Wack Donalds Galactic Empire World Building

Yeah I said I'd do this if it got 5 notes and it got 0, but what do I care?

Here's the backstory for my dumb episodic sci fi game and the inspiration list:

The classic Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams (book)

Dimension 20's A Starstruck Odyssey (live play)

The Young Lief spinoff from Midnight Burger (podcast) ((honestly 90% of the inspiration for the bonkers premise is this and hitchkers))

Oz 9 (podcast) ((players if you hear me say "its not my fault" in a very specific accent thats from this))

a larp a friend started working on a system for where there was a robot revolution

a d6 starwars game i played in where my pc was a robot assassin

my episodic zine based off the combination of those two games! which once i upload it to kofi will be linked here i'm sure

Backstory below the cut for keeping the post succinct on whoever's home screen this winds up on

It is well known in the universe that cows were initially an intergalactic non-space-faring race from the planet Bos Mootarus (bOHs mOO-tar-us). Around the time the rest of the universe became space faring, a capitalist focused planet within the same system of Bos Mootarus began hunting the peaceful species as they discovered their meat was delicious. The capitalist species known as WacDonalds began a corporate take over of the universe, using their delicious Mootaran based meats to establish franchises in many solar systems which led to a financial domination of worlds. As their financial and fast food empire expanded, their breeding and culling practices of Mootarans went unreported as they were non-space-faring and had not connected to the rest of the interconnected galaxies. As Mootarans began to go extinct from increased demand, WacDonalds began to supplement their burgers with an addictive plant by-product, slowly replacing the meat entirely with the plant based material.

A group of revolutionary journalists discovered the culling and genocide of Mootarans and secretly began sneaking them out of the system, to the only other sentient planet without space faring technology- EARTH. EARTH has become a Mootaran Sanctuary where they grow and live in peace (as far as the revolutionaries are aware) and the revolutionaries occasionally still send Mootarans to EARTH for safe keeping. (This is why many depictions of aliens show cows being beamed by spaceships, humans have simply misinterpreted this as abductions instead of the relocation that it actually is. Silly humans.)

WacDonalds has become more desperate to seed the idea that meat is unnecessary, promoting a radical cult of cykoteks which believe that meat is the way of the past. Because their plant by-products can fuel electronics (like corn fueled engines but way better and sciencier) they branched into medical cybernetic research and have begun a branch of the company which provides cybernetik organ replacements. The organ replacements however tend to be faulty, leading to cykotek electrical problems that cause blinding rages and moments of violent psychosis. This new line of revenue has combined with an underground cykotek gladiatorial ring where those who cannot pay off their cybernetic surgeries are sent to fight to pay off their debts to the company.

As time has gone on the Sathars have made it part of their mission to protect the Mootaran Sanctuary, though no one is certain why. The belief that Trump was an alien plant in order to prevent further progress (scientific or otherwise) of the human race is an accurate one.

Two Satellites orbiting Earth might collide at 50 feet per second above Pittsburgh

There's a lot of stuff up there, whizzing around in low-Earth orbit. Given the thousands of old, defunct satellites that can no longer communicate with Earth, it's surprising how seldom they collide; but just such a collision might happen this week.

According to space debris tracking service LeoLabs, IRAS (a decommissioned space telescope launched in 1983) and GGSE-4 (a science payload aboard a decommissioned and only relatively recently declassified military satellite launched in 1967) are headed for a close encounter.

Data says, on January 29, at 23:39:35 UTC, the two spacecraft will pass within just 15 to 30 metres (50 to 100 feet) of each other at an altitude of around 900 kilometres or 560 miles. And because both are dead as doornails, there's no way Earth can communicate with them to conduct evasive manoeuvres.

“Antarctica’s Biggest Glacier” is melting at an alarming pace

The so-called Thwaites “Doomsday Glacier” in the Western Antarctica is almost of the size of Britain, and it is melting at a rapid pace. If it was to collapse, then it would lead to a significant increase in sea levels of around 2 feet. The impact on the coastal communities around the world would be Catastrophic.

A submersible yellow submarine-like robot capable of navigating the sub-zero waters was fed through one borehole to study how the glacier is melting. This robot is nicknamed “ICEFIN”, it swam more than a mile to the site where the glacier meets the sea at the ground site-where most melting is thought to be occurring.

Lead scientist for Icefin, Dr Britney Schmidt from Georgia Institute of Technology, said: ’We designed Icefin to be able to access the grounding zones of glaciers, places where observations have been nearly impossible, but where rapid change is taking place.

‘To have the chance to do this at Thwaites Glacier, which is such a critical hinge point in West Antarctica, is a dream come true for me and my team.

'The data couldn’t be more exciting.’
