Lost Galaxy is a universe where humanity faces a number of challenges stretching from it's first reach for the ...

One of the key gameplay mechanics in LG is going to be the Jump Gate/Jump Drive transit system. The story and history behind the whole system will be fleshed out later. For now, this...

Ok, this is the first part of the history of a sci-fi universe I'm creating for a friend who is trying his hand at game coding/design.
