It's a new time for the Human race, a time when our technology has begun to catch up with our ambitions. Mankind has reached his hand out to the stars, and inward to his own being. We have united our own Solar System, and established interstellar commonwealths, empires, and federations. And through it all we have the ArcWays, ancient devices left on a hundred worlds which allow instantaneous communication between the stars, forming the framework which supports civilization. Yet we are trespassers to the ArcWays, using them without truly understanding them, and the only thing more frightening than the prospect of the return of the ArcBuilders is the return of those who drove the Builders away uncounted ages ago.

10,000 years in the past...
1,000 years in the future...
The ArcBuilder Universe.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The ArcBuilder Universe is an ongoing exercise in world building, creative writing, artwork, and futurism. Began in the late 1980's as a collaborative effort between myself and my girlfriend (who has since become my wife), the project eventually evolved to its current point, where creativity and hard science are being brought together in an attempt to forge something remarkable, memorable, and unique.
