This is where we do a restart of the Star Saga RP.

This is the LOTR, set in the 9th age of Middle-Earth. Unless you can think up a good reason, all of your characters have been dead thousands of years. Here's some story:

It was the seventh age. Middle-Earth had just undergone something similar to the industrial revolution. All remnants of the Orcish civilization were shattered. Eru deemed it their time for enlightenment. He called back an old friend, a friend who had left in the fifth age. Eureka Enderborn. He came to Middle-Earth and showed them all what he really was: A robotic Enderman. He explained to them all the worlds beyond their own, all the places. And he showed them how to build magnificent machinery. Within 50 years, Arda went from industrial revolution to star-travelers. The Valar left back to Eru's pantheon in the stars. The Elves, giving Arda over to mankind, migrated to Zenia, a beautiful, tropical, lush paradise world. The Dwarves, after much consideration, also left. They settled on the rocky mineral-rich planet of Kordiak. As for humanity, they were allowed to keep a hold of Arda, but they didn't just stop there. While each species carved themselves out a little empire in the stars, it was humanity that truly expanded, eventually reaching the point where they were two times the size of the Dwarven Empire, and four times the size of the Elven one. And so it was that Eureka Enderborn left once again, saying "No matter what happens, no matter how much danger you may face in the future, you will never EVER see me ever again."

Unbeknownst to everyone, the few nomadic remnants of the Orc civilization stole plans for a rocket and launched themselves into space. They traveled unbelievably far in an attempt to hide from humanity. Eventually they found a monstrous magma world, which they proceeded to name Utumna. It was here that they established a capital. There was much infighting amongst the Orcs as to who would be leader, until eventually an alien came down from the skies. No one quite knew how he got there. This alien, calling himself Lord Vladak, commanded the Orcs to obey him. The Orcs refused. They attempted to attack him, when suddenly he hovered off the ground, his eyes beneath his black hood began to glow purple, his body turned blood red, and a massive thunderstorm of purple lightning circled around him. All around cracks appeared in the ash-covered rock, and volcanoes erupted violently. A ring of fire surrounded him. He pulled out a pitch black sword coursing with purple lightning and, with a simple flick, sent twenty Orcs flying. Not dead, just shaken and injured. Amazed, the Orcs bowed before the alien whom they now revered as a god. Under his leadership their civilization spread across the stars at a rate even greater than humanity. And then, the Orcs found humanity and the Elves and Dwarves, and led by their hooded and cloaked leader, declared war.

So here are the rules: basically all the rules from the previous RPs. Keep in mind: though this is the space age, and though lasers do exist, they are somewhat rare. Advanced machine guns and other projectile weapons are much more common.
