The Dandelion Project
Foreword:
The Dandelion Galaxy, so far, took me more than a hundred hours to make, including the map itself, writing storylines for each Empire inhabiting it, making those Empires, combining mods and doing the graphic design all around: so please comment your thoughts and ideas and share this with people who would like to collaborate on this.
A few months ago I made a first post about the project called "Discover together the Dandelion Galaxy!", you can look that one up in the sub and read for more of the lore and stuff.
I'm currently searching for a new partner who will work with me on making the static map and a map generator in the image of the Dandelion (meaning having actual defined trade routes and undiscovered and shrouded regions in a galaxy). I'm also looking for two more persons for two secondary projects that are regarding a GalCom capital planet and a few new Origins and preset empires. I'm not a modder and you would have to make the mod itself, I can only provide the graphic design.
Anyone actually capable and interested can hit me up via Email DandelionStellaris@gmail.com. I wanna add that this is a non-paid project, don't bother contacting me if you won't do it for the fun of it!
About the Dandelion Galaxy:
The Dandelion is a vast and beautiful barred spiral galaxy, named by the first pioneers who ventured beyond the outer rim. From the distant void, they were the first to ever watch the galaxy in its entirety. It resembled an ageing dandelion with its violet edges slowly drifting away into the darkness, as if caught in a gentle breeze. The old name - Milkyway - was quietly forgotten and erased on all maps. This was when we first saw behind the galactic core and discovered the Shrouded Regions.
Most Noteworthy Regions:
The Shrouded Regions: The Shrouded Regions are the withering part of the Dandelion. It's a wound that won't heal, it will either drift away or tear the galaxy apart. The only way through the Shrouded Regions is the Ralis Corridor, named after the great city of Ralis, the only known alive planet inside the region. Psionic energy levels are the highest in all of the galaxy and the Shroud's veil is thinner here than anywhere else. Some planets contain oribtial debris and sensors found traces of ancient structures on their grounds, but all of those planets are engulfed in psionic storms: Shrouded Worlds.
Free Worlds: The galactic heart or galactic crossroad is part of the Galactic Free State space and under GalCom oversight, it is an open space for all of the galaxy. At its center lies the city of Meritair, where infinite worlds come together as one community.
Grand Rim: The Grand Rim once was home to ancient empires who fought a catastrophic war that left the region in pieces. Every parsec further south of the Calluna Belt und deeper inside the Grand Rim will be less order and more chaos and debris. The Empires inside this region are a large mix of forcibly enlightened primitives, left behind clone armies and other that lurk in the remains of the war. Fallen shadows of the Ancients reside within the Grand Rim too - they are sleeping, but only with one eye.
Calluna Belt: The largest hyperspace route in the galaxy, it reaches from the Galactic Capital, Meritair, all around the galax and connects most regions other smaller routes.
Imperial Space: At the end of the Imperial Route lies the endless city of Demeda, namegiver and capital to the Confederacy of Demeda. The region once was a free haven for all, the even brighter twin of Cordae (capital of the Commonwealth and to the right of the galactic center). Today it is an isolated region and sceptical of the GalCom's agenda.
The Little Hamiter: This region of the Dandelion slowly grew into its own rightfull sector and a fresh land of opportunities and riches. Only the brave and stupid will move there, most will become slaves to their lenders and merchant guilds.
Most Noteworthy Empires:
- The Confederacy of Demeda
- The Galactic Commonwealth
- The Galactic Free State
- The Hellas Republic -> later United Republics
- Congregation of Quartali
