Philip the Bard's Harappan Blog: Galactic History Without Max Gavaskar




Welcome open readers. Thanks for being here.

Today, my speculation about a Galaxy where Max Gavaskar did not save us all. . .

Brilliant young physics student, Max Gavaskar discovers a problem with the SID’s faster than light spaceships. She goes to them with her data and she is never heard from again.

Dorian Thain is abducted while on Earth for a peace conference. The conference fails but Dorian escapes and makes his way to Lava by stowing away on an SID starship. While there he makes contact with several resistance groups but is captured and arrested by SID agent Gary Meyer.

In Dorian’s absence his Sister-in-law, Lanice Thain continues to manage the government and makes strong ties with the Tarsan missionaries. They steal an SID starship and head off to proselytize to the developing worlds around the Milky Way. Mary Carmini drives this expansion and builds a great army of primitive cultures armed with modern weapons.

When the Fordians come to stop the SID space program and remove the humans from Kusha the Tarsan Army intervenes and destroy the Fordian starship. This ignites the Galactic War which brings in all the advanced species to aid the Fordians. Humans on Earth, Lava and Kusha are wiped out. Harappa is assaulted by a force led by the Tax and Fordians. When the SID is destroyed the Tarsan army is the only human group left and the rest of the galactic nations hunt them, eventually killing them off after several long years of conflict.

No one solves the problem with FTL for another few centuries.
