level of understanding, (Possibly being one of the oldest races in the multi galaxy).
Other minor faction ideas:
• Robotic Pirate Ghosts (A legend or a phenomenon depending on the faction interpreting it)

The Pysceon Dominion
The Pysceon Dominion an alien empire that originally comes from outside the Tri Galaxy is seeking an endless goal to conquer all in its path and seek a never ending avenging desire to punish Humanity for its actions to cause its civilisation back many millennia ago. They believe themselves to be the Inheritors to the known space and will see to it that the stars are theirs to control.
• Their ships are seen as smooth, sleek and long looking vessels. Their weaponry consists more favouring of plasma and beam based.
• They see all planets not like theirs must be purified with the waters of life. In other words they destroy whole civilisations by flooding Planets.
• Most units are a mix of suit and aquatic looking humanoids with a cold aspect to other bio life other than their own.
• Some of their kind have become one with the elements and can change from their current water environment based bodies into pure energy.
• The main race is about 8 feet tall, slim and thin looking creatures, however for their lack of built up structure, their society’s military uses power suits that increases their strength.
• The Aquatic People have a monarch system of government.
• Most of the sentient people were genetically modified fish related creatures and have the ability to speak like normal people on land.
• Use simple breathing sets to walk on land, but have full armoured power suits for combat purposes.
• Have the option for large vehicle options to be able to take large vehicle equipment like shields and regenerating hulls or such with a cost to having less weaponry.
• Having some elevated to the point of pure water essence that help and guide the Pysceon Dominion.
• The Pysceon Dominion was primarily formed after the unification of two distant major ethnic groups.
• After losing the war with back in the past times, their once Beautiful home world is ravaged beyond being inhospitable (For example: Turned into a Desert Waste land or reduced back to a molten state) and only a small fraction of them escape total annihilation into space, hating humanity for what it has done to them and in search of a new home.
Weapons of the Pysceon Dominion
Beam Weapons
The Pysceon Dominion is one of the few races able to efficiently use plasma weaponry. Beam Weapons fire a focus sustaining beam of concentrated plasma taken from the brightest of stars, which upon impact intensifies its damage against armour dramatically.
Bio-Electrical Weapons
The ““commonly use electric based technology in their military, being an aspect that their bodies emit. Using charged energy, they are able to unleash electric current across the battlefield. A burst of this energy is enough to make most organic foes be fried and slow down heavy troops.
Catalyst Cannon
A recent development of the Pysceon Dominion the Catalyst Cannon fires a catalyst at a point releasing a sphere which on contact a portion of antimatter is released. Upon impact, matter in any kind mutually detonates with tremendous force
Harpoon Launchers
Taking the name from the weapon used by the Pysceon to hunt fish monsters from their home world, the Harpoon Launcher is their weapon of choice when the armoured opponent walks on the battle field.
Liquidizor Weapons
Liquidation technology is the weapon of prime for the Pysceon Dominion. The Liquidizor fires a burst of Ferro fluid liquid into the target expanding around them. It magnetises the target’s metallic based particles at supersonic level of speed causing their bodies to rip apart in an explosive manner.
Plasma Missiles
The Plasma Missile is Pysceon Dominion’s vision of purification against all that oppose them. Built into the warhead is a plasma detonator that causes a spray of compressed super-heated slag to eject onto the area it lands on.
Pressure Fist
Taking the form of a moulded gauntlet around the user, the pressure fist upon impact injects into the target super pressurised corrosive liquid which can make short work of armoured opponents in combat.
Purifier Cannon
When the Pysceon Dominion tackles with an enemy that tries to entrench itself thinking it can survive, the Purifier Cannon is brought out. The cannon fires a very unstable shot of energy that spreads upon contact with the ground, scattering plasma fire burning organic beings within moments, where even cover can’t protect them.
Scourge Missile
The signature armament of the Pysceon Dominion air support, the scourge missile when on impact with its target releases a volatile electric wave. This field of electric current is able to render flesh into scourged remains as it dances around the battlefield.
Spike weapons
A crud but effective armour piercing weapon design, spike weapons fire a volley of needle like metal spikes at a tremendous speed towards their targets. Able to punch through flesh and most types of metal, the spike weapons are an arsenal to be feared.
Star Weapons
Through Ancient Knowledge passed down through thousands of years of understanding the cosmos. The Pysceon were able to create stones that could store or emit the power of the stars, which was used for energy and military purposes. From within the weapon, light is emitted as such a concentrated rate and compression that it melts or blinds anything foolish enough to cross it.
Stun Weapons
Originally designed to be used for hunting purposes to train new soldiers in beast combating, the stunner fires a sphere jolt into the target. Overloading their system and shutting down normal body functions.
Water Amplifier
Designed to eradicate worlds with civilisations, the Water Amplifier increases the output of particles to create water based conditions on an incredible scale, by dropping an Emitter on the surface. Thus creating storms striking without warning as slowly the amplifiers terraforms the planet.
The Fold
Reserved for long periods of travel for the Pysceon Dominion is a FTL called “The Fold Effect”. The fold effect works by focussing on two points in real space. The distance between the points is reduced to astronomical small distances in space to the point where the Pysceon can leave one destination and appear in the arriving one in mere moments. How this is achieved is done by having a network of beacons maintained by ascendants which create a network of beacons around in real space over many light years.
This form of travel is limited again to the Ascended who are beings of pure energy that can use their energies to focus on the two points in space while making the connection. Also an Ascended needs to know the location mentally where the two points are in order to help focus the Fold Effect, in which the beacons play a part in finding an area of space to focus on.
However the powering required for the ships to make the fold effect is also a detriment to the Pysceon Dominion which requires hours if not days of preparation in order for the jump to work. However the jump can allow the Dominion to travel potentially hundreds of light years across the stars in mere moments. There are at some strongholds or main star systems Beacon Runs. These are cylindrical structures in space that allow ships to Fold jumping to be done without the need of long preparations and allow them to jump even further relying on the beacon network. These stations can have multiple fold jumps going to multiple beacons destinations allowing travel over several Thousand Light years. These which can commonly be known as beacon network runs, which are primarily to maintain the military supply, the trading between colonies and quicker expanse of the Pysceon Dominion.
The Beacon network also serves as the main form of Sensory and Tracking for the Pysceon Dominion able to pick out disturbances in warp activity from travelling ships to rift openings.
