The vastness of space boggles the mind of man. In all ages and during all times man has devised theories and philosophies to describe its workings and origins. Yet still he is unsure of his findings for truly they are at best geusses and perhaps wishful thinking. So then is it any surprise that events and situations might arrise which seem to weird, to freakish, to bizzare, or to far outside mans limited experience to believe?

 The following plots describe events or situations that however implausible or unbeliveable they may sound are possible in the myriad alternatives of the far future set amongst the immense depth of the stars.
 

         1-10    A small fleet of ships from a know enemy force has arrived
                    in system/orbit.  The enemies are from a race of machines,
                    insects, strange alien biomorphs, or similar group that
                    normally doesn't exhibit any free will among individuals.
                    The enemies claim to wish to defect and have a seemingly
                    believeable explanation.  Should they be believed and if so
                    what is the best way to handle the situation?  If they are
                    telling the truth then will other hostile members of thier race
                    come looking for them?

         11-20   Two warring factions both wish to enlist the aid of a third
                    neutral group.  In an attempt to force the hand of the
                    non-aligned side both of the warring factions have taken
                    hostages from the neutral group.  What course of action
                    should the non-aligned group make?  Should they pick a
                    side and attempt to rescue the hostages taken by the other?
                    Or should they declare war on both sides?  Perhaps a
                    successful raid of highly trained commandos could free
                    both groups of hostages and allow the third group to retain
                    its neutral status?

        21-30    Government forces are in pursuit of raiders/deserters/pirates
                    when they encounter another even more dangerous enemy
                    force.  They begin fighting the new enemy and are surprised
                    to find their previous query fighting beside them.  After the
                    battle is over and the new enemy defeated what shall happen?
                    Will the two forces continue thier fighting anew, will they
                    negotiate, or will they simply agree to leave and continue
                    thier quarrel another time.
