"It has been a long, dangerous, and tedious journey, but we are finally here..."
It has been exactly eight months since the devastating catastrophe in the Genesirus Spiral Arm, thousands of light years away.
Just weeks before the dawn of last year, the ever burning sun of Genesirus suddenly and mysteriously began to lose it's gravitational pull, which began slowly shifting and drawing the many planets and other celestial bodies and planetoids from their orbits.
This gravitational deterioration also began to cause the sun to slowly but progressively expand itself, growing it to a dangerous size, which began overheating and basically frying core worlds that were closer to the sun, transforming them into uninhabitable volcanic planets.
The outer rim worlds, though they were not as severely effected, experienced major and sudden climate changes which had huge effects on the populants and ecosystems of every world.
Entire species and races were driven into extinction or were being forced to go into hibernation or to evacuate their home worlds to survive.
By the end of the year, the sun's gravity was teetering on total collapsation, which would utterly destroy the entire Genesirus Spiral Arm.The sun would basically explode and engulf everything within reach.And, what few worlds that would survive this, would be then immediately transformed into dark and frozen over bodies that would be totally uninhabitable.
However, many of the sentient species that survived the earliest days of this catastrophe managed to escape this impending doom via their own scientific advancements.
Entire fleets of massive starships were constructed across many different worlds and were used to evacuate hundreds of thousands of a wide arrange of species and ethnics from the Genesirus Spiral Arm.
Many of these refugees came from united and otherwise peaceful utopia worlds, others came from hard nosed radical empires, while many others came from semi-advanced barbaric and war torn worlds that had only the most basic of advanced technology.
These refugees and immigrants scattered across the universe.
Some decided to live their lives as nomadic space travelers, others decided to journey out and find new worlds to rebuild their civilizations upon, while some were splinter groups that wished to locate an unsettled world and build it up from the ground and establish their own new society and government.
Many different worlds and systems across the galaxy have been settled in the recent months.
Many of these refugee and immigrant groups have coincided together and are building up flourishing societies and nations on their new home planets, while others war and feud rigorously and fanatically over their newfound homes.
Despite the months that have passed, many of these refugee fleets have yet to reach their allotted destinations due to the distance.
Once such distant world is a predominantly Terran world known only as Planet 33, due to the fact that both the planet itself and it's surrounding system have been barely explored at all.
With orbital scans and pirate hunts as well as standard patrol being the closest thing to exploration.
Despite this, several small fleets are even now making their way to this world in hopes of successfully colonizing it and preserving their society, culture, and race.
Everything from simple and pacifist refugees seeking a new home to hardcore military types seeking to rebuild or forge a new Empire of their own.
The question is; which will you be?...

PLOT/OVERVIEW/SETTING
This is a Science Fiction genre RP that has virtually limitless military, political, and economical options, and is set on the remote and unexplored Terran world known only as Planet 33 in an unnamed sector of space.
You have two potential paths to choose from, you can create a small fleet of refugee ships that fled from their home world in the Genesirus Spiral Arm and have made there way here to rebuild their civilization, or you can create a single character who escaped from their dying world on their own and followed the string of refugee ships far out here in their own personal starship.
The RP itself is restricted to Planet 33, it's moon, and the surrounding system which contains asteroid and nebulae fields as well as small planetoids that can support orbital stations or platforms.
As a faction your first objective will be to choose a place to land and begin claiming as much land as you can maintain at the start, all while exploring and studying and understanding the land around you.Eventually you will be forced to interact with the factions around you, so it would be wise to be planning on how you wish to deal with the other factions.Remember, war is easily ignited while peace is difficult to forge.
On the same token, war can be waged in one in many ways, wether it be by the sword or by the coin.
As a character, you would most likely want to find work, or at least a new people to call your own.
You would also want to figure out how to start your new life.Perhaps a smuggler, or a treasure hunter, or a mercenary, or build up a criminal empire of your own, it's your decision.
