As much fun as it might be to try to tie Myth into the Marathon universe, not only are they very different stories - one based on mysticism and the other on science fiction - but a rogue star is a very different thing from a comet. A comet is a part of our own solar system that consists of rock and ice, and has a very eliptical orbit around the sun, which is why they make periodic appearances. A rogue star is truly a nuclear furnace that probably originated in another galaxy altogether and, through some cataclysm such as a colision with another galaxy, was thrown out of its galaxy to wander the universe on its own. Periodically, such stars are attracted by the gravitational pulls of other galaxies, occasionally being captured in the process, but often passing right through them. And this rogue star has a planet - a "ruined world" associated with it! Imagine what we could find there. Was the world ruined by the cataclysm that started the star on its journey, or was it ruined by war? What artifacts of ancient civilizations might we find here? Could there still be evil lurking in the shadows? Yes, I know that the new planet idea has been used in other scenarios, but these had some tie-in to the Marathon universe - the progenitors of the Pfhor in Marathon Evil and the progenitors of the S'pht in Pfh'Joueur. This rogue world would be from outside of our galaxy with no connection to our own. To put things in perspective, the nearest galaxy to our own is 10 times farther from us than the center of our own - I doubt that the Pfhor have been there. Lot's of possibilities . . . | |
