This is the main site for all the information which collectively makes up and defines the Solas Tempus universe. Our main site is here where we list a variety of services as well as our forum.

If you're looking for some information regarding how we manage the setting and aspects of play, please check out our OOC Category where articles about how to deal with things like time travel and living in space are addressed from a story writing and role playing perspective.
Parts of the Setting
The universe is made up of some distinct parts.
- Background
- These items are usually written up to provide context or otherwise define parts of a story. Sometimes background items are just bits of writing about a character; maybe a vignette or something similar. They may or may not later be incorporated into a story but usually we keep them around for reference. Most of the technology, places, organizations, and documents provided here actually fall under this category. Vignettes or other stories are more likely to be posted elsewhere, such as the forum or the blog Shadows of Firelight.
- Stories
- Written stories, usually not posted here. They too are usually posted to the forum of the Shadows of Firelight blog.
- Role Plays
- Role playing going on, which sometimes does turn into or enhance stories. Most of this takes place on the forum or on our chat room.
Style
Information here is largely posted in an in universe style unless it is noted otherwise.
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. Mix 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.
Thank you.
