| Rock Trolls are immense creatures with durable hides like stone. Like their Troll cousins they can regenerate and severing a limb merely results in battling a second troll in mere moments. However, unlike their cousins they are NOT vulnerable to fire. they are however vulnerable to water-based attacks which can be used to dissolve them. The amount of damage greatly depends on the type and quantity of water being used. For instance a simple child's squirt gun would inflict damage equal to a simple firearm but a a weapon as powerful as a fire-hydrant would be much more effective killing the creature in mere moments. Rock Trolls can be controlled and tamed (relatively speaking) but do not make good pets and when found tamed they are usually used in a gladiator capacity as an execution method. Rock Trolls give birth only once in their lifetime via mitosis the newer offspring being half the size of it's parent. Rock Troll diet consists of sand stone and rusted metals these permeate their skin granting them a natural camouflage rating of 90% when not moving. Rock Trolls do not register on thermal or life scans making it nearly impossible for them to be detected on any given planet so explorers are advised to be cautious when exploring planets which would be suitable for Rock trolls to inhabit. |

| This was a piece commissioned by a guy going by the name Puffinrail Studios and he wanted a memorial to past crew members with it's own room. The specifications for the obelisk were very exact and I'm happy to say he was quite pleased with this image. the lighting was very important and it has become the thing i am best known for I suppose but that's because I obsess over it and nowadays i have it down quite literally to a science. |

This is an image of an automated nano-surgical table standard on all IGFW starships. This sort of treatment is usually for a quick repair of un-salvageable limbs and is for immediate repairs only, Personnel can opt to have cloned limbs replaced at a facility better equipped to handle such procedures. Tactile sensation of modern Cybernetic implants is 90 percent which is quite high. The minor loss of sensation usually only takes a couple of weeks of adjustment. If necessary full replacement of all organs and skeletal structures with a loss of only 8% of tactile sensation and many people do opt for such replacements as they are a great way to extend one's life span but such a procedure is not without it's drawbacks after all a full cyborg is still a machine and machines break and have their own set of vulnerabilities and legal restrictions. Synthetic Cyborgs are still in their early trials and as yet no full conversion Syntheborgs have been attempted.
On an artistic note, the image seen here has no post-work and is a raw image, one I must say I'm very proud of. |

| I just recently discovered that Conan the Barbarian (yes the one we all know and love) could possibly be in the public domain. There is some dispute about the copyrights as Conan has passed from hand to hand. The issue seems to be that NOBODY remembered to renew the copyrights of the original author. This opens the door for a lot of new potential. I would not miss out on this opportunity to create my own version of him and I present a concept (not the finished product) here. Feedback would be nice. |

Thor the Mighty, Odinson, The Mighty Thor, these are just some of the names given to the Norse god of thunder. His entry and that of many of earth's deities is intended to flesh out faiths within the Galaxy Five game and priests of the each faith will have their own edicts to which they subscribe. I hope it will be fun for all ages.
This of course is an updated version of my original Thor who for me looked a bit...like a dandy and i need my God of Thunder to taken seriously. |

So this ladies and gentlemen is the concept Warp Ship from NASA and incidentally the inspiration for the Warp Ring Design on my ships. I thought you'd like to know where I get my ideas from and that sometimes (more often than not) they are based in actual science. This is the ISX Enterprise for those of you not in the know (look who I'm tellin) and getting this model was the highlight of my month. Of course that's the SS Lillun in the background.

I was sitting down watching "How to train your dragon 2" when it hit me that I could have a world like that within my 5 galaxies...so Lo...And BEHOLD!
The Dragon world, where every conceivable dragon within the 5 galaxies can all be found on one world. The Dragon Masters have tamed nearly all of them (or at least enough to ride) Dragon hunting is illegal except with a license (for population control) the People of this world fight fiercely for their Dragons and have a bond with them not quite the Equal of the that which Legendary Steed Dragons and their riders share. However, it is as close as one can get. Understandably Steed dragons are not found on this world though it seems all others are. |

| A Mech Or Mechanical Vehicle is a large robotic vehicle designed to walk and/or run across rough terrain. These towering robots have been used in nearly every facet of industry and are at the forefront of Security, and Military applications. They differ from power armor in that they require a seated pilot instead of enhancing the pilots own movements. They come in all sizes and shapes and can be found on nearly any world with an technology Rating of 10 or better. Most mechs are constructed from Non-Conventional Materials Such as Adamantine, Durasteel, and Megamesh. Some use enhanced plastics like Carbonate, and Infusium 3, There are magical versions although those differ greatly in construction materials & weaponry. |

| Species Naga.jpg
Obsidian 2014/9/6 11:31

| The Naga are a reclusive race of evolved serpents with a great propensity towards magic. In fact magic is so ingrained into their society that (as on many other magic dominated worlds) it has replaced technology in every part of daily life. The Naga themselves worship the Egyptian gods and their society reflects this. The Pharaoh rules the entire planet and has many Nomarchs serving across the continents, and several high priests beneath them. All Naga are born able to use magic (mostly for defensive purposes) and can create darkness, create oil slicks. Magic and spells are taught from pre-school ages and on through college. Misuse of magic is taken seriously and the Naga possess unique items that neutralize it rendering the wearer powerless. They have even developed magical implants that visibly mark the bearer with a glowing mark that shines through clothing and armor for all to see their shame. Naga have trouble understanding how anyone can live without magic and are fascinated by technology. In the last 100 years they began experimenting with various forms of technology and now lead the 5 galaxies in Technomancy. As such their world and its businesses are constantly "harassed" with sanctions and various red tape by Mega Corporations who seek to prevent their products from "Flooding" the markets. Visitors to Darmina 6 are subject to a one hour lecture on how visitors are expected to behave and what will and will not be tolerated. Anyone who feels their rights are being violated (or in some cases removed) can feel free to depart back to where they came. Visitors are expected to bow before the appropriate authorities and failure to do so can (and often does) be punishable by death. As a result of such rules tourism is notably light. |

| Interstellar Customs
Obsidian 2014/8/19 4:30

| Travel between Galaxies is possible for civilians only via Intergalactic Highway. The rings are maintained through taxes and many inter-galactic peace treaties. Each ring uses a system of tractor beams and space warp fields to accelerate a vessel faster and faster as the vessel travels. Therefore the farther a vessel travels the faster it travels to reach it's destination. computations are also made to progressively slow the vessel as well. All ships travel through these highways do so not under their own power essentially being on autopilot, and using one's engines doesn't help the process along. During transit the rings are responsible for navigation and speed and ships often pass one another within the ring. Should a ring become disabled all sequential rings will adjust to compensate and any ship stranded will be retrieved immediately free of charge and rerouted as soon as possible. The system is incredibly efficient with only 45 fatal crashes withing the 330 years since it went into full operation and none within the last 150 years. It is important to note that due to the relatively small size of the rings, that they would not make a good transit method for an invasion this is intentional and all parties involved in their maintenance are satisfied that they are large enough to accommodate trade/shipping. The largest ring set travels to the Sathari Galaxy and takes roughly 3 days to traverse. At every port ships are rigorously inspected by customs for contraband, drugs, and other illegal smuggling. Vessels are randomly selected for boarding and refusal usually results in seizure of the vessel or destruction in the event of resistance. The "On Ramps" are much better armed than most battle cruisers having roughly ten times the firepower, and are incredibly well armored it is said that if just one were mobile it would be a major threat to nearly any fleet, Thankfully they are not. The customs officers are assigned by a special branch and have officers from ever region of space that they reach. Those officers report directly to a special committee and like the legendary sentinels have "Above the law" status in the performance of their jurisdiction (ie the station). allegations of corruption are taken seriously and any such abuse of power or corruption is dealt with severely. Very often small trade stations or outposts will be established nearby in an attempt to provide goods and services to travelers. The fees for traveling along these highways are based on vehicle size and homeworld which has led to some debate over fees. |

Professional thieves are the bane of the art world and are masters of stealing that which cannot be stolen. Their skills are unmatched except by the most highly trained spies. For these adventurers high stakes are the name of the game, the more intricate the security the more they love the challenge. Of course it's not always about the score, sometimes its about the prestige, a famous heist that never turns a profit is every bit as good as the high paying theft that puts one in the lap of luxury.
Updated typos...Sorry folks. |

A piece I created for my game using :icondariofish:'s newest sci-fi armors (thanks for making them) I merged the two and added some old V4 stuff to create this assassin.
In the world of Galaxy 5 assassins still exist and with things as wild on the frontier zones as they are after the Millennium Wars they are in high demand. Killers come in all shapes and sizes but true assassins are specialists in the art of stealth and murder. Often using a wide array of methods to strike at their victims. Some assassins form guilds or groups the most famous of which is the Oni ninjas. The Oni are not simply assassins but shadow ops masters and one can only hope to receive training from their masters. Other groups such as the Shadow Walkers boast special powers that give them an edge but most assassin groups are usually found by authorities or employed by legitimate governments. There are many corporations such as Yokazunai, and Tbreila Inc. who payroll their own private armies and assassins, such business is highly illegal as one might suspect but the rumor of such a thing alone keeps smaller competitors from causing too much trouble for those kind of larger conglomerates. |

Soldiers are the backbone of every military and during the Millennium wars every world saw more than their fair share. As warriors for their government they're often sent to secure their rulers interests. They fight who they are told to fight and follow orders. Their lives are structured and ordered and many serve their entire lives. There are those however who simply cannot be constrained by the constant discipline and choose not to remain in service but even they cannot escape the knowledge and experiences of the soldier's life. Anyone can pick up a weapon and do battle but true warriors are trained and hardened.

| Vocation Technomancer

| Technomancers are the epitome of magic and technology combining the best of both worlds into one. Their weapons, equipment and various devices are some of the most sought after in the universe. There is a downside however, in that they are despised by Mega-corporations everywhere. Technomancer devices do not as a rule need to be recharged and often have few or no moving parts to break down. A technomancer's car for instance cannot lose power or stall it does not have an engine and there is no discernible power supply yet outlets work and the car hovers as a normal one does. Why then would you buy the regular one? Simple: Manufacturers across the five galaxies have made it impossible for Technomancers to manufacture their items in bulk through various legislation. Due to this fact technomancers (like any other mage) sell their wares at a high price since creating their items is an expensive undertaking. Many Technomancers take orders far in reserve and specialize in only one type of item as doing so helps to overcome several legal restrictions. |

Mages are quite common place these days, though licensing, energy signature scanners, and strict enforcement have made them less of a mystery. To practice magic professionally requires several years of schooling and a degree in Archaic Science additionally to teach magic requires a permit and an Associates Degree in Teaching. The scientific precision of Magic initially astounded scientists who thought it the fanciful imaginings of the barbaric and superstitious. Imagine their surprise the day it was publicly acknowledged as a legitimate field of scientific study. Magic is not chaotic as it turns out and when used properly has very regular and predictable results. Currently the study of magic is a pre-requisite to anyone wishing to have a career in any field of scientific study. Through scientific research in modern times the effectiveness of spells has increased greatly the four greatest colleges currently teaching magic are located on earth and not surprisingly consist of Harvard, Princeton, Yale and Columbia Universities.

Located on a distant planet outpost 321 stands as and shining example of how well the citizens of the IGFW come together to make the impossible happen. The planet it is located on is 85% water with several small continents and hundreds of tiny islands. The crews rand into tropical storms and all manner of sea life which threatened to end their colonization of this distant water world. Through perseverance and hard work the initial colonists managed to etch out a place in the barren waters and now inhabit most of the major landmasses on the planet. Outpost 231 is now a major stop for all deep space mission as it is the last resupply post on the far reaches of explored space. The planet's population began with just 1,435 people and in just 5 years is a booming 500,346 with more arriving all the time.

| The Inter-Galactic Federation of Worlds or I.G.F.W. for short, dispatches small fleets of ships to expand its territories and explore the farthest reaches of the Milky Way Galaxy. Shown here are 2 cruisers (left center and far right), one heavy destroyer (Bottom), a frigate (top), and a heavy scout class vessel (top left). Departing from a deep space station. It is important to note that all space stations are designed to be self sustaining depot with medium range cargo ships and mining equipment and always placed near a habitable planet in the event of any catastrophe. Space stations are towed in modular sections and transported via Space-fold which is not practical for every day travel despite the fact that most IGFW Star-ships are equipped with Fold Generators. The Modular sections are then assembled on site and any accompanying ships remain with the station for a full rotation. Placing a station in deep space takes only a few days at most and has made colonization much easier than in previous generations. |

Like All Heigaran's he retains all of the natural predatory abilities (Night Vision, Enhanced Senses etc) of a large predatory cat. However he is no tribal leader although he is a respected inventor and philanthropist.He also has the ability to speak with and control cats of all kinds. Under his mask is the face muzzle and teeth of a blue tiger (A very rare breed)he is a true hero and despite his ability to do so, he never kills. |

| Peaceful, and sedentary, are words commonly used to describe halflings. Halflings are descended from both Elves and Dwarves and until only recently were the two races "Dirty Little Secret". This combination was not thought possible due to the unlikelihood of the two species ever mating as both races have a strong dislike for the other in general (specific friendships not withstanding). Halflings possess abilities from both Dwarves and Elves and are aproximately the average height of the two being smaller than elves but larger than dwarves. Halflings have exceptional agilitysimilar to many elf species and are exceptionally hearty as are dwarves. They can see exceptionally well in darkness. Their hearing is also quite exceptional just like elves. Most folks believe Halflings to be simple folk and while that is mostly true many halfling adventurers do exist most of which are thieves of some note. |
