Warp Space: Original Concept

By Timothy Rodgers

In Warp Space, players struggle to make progress against an overaggressive Empire. Emperor Eyeshin Kivlion XXXIII is the cruelest ruler the Empire has experienced since the First Emperor. Sometimes the Empire brings justice, showing up to assist weaker societies against swiftly growing rivals. In other times, the tasks laid out by the Empire in return for such favor are impossible to achieve in many situations.

Players in this Massive Multiplayer Online Application will compete for supremacy with other players and the Emperor, until the Emperor is overthrown. Once he is overthrown, the leader of the war will take his throne. The Emperor is not alone in managing the Empire. He has six faithful paragons that have ascended through the Diplomatic Ranks of the Empire. Once an Emperor is unseated, the paragons in power are demoted and replaced. Periods of peace will enable a brief re-build time frame, both for players and the Empire. When the game launches, it will start by having twelve galaxies within the known universe.

Gene Roddenberry had Star Trek, George Lucas had Star Wars, I have Warp Space.

This eBook goes along with a custom designed HTML interface web page that helps illustrate the sense of the game. This idea is inspired by an old internet text based game called Archspace. Concept is available to licensing agreements. I am reserving rights for future franchise development. This will have an eBook series to complement the lore of the game.

I am a simple guy dealing with some complicated issues.I believe there should be no compromise when it comes to the Bill of Rights. People are supposed to be the focal point of our Republic.I now utilize the tenth amendment to state that the U.S. Government is unfit to remain in authority or represent justice. Per the tenth amendment, the will of the people is to come before anything to include special interest groups and political parties. We all have the right to have a government that represents us. This government clearly and openly does not.Every rights violation committed either by someone or something to include governments, is an act of war. There are many ways to attack others without the use of violence. I have been through and continue to endure that relentless experience myself. Such violations are often protected by law even though they are outside the purpose of government to begin with.Perception: Govt. is doing it's job taking care of disabled veterans.Reality: Veteran suicides at epidemic levels because so many being left without.Perception: EPA protects the environment and cares about our safety. If they say the water is safe to drink, it must be.Reality: Fracking is causing earthquakes and the people who consume the post processed water they are told is safe to drink, face severe physical health effects.Perception: If the government tells someone's family they committed suicide in jail, it must always be the truth.Reality: Sometimes someone paid someone else who could create the opportunity to kill the victim who is believed to have taken their own life. People use the government in this fashion to get away with murder all the time. No one looks for a killer when everyone thinks the victim did it to themselves. Easily, one of the cruelest and unjust forms of social selection.Perception: Money acting as free speech helps entrepreneurs advertise.Reality: Money unconstitutionally acting as a "legal" form of free speech is effectively silencing the voices of common people within both the advertising markets and the government.Perception: If the U.S. Govt. came into contact with E.T.s, they would tell the public about it. They have to, why wouldn't they? Reality: U.S. Govt has been aware of other advanced life for over 70 years. It was decided that such information would be kept classified and secret before Admiral Byrd could even return from the Antarctic Expedition known as Operation: High Jump. Around that time was when what was our once Constitutional Republic, first became compromised.

Premise

This application will be a space age fleet command game. There is an empire that contends for supremacy against all the other systems. Many of the systems have alliances; however, most of them will not be able to challenge the Empire on their own.

At the launch of this game, there will be a mad A.I. Emperor. He will not begin attacking players until they hit what I am going to label Red Imperial Threat. Players who will be the rulers of their systems, will have a reputation with the Empire. Those who have great reputations will only be asked to maintain their loyalty. Those who do not cater to the tasks or taxes, get targeted.

Players that get high enough up in military power, will be able to challenge the Emperor for control of the Empire. With the vast planet pool of the Empire, it builds fleets quickly and often gets involved in conflict. Once a player takes control of the Empire, they must defend themselves from all others who challenge their supremacy on the throne. Those who have high reputation with the Empire, remain enticed to be loyal to it's leaders.

The Emperor will have six paragons below him that will help him run the Empire. Players who want to become a paragon, pretty much just play around Imperial reputation. Should a player who serves the Empire turn on it, reputation will be left next to nothing after direct contact. AI paragons will be in place and will end up full of players before the first new emperor.

This is a fleet based battle strategy game. Players will build star ships in massive fleets. Some of these ships will be made for colonization with specific bonuses and others are strictly for combat. Many players will be able to play and grow defensively while attackers aggressively seize planets from others. The more planets a player has control of, the stronger their economic
