Heya, guys.
Wow...this thread started to take off just a wee bit - awesome.
Sanders, good point...even though the alien ships are named after aquatic life, it's assumed that these are the names designated by humans to define the various kinds of Nephilim ships. And just a bone to pick here - why is it that the Leviathan is not the most massive of Nephilim vessels anyway?!
Anxiety, Spien, I applaud your suggestions. Having some kind of aquatic (or aquatic-looking) aliens might be a decent suggestion. When I envision this Nephilim aligned group, I picture a numerous group of alien beings would comprise the bulk of it....in which case something like fish might be another suggestion as to a numerically superior adversary...and such a species lends itself to being as dark and mysterious as the bugs. Anxiety, not sure if the whole idea about dogs or wolf was serious or not...if not, that's pretty humorous; either way, it's a decent enough suggestion. We could have some kind of alien that look something like either the jackal-shaped aliens from Halo or (for those who haven't played Halo but are into sci-fi) the jackal-shaped guards of the alien Ra in the movie (or series, to not be picky) Stargate. That could work...have this race be sort of like technologically elite shock troops/pilots or something akin to royal guards, legionnaires, or something. Just a thought really...
In all honesty, the storyline I'm developing would be a 3-parter that would still have mostly everything to do with the bug Nephilim and virtually little to do with these other races, though I'm hoping to have them make an appearance in a few places (which is why I'm trying to nail down some possible concepts here).
Keep the ideas coming, fellas. Got some good ones so far...except for the whole space cow and space moose thing (if the Wing Commander Universe were a little less serious, I'd consider going along with both).
Also...on a slightly unrelated note...what characters would you like to see brought back for such a story as this (from any of the Wing Commander games)? Oh...before I forget here - one stipulation...they should be IDEALLY still living. So if you have a suggestion about digging up Tolwyn and wiggling him around on a stick like a puppet, I think we'll probably have to pass on the idea - sorry.
