I already have written a couple, but they are to be considered... 
prototypical.

I have bigger plans to create a game set in a single setting, which removes a 
whole load of complexities with modularity, but it's a big setting with 
superhitech starships flying around between sentient space stations and 
crashing onto planets and the occupants having to revert to savagery with 
swords and so on...

I wanna include all the different technologies I can think of, to create a 
playground where the implications of technology can be examined and toyed 
with. Neural implants, FTL travel, sentient machines, the lot.
