Mad Moxie's Reconditioned Starship and Shuttle Emporium

Image
Mad Moxie’s Reconditioned Starship and Shuttle Emporium (Moxie’s prices are IN-SANE!) There has never been a starbase in the Nimbus system, which some people attribute to the lack of immigration to the so-called Planet of Galactic Peace, Nimbus III. Mad Moxie’s Reconditioned Starship and Shuttle Emporium, located in a prestigious and no doubt honourable (just ask them) metastable Lagrangian point between Nimbus III and one of its two moons, is one of the most expansive orbital constructions in the system. Mad Moxie’s Reconditioned Starship and Shuttle Emporium was not much of a starbase as a modest (but still no doubt honourable) 100 Displacement Tonnage space station with several moorings surrounded by several starships in varying degrees of being salvaged or reconditioned. While numerous defense satellites and drones patrol the area, one can fly directly to the docking port of the office station without much difficulty. Entering the airlock, a halting overpronounced voice r...

Why Literpak Water is so expensive

Why Literpak Water is so expensive The Imperium and the Space Navigator's Guild Corpus get regular complaints about why Literpak Water is so expensive.   The oppressive heat of Araxes requires a special water that compensates for the extreme dehydration caused by the desert.   Literpak Water, manufactured under license by the Imperium and distributed by the Space Navigator's Guild Corpus uses a proprietary process involving subjecting purified dihydrogen monoxide to specific frequencies of high energy sound waves, creating sonoluminescence which causes a persistent reduction in the average size of the clusters present in the liquid.   Dihydrogen monoxide (DHMO), also known as dihydrogen oxide, Hydronium Hydroxide, hydrogen oxide, hydrogen hydroxide, hydric acid, hydroxic acid, hydroxylic acid, hydroxilic acid, hydroxyl acid, and μ-oxido dihydrogen is a colorless and odorless chemical compound which consists of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. Its basis is the highl...

Laurathian Sky Camping

Image
Laurathians (Alien Space Bats) have shared Araxes with the Desertborn for thousands of years. They live in caves, Deserborn live underground. Laurathians are more aero oriented, they love flying and are fond of heights. The picture above is the peculiar Laurathian passtime of sky camping.   Laurathian youth are avid dancers.

Thermal Shield Blanket

Masks contrasts of IR so that what is beneath (within a certain limit) appears homogenous to thermal scanning.  

The Ordeal of Willlessness

The Ordeal of Willlessness OOC: Special thanks to Mirra Zanzibar, who after more than a year of silence, we had a very long and very overdue chat. She described her month long unspeaking as 'living without free will until her grief had passed'. Mirra has a unique set of life experiences, leading her to profound and fundamental understandings on various subjectmatter. Even though I have known her since we were both kids, it is still like talking with someone from another planet. I mean that in a good way. Many of our conversations are like talking with a genuine alien entity, but it is very illuminating. Like so many of my conversations with Mirra, there was voluminous required reading. My friends are high maintenance that way, a small price to pay for having smart educated friends with unique perspectives. I will spare you the thousands of pages of near impossibly dense and dry academic philosophy and neurobiology journal articles, I will however include the bibliography to a...
