Since Niven allowed other writers access to what is now a shared universe, over 15 books of short stories, novelettes, novellas and novels have been written by numerous authors. The Tech timeline goes from 19th Century India, through the age of fusion reaction drives, Bussard Ramjets, and the 3-days per lightyear Hyperdrive. You could set your story in any period along more that 1000 years of technology. The Kzinti Occupation years on Wunderland are ripe for Resistance stories, as are the post-liberation years of political upheaval as surviving working-class colonists try to overthrow the semi-aristocratic Herrenmen who are descended from the original Fifteen Families in the first colony ships, who claimed all the good farmland, industrial concerns, and control of the government.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Known_Space\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow ugc\">Known Space \u2013 Wikipedia<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You might try fitting your story into Larry Niven\u2019s Known-Space\/Man-Kzin Wars Universe.
