Star Wander: The First Generation
Ok I'll admit im rilly bord. How Bord I thought this up while playing the space stage in Spore. The Race is Falcats. They are a flying cat/falcon like race and I might post some screan caps of them and the ship if this generates intrest.
So yah this is the story of the first Falcat in space, Captain Black Pelt. Its also just the story version of me playing Spore, done like a captains log in Star Trek. I think it has potential go go somewhere. All things that I havent personaly made are the property of EA.

I hate sitting through lectures, especially stupid ones. Prof Red Wing always gives stupid lectures. This one was about weather or not aliens existed, and if they did what might they look like, act like, and if they were able to build stuff like we could. I rolled my eyes countless times during this lecture. My family, the Pelt family has a saying, "If you want to know, go and look."
Apparently I said this out loud at one point because the Prof was suddenly raving in my face I believe his words were, "Oh? Why should I go and look? You are the one who clearly has no desire to be here, Black Pelt. So why don't you go look? You will only have to invent a viable space craft, and then explore countless systems until you find a plaint capable of life, and then pray to the gods that it has taken root there."
And because I'm an idiot, and cant back down from a fight I stood up from my desk, leveled a finger at the Prof and replied, "You know what Prof? I'll go and do just that!" Then snapped open my wings and with a leap flew out the roof exit. Flying has always helped me calm down, I thank the gods that they gave us wings, though the transition from feathers to fur is a bit disturbing to me. I made a few laps around the campus before finally landing at the dorms and finding my room. So now I have to invent space flight or loose my standing in society, what little I have. Prefect.

White Stripe came by after the lecture ended. Shi said that some of hir friends thought that I was really cool to accept that challenge. They are also going to help me out if they can. White Stripe said that if I could get a vehicle of some kind to let hir know and shi would have hir mechanic friend come over and we would start making it air tight.
Its nice of them to offer help with the impossible.

It was a long day. I finally found something a could afford to use as the base for the impossible ship. Long story short, I have a 15 tear old camper with weird carpeting and an interior that smells like it was used one to many times for mating.
The cool part was White wasn't joking, I called hir up for a laugh and shi actually came over and helped me smuggle the camper into the University's mechanics hall. Hir friend Green Eyes arrived shortly after that and we spent the day striping everything out of the camper until all we had was the metal shell, wires, and other hardware.
Tomorrow were going to get to work on making the camper its self work. The idea is if we can get some wings on it, and some good turbines we could get it to fly. And from there.. well we have no idea.

Well we have it drivable. There is a single seat for a driver, a sheet metal floor, walls and roof, and only two doors on the sides for entry and exit. The doors we made stick out a bit cause we realized that the vacuum of space wold suck everything out unless we used an airlock, like in a submersible. White and Green have some of their other friends working on producing some simple wings for it. In the mean time I'm supposed to figure out how to get two military grade turbines. Boxy campers aren't very aerodynamic.... and the amount of power we will need to lift the thing off the ground is staggering. I'm going to post a flier in the cafeteria. Maybe some science major has something he would like to test out.

I cant believe my luck! A couple of grungy looking guys came over to my table at lunch today and said that they had figured out a way to negate gravity, and that that would make my sip fly no problem. I laughed a first but after a quick trip to the science hall they proved it. Somehow they made an actual gravity canceling device, an it can fit into a normal sized shipping box!
These guys were brilliant, the best part was they gave it to me. Free. Its incredible! I asked why and they said "If we sell it to the military, we will never see it again. If we let you have it, we are helping with something cool. Besides were all a bunch of nerds into a certain space show."
"Star Wander? Your all a bunch of Wanderers?" I asked.
The showed me official club ID's... I would say that they were way to into the show and should join the military if they wanted to see exotic places and fight threats to the homeland.... But I'm building a space ship in my spare time. Black Pelt, the space cadet! Besides they offered to help with the propulsion system, as it turns out the Nulgravgen can only make something go up. On the plus side if the polarity is reversed it will generate gravity so I wont be floating about the ship.
I just realized that I didn't get their names.

Its finished. I haven't had time to wright in this thing for a long time, what with my military training exams, Oh I made cadet... And now everyone is calling me Space Cadet. Which sucks. But ill show them White, Green, Brown and I finally got the camper Air tight, all the systems are operational. We have just the seat and the controls inside but we realized that after achieving orbit and landing we will have funding for whatever we want. Brown and his crew, heh my crew now, got some half turbine/half ionic thruster motors working and we mounted them to the hull under the wings.
I was elected Captain of this ship... and the only guy, gal or herm, who will be in it in space for a number of reasons. Its my challenge, I'm the only one who knows how to fly a plane, and I agreed to, as founder of the space program have the set up from the show Star Wander used... with this ship at least.
Everything is set for a launch. But first we need a name for the camper which fits. Personally I think ill call it the Lone Star.
