IDF World

The story-world for this novel is a fairly generic pulp science fiction universe. Spaceships exist and are affordable, replicators, transporters. Its not a direct rip from star trek, but there is not a lot of depth. I will still develop the world extensively and may write other stories in it's continuity.

One thing is the presence of "jump gates" large rings that allow ships to travel great distances almost instantly. Our heroes ship is capable of FTL by itself, but the gates are the only way to travel very far very fast.

Its heavily implied that Ivan and Terrance are the only humans in the universe. Part of the implication is that this really is the Ivan and Terrence from the Development web comic, who got a spaceship somehow and left earth behind to seek adventure.
