I...guess that is an idea.
Ummm....did you see the movie? I'm guessing you meant reavers not ravagers, and the movie established how they came to be and Joss has confirmed the nonexistence of aliens in this particular universe, which is also set in a single star system. None of what you suggest sounds remotely like Firefly and sounds more like a mish-mash of different sci-fi shows.
@trappedslider I have found that LuisCarlos is all about throwing together all universes into one, no matter what genre or topic you are talking about. For D&D he wants a every single setting rebooted in a Crisis of Infinite Earths style crossover event caused by chronomancers (some sort of time travel accident pulls everything together). For Sci-Fi he evidently wants every major franchise pulled together as well.
The "space western" and limited scope are part of the property's charm. Change that and it's not the same show, nor is it even in the same storytelling universe. In that case just make another series with all of those elements and not call it anything related to "Firefly."
so you want something new,not Firefly got it.
@LuisCarlos17f I have gathered that English is not your primary language, so I think one thing is getting lost in translation in our discussions.
So that's Baby Yoda's next gig.

Yeah that's not Firefly which is a space western.Multimedia franchise - Wikipedia
Is it better to say "transmedia franchise"?

It's true, English isn't my mother tongue/first language.
I don't mind if the name is ravager or reavers. The fact is I can't believe a group of mad men can drive a space ship but using some dummies-proof technology. If you have played some strategy game you know the impact of the wear. And the reavers aren't the type of people who can survive enough for at least three generations.
I didn't talk about aliens in the Firefly universe but about people who believe in the existence of aliens. That is an important aspect.
And today the "Alliance/Union of Allied Planets" may be potentially politically incorrect. It is not only by the bad relations between Chinese, Japanese and Sourth-Koreans, but also in the 2021 the public opinion will think different things about China because there are happening some facts in our real life.
I am not against the trope of evil megacorporation but the abuse of this.
Maybe you are right, if the changes are too much it is better to star from zero with a new franchise as a spiritual succesor.
We can't forget the high-tech, for example robots who nanotechnology to repair airships, 3D-printers and LED light for underground farming, allowing hidden "dungeons" as post-apocalypse bunkers. Or the secret of eternal youth being discovered, thanks the regenation of the telomeres (you can imagine the social impact when you end the university but you can't find a job because nobody retires), or "the club of the inmortals", important people whose minds are upoloaded to a high-tech server.
A multimedia franchise is a production that ties in different mediums, in order to expand upon the basic story. It can use traditional broadcast media, internet streaming, virtual reality, games..... That doesn't really apply to Firefly. The only SciFi show that I can currently think of that this label would apply to, is "Defiance." That was a Science Fiction series that was filmed in Toronto (the sets, down along the lake front, were rather amazing). It was not just a TV series but also a video game and things that happened in the video game were incorporated into the story for TV.Multimedia franchise - Wikipedia
