So many ideas!

I have so many different ideas bouncing around in my head. But I'd be interested in what anyone else has to throw into the mix?

My main idea was to do 5 "chapters", each with 5 "parts" to create an overall arc across every story (al la B5), however I wanna start small. And I think a "Gathering" kind of story would suit us first. Something where all our characters come together and we as players get accustomed to how things work.

I was thinking maybe something like being Peacekeepers or ISA representatives at a far flung Trade Negotiation or border dispute between several races. Gives us a chance to just get our teeth into this kinda story... let me know what you think.

I wanna get a good solid first mission/story under our belts first, but going forward I had an idea that borrows a little from the Star Trek: New Earth novel series which centred on the Enterprise (of course) protecting a wagon train of colonists as they had out to establish a new home, the series eventually didn't have the Enterprise in it and features instead the colony's own ships etc. It was quite good. I thought maybe we could do something similar at some point. Story 1 of this could be WS91 escorting the colonists with some action in the same of raiders, or other prospectors, and the story could continue on about us helping the colonists establishing their homes, perhaps finding some latent ancient technology on the planet... the possibilities here are endless. And once we've established a place in our little universe it'll be handy to revisit from time to time.

Another long term story could be about the discovery of a new alien race. One that threatens the stability of the Interstellar Alliance, one that was perhaps, like the Drakh, servants of the Shadows and are now missing their masters. Perhaps jealous of the Drakh's monopoly on Shadow technology and wanting some of it for themselves.

Then there's always stories about races not particularly developed in the series; like the Streib, the Dilgar, etc.

So far as short term stories go, I like the idea of finding new alien technology and investigating and dealing with whatever repercussions that entails. Like, maybe it's some abandoned defense system or something, or maybe other people learn about it and try to take it for themselves, or something...
