StarKnight Productions. [email protected] SILENT UNIVERSE: MISSION 256 2. About the Silent Universe … The Silent Universe purposely breaks many of the molds of popular SciFi series, like Star Trek, turning the concept of a utopian future on it's ear. In the world of the Silent Universe , war and apathy have continued far into the future, leaving humanity shattered and still fighting against itself, even in space. In this dystopian vision, the modern specters of genocide, racism, xenophobia and chaos still exist. Amidst such a dim world, there are still heroes and people who believe that humanity can aspire to something better, but it is a bitter and difficult battle for those who fight for good ideals .

Though American writers had long cultivated informal relationships with government patrons, the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) reflected a new investment in the aesthetic life of the nation. By awarding grants to citizens without independent resources for work yet to be produced, it changed both the demographics of authorship and the idea of the “professional” writer.
