    It is BAD science fantasy. It is the kind of drek that most people look at, shake their head, and move on. You have a great idea. I would hate to see it lost or unused because of stupid and easily correctable errors.

    Ishtarix(Drow) Magna Crystals

    This is belived to be the responsible for the leaps seen in Ishtarix technology over the past ten years, since the discovery of the gate. On one of the worlds explored by the Ishtarix they happened apon runes of ancient extinct civilizations. Formations of crystals were found in everything, they emitted a strong energy radiation that was not harmful to life but could be harnessed by converters and transformed into power for magic, shields, weapons, space travel anything. The TIA believes that some how Ishtarix figured out to how to work the technology. Whether through decipherment or happening on a cache the TIA has had trouble in swaying information from any Drow informents on this subject. Apparently the Ishtarix own counterinsurgency unit the Watch has become extremely paranoid and cracked down on information leaks.

    Gnomes
    Population: 5-7 Million
    Population Centers: None really, Gnomes are mostly wanders. There are very few large popluations centers in Gnome Terrortory. Because of this they have no firm government, and often pay resepects to no lord but themselves. Also there is much confusion about Gnome terrortory it has no names expect for specific land marks the whole region is merely termed Gnome Terrortory, and is considered neutral.

    Thus any government organized parties do not exist. But several private organizations and mercenary regiments exists many times in the past years countries have been smashed when they have tried to assualt Gnome Terrortory odd but in times of crisis Gnomes will often unite against a common foe.

    Suspected Mercenary Regiments: 12-16

    Private Corperations:
    Power-G; A krana power company
    Explorer Corps; Coorperation responsible for discovery of the Hypergate
    StarHammer: A cooperation that focuses on starship construction.

    Creatures

    Behemoth A very large shaggy haired beast of burden, think of a cross bread of a manmoth and a rhino. Saggy hair all over no trunk or tusks but one big horn that is wide and curved. Before inventions such as the T-1 Tazer Tank these beasts were used to carry around heavy weapons like heavy blazer sticks and Dragon Egg catapults. They were covered with chain mail and a thick armor plating.

    Dragon A wild stupid and vicious beast that was in ancient days captured and forced into serving as a fighter/bomber for various kingdoms. Riders had to carry a long goad to wack at the dragon's neck and snout to direct it. Some dragons went wold and flamed off their own riders. Almost extinct today because people have hunted them to exterminate because they are a mencae to all life

    Unicorn A fast, agile beast slightly smarter than a horse, used to be used in the calvary before modernization.

    Delarvi and Higara both are terms that refer to the homeworld. But Higara refers to present day. Using the term Delarvi refers to ancient times in Higara's past and mythology.

    The terran empire is a Dictatorship headed by Joradn Orsmout, but is divided up into five stats or military districts head up by a Stat Lord/Lady or a Commandant General.

    The Night of the Skyborne Slaughter and the Night of the Great Red Terror refer to the same event.

    There is warp but it is not capable by humans because their bodies are to weak to withstand the strain on their molecular bonds. (They litteraly get ripped apart at the atomic level, not a pretty thing).

    The Hypergate is a unique artficat to Higara but the Drow had reversed egineered it to make a smaller site to site transport version of it. (Like surface to an orbittin ship.

    In the times of Delarvi Night Elfs or Dark Elfs ruled over arila and most of Lokotmon but were adventualy toppled by a combined elf and human force in the Dark Ages.

    Lokotmon/ Terran Empire is located along the equator of the planet and runs half way around the world. Arila is the Elven Kingdom seperated by the massive Parnesque Mountain Ring that runs from about 30 degrees above the equator to the small Mymming Sea in the East and in the west it curves slowly up to the Northern Sea and then back towards the Mymming Sea in the east then south along the coast line...

    I have to go now more later...
