As many of you know, some of us are working on a nifty new collaborative sci-fi project. It's going well, with everything from ship designs to fiction to a graphical RPG in the works. However, this nifty new collaborative sci-fi project needs a name. Basically, it needs to be something short but meaningful, in the same way that "Star Trek," "Star Wars," "Babylon 5," etc. are. The problem is that the title doesn't need to be specific in any way...basically, what's needed is something that sounds good. So, if you have any ideas at all, please post them. The winner gets a free pencil.

Maybe a smidgin' more info is needed, but I'll try to be as non-specific as I can...

One entry for now...

Actually, that's pretty good.
The sci-fi project involves a large galaxy that people on the project can craft parts of to their liking, whether that part is a person or a civilisation.

Indeed! BTW, feel free to combine terms from previous entries, if you've got a really good idea that builds upon them.

Sounds good. I'm thinking of some combinations, too, like "Distant Empires," to take two of yours. That actually works well, since on the map script, something like .001% of the galaxy already has more than a dozen empire-like nations. If anyone else thinks of anything good, feel free to post...these are great ideas.

Here's a thought... If there is going to be any group in this galaxy that are sort of primary, and if they have a main language, you can make up a word or two in that language to use. It doesn't matter how dumb or corny the translation is, because it will sound cool on its own... :-)

I thought of something like that...it's a possibility, but some of these entires are just really good.

Well depending on the political climate of this "new galaxy"..and I'm making the assumption its one galaxy...
Strife Among the Stars The Farthest Reaches A Galaxy in Chaos...ok maybe thats too depressing
Or if you wanted to combine something

It's one galaxy, but it's a big galaxy, with wide ranges of stability. And I like chaos.
