The Rules[edit | edit source]
- When writing your race sheet, please fill out every section and make it detailed; a single sentence to describe the history or culture is insufficient. Add any and all details you can think of; the more the merrier. Feel free to take a look at the wiki or talk to users if you're having any trouble, we will gladly help you brainstorm ideas!
- Once accepted, please register for the wiki and begin making a page as soon as you are able. A detailed race sheet is good, but it is also just a start.
- God-modding is prohibited. A race can be very powerful in some aspects, but cannot be invulnerable. They have to be able to lose; the story is more interesting that way!
- This is not a solo project. Interact with the other users, and always ask for permission before using someone's race.
- Infighting among the factions is not unheard of, and in appropriate circumstances, is even encouraged.
- Please use discretion when applying numbers to your race. While numbers are perfectly acceptable in some contexts, such as measuring the length of a starship or showing how large a race's standard battlegroup is, they create ore problems than they are worth in other situations, such as detailing how large a nation's military is, which will likely come off as either absurd or as god-modding.
- No unexplained magic. While certain forms of mysticism and limited psychic powers are permitted, this is ultimately a science-fiction universe first and foremost. If a reasonable scientific explanation can be created for what seems like a magical event, it may be permitted.
