Ideas
- Technologic development of the League? They have explored most of the galaxy but have yet to go beyond the rim. They can harvest energy from stars directly but have yet to construct a Dyson sphere, or at least the project has never been undertaken. The technology to destroy a star and create a black hole is there, but is illegal, due to its potential as a weapon. They have just recently begun to harvest dark matter for practical purposes. Much of the technical details can be ignored due to the story being told from the point of view of Rigel, who doesn't really understand what is going on.
- That’s a good idea. The League needs to have enough tech to travel around their home galaxy and to be able to barely stop the collapse of the universe if they tried over a long period of time, neither too much nor too little, whatever that tech may be. (NickSchroederPhilosopher)
- Tentative Synopsis, Chapter 2: Rigel, in search of a cure, ventures out of League territory to a far off planet following rumors of an illegal medical procedure.
- Tentative Synopsis, Chapter 3: Rigel finds himself on the planet of the immortals, falling in love, but also needing to leave after a short time.
- Tentative Synopsis, Chapter 4: Desperate in love, Rigel searches for Sophiy, spanning hundreds of years.
- Tentative Synopsis, Chapter 5: Rigel finally finds Sophiy who convinces him to play a pivotal role in the League as a new threat emerges.
- Tentative Synopsis, Chapter 6: War looms as the Order sets out to unleash havoc on the galaxy.
- Tentative Synopsis, Chapter 7: The League fights back, but Rigel's loyalty is tested after Sophiy's death.
- Tentative Synopsis, Chapter 8: In his despair Rigel becomes the tool of the enemy, as the Order pushes the League to the brink.
- Tentative Synopsis, Chapter 9: As the new dark age sets in Rigel wanders the galaxy for 200 years until encountering the mysterious Sentience.
- Tentative Synopsis, Chapter 10: Rigel heads toward the anomaly at the center of the galaxy to set off a chain reaction that could stop the collapse of the universe, for better or worse.
- I’m thinking the Order is really old, and every once in a while will wreak havoc on the galaxy throwing all the sentient races into a dark age, the last one ending 1,000 years ago. Maybe they use robots to do it, which would explain the galaxy’s antagonism of everything robotic, including Rigel’s nanoprobes. Whether the Order is good or bad, we can figure out as we’re writing it. But there are two philosophical positions at play, Do we want a living, never ending universe (expand and collapse) where sentient life comes and goes every cycle, or Do we want a universe that will eventually die (heat death) but one or more species gets to live an additional trillion years or so? The Order would seem to take the first position, sentient life would seem to take the second. Rigel will have to decide who is right. (NickSchroederPhilosopher)
