I was bored one day... and I made some forums for the heck of it and decided to make it an RPG type... but I think sci-fi can get boring and fanasty is over used....
So i again got bored and mixed the two, Sure it's most likely been done before... but this is my version.
I'll be writing a bigger histoy on the main species and the major galactic events which led upto the current affairs of the various empires and factions.... but for now. (warning... it may be a long read...)
Human suffered a catostraphic war (it's late and i'm tired, excuse an spelling error from here on in...) and most major powers were wiped out in the resulting nuclear launches. many many years afterthe war, Brittian, the now most powerful nation on earth begins a space program, the first attempt to explore space since the war. stuff happens (I have a copy of the more complete history on my computer somwhere) and the humans settle on a new planet and call it new earth, the remaining governments forms the first global government and succeds in maintaining peace on the planet, it becomes a utopia as new technologies and medicines are discovered ad built, as they begin to develop their new planet, they create newer enviroment friendly ways of disposing waste, but it requires a rare mineral on this planet, rather the exaust their supply, they send out teams of colony ships to explore for the mineral and mine it.
flashforward a few hundred years, they have nearly 80 colonies, 20 of them have ast supplies of the mineral and several other planets have limited supplies. the other planets are set up as observatories and shipyards as well as refineries for the minerals.
but after hundreds of years of the mining, only the core worlds are reaping the benifits of this mineral and the backwater worlds cut themse;ves off from the main earth colonies. fearing that this could start a rebellion and disrupt the nature of the colonies, they New earth sends diplomats to resolve the situation. The united Earth Colonies have no real ships of war as they were never needed, so they feared nothing on their mission, but on their way to get past the blockaded sectors, they were attacked by a refitted cargo vessel carring mining equpment adapted to serve as weapons.
this caused the colonies to prepare for the worst and a colonial navy was quickly put together and plans for war ships were drafted, simply as a percausion... this percausion eventualy spills out into open conflict with the backwater worlds and the core worlds.
but the miners had an ace up their sleeve, one on colony planet being mined for the rare minerals, a group of colonist made contact with a race of beings ranging from 4 to five feet tall with a large build, they called themselves the Minatarians, but due to their appearance, they quiclky became known as dwarves of ancient earth myths and stories, these dwarves did not like the intrusion into their space and threatened to wipe out the human invaders, but the miners struck a deal, they'd trade mining equipment and knoledge if they'd provide the humans with weapons and ships for fight their rebellion. they agreeed, it was bleak for the core worlds as slowly, their new state of the art ship were attacked by weapons the miners should never have had.
another race, who had been at war with the Minatarians soon learned of their intrusion into the civil war and offered to help take them out of the picture, these beings known as the Lev'oulian led the assaults and their experianced captains soon won the day for the core worlds, but when a new race that grew in numbers by reanimating the dead of other races saw the galactic struggle, they choose to attack all four factions, the Dre-kelar mercicly attacked human, dwarf and elves (as the Lev'oulian's came to be known as) alike, faceing a common foe, they united and sent them back to the the kelar nebula.
many years of turmoil passes as the factions squabbled, but their was a minor peace that lasted for a few hundred years.
thats the basic history of my little story... but i need help and members to flesh it out more and add too it... if you are interested, head over and sign up... if enough people are interested, I'll write up a more detailed history of all major factions and their planets, weapons and ships.
the current timeline take place during the shakey peace, the Terrans have expanded their growing empire to encompass 130 colonized worlds, the rebel faction which later became known as the seperatiast control about 40 planets, most of them ex. UEC planets, several speratist planets also operate as bases for several ruthless pirates.
the Dwarves control about 200 planets, half of them are mined for the rare mineral used to power their vessels.
the elves control roughly 340 planets, all colonized by them in their golden age, most of them are simply colony planets,while some are trading post and shipyards.
anywho... if your interested, comments, suggestions... flames... well, ok, no flames... but C&C welcome... sign up..
