In
addition to characters, a successful sci-fi story has great
world-building. Why is everything the way it is? What do people wear
now, what vehicles do they drive, what weapons do they use? What is
the government of this sci-fi world like, and what were things like
before? Include information about the history of your world or
universe to explain, or at least imply (because world building can go
on forever if you're not careful) why things are the way they are in
your story. Decide on how far-future your world is, and if it's far
beyond what we know now, you're going to have to spend more time
explaining things. Be careful not to linger there too long, though,
because people really are most interested in your characters.
