This article may or may not be deleted. -.-


Sources & inspirations:

1. 'Aliens' film.

2. 'Blade Runner' film.

3. Elite, Frontier & related computer games.

4. GURPS books.

GURPS Books are more than just 'stupid and useless game mechanics without mood' - these are great sources of ideas usable in the fictional world(s) creation for the roleplaying purposes & needs.


5. Real life Astronomy & Physics books, and Space Atlas.

'Space Atlas, Second Edition: Mapping the Universe and Beyond' by James Trefil.	Award winning educational book: 'Physics & Astronomy for everyone' by Barbara Sagnowska.	'Astronomy for everyone' by Detlev Block.

What is 'parsec' ?
... 'parallax of one second', unit of length. / pl: 'paralaksa jednej sekundy', jednostka odległości /.

Use of real sciences and words can add to realism, feelings, and overall nice game experience.
