Ataris Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 It has been over a year since the war between the United States and the Palatine Empire ended. With the two powers finally creating a stable peace, even the Romans were finally content. But no peace is bound to last forever. Throughout the past year, the two powers have grown so complacent that planetary defenses that are costly to maintain are being shut down, and all talk of war and the Hive has stopped almost completely. No one wants to remember those times. Which is why when a warship as black as night appeared outside a space station near Earth, no one was paying attention. The space station was not in the direction of the Deep End, rather in that of the Pegasus nebula, the region of space also commonly known as Asia. The station was all alone. Before them, the ship unleashed some strange sort of energy device upon the station, and then merely sat there. All of this was sent by resonant signal back to a lowly office in the Pentagon. Which is why no one noticed the station's screams. This entire RP takes place in the world of the Tour of the Merrimack, a four-book series written by R. M. Meluch. If you've never read the books, the technologies really aren't that difficult. Any book, really, will explain the background though. This is a total alternate reality, as I haven't even finished the fourth and final book yet. This is also my attempt at a structured RP, meaning the general RP plot is decided in advance. Meaning I don't want anyone having control of the new alien race introduced in this RP. Have fun!
