The Starlore Legacy | comment |
The Starlore Legacy is an ongoing twelve-book sci-fi novel series by Christian author Chuck Black. It's a space opera in the Standard Sci Fi Setting (in-universe, the Aurora Galaxy). The twist is that Starlore is an allegory of the Bible (and, presumably, human history in the A.D. period), so most of the characters, places, and events represent characters, places, and events in the Bible. Unlike Chuck Black's more famous Kingdom Series, Starlore isn't a very strict allegory (for the most part), with more focus being given to the eponymous Starlore family and their adventures than the exact replication of Biblical events. There are six Starlore books in print as of May 2024 (NOVA, FLIGHT, LORE, OATH, MERCHANT, and RECLAMATION). The remaining unwritten titles in the series are CREED, JOURNEY, CRUCIBLE, COVENANT, REVOLUTION, and MAELSTROM. Audiobook versions of each finished book are also available. | |

Applied Phlebotinum/Green Rocks: the mineral omeganite and the omegeon particle that it releases. The all-powerful Protector runs on and gains its powers from a single omeganite crystal. Omegeon particles also have the ability to destroy particles of Deitum Prime. | |

Fantastic Firearms: The plasma rifle. Yes, it's a Ray Gun, but if you look at the schematic for it in LORE, you'll see a weapon that is basically a boxy, sci-fi-styled version of a modern-day assault rifle. It has an easily-recognizable optic (albeit a holographic one) and even loads from a magazine (which is actually a giant battery). | |

Downplayed in NOVA and FLIGHT. The government of Jypton is just The Empire—an authoritarian superstate that controls only one planet.

The Starlore Legacy / int_56855fa3 | comment |
Casual Interstellar Travel: Slipstream conduits. In theory, these tunnels through spacetime aren't necessary, since faster-than-light spacecraft are ubiquitous. The purpose of the conduits is to shield FTL ships from the effects of Time Dilation—which makes them absolutely vital. Travellers constantly use the galactic network of conduits to travel between and within star systems (the first time they're used in the series is to travel between the planet Jypton and one of its moons). | |

Counterpart Artifacts: The Protector and the Triad are essentially yin and yang to each other. The same appears to be true for the Protector and the Destroyer, Dracus' weapon in the last fight in MERCHANT, although so little information is given about it that it's hard to tell for sure. | |

Meaningful Name | |
The Starlore Legacy / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: In true Chuck-Black-allegory fashion, many of the names in Starlore are thinly-veiled modifications of the Biblical and historical names which they represent. If you're Biblically literate, try guessing some of them now: Jypton, Rayl, Mesos, Kayn, Ianis, Reekojah, Luas, Zedeka, Rimiah, Llyon, Zar, Ashpen, Azzar, Moria, Fasa Kylos, Pylok, Jeshu, Codemus, Kalem Archeus, Galec, and C'fir Apollus Dracus.note Egypt, Israel, Mesopotamia, Canaan, Sinai, Jericho, Saul, Zedekiah, Jeremiah, Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar, Ashpenaz, Belshazzar, Rome, Caiaphas, Pilate, Jesus, Nicodemus, Michael the Archangel, Gabriel, and Satan (Lucifer, Apollyon, and dragon) Several names are also borrowed from Hebrew, including: Ell Yon, the allegory for God. 'Elyon is Hebrew for "most High" (one of God's titles). Malakians, the allegory for angels. Malak is Hebrew for "angel." The Ruah, the allegory for the spirit realm as described in the Bible. Ruach is Hebrew for spirit. In LORE, Admiral Bostra submits Daeson to what he calls "the test of Yashar" (a fancy name for a Deitum-Prime scan). Jashar or jasher is Hebrew for "truth." | |

Now Do It Again, Backwards: At the end of FLIGHT, Raviel's Starcraft is hit by an enemy missile and sent flying out the side of a slipstream conduit at light speed. In the next book, she is recovered by Daeson and Tig, but is suffering from an illness brought on by the time paradox which her FTL accident created. Teen Genius Avidan calculates that the only way to stabilize her is to take her back through the same conduit where her accident happened, except in the opposite direction. | |

Designated Girl Fight: In FLIGHT, Linden challenges Daeson to a duel with Talons being the only weapon. Raviel takes Daeson's Protector, while Linden hands his Triad over to Xandra, with the understanding that neither Immortal weapon is to be used. But then Xandra plays dirty and uses the Triad anyway, prompting Raviel to step in and fight her with the Protector while the men continue their swordfight. During the Fireball competition in LORE, Raviel again takes on the only female combatant, Kamla. | |

Awesome Personnel Carrier: the Ground Screamer, a WIG plane designed and deployed by the Rayleans in LORE. While technically an airplane, this vehicle is closer to an Awesome Personnel Carrier than a Drop Ship because it is only capable of flying very low to the ground and functions much more like a standard APC than an aerial troop transport. | |

Magic Must Defeat Magic: The few times a Triad makes an appearance, it always overpowers standard human weapons easily. Only a Protector is powerful enough to defeat it. | |

Robot War | |
The Starlore Legacy / int_bb44f503 | comment |
Robot War: the long-past A.I. Wars, when humans allowed artificially-intelligent androids to proliferate and gain so much intelligence that they turned against humanity. The androids conquered almost the entirety of the Aurora Galaxy, leaving the remainder of humanity isolated on a few small star systems, before a hero named Elias Boson discovered a way to defeat them and reclaim the Galaxy. Heavily implied to be an allegory of Noah's Flood. | |

My Species Doth Protest Too Much: Most A.I. androids are murderous, bloodthirsty human-haters. Rivet, however, becomes a loyal companion and protector to Daeson and Raviel the moment he meets them. Of course, in his case, there is a special reason for this change of heart... | |

Kinetic Weapons Are Just Better: In OATH, the Llyonian Shriek fighters that Daeson and his friends get to fly feature plasma cannons and missiles but also low-power cobalt machine guns. These smaller guns end up becoming the weapon of choice for the heroes, who use them to shoot down other planes without killing the pilots outright. | |

Impossibly Cool Weapon: The Talon. It's a sword with a blade made of liquid metal held together by a Deadly Force Field that is Sharpened to a Single Atom and incinerates anything it touches. Plus, it can shorten to the length of a dagger for easy close-combat use. Plus, it can collapse its blade completely and turn into a blaster. | |

Archaic Weapon for an Advanced Age | |
The Starlore Legacy / int_ddcc22c3 | comment |
Archaic Weapon for an Advanced Age: The Talon. Already ancient when the story begins, yet still a viable weapon, the Talon is a collapsible sword with a blade made from a liquid-metal composite and surrounded by a Deadly Force Field called a stasis field. For a bit of extra usefulness, it can also transform into a low-power blaster pistol. | |

Urban Segregation: There's a clear line dividing between the cities on Jypton and their attached Drudgetowns in NOVA and FLIGHT, as well as between the Raylean cities and their Rims (outer slum areas) in RECLAMATION. Justified in the Jyptonian case because the Drudgetowns are the designated homes for all of the slaves and ne'er-do-wells. | |
