Ok here's my idea for a new RP thats focused on haveign the players be a little bit inventive, and on makeing a whole new sci fi universe.
Novus Universum
New universe
The History:
By the late twentieth century Earth and the Mars and moon colonies had become massively overcrowded with a population density of more then 2 persons to every half acre of useable land. It was at this point in 2098 that the Hyper Drive was invented. It allowed ships to travel a round the galaxy at great speeds allowing colonies to be formed. By 2135 over 100 planets had colonies with 100,000 or more citizens on them and there where countless numbers of smaller colonies spread around Earth’s arm of the galaxy.
The hyper drives still could only go so fast though and the colonies became very disjointed always out of contact. It was also at this point that tensions began to spark between the North American Union (or NAU for short) and the Chinese Hegemony. By 2180 the two where at war the war was fierce with no rules in the process Earth was turned into a ball of radiated rock, and over 10 billion had died. But the NAU came out on top and reformed to become the Galactic Union of Sovereign States (or GUSS for short).
The war did have one advantage though it gave a massive boost to technology and by the end of it two great new advancements where made. The first was the invention of the Tachyon communicator. Using the before hand only theoretical particle the tachyon communicator is capable of sending messages in the form of video or sound at amazing speeds across the galaxy.
The second invention was the creation of the Gates. Two Gates work together, use a massive amount of energy at exact timing to move an open space between the two of them a slight amount in another dimension (even the creator didn’t know exactly which or even if it was constant even though the most agreed upon are 6th and 7th) this space between the two gates makes a stable wormhole. These allow ships to move between any two gates at near instantaneous speeds.
These two advancements allowed the GUSS to control all the colonies that where formed. Another three hundred years passed with little events other then the constant spread of the GUSS across the galaxy. But some chaffed under the GUSS’s rule and rebellions began across the galaxy.
The leader of the largest of these rebellions was only known as Kane, he lead his “brothers” against the GUSS and was able to steal an experimental weapon that the GUSS forces where testing.
Known as an Electra Magnetic Energy Transfer Device, it was capable of changing any energy that came with in its field in to EM energy also the EM energy generated in this reaction held an echo of the original field allowing it to start a chain reaction. But the device’s field only remained stable for less then a millisecond so development had been put on hold by the GUSS, making it possible for Kane to steal it.
What followed was an extra galactic chase across the stars, between jump gates and with hyper drives Kane’s forces slowly managed to get slowly more and more ahead of the pursuing GUSS forces leading them right into there trap.
Eventually Kane’s forces stopped and began to circle the black hole at the center of the universe. Here the GUSS forces met them and without thinking released there entire pay load of weaponry at Kane’s ship in one volley. At the exact moment of detonation Kane activated the Device sending a massive EM pulse through the solar system and right into the gravity of the black hole. The kinetic energy and potential energy that was due to the massive gravity expanded the field even more, starting a massive chain reaction.
This chain reaction released a massive amount of EM energy, luckily however the echo died before it reach any more energy sources but the effect was still massive, shutting down every device within the galaxy, and due to the reaction happening at the center of the galaxy, EM waves continued washing over the galaxy ever few weeks preventing any advanced form of machinery to function. The reaction continued for another 50, but just 2 years ago it stopped. And ships have been repaired and a few gates reopened. The galaxy has been reborn, what will follow in this new future?
Game Play:
I wasn’t this RP to be as open as possible and allow people to make there own factions for it. Consisting of the remnants of any of the colonies, or a few premade ones that I will post later. There will however be a story that will bring all of these groups together but of course that must wait tell game play!
Anyway due to the fact that I want this as player made as possible please feel free to give you’re ideas, and criticisms, about anything including the history.
