[QUOTE="Thomas Bowman, post: 7402362, member: 6925649"] Well in this campaign, wormholes connect two points, if you want to go somewhere else from the same point, you would need another wormhole. The wormholes on this map are tame wormholes, that means instead of having spherical mouths they have flat mouths and are contained by stargates. A stargate can have up to 6 wormholes leading to 6 different places. What one sees when one approaches a stargate is a regular solid corresponding the shapes of six polyhedral dice, if there was one wormhole, the stargate would be a ring, if two wormholes, a tetrahedron or 4-sided die shape would serve. If there were three wormholes, the stargate would be cube-shaped with six faces. if four wormholes, then the shape of an 8-sided die would serve. If five wormholes, then the stargate would have the shape of a 10-sided die, and if 6 wormholes, the stargate would have the shape of a 12-sided die or a dodecahedron. There are twice as many faces as their are wormholes, because you need a face for each direction. The wormholes are each two-way, but you don't want starships crashing into each other within a wormhole throat, so at any given time, traffic moves in one direction through any particular wormhole. And when I say their are six wormholes leading out of a system, what I really mean is their are 12 wormholes. For every two systems connected by wormholes, their are two wormholes, one for each direction, like a two-lane highway through hyperspace, except in this case there is no crossing over the double yellow line. Most of these wormholes were built by ancient aliens, the aliens had long ago uploaded to electronic form, they build machines that constructed wormholes and they continued building wormholes, following their programming long after those aliens were no longer around. AI machines maintain the wormholes, they are non-free willed and adhere to their programming. Most stargates are located on the fringes of each star system. There is a stargate in the Kuiper belt in the Solar System for example, it was only discovered with an invading force came through the wormhole and attempted to invade Earth in the mid 21st century.

Ardala has taken a particular interest in conquering Earth, she believes that if she can accomplish that feat, she would inherit the throne from her father. Zhu Han has many children, and he decides who is next in line to the throne, and many factors goes into that decision, including that of military success. Earth is the ancestral home of humanity, so Ardala feels that if she can conquer Earth, that would be a great propaganda victory for her empire and she would be made queen, so she is very ambitious and ruthless in pursuing her goals.
