[starmark2k]

Incoming Subspace Transmission…

Text only

Top Secret!

 

To: Captain of the TAS Apollo

From: Central command, Earth

Priority level: Alpha

RE: Project Ascension

 

Good evening Captain I’m sorry to say we must divert you from your current mission as a matter requiring your immediate attention has arisen.

 

Two days ago we lost contact with a secret military research facility on a planet on the edge of known space. The planet, known as Prometheus, was being used to do most of the research we felt it would be wise to keep from our citizen’s knowledge. The last communication from the Science outpost was as follows…

 

”Emergency, Emergency, we lost control, They killed everyone.”

<Loud bang heard in background>

“Oh God they’ve found me… AHHHH…”

 

You are ordered to enter the planets orbit and send your Spec Ops team down to the surface and investigate the facility. Their mission is to find out what happened there and rescue any survivors. Caution is advised.

 

Transmission Ends.

The Story

This is based in an original universe where all the nations of Earth have formed the Terran Alliance. There are no Aliens in this universe only Humans. It’s based roughly 500 years into the future where Faster than light and energy weapon technologies are commonplace.

 

You play a member of spec ops unit ‘Sabre’ currently assigned to the TAS Apollo and are being sent on the investigation. The ships previous assignment was simply the investigation solar systems for new habitable worlds.

 

What our characters don’t know is that the Facility was experimenting with genetic mutation and manipulation on humans and other animals. These have escaped their containment and began to kill all the soldiers and scientists on the base.

 

Your character’s weapons armour and equipment are standard issue.

A brief History of the Universe

In the early 22nd century faster than light travel was discovered and was used immediately to discover new planets in distant systems. Soon after this discovery humanity became united declaring peace and becoming a single great nation.

 

The Terran Alliance has 13 planets including Earth, Some are large colonies but others are merely mining or research colonies.

 

Three years before the RP starts a war raged across the Terran alliance against rebellious elements. The rebels claimed that the perfect galaxy that most people believed they lived in was a lie and ruled by a secret evil government in reality.(This is true but our characters would believe the lie). The rebels were defeated and now the military are back to exploring new worlds for the growth of the Terran Alliance
