Welcome one, Welcome all! I, the ever lovely Imperial--Japan have decided to take a shot at starting a rp based on one of my favorite 'Choice Of Games' stories. If you enjoy character development, Sci-Fi, and a little ounce of heartbreak and action with your tea, then you've come to the right place! Take a seat and listen children! (Of course I can answer any questions over TG if you prefer)
Backstory: The Imperial Federation Of United Worlds. It was once the only power in the galaxy. A galactic empire that nobody ever thought could be challenged. Decades of technological advancement and an exodus of settlers from earth proved to be the driving factor in the initial colonization efforts. There wasn't a shortage of manpower in these newly discovered planets, and as a result the settlements grew to become cities within years. Colonies consisting of a few thousand colonists became hubs of trade and industrialization.
Despite the incentives to migrate to the colonies, there were many present problems as well. To have your lives dictated by a central government that existed lightyears away wasn't very appealing to the newer generations of colonists. Idealists became dissenters, and dissenters became outright rebels. It did seem like a simple rebellion at first.
Things were never as simple as they appeared. The protests were always broken up by colonial police, and the ensuing uprisings were effectively just a rag-tag group of city-goers. It didn't matter to the more conservative Imperial governors, who used these anarchists as the casus-belli behind ordnance limiting the personal freedoms of the populace. Governors effectively became planetary dictators, and independent warlords. In order to consolidate their power, these dictators formed a coalition to stand against the I.F.U.W. This loose alliance was only recognized by the Imperial Government as an illegal secession, and within the month the navy was set upon the colonies. The ensuing brief battles were known as the 'Frontier Skirmishes of 2099'. The total victory of the Imperial Starfleet led to the occupation of the defeated worlds, and in extension limited the power of planetary governors. The Emperor ruling on earth was now recognized as the ultimate sovereign.
Like all humans, the emperor eventually passed from his current life to the next. To the throne ascended Empress Vivian II, and with her ascension came the promise of a new era of warfare.
Plot: It is now the year 2167, and a bloody civil war has been raging between the empire and a strong coalition of industrial worlds for five years. The recent destruction of the agricultural planet of Samaeus has taken its toll on both factions as war exhaustion and hunger has begun to set in. To muster a fresh offensive, the empire has instituted a fresh draft to bolster its numbers. Whether you enlisted or were drafted matters not. As an individual, you had a skill or something unique about you that made your superiors want to send you to the Grand Academy on Luciferia. Luciferia is commonly known as a tourist world with only the southern islands housing the few military bases on the planet. Here on Luciferia, lightyears away from the frontline, you'll be prepared for the horrors of war.
