Bleakbane's Galaxy Guide

Bleakbane's Galaxy Guide is the first release of the lore book for the Aotrs Shipyards Lore.

Updated to Second Edition (2351)!


Bleakbane’s Galaxy Guide is a comprehensive, living guide to the various powers, nations and species that populate our galaxy, written for the denizen of Earth-E (that’s you). Inspired by such seminal works as the guide from Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, Spacecraft 2000-2100AD and the Jane’s guides, the Galaxy Guide is intended as a single reference source for all interested parties. While some of the later entries do build on the earlier ones, the reader is not intended to read from cover to cover, but is encouraged to pick and choose the entries that interest them.


The Guide is simply illustrated with primarily black-and-white line renders of many of the ships and vehicles and is suited to reading on devices such as kindles.

The first 2350 edition contains full guides for five powers – the liches of the Aotrs, the sentient battle tank Cybertanks, the human Herosine Empire, the tetracorn Jalyrkieon Hierarchy and all that is known of the mysterious Extra-Galactic Aliens XGA01. These full guides include a breakdown of the power’s ships and ground forces.

In addition, the Quick Look At series covers thirty other major power in lesser detail and finally gives a brief overview of some of the many smaller powers.

Written and compiled by former Army Of The Red Spear Commodore Bleakbane, this represents the most up-to-date resource of its type available to Earth-E.


Both PDF and AZW3 files are provided for maximising ease of reading.

This is intended as a living document, with updates (likely annually or bi-annually).

Note: This is a pure lore/fluff book there are no game mechanics.
