User:Etzan/The Katar Sector

Roight! I think it's about time that I write about my newest project, Katar Sector.

I often find that a problem in fiction is the fact that not many people know where there fiction actually is in relation to other empires. Now, I'm not referring to gargantuan fictions like the Draconid Imperium or the Delpha Coalition of Planets that are so easy to distinguish on a map it's almost comical.

It's the smaller fictions, those with several thousand star systems or less that show up only as a tiny speck on a galactic map. The Comet Republic on the Andromeda Galactic map is an example of this. The thing is, there are hundreds of thousands of these nations spread throughout the First Gigaquadrant, though they are severely underrepresented in our fiction. That's not exactly a problem until you realize that all of the small fictions, those just starting out, find themselves rather isolated from the cosmic neighborhood.

For one, they probably haven't developed the hyperdrive yet, which means they are constrained to the small segment of the galaxy to which they are native. They can engage in conversation with larger fictions, but these probably could not care less about these distant specks in the vast cosmic arena. They can reach out to other fictions similar in size, but they cannot teleport themselves from their established location (if they have one) to the other end of the galaxy just to participate in a story. I saw this happen once. I loved it. (And I'm not just being sarcastic, I genuinely enjoyed the thought of a tier 4 race spontaneously packing its bags and teleporting its planets to another part of the Galaxy.)

Before I start rambling on, let me get back to the subject-matter. The Katar Sector is an attempt to pin smaller fictions on a map once and for all. It is much easier to plan fictions, not just battles and wars (though those run much more smoothly this way), when you know exactly where your empire is relative to others. ''This map is frequently updated to reflect territorial changes. For example, since this map was made, the UCS has ceased to exist.'' If I'm interested, how do I get my fiction into the Katar Sector? Entry into the Katar Sector is open to anyone at the moment, new or old. However, I would like to stay away from admitting larger and more advanced fictions for now. They have entire galaxies to play with.

If you want to base your fiction out of the Katar Sector, that's great! We'll gladly have you. Just drop a message in the comments below or on my talk page or send me a message through IRC (my IRC username is Angrybirds).

If you want to create a new fiction based in the Katar Sector, then we have an idea for you. Once the Drakodominatus Tyranny is ousted from the Katar Sector, its territory will be fractured into a myriad of small states. Most of these will probably be written by Marines and myself, but we'll be more than glad to hand one of these over to you if it interests you.

'''My fiction was previously located in another part of the Milky Way, or even in another galaxy. Can I still join? If so, how?''' Well, this is where things get a little tricky. You can easily retcon yourself to the Katar Sector (meaning, as far as the story is concerned, your fiction has always been there), but if you've involved yourself in fiction with any other entities in that part of the galaxy or in another galaxy, then you'll have to check with them to see if your being based in the Katar Sector changes anything you've previously agreed on.

My fiction is big, can it still join? Hm. I tend to judge these on a case-by-case basis.

Anyways, if I've overlooked something or overstepped my bounds in some way, please leave a comment down below, and I'll try to address it!

Take care! Angrybirds.
