Space Cadet is a science fiction timeline, written by Rvbomally (the author of Ad Astra Per Aspera and Vivere Militare Est) and originating on AlternateHistory.com. The TL can be summed up as a "sarcastic love letter to Science Fiction "- Essentially an attempt to play with, deconstruct and generally screw around with as many sci-fi tropes as is humanly possible.The main setting is the far future (exact date unclear, though possibly in the 40000s). Humanity has spread far away from Earth and conquered the galaxy. But all is not well. After a devastating rebellion by the Cog Lords, the ancient Second Empire of Man has been destroyed and replaced by dozens of smaller factions, fighting to reunite humanity. The two biggest are the Third Empire of Man, a brutal feudal dictatorship and the United Galactic Federation a fanatical, hypocritical revolutionary state. The superpowers are locked in a millennia-old state of cold war, enforced by their huge arsenals of superweapons.In the shadow of the superpowers, lesser states pursue their own goals. The militaristic Citizens Alliance and the colonialist United Dominions of Avelov both seek to expand into alien space, driving them to conflict. The corporations of the Consortium of Sovereign Systems work to maximise their profits. Alien empires try to profit from humanity's weakness. Standing for peace and unity is the Protectorate of Mankind, who send their loyal and dedicated agents, the Space Cadets to destroy all threats to humanity and keep the peace between the human powers. At least that's the theory.In practice, the Protectorate is a rotten, underfunded organisation, unable to make any serious progress for human unity. Left constantly deadlocked by nationalist rivalries and forced to rely upon the galaxy's criminals for recruits the Protectorate struggles to defend humanity. And with the Tick Swarm and the Universal Collective rampaging through human space, the Eldritch Stars throwing out new monstrosities and the Imperial Remnant destroying worlds for their own amusement, they have their work cut out for them. Not to mention that not all the Cog Lords have been destroyed... | |

| Space Cadet (Rvbomally) / int_109b036e | comment |
Abusive Precursors: For all that they are idolized by many in the modern galaxy, the Second Empire of Man was a brutal dictatorship with a fondness for fates worse than death. The First Empire was hardly better, having genetically engineered numerous human subspecies for the sole purpose of enslavement (or worse), and unleashing the Tick Swarm. | |

Hyperspace Is a Scary Place | |
| Space Cadet (Rvbomally) / int_204a1207 | comment |
Hyperspace Is a Scary Place: Hyperspace itself doesn't seem to be all that dangerous but another method of Faster Than Light travel is to go through The Void, an Eldritch Location full of malevolent entities. The Second Empire, despite being the most advanced civilization humanity ever produced, was unable to travel through it safely. The Imperial Remnant and the Duzhonev Imperium can pass safely but only because the Void entities like the suffering they cause. | |

Lightspeed Leapfrog: By the time the Generation Ships sent out at the end of the 21st century arrived at their destinations, galactic civilization had already risen and fallen several times. At least, that's what their descendants the United Colonial Authority believes; there's no way to know if they actually originated on the real pre-Ash Winter earth or are actually the product of the Second Empire's interdimensional experiments. | |

Space Age Stasis: Justified. While technology has continued to advance over the millennia since the War of The Cog Lords it has done so at an extremely slow pace and is still nowhere close to the level of the Second Empire. This is because technological progress has been deliberately restricted in order to ensure that the technologies which nearly destroyed humanity are never recreated. | |

Cybernetics Eat Your Soul: Averted, for the most part. The majority of the population of the Consortium are cyborgs and while many of them are less than moral people, this is largely unrelated to cybernetics. Played straight with the Collective, however. | |

Corrupt Church: Several examples. The Imperial Rationalist Church is more or less a part of the state and has used it's political power to stifle scientific development. The Rationalist Churches of the Vessel-States are heavily involved in politics and often use their spiritual as a means to make money. The Titanist Church of Avelov is highly ruthless and fanatical, with truly horrific fates in store for heretics. | |

Lotus-Eater Machine: The Hedonic Engines, virtual reality devices which would make their users fantasies appear to come to life. They become incredibly popular in the late Second Empire, with most of the population spending all their time inside them. Eventually the majority of became dedicated to nothing but pleasure having modified themselves to become incapable of feeling negative emotions. Unfortunately this meant they were totally defenceless when one of their AI's was accidentally modified to turn on them. | |

The Alliance is very similar to Bush era America The Coalition strongly resembles 1980's America The Directorate of Free States is very much like 1950's America | |

Fantastic Racism: All of the human great powers aside from the Solarians and Coalition discriminate against aliens to varying degrees and even the more liberal ones are prepared to exterminate any civilization which might pose a threat. The various human subspecies don't always have it easy either. The most extreme example, however, is the Duzhonev Imperium which kills anything that isn't baseline human. | |

Fantasy Counterpart Culture: Or rather, sci-fi counterpart culture. Most of the states which aren't expies are this: The United Dominions of Avelov to Victorian England and the Spanish Empire The Principality of Nomoki to Japan The Most Illustrious and Grand Duchy of the United Vessel States to Renaissance Italy, especially Venice. The Sokowuz Kingdoms to the Aztec and Mayan empires. The Empire to Tsarist Russia in some respects. The Directorate and Muskiev are both expies of the US and USSR during the 50s. Aeyrius Prime to Ireland. Yrrakis is one to the Modern Day Middle East, mainly Syria. | |

We Have Reserves: Since all the powers have billions of soldiers to draw upon,none are too concerned about their lives. The worst offenders however have to be the Federation and Duzhonev with their clone soldiers (in the latter case, the clones are considered so disposable that they are made without a digestive or reproductive system) and Sokowuz with it's slave soldiers. | |

Apocalypse How | |
| Space Cadet (Rvbomally) / int_91e894b4 | comment |
Apocalypse How: Many, many examples. The earliest known event in the backstory is the Ash Winter- a series of nuclear wars that left humanity crippled for thousands of years. Several human empires end up collapsing into civil war and warlordism, including the Solar Federation, the Terran Empire and the First Empire of Man. The worst and most recent of these collapses is the collapse of the Second Empire in the War of the Cog Lords. Over 90% of humanity was wiped out and the remainder were left in a far more primitive state. There are numerous planetary level apocalypses- worlds which have been stuck in barbarism following some catastrophe or other, worlds which have been destroyed by Imperial World Fortresses or Hyperlight weapons and worlds devastated by orbital bombardment. | |

Lizard Folk: The Kerdin, who were genetically engineered from cloned Velociraptors in order to provide interesting prey for the wealthy on hunting worlds. The collapse of the Second Empire allowed them to escape and found their own empire. | |

And I Must Scream: The fate of anyone unfortunate enough to be trapped in a Torment Engine- a virtual reality device designed for torture. The victim is subjected to their worst fears and has all of their psychological coping mechanisms disabled, while giving them the knowledge that they will be left there for eternity, with every minute as bad as the first. Luckily they all seem to have been destroyed in the War of the Cog Lords, although the Imperial Remnant may have some... | |

All Hail the Great God Mickey! | |
| Space Cadet (Rvbomally) / int_a8e5bc60 | comment |
All Hail the Great God Mickey!: The dominant religion in the Empire (and therefore most of the galaxy) is Rationalism, a monotheistic religion that worships scientific progress. Its holy text is heavily implied to be heavily altered translations of ancient (i.e. 21st century) Reddit threads, memes, and quotes from popular science advocates such as Bill Nye and Neil Degrasse Tyson. Similarly several religions view the sculpture of the Four Kings of Myhrk (Mount Rushmore) as a holy relic. | |

Fantasy Conflict Counterpart: There are quite a few major conflicts that are rather familiar The Tournament of Shadows is the Cold War, and is the main conflict as well The Yrrakis War is based on the Middle East Conflicts, mainly in Syria. The Arambi War is based on the Vietnam War, with the Empire taking the role of the USA The Imperial-Nomoki War was one to the Pacific Theatre of WW2, complete with the atomic annihilation of the enemy at the end. | |

Hobbes Was Right: The author has made it clear in a Journal Entry that in regard to the portrayals of the Empire and the Federation - and the entire premise of the setting - is based on the assumption that Humans are not only base, self-serving and flawed, its fundamental nature is immutable, meaning that Humanity cannot ever hope to transcend its limitations to become better, or otherwise be made better. It is for this reason that the Third Empire of Man, for all its faults, appears far less dysfunctional than the United Galactic Federation. | |

| Space Cadet (Rvbomally) / int_ed05cfee | comment |
Naïve Newcomer: The Interstellar Coalition only recently became a part of the wider galaxy and is generally rather more naive and idealistic than most other powers. Learning what a terrible place the rest of the galaxy is has started to change this, however. | |

Enforced Technology Levels | |
| Space Cadet (Rvbomally) / int_f7b57d62 | comment |
Enforced Technology Levels: The Uniform Machine Code bans the development of AI and is vigorously enforced by the Protectorate and the major powers. The lack of AI also prevents present day humanity from recreating the Second Empire's technology. | |

Ungovernable Galaxy | |
| Space Cadet (Rvbomally) / int_f995429b | comment |
Ungovernable Galaxy: The difficulty involved in directly controlling hundreds of thousands (or, in the case of the Empire and Federation, millions) of systems means that a lot of the galactic powers are very decentralized. Even powers such as Avelov and the Federation, who have an ideological commitment to imposing their system upon others are forced to allow their periphery systems to do their own thing. | |

The Remnant | |
| Space Cadet (Rvbomally) / int_f9c17447 | comment |
The Remnant: The Free Triumvirate and the Imperial Remnant could both be considered the last remnants of the Second Empire. Neither has much interest in restoring it however- the Triumvirate believes that the Empire was fatally flawed and decadent and the Remnant just wants to have fun | |

Loan Shark | |
| Space Cadet (Rvbomally) / int_fb5ab090 | comment |
Loan Shark: It is never a good idea not to pay back a loan from the Consortium. They can do a lot worse than take your house- as many Imperial lords have found out to their cost, they have no problems with repossessing entire planets, disassembling them into raw materials and selling the population into slavery. | |

Brain Uploading | |
| Space Cadet (Rvbomally) / int_fc52510 | comment |
Brain Uploading: Imprinting is a technology which allows a person's brain patterns to be uploaded to a different body. It was used extensively by the Second Empire but by the present day has fallen out of favour with most powers- except for the Consortium who use it for infiltration. | |

Bigger on the Inside: The ships of the Free Triumvirate are made of exotic matter, allowing them to be small on the outside but huge on the inside. | |

Feudal Future | |

Feudal Future: The Empire operates under a feudal system, with different families acting as lords of the various systems and sectors, with all ultimately being vassals to the Emperor. | |
