I'm going to offer myself up as a possible coordinator, whats the worst that could happen? -nuclear explosions in the background-

1. For a general skeleton I picture something like a essay format in that it would have a introductory part, three to five 'body' time periods, and then a conclusion part. I imagine that the introductory part would be peaceful with only diplomatic or political interactions between non-native participants. This would be a background setup in which all participating fictions would be introduced in some way, shape, or form (even if it's just a secretive or insubstantial mentioning) and the region is described to the reader. The main storyline would have 3-5 subsections that each span either a period of time (preferably) or a major series of events (in which case dates would be needed and links to events happening at the same time but in a different series would be used for chronological navigation). These events could be wars, natural events, or large unexpected incidents. I will clarify that I prefer a chronological storyline where each section directly continues the story from the last section. As for the conclusion, it would be the cooldown or aftermath of the overall conflict, and maybe a bit of hinting at future fictions to be spawned from this.

2. I'm not entirely sure how this is different from the first question, but I'll do my best. I imagine this starting similar to the European Rush for Africa. It would start with lots of powerful nations controlling similarly sized territories and over the course of the story only about half would retain their starting territories (though I expect that all of them would retain some territory in the region). The aftermath could either be dividing the territory up between the victors or perhaps a final 'Great Battle' between the various major powers. I hope to have native life (or at least, some entity that colonized the region prior to the arrival of everyone else) so as to create a starting nation that everyone can interact with in the beginning and thus show their mindset towards others in the region.

3. College has just kicked in for me about a week ago, so I won't have a massive amount of time to spend on this, however, I should be able to get in around and hour or two each day, at the very least 2-3 hours every 2 days. If I can't manage that much I'll drop out of coordinate position and someone with more time can take over.

Regardless of if I get coordinate or not, I'd like to offer Mecholife as the species/entity that exists there prior to others, since there are currently rumors of Mecholife that can access hyperspace, and if it has an energy source (which I assume it does) Mecholife would become invasive to the region. And regardless of approval of Mecholife being there already or not, I will be using the Union of Mecholife as my fiction in this story, since my other fictions aren't advanced enough for hyperspace.
