WELL, i remember reading about an FIRST CONTACT situation where-in Earth humans made contact via radio with another alien starfaring race. the aliens landed -and were immediately attacked by hostile microscopic life that devoured their starship... are those aliens small enough?????? DAWGIE

*** the aliens landed -and were immediately attacked by hostile microscopic life that devoured their starship... *** Or the entire combined Vl'hurgs/G'Gugvuntt fleet swallowed by a dog, or Agnes Morehead as the little old lady alone, who dispatched an entire survey team and ship, with a kitchen knife and chopper. However, as literary references go, I think he's wanting something more in 'A Mouse that Roared' vein. The_Beast

as in 1, 2, 3, or 13 star systems comprising the empire, association, hegemony, federation, confederation, concordiat, alliance, republic, commonwealth, union, league, kingdom, grand duchy, principality, hive, monarchy, theocracy, and etc? if you are doing your own thang, take a ship load or a flotilla load of dissadents who head OUT THERE as rapidly as time, money and FTL technology will take them, and settle a world THEIR WAY. those pantropipsts would be one really extreme example-who do not appear to be human any more. but what about others? flower children in space, nudists in space, health nuts in space, other flavors of eco-nuts in space, survivalists in space, religious nuts or crazed cultists in space, machine/man nuts, nazis in space, commies in space, capitolists in space, sociopaths in space, billionaires in space, boffins in space, anarchists in space, or agroup of wealth "eccentrics" who got off and found a feudal technocracy, or camelot in space or even the grand duchy of jones in space, livery and maintenance in space. etc. just pick a group of humans who have the money to hire or build a ship and equip a colony set up to settle their own "heaven on not earth".
