FAN FICTION
SPACE: THE CONQUERING PATH: An intergalactic war epic spun off from The New Space: 1999. This series deals with a massive intergalactic war between two space powers: The Congregate and the Aggregate. The Congregate is headed and was founded by the Tu-Eontauan Oligarchy (formerly the Tu-Eontauan Confederation) and was primarily established to allow the Tu -Eontauans to take back the colony worlds that were stolen from them over the centuries. The Aggregate is headed and was founded by a civilization known as the Vodunari Empire -- archenemies of the Tu-Eontauans. The Aggregate was formed to counter the Congregate's military actions. Other civilizations involved in this "Congregate-Aggeregate" war include Congregate members the Psychon Sovereignty (which was revived by Tu-Eontauans who've acquired Psyche technology), the Dorcon Imperial Federation (who need the alliance after suffering from a bloody civil war) and the Ebladorn Union (long-standing allies of the Tu-Eontauans) as well as Aggregathe members the Nondai Domain (a major enemy of the Tu-Eontauans), the Zondab Assembly (another major Tu-Eontaiuan enemy) and the Tavnolavim Confederation (former allies of the Tu-Eontauans).
SPACE: NEW HOMEWORLD: The world of the Terra Alpha -- a planet populated by the decendants of the Alphan Lunar Authority. This is a series that takes place 1,000 years after the Alphans have colonized a new homeworld. Their civilization is known as the Terra Alphan Democracy, and the people live generally prosperous and peceful lives. The focus of this series is a group of people belonging to an organization called the Alpha Journey Historical Society. This group decides to launch a series of space missions that will take them to all the worlds visted by the original Alphans.
CROSSOVERS: So far, only three crossover have been thought up. But more are on the way. Frist there's Star TRek: Deep Space 1999. It's a humorous and action-packed crossover that deals with most incarnations of Star Trek with The New Space: 1999. Here, an alien space jump system sends the Moon, via the Bajoran wormhole, into the Star Trek universe. Then there's Slioders:1999. Here, the Sliders are crew members on Moonbase Alpha. Quinn, in his quest to modify a teleporation system that could send the Alphans back to Earth, accidentally creates sliding technology. From that point on, he and his partners in slide travel to alternate versions of Moonbase Alpha -- including one universe where the Psychon Sovereignty has taken over the base for purposes of military conquest. Third, there's Stargate: 1999. In this crossover, the Alphans land on a planet that is coincidentally being explored by SG-1. But that's just one possible story. It's also possible that -- assuming that Space: 1999 and Stargate SG-1 exist in the same universe -- the planet the Alphans explore is also the Alpha Site -- the place where the Earth's best and brightest relocated to after the Earth was damaged by the Breakaway event.
