I propose that we form a spacing expedition party, head to an UNKNOWN Unknown Regions ("UUR") planet or hex, and build a space station there.
This would be open to anyone.
I've been watching videos like these lately regarding the lore of the Unknown Regions, and OOOOH BOY, there's a lot of interesting canonical lore codex stuff in there. Enough to fill a gargantuan thread. The Starweirds concept alone make me want to rush into an adventure.
Yup, that's right. A few intrepid souls are going to have the absolute gall to build a space station in UUR; in Unknown and uncharted space, provoking the Starweirds.
There are a few different missions and objectives that we could do, and it could all go into one big thread!
Here are some ideas about what that might look like.
As for the specific planet...there is one that is both canonical to SW and also to SW Chaos lore: Lwhekk. It is an astronomical object that looks like a planet, but its status is unknown. That would make it an unknown (though somewhat charted) planet in the Unknown Regions. It's right in the scary purple region. That's the sort of adventure I'm talking about.
We would of course wait until February to start the IC thread due to the current moratorium.
Sorry for the wall of text, but as you can see, this has been on my mind for like a week. I wanted to see if anyone else had any interest in something like this.
TL;DR - Some starweirds are gonna catch feelings.

Here are some ideas about what that might look like.
- Defending the space station - I'm sure that there'd be a huge fleet of Grysks, Starweirds, and unhappy space creatures. There could also be inter-faction skirmishes over who gets it. Maybe we could even see a Star Weird Queen. We would need to both defend against the starweirds and possibly the starweird queen, and also set up some kind of repulsion technology that keeps them out of the station. And, hopefully, settle difference with talking. (Just kidding.)
- Piloting past "the point of no return" - What actually happens to a ship when they go into the void of the UUR? These pilots would have the courage to find out.
- Building the space station - Discussions about what features would be on this new space station. PS: I insist on a swoop racing track. =)
- Activating the transportation method - How do people get there and back? Technologists and scientists, this is your shindig!
- Innovating the flagship - The specifications and model of the ship(s) that will traverse the UUR.
- New / interesting species or planets or technology or whatevs - Codex and factory, yay!
- Funding the station and flagship - Backroom politics stuff.
- Political and/or criminal intrigue regarding who owns the ship, runs the ship, runs the criminal underground of the ship, and so forth.
