Okay, for those who have been here a while, you might know that I've dabbled in WC fan fiction, and that most of my output has been pretty... well, crappy. But recently my interest in WC has been waxing (as opposed to waning), and I've had the desire to revisit the world of WC "literature," and of course I use the word very loosely. In the two or three years since last I wrote a WC fan fiction, I've been writing my own stuff set in my own worlds. I'm working on my magnum opus right now, and a particular author who we are all familiar with has offered to put me in contact with his agent. However, I thought it would be fun to work on a new WC story once I finish what I'm doing now. Here are my ideas:
It is 2691, ten years since the Nephilim scare. Confed is thriving under the aging President James Taggart, who is now working closely with Melek in drafting a new constitution for the Kilrathi people. Elsewhere, the Union of Border Worlds is shattered by economic depression and disease, and the Landreich Republic, divided between the warring Bondarevsky and Galbraith factions, is on its last leg. Throughout Vega Sector, Confed interests are threatened by escalating attacks by hostile Kilrathi forces, rumored to be funded from the coffers of the High Priest of the Cult of Sivar. And from Gemini Sector, militia forces commanded by Jonas Hart, a former Confed soldier, are murdering innocent Kilrathi, citing the attacks in Vega Sector as a justification for their actions.
Colonel Lance Casey, a seasoned Space Force veteran, has been flying a desk at Sol Station for the past six months, per his request, in an effort to spend more time with his wife and two sons, Christopher and Michael. However, he is given orders by his superior, Rear-Admiral Vincent Wilcox, to take command of the Wing on the TCS Matterhorn, a Vesuvius-class carrier patrolling Vega Sector. The transfer orders are requested by ConFleet Chief of Staff, Admiral Kevin Tolwyn.
That's the basic story idea. Paladin, Maniac, Melek, Maestro, Finley, Kevin Tolwyn, and Adm. Terrell all make appearances, as well as a couple of characters from my previous stories (i.e. Justin Overstreet as Hart's second-in-command, Milo Campbell as a disgruntled squadron commander). I don't know when I'll get around to actually writing the story, but I have the plot in my head, and it should be fun. Tell me what you think.
