Create A Universe With Other Writers!!!
JediJerboaGreetings newcomer, and welcome to the "Create A Universe With Other Writers!!!" thread! We are a group of informal writers working together on, you guessed it, a sci-fi universe, and we're always looking for new ideas, so feel free to share your thoughts here. If you need an idea on what we've created so far, here's a little summary for you:
Earth, now known as Gaia, has come to peace with all nations, uniting them against the extraterrestrial forces invading their solar system. This unison allows Gaia to conquer numerous planets, even stretching into other galaxies, thus giving them the new title of the Empire of Gaia. New alliances with alien races have allowed the humans to gather new technology and skills, the most important being the Living Crystals, a sort-of organic AI system that powers their weapons. However, the Empire of Gaia does not always run smoothly, so special forces teams are employed to help even out the discord in the empire. Even still, battles are being waged everyday against hostile aliens, traitorous armies, and other powerful enemies. It seems hard to be called a hero in these dark times, yet some manage to gain this revered title in outrageous acts of valor.

rockstar894Well the thing is that we don't have to limit the entire universe to one single life form. Like I said before, the species should all be of different physique and live on different kinds of planets, therefore we could have three neighboring planets that are the homes of a human, orc, and machine life form.
I know, that's why I gave the other two suggestions.
rockstar894If you wanted, there could be a planet that somehow gives life to whatever object falls on it.
This is a fun idea, and one that I actually had myself all the way back when I was just a kid.
All in all, if we were to actually go ahead and try to write something from this universe, I think our two main options would be to focus on one small, mostly-isolated part of it (such as a spaceship crash-landing on a medieval world), or show one of the big galactic communities and provide the broader picture. As far as pacing goes, I much prefer the idea of slowly bringing in these concepts by focusing on many small details that end up making the big picture.
