While in hyperspace, starships are typically isolated from the normal universe; they cannot communicate with nor perceive things in real space until they emerge. Often there can be no interaction between two ships even when both are in hyperspace. To people traveling in hyperspace, time typically moves at its normal pace; 24 hours in hyperspace equates to 24 hours in real space. Hyperspace itself may appear as swirling colors, total blackness, or as somethi ...

Authors have created thousands of fictional planets. Most of them are nearly indistinguishable from Earth, which is why Brian M. Stableford calls them "Earth-Clones". In these, differences with Earth life are mostly social (like Barrayar in the science fiction of Lois McMaster Bujold). More physically unusual planets have been depicted in hard science fiction books. For the Star Trek universe, a detailed planetary classification system has been devised.

The plot of ILB is elaborate and convoluted (not helped by the fact that the story was revealed out of order), as well as open to interpretation with regard to gaps in the story. A military spaceship has crashed on Earth in an unknown location, killing the crew and leaving the craft's controlling AI program damaged. But this AI, known as the "Operator" or informally as "Melissa", is not alone: other AI programs share its system or affect it from other systems. One program, called "SPDR" (an abbreviation of System Peril Distributed Ref ...

In 2003, Burns joined the staff of a website called "drunkgamers". Hosted by Texans Geoff Fink and Gustavo Sorola, drunkgamers brought Burns into contact with what would become his future team for Red vs Blue. Burns began to add weekly videos of his favorite game, Halo on the Xbox, to the drunkgamers site. It is not known what truly sparked the idea for Red vs Blue, but Burns has claimed that it mostly drew from over analyzing why the vehicles in Halo were called what they were. He also credits the b ...

At its best (as in, for example, Robert A. Heinlein's novel Starship Troopers or Lois McMaster Bujold's Miles Vorkosigan novels), military SF examines hard questions about the ethics of violence, individuality versus collectivity, and the relationship between the military and its society. At its worst, military SF becomes simple carnography (pornography of violence). Frequently, the conflict is assumed to be inevitable (humans vs. aliens, democracies vs. dictatorships, etc.), and the military approach is not questioned. (Howeve ...

Bungie, like many production companies, puts references to older games in newer games. Unlike others, many of these references hint or imply that a great deal of Bungie's games operate in similar or identical universes. Most well known of this is the connection between the Marathon universe and the Halo universe, which share a great deal of similar names and themes. While most believed that Bungie would never add a direct connection between these two games (just as they did not for Marathon and Pathways Into Darkness), its interesting ...
