RP's Overarching Concept: The year is 1998 and Humanity has obtained FTL technology in the wake of a failed alien invasion two years prior. The first starship for the counterattack has been completed and now the team that will take the fight to the invaders will be selected.
Genre/s: Alt-History, Sci-Fi
Character or Faction Based: Character
Detailed Description: "Are we alone?"
The great question of existence, answered in the twinkling of hundreds of stars falling to the Earth in a single night. An invasion of unprecedented scale, announced by the thundering of chariots from the heavens. This was the beginning of the War for Sol in '96, millions lay dead in its wake, but it did not accomplish the goals of it's aggressors- the capture of Sol-3, a planet called home by an aggressive race of angry simians named Humanity. Us.
It took almost a year to fight them to a standstill, a month more to chase them back to their ships in the charred remnants of Humanity's greatest cities, and less than a day to blast the slowest and most damaged of their sky ships out of our atmosphere and into the depths of space. The last message we received, was that they would return, with numbers that would drown Humanity in bodies, ashes, and rubble for a thousand years and for that we smiled grimly from parted lips and bloodstained teeth. With a single, primal roar, we answered back with the anger of a race collectively borne out of spite and warfare," Come and take it."
Now, almost a year after, the combined resources of Humanity have finished the first in a series of ships designed to take the Combined Earth Armies to the home planets of the alien race that bloodied our noses two years prior. The trip, taking almost three months of FTL travel, will put Humanity at the edge of a cluster of stars over 100 lightyears away. There, a group of soldiers, taken from the best of Humanity's military forces will engage in a preemptive attack on the projected staging grounds of the enemy fleets, a massive planetary shipyard code-named "Alexandria".
The fighting will be harsh, the mission difficult, and the stakes being the potential extinction of the Human race. The team will be composed of eight individuals, a commander pulled from the survivors of the harshest fighting in the years before, and a hand-picked seven specialists who can represent the best Humanity has to offer in the imminent bloodshed to come. Only one question remains as the dawn of a new era in galactic history awakes, do we want to be alone?
Need Help With: General interest, it's based off of
The Road Not Taken. Wanted to play with the concepts found in GATE, SG-1, and a few other sci-fi/sci-fan series I enjoyed growing up.
