It takes place on the other side of the galaxy from our solar system, marked by the yellow dot and the word ‘Sol’.

That means Sol Solar system. A designation I first heard decades ago in an old science fiction book.

basic premise, ancient civilizations, future civilizations Thats the basic premise of this game and my site.

Starship travel thousands of years from now. With memories of lost solar systems, lost empires, and lost civilizations.

That doesn’t mean such peoples would be contemporary with the 21st century on Earth.

It means sometime in our future, starships come into use.

Of course, that means a number of scientific breakthroughs, or, some fiction writing.

I’ve opted for the fiction writing. Cheaper to.

My Galactic Arms are located on the other side of the Milky Way Galaxy, and in a zone unphotographed by anyone on Earth.

I’ll be working on myths for the planets I’ve drawn.

Starship Wanderer: About This set of drawings is about an idea I had many years ago to sit down and draw a massive starship capable of travelling the galaxy at sub-light speeds. I soon realized that just me drawing it by hand would take several lifetimes. This was in 1970.

So I put it to one side. Those paper and pencil drafting-type drawings are lost.

I found Profantasy’s mapping software and started drawing my old AD&D first edition campaign and putting it up on a web site. This would have been about 1999.

After a year or so of that, I found a few pages in a box depicting this star ship.

I saw that Profantasy had an add-on that could assist me in drawing deckplans and entire starships.

I purchased the software and made a few drawings.

Work took up much of my time, and I spent most of my spare time working on my Crestar, my AD&D first edition website.

When Cosmographer Pro was updated to work with Campaign Cartographer 3, I downloaded it, and started mapping.

As I have time I’ll update the drawings here.
