what can you do with offshoots of humanity in a space setting?

The first obvious thing that comes to mind is using various offshoots to explore specific routes that humanity could go down, and how those routes would react to normal humans.

The cyborg transhumanists trying to take over Earth and turn everyone into drones.

The alien-bio-human mix beings trying to explain to their dimwitted progenitors what joining the space hivemind can do for them.

That sort of stuff.

As it hasn't been mentioned yet, the whole lost worlds plot line. Come to world find humans who've regressed, don't know about anything beyond their planet for XYZ reason.

Maybe a 'no we came first! you're OUR descendants' 'no we're the original line of humanity' agrument/war between factions.

>>53942030
yes, we get it, the answer can be applied to almost any question in /tg/.

how about actually contributing?

There's the old classic, which is adaptation to the gravity they settled in. Obviously serious changes would require an extended period of time or a society capable of bioengineering, but living your entire life in a high or low gravity world is going to have an impact on bone growth, muscle growth, and the like.

You can do other adaptations to the environment as well, but they'll probably fall into the "extended period or bioengineering" category.

Every single planet would produce an off-shot of humanity with time. Only those planet with exactly the same gravity, the same atmosphere, the same radiation from our Sun would ever have baseline Homo Sapiens. Gravity alone is going to encourage divergent evolution. That alone without entering into the realm of genetic engineering and other transhuman techniques.

Fuck them.
Also, does anyone know what this is meant to illustrate, if anything?

My nigga. You have good taste in kink.

>>53942021
Moar?

>>53942021
Literally any damn thing you want.

Like the Snarks from the Orion's Arm setting. People that have regressed themselves to a sub-sapient state and modified their bodies to that of a human-ish crocodile. With a habit of eating sapient beings whenever possible.

>>53942021
You can bang them

Spacefaring civilisation is likely to have genetic engineering well-developed, even modify them after birth (retroviral and stuff), and have enough resources for it to be more or less commonplace, even cosmetic.
Now imagine what would furries, otherkin, fantasy and WoD larpers, edgelords, weirdos, weebs and insecure-about-my-body people would become with enough time.

Vacuum-adapted species that thrives in a biosphere based upon the rings of gas giants. Maybe they reproduce like aphids. Maybe they reach the size of whales.

A carnivorous species that's currently waging a civil war between migratory herders and factory farms. Boner points if they have huge saber teeth and fight like pro wrestlers.

An herbivorous species that survives mostly through reproductive overdrive and partly through stinky machismo. They're too stupid to figure out metallurgy but they're unwittingly part of a biosphere that grows multi-stage nuclear rockets to spread itself at complete fucking random.

I always liked not!númenóreans in space.

>>53942021
What is that? Dune?
Are the nuns (?) worshiping him? do the cyborg and the smiling nun fug?

>>53948101
While Orion's Arm is often critized for pretending being hard sci-fi or the fact most of the stories themselves are not good, I always liked the encyclopedia for things like that.
I like the premise of a space civilization that started from humanity but diverged so much because of all the human-derived or created species in it.

Does anyone have the story some anon wrote about ops picture? It was well written and [spoiler hawt [/spoiler]

Pretty sure you're wrong.

I think it's just a one-off from an artist. I found his site once.
