Founder's canon abstract
From Red Galaxy
The Founder's Canon is so named because it was started by Trent Shipley who founded the Red Galaxy Wiki.
The Founder's canon provides parameters for building a science fiction setting that spans a fully colonized Milky Way. Dyson swarms of computronium are knit together by beam riding bullet ships.
Every star tends to be wrapped in its own swarm of satellites made by converting almost all available matter into intelligent matter. The result is an unimaginably complex community of beings from the very simple to those with godlike intellect. These stellar islands are connected by slower-than-light ships. Most ships are small traveling on on beam networks a few interstellar ships are massive. These large generation ships travel very slowly indeed.
