Vector spun his light cruiser The Stargoblin 180 degrees and searched for movement in the starfield. He had jumped to astrowarp to escape the strange spherical ships that had started following him a parsec ago.

For a couple of minutes there was nothing to see except distant stars and the inky blackness of space, but then he suddenly detected movement. Gray and black spheres, six of them. They were headed his way. He now knew that he had no choice, they had tracked him to the other end of an astrowarp jump. There was no way to shake the mysterious craft.

Vector prepared his little cruiser to fight, powering up the fission cannons and targeting the incoming ships with his burners. He sent full power to his forward shields and was ready to charge the bastards head on when the holoscreen started blinking. Vector had tried to contact these ships many times since they started following him with now response but now it seemed they wanted to talk.

Vector waved his hand and his jaw dropped when an old enemy appeared onscreen.

"Carbons? Purge? What are you talking about?!"

JiveHonky posted:

Its a sci-fi novel set in outerspace 1 million years in the future. Human beings have evolved a lot and spread among the stars colonizing distant planets. a war has started near the outer reaches of our galaxy its the humans vs the Catmen of Positron V.

Our hero is a space ranger named Vector Starshine. He's a rougish rascal always getting into tussles and scraps of trouble.

I am having trouble coming up with names for the other characters though.

Crane the Frasier

A creature from a slightly offputting, bald, human alien race who is nevertheless wellspoken and erudite, to a fault. He drinks expensive space sherry and his life is a balance between people mistakenly assuming condescension from his strange speech affectations and people completely missing his perpetual and very real condescension.

It's later revealed that he's actually just a slightly offputting, bald human.

I notice how you used parsec in a way where it could denote either a unit of distance or a unit of time - well played, my friend. Well played.

the OP is going to start having trouble fitting all of these characters into his novel

so it would probably be best if he turned it into a 15-book anthology instead

In the future, the entertainment industry has suppressed all knowledge of the Holocaust because they don't want the negative association to affect their holo-projection technology (holocasting.) Also, everybody's Jewish now, so it doesn't matter as much.
