Upcoming: Beyond the Planet

In the following months I hope to update more regularly with an unedited, as-it-comes, sci-fi story based in my "Beyond the Planet" universe. Please keep in mind I have almost no background in science or astronomy.

A little bit about "Beyond the Planet"

The year is 2832 and it has been one hundred years since the Antioch Jihad and the loss of Earth's coordinates. Humanity is at war with itself, fighting over the outer most colonies in a sporadic civil war that has waxed and waned for the past century. The Pan-Galactic Congress, a conglomerate of powerful corporate Houses that oversee a congress of planetary governors, struggles to keep humanity unified and profits in the black while Black Flag, a "group" of radical anarchists, seek to free the "enslaved colonists" in the border zones and carve out their own pseudo-empire. Through it all drift the Nomads, expatriated individuals from both sides of the conflict trying to eke out a survival. Living and working in sector spanning flotillas, these galactic gypsies are the object of fear and prejudice and are often prohibited from entering Tier 1 sectors. It is a turbulent time with expeditions in the Dark Sectors starting to vanish with startling regularity, a burgeoning psychic population, and the first known instance of a rampant AI. Humanity has several paths ahead of it and those who will set the course in years to come will create an echo heard across generations.
