A/N - First off, I'd like to thank the academy. Also, Sovereign24. At first I meant only to correct grammar mistakes and be on my merry way, but then it evolved into this beast. It has been quite a road of procrastination, delays, and delay-related troubleshooting for me, but I've rambled long enough. Without further ado, 2488. I hope you enjoy the show.

——————————————
2488

A long time from now, in a galaxy far, far away, because- well, of course it's far away. What are you, brain-dead? Anyway, on with the story.

By the year 2440, humankind had prospered. Technology was advancing at a huge rate, several star systems had been colonised, alien lifeforms had even been encountered and traded with, leading to even more technological advancement. It was a time of peace.

But peace never lasts, and, well- some things just never change. In 2455, an insurrectionist group with a mysterious benefactor arose, with the goal of gaining independence from the United Interplanetary-Colonial Council, or UIC. The benefactor provided the insurrection with a large arsenal of weapons and armor. The insurrectionists took over the colony of Frusii in the Hazal system, and soon overran the rest of said system.

And now it is 2488. The war between the UIC and Insurrection has changed the galaxy. The UIC has been ravaged and lost control of the Hazal III, Vandor, and Reconda systems, the Insurrection has grown even larger, and greedy corporate heads, pirates, smugglers, and other criminals are profiting from the whole mess. Meanwhile, the enigmatic alien Veritas Imperium continues to profit from the UIC's purchasing of it's rare minerals.

You are one of these many billions of people, newfound captain of a ship- or maybe a battlegroup of such. Whoever you are, you will make- or perhaps meet- your small fate in the year 2488.

Major Factions

The galaxy is home to 5 major factions, all of them fighting for the same thing everyone wants: Power. Wealth. These factions have all kinds of relationships, and allying or becoming a nemesis of one will have consequences.

United Interplanetary-Colonial Council: As humanity expanded into the vast reaches of space, the UIC formed from the former United Nations. The UIC encompasses most of human-owned space, but have yet to gain much influence in the Romanus β system, rich in resources but ruled firmly by the powerful alien race widely known to humans as the Veritas. Many dislike them, primarily because they believe the UIC is too large to be able to govern themselves- and some of the disillusioned citizens have chosen to take matters into their own hands.

Insurrection: A rebel group that has grown exponentially to be a nation in it's own right, the Insurrection and UIC aren't so dissimilar. While the "true" Insurrection is primarily taking care of it's own in the Hazal system, their size has caused a large group of their own ships and soldiers, formerly known as the Battlegroup Connecticut, to have splintered off to terrorize the Vandor system.

Sun Dragons: The largest pirate organisation to exist, the Sun Dragons are essentially an army for hire - with no rules of engagement. As well as major pirating operations, the Sun Dragons will do just about anything for someone with enough money. They are ruthless, charismatic, and one of the most notorious factions in the galaxy. The Sun Dragons operate out of the Reconda system.

Veritas Imperium: A powerful, alien empire, rich in resources and housed in the Romanus β system, where the UIC maintains a small embassy, hoping to gain influence, to no avail. Their worlds are rich in resources and minerals unlike any seen by humans previously, and are purchased at exorbitant prices to make everything from weapons to the most expensive (and illegal) drug in history. Rumors about the rich empire can be heard in bars all throughout the galaxy, but they, and any ulterior motives, remain ever mysterious.

Trevelyan Corporation: An enormous and highly influential company within the UIC, the family-owned Trevelyan Corporation has gained power in so many markets, it's original purpose has been long forgotten. From shipping to media and even weapons manufacturing. And though they'd never tell you, it is highly suspected they dabble in the criminal underworld, providing high end weapons to notorious criminal families and organisations.

Locations - Systems

Sol β - The most lawful of human-owned space, as well as the most populous. The Sol II system is home to the branch of the UIC here. It's rather well defended, with plenty of planets to find work, but it does have problems of it's own- problems that could be "solved" for a nice reward... It's money. I'm talking about money.

Hazal - Hazal is the main system of the Insurrection. So long as you can get through Vandor alive, or have the fuel and resources to get around it, you'll find it's not too bad. Insurrectionists might give you a hard time at first, but if you can give them the supplies they need, they'll treat you fair enough.

Romanus β - The entire system is practically a palace for the Veritas Imperium. Very well defended by Veritas ships, only the elite get in.. Or the well-armed. Rich in resources, access is rarely granted to humans, so a few human stations exist on the outskirts.

Reconda - A hub of criminal activity, Reconda is the home of the notorious B.I.G.- er, I mean Sun Dragons, based out of Anhur. They rule the sector, but you'll find that plenty of less than legal organisations call this place home. So keep your nose clean, and don't get into trouble- or sleep with the robot space-fishes, because there are like no real fish in the rest of the system. All the planets save Pandora and Anhur are inhospitable.

Vandor - This system is in total anarchy. Neither the UIC nor the Insurrection own the place, as it's being terrorized by Insurrection splinter force Battlegroup Connecticut, a band of raiders gone mad with power. They'll shoot on sight, so if you want to get to Hazal, either bring resources to skirt around it, or bring weapons. Luckily (and I use that word loosely), they split apart into a(nother) civil war in late 2487. It's a civil war in a civil war in a civil war. Unfortunately, Warception is not, in fact, an appropriate reference to make after 500 years. The system is highly dangerous, but there's salvage everywhere, and lending a hand to the citizens could lead to reward, recognition, and maybe they'll even help you out in the future.

Ship Classes

There are several ship classes, widely used by pirates, privateers, and soldiers within and outside of the UIC. These ships can cater to most needs, though other ship classes are not uncommon. Ship classes are named for the first in their line.

Starter Ships

MacManus-class [ Visual: http://www.cad-comic.com/cad/20081215 ]
A small, fast fighter. One of the most commonly seen ships, piloted by pirates, privateers, and is the standard for most militaries. Available to just about any aspiring privateer with enough cash in the right part of the galaxy. MacManus-class craft are versatile as well, accepting many kinds of modifications. Fast, but lightly armored and no cargo space.

Sparrow-class [ Visual: http://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/cargo-space-ship-3d-model/339514 ]
Another common ship, the Sparrow is employed by nearly every merchant, as well as a few low-end raider gangs. Despite it's size, it costs not too much more than smaller ships, has medium-low armor, and lots of cargo space. The main drawback is it's slow speed and the lack of armament unless you buy some and have it installed yourself.

Firestarter-class [ Visual: http://www.roblox.com/A-Permanent-Solution-item?id=202219393 ]

A ship near exclusive to military and very high-end criminal organisations only, the Firestarter-class is a huge ship, FTL-capable, with heavy weapons and a good amount of cargo space, hangar bay and troop space notwithstanding. It's primary disadvantage is slow speed and wide turns; a fast, nimble squadron or even a skilled, well-armed single ship could possibly disable a Firestarter if it targeted weak points.

Rules

- Of course, the standard RP rules. No metagaming, powerplays, godgaming, having a perfect ship, the like.

- The admins are the law. They decide on what happens in battles, who wins and the damage on opponents or opposing craft.

- When you make your CS, remove any * or [ ]. This is basically the "put _______ in Other", just so you know.
———————
Notes

- You can make your own class of ship. The premade ones are just for if you can't or don't want to make your own ship.

- Firearms and directed energy weapons are both present within the galaxy. Firearms are generally weaker and less accurate, but are more plentiful, cheaper, and fire faster. Energy weapons do more damage and are more accurate, but are less common and more expensive. Also, personal small arms in low-gravity situations will propel you backwards.

- Firestarter-class ships have heavy gun turrets, and the MAC cannon. The MAC is an ultra-heavy assault weapon, with huge damage and an adjustable power output. The lower power, the less damage, but more rapid firing. Rate of fire is still very slow, however.

Admins
These are people I trust. I doubt most of them will join, but if they do, I would trust them with admin power, because they're awesome and such.

SIacktivist - I'll protest that... tomorrow..
Sovereign24 - The original creator.
Timpookie - He showed interest. That's gotta be something.
Megakidmata - One of the cooler people I know. Flameproof, I swear to Ice Jesus.
Rockmax2112alt - Yes, you can have guns.
Uvsk - Awesome person all around.

More will definitely be added.

Is this a comedy or is it meant to be taken seriously? This creates some serious issues with tone and my ability to take it seriously.

I concur with Mage. I honestly can't tell if this is meant to be taken serious or not. I'll join because I can tell this is a lot of work, but first I'd like a clarification.

Oh. It's just, nothing else seems to imply comedy other then that one joke. It seemed really out of place. A bit more attempts to place humor (While still keeping serious elements) into your OP if that's what you're going for might have helped create a more consistent tone.

Yo, slack, mind if I make some ship sheets aside from my own ship, for the fighters it carries?

They could be, like, UIC military fighters. Or something.

Yeah. You can make your own ship or class of ship. The 3 I put up were just general archetypes.

Also, you don't have to be one of the listed factions. You can be independent.

Also PS, I'm gonna limit joiners. Probably. Depends on whether or not people actually want to admin. Maybe.. 5 per admin? I'm new to OPing.
