	Orion tales - Faq
		As well, Orion's Arm might be the name of a political-diplomatic-military-economic organization developed by an AI that rules the Orion Nebula and the Orion Federation.
		In addition to (a) the emphasis on hard science, Orion's Arm differs in that (b) human beings are no longer the dominant intelligence in the galaxy and (c) the role of alien empires is replaced by empires of various terragen phyles and races, whether biological, cyborg, robot, or ai.
		In fact, there are no current major alien empires at all in Orion's Arm, although there are relics and artifacts left by former mighty alien races, as well as a small number of current but much less powerful alien species (either once great races now in decline, or species in their infancy).

	THE NEW DAYS
		Orion ships and crews visited only their own settlements, but many corporations and families hired alien ships and crews to haul for them, quietly, preserving the illusion of no Orion involvement.
		Orion artisans and craftsmen tried to outdo each other to build larger, grander, and more ornate cities, towns, and markets-the more and the faster, the better for everyone.
		Orions wanted an inhabited world so that they could worm their way into the local economy and ingratiate themselves with their 'new business partners'.

		The Krasnikov and Visser type wormholes we use in Orions Arm don't connect between different timelines, but rather between different locations in the same timeline- this is because both ends need to be actively expanded using antigravity.
		If the far end of a wormhole was in another timeline then there would almost certainly not be anyone there to expand it...
		a space warping ship could also be used to travel in time and to alternate realities- in fact those examples of Alcubierre drive craft that have been built in the Orion's Arm civilisation have invariably disappeared from this universe.

		The cults activities are frequently beneficial to the empire, and though membership is not required for military service, it has, over the centuries, become the official religion of the armed forces.
		Caseless projectile weapons something like what we might develop in the next decade are the standard issue for most decent armed forces, with poorer goverments issuing weapons that wouldn't have been out of place in WW1.
		Lower powered ones could expect to survive short exposure to vacum, being able to survive a few hits from small arms, and probably kill or render brain-dead a target at a short distance.

		Ask yourself if a person who just happened to have four arms, while being utterly normal otherwise, would be considered human.
		In the Orions arm scenario, humanity swarms by the trillions, like bacteria in an ecology of intelligence.
		So in the end, there's no way of really knowing how long, or whether, the species will survive, and maybe it's best to act as we've always acted, as though ours (or our kids', or our grandkids') is the last generation that will ever be.

		Well, i'd prefer if we not debate with Orion's Arm, because the OA universe is neck-deep in Wank.

		Even a convincing slow-takeoff singularity story is not easy to write (Stross does a VERY good job in doing so).
		For example Orions Arm (I assume everyone knows this great site:-) tries to describe a deep singularity world (sub-nano-, even sub-planck technology, wormholes, transcendent SI ect.) but even this is to conservative and not hard-takeoff (it names that there is "transcension" into "abstract spaces"/postulated transcendent states of existance ect.
		A true hard takeoff singularity resulting in universal quantum-computer interfaces, alpha-point/alpha-line computers, fractal tardis computing, ontotechnology and creation of new universes as well as the ability to visit the other (higher dimensional) spaces of the local multiverse and beyond is perhaps impossible to describe for a human author.
