Re: Semi-OT: The Icaran Empire Preview (the book one)
Well it all hangs together a bit more now, this is a good thing. As longs as its a nice propaganda history, or better 'Approved' history. I think that fits, a nice "Historically clarified" official history, very Icaran I think.
However, you don't know your fictional Nazis and this can be a crippling problem. There are three main types, Jungle, Hollow Earth and Space.
1. Jungle. Fleeing to Brazil/Colombia/The Amazon this group have the simple aim of cloning Hitler. Or, if they're lucky, growing a new body to implant their 'Hitler brain in a jar' they smuggled out of Berlin. Using evil genetics and much manical laughter they hide away and generally aren't much of a threat.
2. Hollow Earth. Following maps this group ran to the North Pole, found the hole and climbed inside the hollow earth. Once inside they produced a series of elaborate machines designed to make the earth appear not hollow to seismologists. With this done they settled back to control world affairs with their vast wealth. The source of this wealth is mysterious, perhaps lava mines, perhaps they found a lost world inside the hollow earth (ala Doug McClure), who knows?
3. Space. Fleeing on a V4 rocket a vast evil base was established on the dark side of the moon. This group contained most of the mad scientists who are devoted to making giant super weapons to threaten Earth with, hence why their existence was hushed up by both the US and Russia. In between building super lasers their hobbies include treaties with Aliens, conspiracies and plotting elaborate revenge on the Hollow Earth Nazis, because they got the far better deal.
For you see all three groups dislike each other and want to destroy the other two. Should they ever work together we area all surely doomed. Doomed do you here? Doomed!
