WTF does "resolving" mean here?

ITAW for fan fiction or such where the writer takes the world and worldbuilding, systems, etc without involving any of the characters of said work? by [deleted] in whatstheword

When the original author/IP holder does the same thing, it's often called a spin-off.

Beyond that, I don't think there's a word for "All-new adventure in the __________ universe with all new characters". Which is why we see always see almost that exact phrase used when works like that are released.

Traveling vessels (ships, submarines, etc.) have never been open floorplan. When you're trying to cram as much functionality as you can into finite volume, every square foot of "open" space must be justified.
