The document contains a devastating secret;  the key to domination, power and control. A secret as old as space  itself, the location of the legendary planet ‘Raxxla’”.
 
 
 
'''Mutabilis' is the sequel to 'Status Quo' and also introduces readers to the adventures of [[User:Captain_Hesperus|Captain Hesperus]]. Further accounts of this roguish character can be found in the [[Calliope]] story below...''
 
 
 
 
 
[[Incursio]] (2011) - The third story in the [[Oolite Saga]]. “When a deadly alien attack is launched across the galaxy, humankind  finds itself under-prepared and overwhelmed.

After 30  generations, a staggering and devastating truth is revealed to the  occupants of one such ship…”
 
 
 
[[Nine]] (2009) - “The story of an attempt to reach the ‘ninth’ chart. As players familiar with Elite and Oolite will doubtless know there are only eight charts reachable by Galactic Hyperspace. Does the ninth chart exist? Can it be reached? If so, what’s there? This is a slightly chilling tale of  the ‘Ooniverse’…”
 
 
 
[[Ascension]] (2009) - ”A tale of what might happen when an example of sophisticated  technology is suddenly thrust upon a backward culture steeped in  religion.”
 
 
 
[[Replay]] (2009) - “Difficult to describe even in summary without giving away the plot.  It’s only three and a half pages long, so won’t take you long! Enjoy!”
