The Moon Base Galileo Universe Manifest is set in year 2090, in a future where space exploration is more advanced, but still very limited and highly expensive. The manifest voluntarily ignores most of what is occurring on Earth, focusing solely on Moon Base Galileo, the only permanent settlement on the surface of the moon to be continuously occupied. As explained in the manifest, the majority of the residents of the Factory levels of the Moon Base are at least part-time nudist due partly to the ambient heat and the insufficient renewal of clothing.

The conditions for using this manifest are enumerated at the end of the manifest.

What is a Shared Universe Manifest (SUM) ?

It is a document outlining a "universe" writers are allowed to re-use to write stories. Think of all of the fan-fiction based on Star Wars, Star Trek, The Lord of the Rings and other fiction universes. In these cases, the fan writers decided to use a well known universe the readers could relate to.

On Naturist-fiction.com, we have decided to allow writers to publish, an use, common Universes so that multiple writers could write a series of narratives occurring in the same environment, but not necessarily with the same characters or style.

This manifest was created to give an idea of what a Shared Universe Manifest could potentially look like.

Writers interested in creating a SUM may either create a brand new one, or simply describe in more details the Universe the characters of their already published work live in.

Context

Moon base Galileo is a scientific complex installed on the "dark side" of the moon, opposite of the Earth's position. It is an astronomic station built to listen to radio emissions coming from deep space, or to perform scientific experiments in a radio-frequency poor environment. Having been built opposite from Earth, not a single radio transmission can interfere with the observatory. It is the only permanently occupied settlement on the surface of the moon, due to the high cost of construction and operation of any such settlements.

It is almost fully autonomous, recycling it's own oxygen and water, as well as producing food for it's inhabitants.

It remains, however, a logistical nightmare since the complex itself is unable to communicate with it's Earth mission control via direct route. A cable relay is planned to link the station with the Earth facing side of the moon, on which an antenna would...[Continue reading on the site]
