IN the near-future, Space colonists have become a thing and we have made jump gates between solar systems far and wide. Unfortunately, we lost contact with one of the principal jump gates and now a ship has been dispatched to find out the problem and fix it, be it a technical problem or a material problem. There has been a growing presence of rebel forces in the area who want their colonies to become independent from the Earth Government's regime. Normally they would be given this privilege, but their colonies hold a precious resource that is used to facilitate space travel and activate the Jump Gates. So far, we have no intel on the situation, and a small scout ship with engineers, pilots and soldiers have been sent out as a preliminary force to find ot what happened since the EG doesn't have the care to send a larger, more specialized force to fix the problem. It's probably just a technical problem, right?
Of course this would be elaborated on, and it would be a bit more in-depth, but that's the gist of things.
Sounds great
