The Tech Side #15 Airlocks

Posted on November 25, 2020 by ChristinaEngela

Airlocks – sci-fi is full of them. Virtually every sci-fi series or movie out there makes use of the airlock as a plot device or at least as a feature of the story – we’ve seen them in Star Trek, Event Horizon – and who can forget Sean Connery’s escapades with airlocks in Outland? Airlocks…

The Tech Side #14: Imperial Starships – Shuttles & Shuttle Bays

Posted on November 20, 2020April 13, 2021 by ChristinaEngela

Shuttles are often a feature in sci-fi, and the Galaxii universe is no exception. Shuttles are generally smaller space craft used to carry crew or cargo between space ships or between a space ship and a planet. Sometimes they’re used as lifeboats. The notion of a ship carrying smaller craft dates from the days of…

The Tech Side #13 Imperial Starships – Battlespringers

Posted on November 18, 2020April 13, 2021 by ChristinaEngela

In the Galaxii universe, battlespringers are scaled-down compact starships used by the Terran Space Fleet. Several of my stories are set aboard battlespringers, for example short stories, “The Devils In The Sky” and “Beyond”, so my readers should be slightly familiar with these ships. When I first envisioned battlespringers, how they looked in my minds’…

The Tech Side #12: Imperial Starships – The Medical Complex

Posted on November 14, 2020November 14, 2020 by ChristinaEngela

Starship sickbays – we’ve seen all kinds over the years, haven’t we? Examples include the warm sickbay of the Enterprise, to the industrial, austere treatment centers of Star Wars, overshadowed by industrial overtones and staffed by droids, to the grungy austere sickbay of Serenity in Firefly. Likewise, in Galaxii, Quantum and Panic! Horror In Space,…

The Tech Side #11: Stardrives

Posted on November 12, 2020 by ChristinaEngela

Terran starships of all kinds, from loderunners to imperial warships, use a faster than light drive system colloquially referred to as the ‘stardrive’ or a ‘warp drive’ or even a ‘hyperdrive’. This article looks a little more closely at the technical details of this type of propulsion system. Stardrives are a variation of warp engine,…

The Tech Side #10: Imperial Starships – The Benatar Class Cruisers

Posted on November 10, 2020November 13, 2020 by ChristinaEngela

As sci-fi fans, we love the starships our favorite characters cruise the cosmos in, don’t we? Star Trek has its various incarnations of the Enterprise, Star Wars has the Millenium Falcon, Battlestar Galactica… well, has itself. Firefly has the Serenity. Buck Rogers had the Searcher, and The Expanse has the Rocinante. We love them for…

Coming Soon – “Duck Blind”!

Posted on January 21, 2020 by ChristinaEngela

Announcing “Duck Blind“, a new novella by Christina Engela that has it all: sci-fi, thrills, mystery, wonder, pretense, delusion, a touch of romance, philosophy, blind panic, hysteria – and cosplayers and roleplayers! Things aren’t always as they seem. Neither is Charlie Branson. Outwardly, Charlie appeared to be the successful, respected, somewhat over-paid Captain of a…

“Duck Blind” by Christina Engela – Coming Soon!

Posted on December 5, 2019 by ChristinaEngela

Things aren’t always as they seem. Neither was Charlie Branson. Outwardly, Charlie appeared to be the successful, respected, somewhat over-paid Captain of a commercial space liner. Charlie loved his job, and not just because being a semi-silent partner in Intersteller Vacations LLC paid well – but also because the uniform was a babe-magnet! In truth,…
