Copyright
It should go without saying but there are a lot of elements here I do not own, but I do use. My use of them is meant as a tribute to their creators. In particular Star Trek, Star Wars, Firefly, Battlestar Galactica, and Babylon 5. In my writing I have mixed elements from these and other sources onto a canvas originally painted in terms of Star Trek. There is some original work here, however, so for the things I have created with my mishmash of science fiction and such, I do request that if you're going to use or reference it at least let me know and give me credit.
Attribution
When writing things based on someone else's work, keep in mind that you're not the creator of it. Attribution is important! Please do not add work that you know for a fact is protected under copyright by another party without permission. Even when you're free to use it, give attribution to where you got the content from. People work hard on their content and deserve to be noted for it.
Violations of Copyright
Most of us know what is and is not under copyright, but if you don't... Ask someone. You can contact the site admin by contacting Cyclops via email at cyclops@moltenaether.com.
If you are visiting this page because someone has infringed on your copyright... We apologize, please use the above links and inform us of the problem and we will rectify the situation.
Using our Content
We have put a lot of work into the content here that is ours. All of our players have contributed characters, changes to the setting, ships, space stations, and the like. Even though many of the ships and stations use conventions found in other franchises, and we appreciate those creators for making them, we would prefer if someone else were to use our content - they give us attribution for it.
It is enough to drop a link to our source Wiki in with attributed work. On our Talk Pages for a given entry, we will often include what our source material is as well.
