From the maelstrom that was creation a Cosmic Dragon brings young worlds to seed the vast universe. I may have read this in Ancient Mythology and remembered the story...or it could have been that mushroom I...uh...never mind.

Epsilon Eridani is a real place, a star 10.5 light years from Earth and scientists believe there may be at least one habitable planet in that system. I really like the old pulp books and sci-fi with the classic retro look so I created a Rocket Ship in that genre for travelers who may exist in an al...
