World building

let us make a space opera Veeky Forums

All species have four arms

The only way to travel via FTL (so far) is through stargate-ish gates

what about humans

Nice trips.

Four arms

how about no

It does not take place in the Milky Way, instead it is taking place in the Andromeda galaxy. And the only humans are from an aincent generation ship (the humans do not have 4 arms)

bloodsoaked,nomadic shark people who devolved from a once mighty empire now their minds are broken and only brought back after eating and drink flesh and blood

I fear we do not have much time. The Humans have returned...and they are very angry with us.

You may remember them from the ancient archives, a plague of unrestrained greed, ruining planets in their wake. Our ancestors killed most of them in the trans galactic war, but a few survived, locked on a single world and without the technology required to visit adjacent worlds, let alone other solar systems. Thinking them doomed, we gave them mercy and let them live.

Our greatest mistake. Our one true regret. They didn't die out- they thrived. They grew stronger, smarter, more adaptable than they had been before. For ten thousand of their years, we have held them at bay, fueling their innate desire for war and explotation, turning it against themselves in the hopes their last refuge would destroy itself due to its lack of resources. but they eventually discovered our infiltrators, stole their technology and twisted it to their own ends.

We can no longer see where the path leads. We are doomed, but it may not be too late for the others. We will send word throughout known space and implore them to wipe them out whereever they might appear.

They've begun arriving in system. Their scout ships outnumber our entire fleet almost four to one, and our last intelligence suggests this assault is less than 1% of their forces.

We are doomed.

A species with an incurable disease abducts various inhabitants of other species in order to replace body parts that continually degrades. They are often spotted the void between various territories in a desperate attempt to survive.

giant eldritch horrors are hunted for fuel to galaxy gates as their blood holds unlimited scientific potenial to do amazing thing like the gates or creating new worlds

The galaxy was once dominated by an ancient empire of several different species. The empire fell but all the former ruling caste still have four arms.

i regret to say this but we may have to call upon those chaotic beast the rumar,those savages may be cruel and uncivilized but humans are death incarnate we need them

shark people

>
humanity is the "evil" faction along with the enslaving diseased beasts from before they battle each and the rest of the known galaxy from the cruel and shark-like Rumar and noble and mighty Veather who have huge trade routes across the galaxy

sci-fi skorne dragon people who were almost killed by the premordial humans

Not every race has four arms, but most races do, and races with two arms are seen as extremely strange.

Shark People work for one species trying to stop us. we'd never look at the ocean the same way again.

cursed,faceless,and evil elven like beings that kill hundreds of worlds in the name of vengeance and a false faith

Genetic engineering, combined with the debauched lifestyle of almost untouchable merchant lords, has resulted in impossibly beautiful and submissive "entertainment" slaves being present in the higher courts and abodes of the extremely wealthy, as a status symbol and piece of organic furniture.

nearly immortal dwarf species that are the self proclaimed saviours of the history of galaxy and advanced masters in ion energy and keep the universes history.

a insect race that enslaves and converts the galaxy's peoples to make the biomass that they create their ships,buildings,and weapons with

humanity is a medium tech scale force that just drowns everyone with bodies and giant ass war engines based off the long dead wildlife of earth.

crab-like slavers who run a hedonistic empire that promises equality in the form of pleasure so mix the tau and dark eldar

spess frog samurai i dont know why but lets make it happen

necromancer lich lords in space that are the remains of old humanity

Nice digits.

These "entertainment" slaves are generally humanoid, come in a variety of colors, and many have tails, horns, or other cosmetic features. They have extremely acute senses, and derive pleasure from almost anything, especially physical contact with their masters.

now who are their enemies

flying purple goblin critters that steal everything from everyone

so we have a very angry humanity, crazy shark people who become sane if they eat flesh,gentic bending slavers,goblins,diesaed monsters and we got crabs lets keep it going what about history

They are artificial, and grown in vats by a corporation, which custom tailors each slave to their customer's specifications. Their intelligence is somewhat lower than the human average, and they have a mindless desire to pleasure themselves and their masters any way possible.

Many of their extremely wealthy owners are content to have just one, but most prefer to gather themselves a harem of pleasure slaves, as they'll passionately compete with one another for their master's attention and favor, and many wealthy individuals enjoy the ego-stroking this provides.

so can we name them because i can't think of one

well at some point Humanity was spread across the galaxy in a mad, everexpanding quest for more resources and incurred the wrath of multiple other species until they were almost exterminated.

so there are probably a number of species that stood up to take the power vacuum but failed to control MASSIVE chunks of space. lets say...6 or so.

they're all gone now, but they left behind their technology and secrets in vaults in the space between solar systems.

the Shark people are the guardians of the vaults in the systems coreward of Humanity, but there's enough of a gap that Humans haven't met them in full scale conflict.

humans are in three factions the two major and one rebel like one like the free states or something

yes but the other races doubt our shark people as during the great war the humans coruppted their minds and now they can go from a rock to telsa in an hour

you mean with intelligence right

A bunch of hedonistic hermaphrodite trans-dimensional rabbits.

that's one of the six dead races.

their vaults are usually impossible to find.

They are advanced, and can take any material form. They do a lot of weird shit for pleasure. Such as: pretending to be a pre-FTL civs gods, fucking with evolution of other species (sometimes literally), and living on massive space-fuck-arks, also, don't forget that some live in mech-suits giving a constant stream of an LSD-like drug.

Yeah, they made a dick constellation and another which said "FUCK YOU" and promptly left the galaxy.

we can't read their language, but the Big Dipper came from -somewhere-.

thats all we need

How about Voluptatem? That means pleasure in ancient Latin.

hell yea

we need some more species with good desricption all i have is the sharkies,the pleasure lords the sick dudes who collect body parts and humans

don't forget the voluptatem sex slaves

so are all the races together or fighting or what all i get is that humans are being genocidal,again


so nothings new with humans

thats the pleasure lords

Ok lemme take a crack at a new alien species.

six legged, insectoid things that are only a foot tall. they have two pairs of arms protruding from their backs, all of which are longer than their entire bodies.

they don't reproduce in the normal fashion, instead, when they die, they explode in large sprays of spores, which pull carbon from the atmosphere to create much smaller versions, which eat their dead to grow into adult sizes.

they're not fully unified, instead divided amongst numerous large colonies where each sports a large predominate mutation of some sort, and are constantly at war with themselves. they control well over 300 systems, and the internal borders between factions change daily. they only really pull together as a society when there's a large enough threat to warrant an internal cease-fire.

their true name is unpronouncable without the use of subsonic vocal cords, but they accept the moniker of Kjsst'''latch-ival.

so what tech do the voluptatem have the sharks have mid teir as does humans

damn you got anymore were that came from

some higher tech gleaned from the secrets of the vaults, but not much.

they can reoxyginate the water their ships carry without the need for plants to process it.

they can temporarily terraform planets into water worlds for them to colonize for breeding purposes.

they can adapt any aquatic based lifeform into food that they can digest properly, free of toxicity or allergies.

was that the voluptatemor the sharks

the sharks

The voluptatem don't have technology or their own faction, they're somewhere between being the pets and willing sex slaves of the rich.

The Yalwenir, or "Starbirds" as they have been called by many races.

when a red giant star explodes, it does so because a breeding cycle of this species has finished. they explode in flocks of tens of thousands, feeding off of interstellar gases to grow larger. they migrate across the galaxy, circling it in great swarms and stopping on the hottest stars to recover from the cold of interstellar travel.

while not technologically adept, they can and do socialize with other species, often providing them with ways to harness solar energy in order to maintain lasting relations in exchange for claiming gas giants as feeding grounds for their young.

Many years ago,before our kinds time,their are tales of a barbaric warlike race with no levels of honor.No not the rumar(shark people) these are the "humans" these beings very souls were filled with greed and cruelty they raped and pillaged all across the galaxy until a great unity was called by the surving races.the 6 that arrived were the Rumar,the Kjsst''latch-ival,the Gorukl,the Morluch,the Kol,and the Voluptatem,before their fall.Together they nearly killed all of the humans but some fled and they survived on some backwater deathworld.now while we are weakened they the humans have returned and they bring death with them.

damn now i have to put in the yalwenir

i tought they were the slavers that pleased themsleves with slaves

that's easy. the Rumar are still around. the Yalwenir are "dead" because their adults all died out, while their kids are still in hibernation.

The Mith'Fell
A race of humanoid bird men divided into 2 factions that started out as the most popular fast food chains. They wage relentless war with one another to win 100% market share. War crimes are frequent and both sides hate each other with a burning passion. Astro Burger is currently engaged in a brutal orbital bombing of the frontier franchises of Noodle Bites, killing millions of workers daily. Noodle Bites prefers to assimilate captured workers with their vast Employee Processing Units where Astro Burger POW's are implanted with Optimal Production Chips and an undying loyalty to the CEO (praise be him). Both factions are willing to lend their vast manpower and advanced industrial technology to whoever helps end the other food chain.

thats awesome and and sad at the same time

It is a perilous time for the
galaxy. A brutal civil war has
all but destroyed the Space
Paladins,leaving the ailing
Republic on the verge of
collapse.

Amid the turmoil, the evil
Dark Lords have spread across the
galaxy, hunting down and
killing the remaining
Space Paladins.

Narrowly escaping a deadly
Dark Lord ambush, the last known
Space Paladin clings to life aboard a
battered freighter near the
ravaged world of Peragus....…

A race of sentient spaceships who evoleved from very early space probes which fell into a worm hole

Sounds vaguely familiar...

so what about gods of the races

V'ger, is that you? where have you been for the past 38 years?

um have i heard that before

The only true god of the Mith'Fell is favorable market share, and the CEO must do everything within his power to achieve it.

This looks completely original and not derivative in any way.

t.George Lucas

the Kjsst'''latch-ival ate their gods save one- Mrrrk'il'thalir, mother of mutation. their mutations were seen as representations of divine origins.

the Yalwenir don't have gods in the traditional sense, but worship their ancestors, with black holes seen as holy grounds and places the honored dead go to rest and white dwarfs as the original homelands of Yalwenir, and won't tolerate any intrusion by non-Yalwenir.

Orks actually do something similar to that.

Fear the might of the Volupoteam! Our dick cruisers and Jizz fighters shall swarm your worlds!

I know. it's a neat mechanic that should be used more in sci-fi.

Conception Art. Hope You enjoy it

topkek.

Also, they still do have a military, they don't like to fight, but when they do, prepare your anuses. They have guns, spacecraft, and tanks shaped like genitalia. I am not kidding.

So we Volupoteam can't have our planned annual orgy with you guys in the black hole. Aww...

love how they Volupoteam are super rapists

>space-fuck-arks

I was Thinking about Having a Chosen One thrown into the Mix. But Decided Against it Due to being a cliche. However I was thinking of Adding a Chosen one Only to be killed to show how powerful the Dark Lords, and show how hopeless the Situation is

we wouldn't dream of denying one of your people's most sacred festivals due to a minor technicality of holiness. we could designate one in ten black holes as given over to the Volupoteam, as a diplomatic concession. The treaty writers can go over the particulars in detail some other time.

How bout four arms.

Okay, thanks. So we didn't need to build those Dick cruisers, and Vagina Carriers after all.

hey if you guys are so nice us Rumar(the insane shark berserkers) would like so bodies to eat

if you don't mind

oh god he came back

Having a sense of smell is considered a super power among most races.

We did conquer some faggots in the Magellan clouds. I swear to that non-existant god those guys were assholes. Thankfully they did have assholes to pierce. Sure, you can take 'em.

ok but dont ask for them back we dont leave left overs

oh yeah, screw those heretics.

please, eat them. it'll save us the trouble of having to transport them to the traitors blackhole.

GLORY TO THE RUMAR

Second Conception Art. Please Respond.

god damn it can you please just help

...

i was gonna argue but yea cement with teeth

Why not sell them to Noodle Bites? We can offer 10-20 Million Battle Ready Employees in exchange for the protein

how about we eat them instead then we give noodle bites 100000 veteren Rumar?
ill wait for your answer

Okay. How about a microscopic, intelligent life forms that originated from the foundation of life in the center of the galaxy, and ultimately resided within the cells of all living organisms, thereby forming a symbiotic relationship with their hosts allowing them to use Magic?

god i hate you almost as much as the four arms guy
