![]() 2999 C.E. In the aftermath of a thousand struggles, all the peoples of the world have finally been brought together under the Earth Co-Prosperity Sphere (ECPS). It is the beginning of a new era, one in which mankind has completed the colonization of the system, and now men and women set their collective sights upon the stars and dream to touch them. A golden age of peace and prosperity unparalleled in all of known history, in which the visions for technological advancment and social progress that our ancestors had have been accomplished; all of our superficial goals have been achieved, particularly limiting any and all wars (with a single major exception), and now mankind prepares for the next big step. However, something awaits deep within the darkness of space, just waiting for us to leave the security of our system to swallow it all. It will be our greatest trial so far, a struggle for the very survival of our species... ...and you can make a difference. Edited by Arcvalons, May 14, 2013, 3:58 pm.

That's a very nice hook but it doesn't tell me a lot about the actual rp idea aside from 'sci-fi'. :V |

Well, it isn't a wargame. It's about normal people (you) who get caught up in a war of extermination between mankind and mysterious outsiders. You will start in a space station near the edge of civilization, you'll be common people (tourists, a clerk, a security officer, a journalist, etc. ), and then shit hits the fan and you must survive, overcome, fight back, gradually becoming more involved in the war.

Sounds snazzy! Does the whole thing take place on a single space ship? |

Nope, that would only be the beginning. Once you escape that there would be other, unplanned, things. I mean, it's not like, survival horror.

I was curious because space is a pretty large area! >_< I'd be content with a boundary restriction myself. |

This sounds pretty fun. A space RP would be great. It's something we don't see a lot of. |

What's your explanation for faster than light travel? Will there be mechs? We need more story, or at least backdrop info. |

Yeah, both exoskeleton powersuits and mechs (but small mechs). Also humanity has only expanded in the solar system so there's no FTL, the aliens use portals. |

But that means that even travel between planets in our specific solar system takes years, and if light speed travel isn't possible it takes even longer. |

Ah, space. Your scale is the bane of many a sci-fi writer. |

But the diameter of the Solar System up to the Kuiper Belt is only approximately 15 light-hours. Even if the fastest travel possible is half light speed, everything important would be reachable within a couple of days at most. Also consider this is 1000 years into the future.

You are right. In that case, instead of starting in a research station near the edge of civilization, we would start in a populated space colony deeper within the system. I'll now research space colonies. |
