4000 AD

Technology had advanced, some said, to it's apex. Faster Than Light drives, instant teleport units, Dyson Spheres, Hardlight, AIs, and microtechnology. Augmentations which required only for a man to stand in the center of a glass chamber for five seconds while microtech grafted itself onto his bones and his brain. These augmentations could be removed whenever the user wished. Immortality seemed to have been discovered as well, as these augmentations would preserve the mind and the body, preventing decay. But during this time, the art of War was the one thing that had not advanced to the limits of it's possibilities. During this time of advancement, War had been forsaken. The latest (known) advancements on the subject were made around 3000 AD, over 1000 years ago. Unfortunately we had also forsaken our fascination of Alien Races. Maybe that's why we were caught unprepared in our blissful, peaceful society...

4023 AD

First contact. One of our smaller colonies just dropped off the radar. When some of our ships arrived there to investigate, they found nothing. Literally, the whole planet was just...gone. Troubling.

More colonies are disappearing. The Council is getting worried. Some investigation ships have also disappeared. The people are starting to panic.

Six days after First Contact. Our enemies have decided to show themselves. A huge orb, covered in what at first appeared to be fire, has just arrived near another colony. I now have reason to believe that the strange orange light is actually information, being sent through a form of light wave to other stations...ships maybe?

This is...troubling. To say the least. The Orb seems to have...absorbed...maybe teleported the colony. Fortunately we were able to evac most of them...

Another day. Another colony gone. The Orb advances like some sort of extremely thorough RPG player, destroying, or doing whatever it does to all colonies it passes. It is unstoppable. We've tried breaking out the old dusty MAC canons that were lying around from the old days and firing those at it, but it's no use. The thing is totally invulnerable to impacts from the outside. Wherever the colonies went, I have a feeling that's where our rounds went as well. Our scientists are working on weapons and trying to find a way to stop it. It's been so long since Humanity has waged war against...well anything that nobody really knows how to do it again. There are rumors of an exile planet where the "Disturbers of the Peace" were sent. The Council holds the coordinates. Maybe the prisoners would know a thing or two about waging war against impossible odds...



MORE INFORMATION
(SPOILER ALERT)

This RP is set halfway through the year 4023 AD, during a possibly alien invasion.

Technology has advanced to the point of OPness.

At the beginning you will be either trying to find the Exile planet or studying and trying to stop the Orb. Later it'll pick up into a huge war. I'm planning for a free roam sequel. This RP will be the backstory for that one.

RULES
1. No armies. You can be a member of the council or the leader of the insubstantial police force however.

2. At first you must be a Terran. (SPOILERS Later on you may be able to play as other races/factions of Humanity)

3. You may join in the middle of the RP. It will start out relatively low-key, so if that's not your style, then feel free to join when the action picks up.

*These rules are subject to change at the GM's wish*
