So. Racers isn't a bad idea, but is a bit too
"silly" in my opinion. Evil just sounds... eh.
So, going with the
empire theme (yes I know it's only supposed to help with picking an empire at first but I'm sticking with it), I want something more fitting with that theme. Something about exploration, or discovery. Being lost in space -- like in the Racers concept -- is a good start.
The Terran Nomads ((new name super super super appreciated, thanks))
Earth was a diamond in the rough. It was a paradise among the stars that housed and nurtured us humans as we grew and matured. Blue oceans, endless green plains and forests filled with wildlife.
Now, looking back, we can know that we took it for granted. As we venture through the galaxy alone, we can truly appreciate the value of a paradise lost.
We still don't know what happened. We just saw debris. Debris of the planet that nurtured us for millennia.
What matters is that it's gone, and we'll never see the wonders it held again. The first successful and now only Terran expedition sent before the loss of Earth, we're now burdened with its legacy. Even as we settled our new "homeworld", we were solemnly aware of the fact that we and our descendants would only ever see Earth in memories.
It was difficult, getting to Lima. Our ships were the first of the human race to succesfully use Bore drives. They weren't equipped to travel the vast distances to the next planet. For decades, we lived on our ships coming in and out of cryosleep as our top engineers continued devoting their lives to modifying and continuously improving the drives to get to our new home. It was desperate, but as the remnants of Earth and the Terrans we knew we had a duty to survive, and our jury-rigged ships Bored to our new home after 23 years spent lost in space.
Today, despite it only ever being seen by our distant ancestors, we still mourn Earth. But we've changed. We know that someone, some race, out there in the galaxy is responsible for the murder of Earth and our duty as the legacy of Earth obligates us to enact justice. We have our cities built around the ships that originally brought us here, housing millions of citizenry eager to uphold their Legacy and enact Justice. Our warships, built using the designs the engineers of the original Voyage created as they kept their ships running, will bring these citizens to those responsible for Earth's fate. Our weaponry, built from memory of the wondrous technology of an Earth long gone, will be the tools we use to finally bring Justice to the galaxy.
Still need a homeworld name and a better empire name, and there's a
lot to elaborate, but what do people think of this concept?
