Pax Galaxia, a new approach

[Fable]

One of the things I struggle with in making my stories is storyline development.  It’s actually really hard.  One area that always troubled me was the title and though I liked Pax Nebula as the name it really did not jive with what I was trying to do.   Honestly I just thought it sounded cool.  In rethinking Pax Nebula and how I would create stories I decided to scrap a lot of the old development and attempt to keep it simple.  Thats the other place I tend to bog down and never actually create anything.  Hon’Raa is like that right now.  It is so big and I am struggling to pull it all together.  It is just me.

Pax was my original story by a few months and though I have developed them both with characters, stories, etc  But, for each I have to get back to basics.  I have decided I have to create smaller chucks of the story so I can at least get something out there.  I am frustrated by it though I am certain no one is actually waiting on anything from me.

For Pax Galaxia, I have a clear idea the path ahead for the story and the main characters.  The original idea for the story has changed a bot but many of  characters and storyline ideas have not changed.

What has changed?

Aside from the name change to Pax Galaxia (PG), the story will be more episode based with an overarching theme rather than a linear story where all things are interconnected.  Essentially, Terran space is in turmoil.  Though the Maj’araan have withdrawn for reasons yet unknown to the Terran Alliance, they are are still reeling from the war.  Even more ominous is that Maj have infected the droids that served the terrans with a viral agent making them attack any and all terrans.  Overtime the reader will learn that the uprising is less about a viral agent and more that the droids are now aware of their servitude and want to be free.

Another thing that has changed is that there are not a lot of other alien races.  In the beginning of PG, it is just the Maj and Terrans.  Other species are mentioned, but will not be introduced for a while.  This presented an overwhelming task of  creating the race, their unique cultures, outfits, ships, etc…  It is just too much for one person to manage.  I will intro races but they may be sprinkled in to start as an escaped slave or bounty hunter or something like that.  The Primes, as they were known, may eventually come about but it wont be anytime soon.

The enemy within idea is better for me.  With most of the Maj withdrawing, Terran factions begin to emerge for control of what’s left of humanity.  The Terran Alliance is tested and this turmoil creates opportunities for episode based adventures.  Those adventures will be led by LC Adley Reese (same main character) as her and her crew are tasked with bringing peace to the known galaxy – thus Pax Galaxia.  Her ship the Nebulan (a nod to the previous name of the story) is central to the story.
