Have you ever wanted to shoot lightning from your hands? Heh-he. Where I come from that’s normal.
In 2104 we became a threat to the balance in the local galaxy when our test flight of FTLDP 2 (Faster than Light Drive probe) was a success reaching a speed of 53 times the speed of light. This was noticed by the Consuta a “superior race” who was distrait by the idea that a race could have advanced so much since their last study of them, 1951 our time. They decided to end this planet’s technological advancement and bombarded the earth, destroying its major cities and technological strong points. And as a final insult launched meteors filled with unrefined *shield* crystals in an attempt to sterilize the whole planet while making it look like an accident. This may seem like a terrible waste of crystals that can make shields but when your race is harvesting the rotational energy of a white dwarf most things seem so minuscule.
Many died from the radiation but of those that didn’t something was new. Some found that their children developed powers including; electrokinesis, pyrokinesis, telekinesis, or magnetkinesis. It changed the face of war. (options place to start another game/s)
It took us 172 years to recover before we had an FTL project again. When it succeeded we left. those of us with the ability to leave over through the small amount of military in space. The four largest space stations; Jupiter, “Jump” Station, Mars Station, Solarias station, and the space based weapons platform GC-01 (Gauss Cannon 01) and many commercial ships where fitted with FTL drives to escape the tyranny of earth’s hierarchy. Not that hard when you have cannon capable of leveling cities. Saving the earth was feasibly impossible with such a small rebellion. It was only a matter of time before we were crushed by the empire. We needed a new home. (needs more detail have more too lazy to type)
Searching the galaxy for a new home wasn’t easy. Solarias station fell in a rift, lost to space. Jump Station was heavily damaged in our first encounter with alien life they wanted GC-01, we drove them off. Our next encounter went much better we came across another nomadic people the Sejil. They most closely resemble crustacea. (my science pene could go far here but im good) We met aboard their flag ship, we could breathe in the same air. Their home planet lay on the opposite side of the Milky Way; off in a globular cluster it was enslaved. The Sejil went through a worm hole to escape, that was 20 years ago. We had many things in common our people had war filled pasts but took up arts and freedoms rang hard in their cultures our two peoples became one migrant fleet. They had purchased the location of an unclaimed planet. We found two planets capable of supporting us within ^three^ parsecs a statistically anomaly. We settled the smaller of the two.
They left earth too. Earth became the new home for an amphibious race that was attune to earths new toxic environment. The planet was traded for weapons, FTL capable ships, and all around higher tech. ftl sub par, cloaks better, shields sub par, more ships/forces, weapons sub par, flag ships run by members of the royal family are beastly.
Blah blah blah they found us set up base not too far away from our systems now its 12 years later
You’re in special forces and you’re being rushed out of training because most of the stealth forces were killed when The Thespa’s cloak failed while near a patrol. There are rumors of a traitor. You will be under trained for the tasks demanded of you? Are you ready to serve?
right i have interesting weapon concepts like hook pistols, shotgun axe(hell yeah black ranger), rail rifle (manetkenisis makes it more powerful), Arc cannon (elect), solenoid fist, cupped bat (tele),
