- Following July 3rd, 2017, apps with the dominant ideology of fascism will no longer be accepted due to the high volume of fascist nations. Any apps submitted prior to July 3rd with the dominant ideology of fascism may maintain their ideology. Any submitted after will be rejected.
- The Tarsus System is now open for Independent Colonies.
In July of 1969, American astronauts became the first human beings to set foot on the lunar surface. Their mission, Apollo 11, would pave the way for humanity's ascension into the stars. Over the decades, probes were launched into deep space, space stations were established, and it seemed all mankind looked to the stars.
This period was not to be, however. The end of the Cold War also brought with it the end of the Space Race, and with it came the end of a golden age of scientific advancement. In the many years that passed, Earth became a troubled place. Wracked by war, disease and environmental destruction, the human species found itself on the brink of annihilation. In a desperate bid to survive, the nations of Earth came together under the banner of the Sol Confederation, a loose alliance of nation states whose goal was to ensure humanity's survival. Scraping together the last resources of Earth, the Confederation launched a vast campaign to bring the solar system under human colonial rule.
Over the next eighty years, the Confederation would establish colonies on nearly every major planet in the Solar system, even establishing outposts in the Astroid belt and the Outer Rim. This would be known as the Long Peace, a period of unrivaled economic prosperity and development. However, beneath the veneer of the Long Peace was growing resentment between the colonies and the federal Earth government. This resentment would come to bear with the collapse of the federal government in 2107. A major market crash coupled with an attempted military coup caused a complete breakdown of colonial rule. Whole planets broke away from the Confederation, forming independent nations in the wake of the collapse. Conflicts erupted almost immediately, and in no time at all, Sol was in civil war.
The civil wars would end soon after they began, and when the dust settled, only Earth and the Moon remained loyal to the Confederation. A new, politically unstable period of human history had begun. Twenty years have since passed since this time, and an uneasy peace has been maintained among the colonies and their former rulers. You take the command of one of these worlds, from the scorched deserts of Mercury to the icy outpost of Pluto. Can you steer your world into victory, or will you fall like so many have before?
Welcome to Frontier, a science-fiction strategy RP taking place in the year 2127. You take the role of the leader, or leaders, of a world within the Sol system. Formerly under the colonial rule of Earth, the planets have broken off into independent nations, each with their own cultures and ideologies. New technology has opened up a new frontier for expansion, particularly in the field of stellar travel. Starships can now make limited faster-than-light jumps to nearby solar systems, and so a new scramble for the Outer Frontier has begun. Beware, however, as these new worlds can be even more dangerous than those in Sol. From monstrous wildlife to xenoplagues and destructive weather, you will need to brave these hazards to gain the vast resources beyond Sol.
