MITRAX GALAXY TIMELINE INITIAL CONSTRUCTION
ESSENTIAL GUIDELINES AND NOTES FOR CONSTRUCTING THE MITRAX GALAXY TIMELINE
* THE MITRAX GALAXY TIMELINE GAINS ITS INITIAL FORMATION FROM ROUGH DRAFTS OF THE ORIGINAL MITRAX GALAXY AND REVERSE-INTERPRETING THE TRIANGULUM TIMELINE. CLEARLY, THE TRIANGULUM TIMELINE IS AN EVOLUTION OF THE MATERIAL AND DIFFERS FROM THE ORIGINAL MITRAX GALAXY TIMELINE.
* IN ORDER TO DIVORCE THE MITRAX GALAXY TIMELINE FROM THE ALPHA SECTOR, OMEGA SECTOR, AND THE MAGELLANIC CLOUD, THE YEAR-NUMBERS WILL BE REPRESENTED WITH AN M (FOR MITRAX), NOT A Y (FOR YEAR). IT MAKES SENSE THAT THE MITRAX GALAXY WOULD USE THEIR OWN NAMING CONVENTIONS TO TRACK YEARS. THEREFORE, A SPECIFIC M-DATE MAY NOT NECESSARILY CORRESPOND WITH A Y-DATE IN OTHER PUBLISHED MATERIAL.
* THE MITRAX GALAXY IS DIVIDED INTO A WESTERN QUADRANT AND AN EASTERN QUADRANT
* THE MITRAX GALAXY IS DIVIDED INTO YOUNG RACES AND OLD RACES
* THE STARTING POINT FOR THE FORMATION OF THE MITRAX GALAXY TIMELINE ARE THE MAJOR WARS AND CONFLICTS. THESE ARE IMPORTANT MARKERS AND SIGN POINTS FOR WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE MITRAX GALAXY DURING ANY GIVEN TIME PERIOD.
* TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS AND BREAKTHROUGHS WILL BE ADDED TO THE MITRAX GALAXY TIMELINE AT A LATER DATE
* THE HELGARDIANS, WORLDS OF UNIONS, AND MALLARANS ARE FEATURED IN BOTH TRIANGULUM AND THE ORIGINAL MITRAX GALAXY. THE IMPERIUM IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT IN THE ORIGINAL MATRIX GALAXY. MY VERSIONS OF THE HELGARDIANS, WORLDS OF UNIONS, AND MALLARANS WILL BE SUBSTANTIALLY DIFFERENT FROM WHAT WAS PRESENTED IN THE TRIANGULUM PLAYTEST MODULE.
* SOME OF THE UNPUBLISHED TRIANGULUM MATERIAL WILL BE REVERSE-CONVERTED TO FIT INTO THE MITRAX GALAXY. THIS ASSUMES THE EMPIRE HAS UNIQUE TECHNOLOGY THAT ALLOWS THEM TO STAND ON THEIR OWN AND BE WORTHY OF TACTICAL PLAY. IF AN UNPUBLISHED TRIANGULUM EMPIRE IS SIMPLY A RENAMING OR RESHUFFLING OF AN ORIGINAL MITRAX GALAXY EMPIRE, IT WILL NOT BE USED.
* THE UNPUBLISHED TRIANGULUM MATERIAL INCLUDED A VERY FAINT SIDE REFERENCE TO THE ANDROMEDANS. I DEFINITELY DO NOT WANT THE ANDROMEDANS TO INVADE THE MITRAX GALAXY AS THEY DID THE ALPHA SECTOR AND THE OMEGA SECTOR. HOWEVER, IT MAY BE POSSIBLE TO INCLUDE THIS SIDE REFERENCE AS LONG AS IT IS KEPT VAGUE.
* THE TRIANGULUM PLAYTEST MODULE ONLY INCLUDED 4 SCENARIOS WRITTEN BY FRANCOIS ANGERS. THERE IS NO RECORD OF ANY SCENARIOS WRITTEN BY HIM FOR THE ORIGINAL MITRAX GALAXY. THIS IS WOEFULLY INADEQUATE TO DESCRIBE THE ENTIRETY OF THE MITRAX GALAXY TIMELINE. A FLOOD OF MITRAX GALAXY SCENARIOS IS THEREFORE WARRANTED IN THE FUTURE. SCENARIOS ARE THE LIFEBLOOD OF STAR FLEET BATTLES AS THEY ALLOW PLAYERS TO REENACT HISTORICAL EVENTS ON A TACTICAL BATTLEFIELD.
* THE MORE I REVIEW AND EXAMINE THE ORIGINAL MITRAX GALAXY MATERIAL, THE MORE CONVINCED I AM DOING THE RIGHT THING IN TRYING TO BRING BACK FRANCOIS’ ORIGINAL CREATION. FRANCOIS NOT ONLY HAD GREAT IDEAS AND CONCEPTS, BUT HE ALSO INVESTED A GREAT DEAL OF TIME AND EFFORT TO MAKE HIS GALAXY A REALIZATION. IT IS SOMETHING WORTHY OF ALL MY EFFORTS.
