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:

This RP focus's on teh players beign inventive, and it really isn't the kind of RPG to ahev a stream of short posts but a couple of well thought out posts. The characters will be allowed to do reallly what ever they want as long as it doesn't ruin play for the others and it doesn't go against the background story (tried to make it very vague about alot of things) I would like it if the players made there own factions for there characters, or sub divisions of the main factions.

Main Factions

The GUSS Remanents-

Lead by a council of six leaders the GUSS remanent dreams of retakeing the power the GUSS once had no matter the cost. They have lost there morals onyl worrying now about power and money, but there are still some people who beleived in teh old GUSS and work for the betterment of mankind.

The GUSS has made a large number of enemies in a short time, they have struck against a large number of recently unified planets and have even in some cases committed genocide on a level never before heard of. "Cleansing" these planets of those who try to fight against them

The GUSS has the strongest military force in teh galaxy but they only haev a few centers of power, most of there territory worlds are at a constant state of rebellion and give no help unless forced.

The Galactic Alliance of Independant Planets (Galatic Alliance)-

a newly formed group the Galactic Alliance is a group devoted to mantaining fair trade and order among there member planets and in portecting them but leavign them there indivuality. It is a noble goal but as the sayign goes "The road to Hell is paved in good intintions"

This has proven to be true. In its shprt time the galactic Alliance has bankrupted a large number of worlds, and due to military ineptitude lost millions of soldiers and a large number of space worthy vessels. But a few people have rose to power in its rnks and although they have brought a better economy and military victories. Some know histopry and wonder wether or not they'll be the next batch of Hitler's or Napolean's.

The Galactic Alliances forces are weak but very diverse, and there sources of supplies and income are spread across a large number of worlds allowign them to function even after a large number of trade routes have been blockaded.

The Shades (unplayable)-

a mysterious group that has sprung up. Very little is known of them other then the fact that they seem to have methods fo getting explosives were ever they want, they haev demonstrated this a couple of times destroying a few GUSS space stations and even assasinating one of the leaders of the galactic Alliance.

no one knows there goals or motives, just that there servants appear to be onyl partially human they blend into any crowd and that they appear to be only half there, liek they are but shadows.

myths haev sopread along the galaxy about them spreading fear everywhere. and has even caused a new sayign to sprign up "No one is safe, every one is a target, when the shades walk"

I deem this RP... OPEN! - Nell

[Mandalorian]

General Slaen Sat in the war room of the Battleship Finality all of the best military minds in GUSS's forces sat in raised seats around him. Only he Commodore Ameda, and General dames sat at the center table.

"We can not sit idle as our these planets rebel! It is a disgrace! GUSS is better then this!"

"Oh Shut up Dames, you know as well as I do that we do not have the resources for a prolonged fight. We can not over extend ourselves, if we do our pitiful excuse for a navy will be useless!"

"Once again you go on about you're lack of forces Ameda! We all know you've said it enough times and we are suffering the same problems! I say we use Atomi..."

Slaen stood up abruptly "Don't even say the word! We will not use those devices on our own people! You both have correct points we need to take back planets but we lack resources and our soldiers lack the resolve to fight. We need a victory, and I know the perfect target." A smile crept over his face "The Galactic Alliance is having a meeting of all there leaders soon, we strike there and destroy there heart." he paused for a moment "ready all of our forces, and hire as many mercenaries and assasins as you can to take out there Consuls."

----------------------------------------------------------------

The Meeting chamber was deep underground under miles of earth and a massive shield dome and Duracrete defense level. In other words it was impenetrable except from the very strongest of stone burners.

In the chamber there where two people Consul Athelain Slovan and Consul Poresh Markus. They sat in large hover chairs looking at a holoscreen. It displayed the distribution of forces across the galaxy.

"Any day now Athelain, it won't be long. Our forces are assembled so that they can take down the other consuls forces and then move to attack the GUSS."

"don't grow over confidant Poresh, the other consuls may still figure our plan out and the GUSS may be weaker but there still a large threat"

Poresh scoffed "You think those two consuls know anything! don't amuse me. As for GUSS they may attack us first, and then the citizens may do our work for us. Oh they are so stupid but so helpful"

"Ok then we'll start implementing the plan now. We'll move on the Consuls at the meeting. hire a few Psykics to watch them and see if they suspect, and try to contact some rebellion groups and see if we can get them to take the consuls out for us."

----------------------------------------------

Darkness was everywhere, there was nothing but a night without stars. all that moved where shadows darker then the background.
One of these spoke.

"We can win this in a short time. Already they fear us, they are very weak. Even more so then the last ones. It is sure. Death will take them."

"Nothing is sure Mortalitas, they are stronger then most. They have gone through much of late but still stand strong. we may have our work cut out for us on this one, but that may just make it more fun."

"yes it is always better when they resist isn't it Amor? Its so much more fun, its almost as good as when they fear."

"enough you two, don't you have work to do? Does fun matter? No it doesn't only completion. get to work!"

"yes lord Perturbatio" they both said at the same time

---------------------------------------------

Garreck sat at the small port. His contact was supposed to arrive half an hour ago, where the hell was he. he fingered his pistol lightly watching the people walk past him. They all kept a good distance noticing his armament and the emblem on his coat. It was the old GUSS emblem from before the EME.

A man began to walk towards him Garreck glanced up and recognized his contact. "About time! i was about to leave"

"So sorry, but we'll pay you well for you're services. We have a very special job today."

"What is it?"

"We want you to assassinate Consul Athelain Slovan. She will be meeting with the GA's fellow leaders soon and we'll give you those coordinates"

"The consul? This should be fun, and she deserves this too. Ok how much will you pay?"

"10 million credits, 2 in advance and the rest on completion"

Garreck whistled slightly "you're desperate huh? Well i can't complain it will be my money soon enough"

"Ok here are the coordinates" he handed Garreck a small data pad. "That also shows the blueprints of the station, has access codes, and as much as her schedule as we can get and you're payment."

Garreck smiled "thanks much." he walked away towards his ship, he was now a very rich man.

[Junk Angel]

Brin slept, her mind full of her new job. Some people went into the downbellow recently, getting contacts on all that displayed some sort of psychic talent. Be it active or latent.
They employed them by the score, offering not only pay, but lodgings, possible future work contracts and much more.
It was the first time after years for Brin actually, that she was in a normal clean bed.
Of course she jumped on the contract at once. There wasn't much pay anywhere in the downbellow, and muc h less for psychic, since even the clans didn't often trust them enough to employ. It was still generally better than living directly in Guss' scrutiny.
She slept, wondering who would be so desperate as to hire psi's

[Mandalorian]

Garreck's ship the AOTYN 33201 shot through hyperspace, towards the nearest active Jump Gate. The ships computer woke him from hsi sleep "Hello Garreck, We're almost at our destination. And once agian i must remind you that my name is still AOTYN 33201... My ship ID number, I would liek another name" The ships vioce was very femine, but slightly lower then a usaul felamle voice

"Damnable, high tech computers" Garreck had a smile on his face and it was obviouse that he was joking "if you want a new name so much... why don't you name you're self?"

"ooh, I liek that thanks for givign me permission. I've been waiting for awhile"

"damnable machines, not just asking"

"Ok i've searched my information data base adn i choose the name The Dawn Treader,"

"intresting choice, and now that thats over with how long tell we reach the gate?"

"oh don't worry about it we've already goen through the gate and i've set us on our new hyperspace coarse."

"damnable machines"

[Abby]

On the distant planet of Rathmura, Drizzt Do'Urden walked in the moonlight. In his panthwr form, he padded along the worn trail, silent as the night. His sleek black fur seemed to ripple like water as he walked, and a pair of intense yellow eyes set perfectly in his panthar's head darted left and right, ever-wary for the shape-shifting bandits that plagued the streets. A backpack had been tied around Drizzt's waist, carrying all his supplies and reading material. The bandits knew who this panther was, and normally did not bother him. Drizzt hoped his luck would last until he reached the ship. He was not afraid of them, but dealing with them in this situation would make him very, very angry.

Drizzt was a shape-shifter, a rare minority on Rathmura. Most shape-shifters were looked upon with disdain, but Drizzt, with his stoic view on the world, did not seem to care. In his human form, he wore distinct similarities with his panther shape, such has the intense yellow eyes and muscular structure. In his human form, Drizzt was just as deadly with his two scimitars in his hands. He was a renowned weapon master in his own right.

The landing platform could be seen up ahead. Drizzt broke into a light jog, transforming into a medium-height tan-skinned man. His slitted yellow eyes glanced over his shoulder once more before he unbuckled the backpack from his waist and threw it on his shoulders. He wore a dark traveler's tunic and a green cloak lined with dirty white sheep's wool, which would have been considered normal clothing in these parts. He approached the ship with a silent grace befitting to a panther, and glanced around for the dockmaster.

"Do'Urden," a gruff voice spoke from behind the fuel storage area. Drizzt turned to look at the man, one hand resting lightly on his weapons belt. "The baby's ready to fly. Hyperdrive's still in working order, but I think only for two more trips. It's failing. Like every other damnable machine on this planet, eh, Drizzt?"

"I'll have to hope it will serve its' purpose to me, then," said the ranger. He ran his hand over the rusty hull. "The meeting will be held soon. I won't be back until after that time."

"I hear the Council of Elders appointed you as the representative for the entire sector. What does that entail, shifter?"

Drizzt shrugged. "I am to state the planet's mind and argue for our best interests. It's the politics that bore me the most, Gevard."

Gevard laughed. "Drizzt Do'Urden is not a man of many words. When will you be back?"

"I will be back precisely when I arrive. Thanks for the ship." Drizzt ducked inside the ship. "Anything else I need to know?"

"The ship keeps tilting to the left in automatic pilot!" Gevard called. "Be careful with that!"

"Will do."

Brin was inside the large underground complex. Most of the enlisted "talents" were sent here, given positions, the most basic of equipment and duties.

Hers were simple for the time being, merely sit put in one of the more removed checkpoints of the base, and try to feel something bad in the few people passing trough it.

Of course her chance for this was low. Her true talents lay somewhat elsewhere. She was most adept at finding something more concrete than just a mind full of mishief.
Still she did her best to concentrate, trying to find an intent to kill the lady.
Interestingly, she was able to catch whiffs of many of these from the surface, but none among those that passes trough.

[Junk Angel]

*just bumping to make everyone aware that this still is*

[Mandalorian]

Garreck walked slowly through the winding hallways, he kept a stead pace and nodded slightly at the few people who glanced over in his direction. He was wearing a Black and White suit that fit very loosely, under neath the suit he had a six inch monomolecular ceramic combat knife strapped to his left side and three very small ceramic throwing knives strapped to his other side. Due to the loose fitting suit the weapons where unnoticeable and because they where made from ceramics didn't set off the weapon sensors. He walked through another checkpoint and felt a phsyker's influence move over his mind he pulled back quickly throwing up his mental shields I was being careless, I hope they didn't catch anything... he layed his hand lightly on his side resting ti on the handle of the knife. If they did things might get interesting very soon

------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Guss cruiser eased out of the gate, it was soon followed by an entire GUSS fleet. they moved out of the Gate one by one until after a hour's time an entire fleet was assembled out in the system. Soon after they all lined up carefully and a low hum began to sound from all of the ships, light began to warp slightly around them and then in a split second they where gone. There hyperdrive engines had fired and they where accelerating through hyperspace. The fleet only had a few more days to wait, they where almost at there destination...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The GA meeting was progressing slowly, there where over 1000 senators in the large underground room each with atleast 6 advisors, and still the room felt empty. The room was a sphere with balconies set up around the the edge of the sphere in such a way so that every balcony could see the center of the room. onyl a 1/3 of the balconies where occupied, with only one senatorial enterouge per balcony. in the exact center of the room there was a 30 foot diameter sphere hovering. At the base of the room there was flat area where 4 people sat at each of the edges. One stood and walked over to a pedastel in the center and instantly a amplified render of her head appeared in the center of the room where the sphere was. The disjointed head turned around and began to speak "Fellow Visionaries, we stand at the precipes of a new age..." The meeting was planned to go on for 8 hours a day for the next 2 weeks this was the first of many speeches and already the senators appeared to be half asleep.


OOC: sorry for long time between posts, I really don't have an excuse....

[Junk Angel]

Brin stiffened, there was something, for just a fraction of a second. it flared up, and then quickly died away. The mind was close. Yet what happened to it.
She darted her sight around, trying to make a sense of what she felt. Day and night, pottery mae of ceramite, the wings of an eagle. The eyes of a fox. OH how she hated these random scannings, they made no sense at all, merely symbols that told everything and nothing.
And then she saw him, a man carrying a black and white overall, black and white as in day and night. He just passed trough a detector, the eye's, yet what about the pottery.
She couldn't be sure until she looked at him closer. Slowly she left her post and began to trail him.

[Mandalorian]

Garreck glanced behind him trying to look inconspicuous, Wasn't that person that same distance away a minute ago? he thought quickly to himself no, if they knew I was hear they would send a security team after me...right he grasped the blade tighter, he knew that if it came to a fight he had no chance but he would take a few down with him.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

The GUSS fleet was half way through its second hyperspace jump, it would only be two days until they where at the gate to the meeting place of the GA. They could have been there with in a day's time but they had taken a very roundabout course relying on a mix of gate travel and hyper drives. Ameda had planned the course herself and knew that they would have to be very unlucky to run into any GA Patrols, but even so she had at least a quarter of the gunners on duty at all times, just in case their drop out point had a patrol in it. Ameda smiled slightly The GA will have no idea what hit them

[Black Lotus]

Location: The Jove Space Station in orbit around the planet Gaia

At the highest level of the Station was the temporary headquaters of the Pryde Corporation, its current president Karma Pryde was now overseeing the drilling operations of Ceres; Gaia's only moon for the minerals necessary to built much of the Gaians Fleet. The planet itself always valued it's neutrality by staying far away as possible from the hostility between the GUSS and the GA but many on the planet like Karma beleived that it wouldn't be long before they too are drawn into the conflict. The president and the Gaians council after much debate allowed the bill to built a small fleet to protect the Planet and it's citizens.

Gaia being in a rather remote and small system had to turn upward for the raw materials to built the fleet. The Pryde Corporation was the formost expert in exploiting the heavenly bodies for such materials, in less than a year the Jove space station was built and put into operation, housing many of the miners and other workers necessary for the job, creating a economic boom for the planet for years to come of course other workers will join the numbers a fleet didn't built by itself.

Karma looked over the current progress on one of her many computer frowning a little, she was afraid that she was taking to much from Ceres, even if the moon was the closest body available on hand it wouldn't do much to weaken the moon's stucture. Ceres was after all protecting Gaia from the bigger rocks falling from space, if Karma's assessment was right they will have to move to the Nod Asteroid Belt a few light years from the planet in another year or so.

"So what do you think Omen, after we are done with mining Ceres the Nod Asteroid Belt should be our next target." Karma said while looking up to the stern and tall black haired man standing next to her chair.

"Of course Madam." The man replied remaining stoic as ever as Karma sighed.

"Your not going to answer me are you?"

"Well madam I just did." Came the reply and she groaned.

"Weren't you my brother's assistant before I took his place as the president of the Corporation." Karma asked once again looking up at Omen.

"I was and as you should remember your brother didn't really listen to anyone..." Omen replied.

A brief shadow of pain flashed into Karma's eyes before she turned back to her computers looking at the operations report, after a few more moment of silent she added.

"I know and it was one of his flaws, another was being to impatient, he always felt guilty for putting me in that chair didn't he?"

"Yes, when he couldn't make you walk again it drove him to madness." For Karma's benefit Omen didn't add more to that.

"On another note do you have any new intel on the GUSS and GA hostilities?"

"Not really madam, they are fighting like cats and dogs as always but some do worry that their conflict will have severe repercusion on Gaia." Omen answered.

On that Karma winced the fleet wasn't yet ready and she hoped they would have more time to built more ships.

"I know president Shepard called me personally yesterday to inquire about the operations. He's not to thrilled about the Idea of the fleet but he was rather impressed with Hyperion."

"Hyperion?" Omen asked.

"First of the Goliath Class ship built, since it take a lot of ressources to built only five has been comissioned, with Hyperion finished there is only four more left. Of course these will take years before we can even built another one but we are hoping that the sheer size of it will impress both the GUSS and the GA to leave us alone."

"So your playing a game of chicken with both group?"

"Exactly." She replied smiling.

"Think one ship will be enough and how do you propose to make them aware of the Hyperion?"

"It'll buy us some times, well I hope it will stall them. The president agreed to broadcast the christening(sp?) of the Hyperion over every news chanel available in the galaxy." Karma replied showing the message the president sent her to Omen.

"This is how your going to go about it, by making both side aware of the Hyperion and "Showing its firepower" to the whole galaxy. That would clearly get the message across to leave this system alone? Clever."

"It could also have the reverse effect but I don't think they will want to risk it." Closing her computer Karma wheeled herself away from her desk going to the private elevator door of her office, Omen quickly followed her of course.

"Omen I want you to oversee the operation here while i'm going back on the planet Doctor Reynard asked me not to be late for the appointment, call me if your have any trouble." karma said while rolling herself into the elevator.

"Of course madam and godspeed." As always was the stoic answer of a stoic man one had to wonder if omen was really human.

[Black Lotus]

Location: planet Gaia's orbit

In the shipyard high above Gaia, alot of people were now standing with cameras, recorders and video feed recorder, even after all those century journalist remained the same all eagers to be the first one to get the big scoop. Today was a grand day for them since the press were never invited to see the completion of a military project.

On and elevated platform a podium had been placed complete with the red carpet, behind the podium was a big window covered with a black curtain. Two rows of Soldies were keeping the reporters in check and keeping the curious crowd away from the curtain.

A door opened in the side of the room, a young man came in surrounded by four mean looking bodyguard, that young man was President Abel Shepard. After him was an older man clad in a military uniform, that man was General Donovan A. Crisanti, following the general was a young woman in a wheelchair easely recognizable as Karma Pryde president of the Pryde Corporation. The President under the eager look of the press assembled started the press conference.

"Fellow citizen of Gaia and members of the press, it is a great honnor for me to be speaking to you at this moment. As you know for a while there has been hostilities between the GUSS and the GA, as a neutral system we were content to leave the two faction be but many of you wanted something to be done so that we could protect our valued neutrality in that conflict, you all voted. I heard the people and I listened. With a joint effort on the part of the military and of the Pryde Corporation i'm proud to present to you the first of the Goliath type class ship the Hyperion!" And on cue one of the bodyguards pulled the curtain to reveal the Hyperion in all of his massive glory.

At that moment the crowd of journalist surged foward taking picture of the ship, recording and asking questions at the same times. The president said nothing letting the press do its work after a few minutes when things calmed down and the president cotinued.

"I know many of you has question and the purpose of the press release was to let you ask these questions."

"Mr. President, Kim Doors for GLNN many thinks that the creation of the fleet will incite the GUSS and the GA to attack us, now you show us a bigger ship, do you think they'll see the Hyperion as an obvious threat and attack us?"

"Ah Mr.President I think i'll answer that one if you don't mind." General crisanti said while stepping to take the President place at the podium.

"While we have no way to predict on how both groups will react to the Hyperion all we can do is plan every possible issue that might come out and have a contengy plan for them. As for the Hyperion let me assure you that its purpose is not to seek out the GUSS or the GA but to patrol our and protect system if necessary, so it will never leave the system." The general answered.

And that's how the press conference hapenned with the journalist posing question and the other three answering them for the last hour or so when it was done eveyone left to write the story or broadcast it. Of course the broadcast or at least some of it leaked into worlds allied with either the GUSS or the GA.

[Mandalorian]

Slaen stared at the holoscreen "So Gaia has built a battleship, this could give other systems ideas... Something must be done, although starting another war may not be best for morale at the moment, are troops hate the GA but not the neutral systems..." he flipped the inter ship com on "Admiral Ameda I would like you to lead the third and fourth fleets to the outskirts of the Gaia system. Once there open a diplomatic line, make sure you have it connected to my line." Ameda nodded slightly "Yes sir, we'll jump from here to the nearest gate." Slaen nodded "Good, don't initiate hostilities unless fired upon first." Slaen flipped the transmission channel over "General Dames have two of you're battalions go with Admiral Ameda's force put you're best commander with them" Dames saluted lightly "Yes sir, I'll have them transfered within the hour." Slaen saluted back "good, make sure it is done" he cut the transmission off. "well that weakens are assault force on the GA but we should still be able to make a successful strike."

--------------------------------------------------

The Senate chamber was in a uproar, the broadcast of Gaia's deployment of the Hyperion had just finished. Some where yelling to attack before a attack could be launched on them. Some yelled that it wasn't worth worrying about Gaia would never risk an attack. And still some yelled that they should attempt to convince Gaia to join the GA.

Slowly as the noise began to die down a consul stood up in the center of the floor and activated the projector. "The Consuls have been discussing this and we have decided to send a diplomatic force to Gaia and try to find there intentions and attempt to bring them into the GA. The force will consist of a full diplomatic entourage and then 2nd Fleet. We are putting it to a vote" quickly all the senators voted the ticker in the holo display going up on both sides. after all the votes for yes or no had come in the consul stood again "It is decided then more then 2/3rds of you agreed with this course of action."

[Junk Angel]

There, a flicker again and she saw the man this time.
Brin took out her radio and called in. "Security, this is check in station 4, I'm following a verified agressive, I repeat a verified aggressive. He's in causeway 23, if anyone can get any help in, I'd be glad, I doubt I'd manage him myself. Over"
"Acknowledged, ETA two minutes."
