Seek the Wolf in Thyself!
Notes I wrote that explained the homeworlds of each of the Star Frontiers non-human races. I only got to the Vrusks when I started writing this. The Vrusk Homeworld – Klick’Ra – was a warm world with deserts and swamps and warm jungles. The Vrusks grew into the industrial age fairly quickly and before they…
Another short story I wrote in early college. Once again, not very original, but I thought it had some character.
“You did what, captain?” The comlink to Imperial Terran Law cruise Wyatt Earp was fuzzy and had a long delay, despite being a subspace link. The Siren System is really active today. “Commander, let’s just say I cut through a lot of red tape. You know, arrest reports, impound records, lawyers, shit like that. I…
The Roulies were large bipedal primitives with amazing hunting instincts of their own. They looked like a humanoid mix of a wolf and a boar. They were savage. But the Science Council believed that they had great potential to be a powerful people like humans one day. Yea, powerful enough to find a million ways…

Drie’a was amazed the captain got to the ship so fast. The main gun took out the sailing vessels fairly quickly and the land forces retreated once that happened. If Drie’a had thought about it, he would have slaved the weapons systems to his implants too but they did not expect life, let alone hostile…
H’ia was running all the protocols and regulations through his head. What if there is sentient life here? What is first contact protocols? We aren’t prepared for this. We are simply a recon scout team – observe and report back. The last war left the Thinkers and the Council nervous. Now we observe first, let…
Replace We were lost. I knew one little mistake in the astrogation plotting would put us somewhere else in the ass-end of this galaxy. Probably was some ashes from my Bilarian Cigars. Cap has always told me that they would be the death of me but I ignored him. This time, it might be true….
