| Here's my idea for a Lobby World, more or less something like the Jem Hadar from Star Trek.
Two societies of one alien race. One science/higher-learning, other are warriors, brutal soldiers. Big war blah blah blah, we end up in space, home planet destroyed, etc etc.
The higher beings want to keep the warriors under control, so they grab data from other worlds and try to create simulated environments to satisfy their needs. Warriors gobble it up, playing docile but secretly training to overthrow the sceince-types and go out and do some real conquering.
In this fashion, starting out we can have our Lobby World Ship, and if this pans out, we can include other actual "real" worlds that the warriors have conquered. Then you can get some sort of PvP going down between the World Ship and a Planet.
