THE CONCEPT The Galactic Travelers universe is a far future era millennia from the present where Humans are working together with a handful of other sentient species to peacefully explore the galaxy.  In this fictional environment, a variety of sentient species including Humans live and work together in advanced starships and star-faring habitats run by sentient computers.  These sentient vessels are members of Galactic Travelers, a loosely organized mutual aid society and collective security pact.  The star-faring technology of the Galactic Travelers fictional environment borders on the fantastic with capabilities akin to those displayed by The Culture in the science fiction of Iain M. Banks.  The other main source of inspiration for this setting is the science fiction novel Star Maker by Olaf Stapledon.  The Galactic Travelers environment is the most exuberant of my fictional settings with what I hope is an awe-inspiring vision of our far future. THE DESIGNS Category 7 Galactic Traveler Glory of Gladness - Large exploration vessel Category 9 Galactic Traveler Extents of Imagination - Medium-sized star-faring habitat; a large starship that has big bays for various ship functions replacing the smaller rooms and decks used on more traditional starships. Galactic Nexus Nahfenkroyjenol - Space habitat about 100 kilometers in diameter and built by a number of advanced star-faring sentient species.  In the Galactic Travelers universe, the Milky Way galaxy is populated by many such super space stations serving as nodes for multi-sentient species star-faring culture. PRIMARY DESIGN INFLUENCES 1. Glory of Gladness - Alien underwater craft from the science fiction film The Abyss 2. Extents of Imagination - General Systems Vehicle concept by science fiction author Iain M. Banks in his Culture universe 3. Nahfen-Kroyjenol - The "Nodes" in Arthur C. Clarke's Rendevous with Rama series of science fiction novels written along with Gentry Lee.
