General Overview:
In the year 2098 scientist, William Ford discovered something, something so complicated and technical that I, the narrator, can not even begin to explain it. The discovery allowed Mankind to enter space. Travel time between Earth and its Moon was cut to just minutes. It was the discovery of the century.

With this new technology humans began to rapidly expand their operations on the moon, colonising 50% of its surface within another 50 years. Ford’s discovery led to the setting up of several new projects, one being the ‘Genesis’ project, founded to try and unlock the secrets of faster than light travel. In the year 2114, scientists who had assembled in America conquered it, using Ford’s research as a base for the design…Something to do with really big magnets. The implications of the research quickly allowed America to kick start their space program, with several other countries getting on board, inspired by the prospect of finding new life.

2120 - The first ship of the UEF (United Earth Federation) was ready to be launched.

2121 – First contact with the Pefurian race, who are just about to begin their own space program. Peaceful relations are established and two races begin trading immediately.
- First contact with the Grunfor race – They have been searching the stars for several years and readily accept the Humans and Pefurians into their already established galactic senate, of which two other races are present.

2122- 25 – The races begin trading technology and resources, many pro-aliens laws are passed and integration between the races is fairly smooth, with a few exceptions.

2126- - The senate funds a new unified effort to branch out into the universe and discover more life. The best of the best are handpicked from each of the current races to be part of the program.

2130 – The assembled team leave from the Grunfor capital planet.

Technology:

Technology in the year 2130 is a lot more advanced than we have today. Combined, the Senate commands an array of superior technology.

Shields: Shields have been along for a long time, although the Humans drive to master FTL speed had caused them to ignore this technology altogether. However, the other races had managed to master this. At current Shield technology is fairly advanced with planetary shields being installed over most of he senate’s planets. The shields on the Ford are top of the range, surpassing even them. However Shield technology has yet to branch out into personal technology, meaning that personal shields are yet to exist.

Weaponry:
Weaponry within the senate is very advanced, and experimental. Laser weaponry is fairly new advancement in the Senate, discovered by a team of Human and Grunfor scientists. Lasers are efficient and cheap to produce, as well as effective as against most materials. Laser are able to be fitted into any guns.
The Fey have their own brand of laser weaponry, generated by specially bred creatures that emit plasma when threatened. The Ford has incorporated a few of these into the ship, due their even smaller energy cost. However, these creatures cannot be controlled by computers, making them a little unreliable.

Nuclear missile technology has also improved greatly, they are more precise and effective, however rarely used. The Ford is equipped with a few, only to be used in extreme situations.

Melee weaponry had progressed little. The most popular begin a staff, especially the electric charged ones created by the ‘Homs’

A.I: A.I is a recent development, although basic forms of it existed long ago, they have only just become the advanced versions that they are in 2130. Current A.I is able to run the entirety of a ship without much of a problem, however they have never been tested on a ship as immense as the Ford. The Ford is equipped with a small A.I system that runs basic systems such as cleaning and managing supplies. The Engineers who designed the ship ultimately decided against a full ship-wide A.I., unwary about what it would be capable of.

Ground Vehicles:
Are a lot more refined and efficient, energy wise. They demand a lot less energy, with a lot more power. Basic hovercraft, via propulsion is available across the Senate. There has been an increasing trend toward the vehicle. The Ford comes with a few hovercraft and personal vehicles.


RACES:

Humans:

Appearance: Does this need explaining?

History: See timeline

Others: Humans tend to be optimistic and brave, but do not excel in an area of expertise. Jacks of all trades.


Pefurians:

History: The Perfurians have always lived peacefully on their Homeworld of Perfus. Any disagreements would be settled in the grand arenas, large coliseums constructed to host these huge debates. Often political and social problems would be sorted out in these fierce confrontations. Perfurians also have a long history of expression, with many practising art and drama as a pastime. Unlike many races who gain respect through strength, the Perfurians gain it through their creative expression.

Appearance:

Others: Perfurians are peaceful, although with the integration of the other races, there are an increasing number who do not share this view. They excel in areas of art and expression. Their spaceship designs are sought by many for their beauty.


Grunfor:

History: The Grunfor have lived on their Homeworld, Grunfor, for thousands of years, excelling in the art of commerce. Grunfor’s live for money and often embroiled in ‘Corporate wars’ Wars instigated by the rich to gain a monopoly. The wars are encouraged by the leaders, believing in the survival of the fittest. Similarly to the Perfurians, they are fought on large areas especially designated for them, with rules regulating fair play. One such rule beignt that armies have a maximum size of 1000 troops. The Grunfor developed FTL travel before humans and had even created a galactic senate (To fuel their greed) by the time they were discovered.

Appearance:

Other: Leading a corporation often requires a great deal of charisma, and as many Grunfor aspire to be at the top, many have this essential trait. The Grunfor are also persistent creatures and great hagglers. Due to their small stature they are nimble and often make great spies or assassins.


Hominispetra:

History: Abandoned by their creators, the Hominispetra are a race of synthetic creatures. Skilled with computers and mechanics alike they excel in all areas of shipbuilding. Due to their advanced optical protocols they are also great warriors and come into their own when confronted in combat, able to wield a gun without any of the disadvantages. The ‘Hom’ are lead by the original Hominispetra, with the second in command being #2….etc.
‘Hom’ do not have names, they have numbers.
'Hom' tend to be quiet and reserved, speaking only when spoken to. They also have a group consciousness, their minds working as one when in close proximity, allowing them increased productivity and data sharing.

Appearance:

Other. ‘Homs’ have a bonus in combat due to their advanced sensory skills and lack of fear. They also make great engineers and scientists, thanks to their innate knowledge with all things scientific and mechanical. These abilities are amplified when in close proximity of one another.


Fey:

History: The Fey were found on the brink of extinction by the hands of some unknown race, wearing masks and seeking only destruction. However, many of them had escaped in what little Moss Ships they had left and were easily accepted into the Galactic Treaties with their extensive knowledge in the biological field. They rely on no sort of machinery, but instead, all kinds of organic materials and substances, not to mention about how to reproduce them.

Appearance:

Other: Unique in more ways than other races, especially considering the fact that they are born with two different minds. One of which, is their own personal soul given to them at birth and the other, is a collective mind that every Fey shares, known as the Leyline. This Leyline gives them access to a database of knowledge that is hidden within bits and pieces of each of their minds. Their ships are made up of a special space moss, that is grown for that singular purpose and used for interstellar travel. It can repair itself and has it's own pseudo-technology of sorts, including a sensor-radar and radiation-emitting radios.


The Ship: - The Ford (Named after William Ford)

The Galactic Senate has funded the construction of a state of the art ship for the upcoming mission. The design and technology used was influenced by current Perfurian, Fey and ‘Hom’ models, and was funded by Humans and Grunfors. It is a fairly large ship, which can house up to 2500 men at any one time. It also boasts a variety of facilities:
- Cockpit
- Fighter / Interceptor / Bomber Hangar
- Drone Hangar
- Heavy weapons bay
- Portable weapons bay
- Medical bay
- Prisoner hold
- Control room
- Engine room
- Kitchen
- Sciences Laboratory
- Chemical Laboratory
- Prototype Creations Laboratory
- Mess Hall
- Living Dorms
-Recreation areas (Gym and lounge)
- Storage
- Repair Facilities.
- Communications Bay.
- Virtual Combat training areas: Melee, Long range and Short range.
- Fey Observatory - Esentially a small garden where Fey can grow their special plant-life.

Appearance:

Other: It boasts the strongest weapons available and matching shields. 2 front mounted lasers and several turrets lining the top and sides. The shields can take a couple of direct hits and will require several hours to recharge once spent. Scientists have equipped the ship with the ability to transfer energy from one system to another, sacrificing offence for defence or vice versa. The ship also carries a squadron of fighters for additional offence, and drones for recovery and repair.

Titles / Ranks:

Captain - Filled by me. I won't be too strict, promise

Co-captain - Will fill in for the captain if he is unavailable due to sickness or other circumstances. This can be doubled with another position.

Officer of the Watch – Takes the bridge when the Captain and co-captain are unavailable. Will oversee other things also.

Head of Security - Tasked to keep order on the ship and will often be part of land missions.

Note: The Captain, Co-Captain, Officer of the Watchand Head of Security will have access to ALL areas of the ship.

Member of the Science team - Commissioned to come along to help examine life forms found, or determine if a planet is hospitable. Integral to the success of the mission. Positions will include Geologist, Xenobiologist...etc.

Medic / doctor - Self explanatory.

Engineers - May be the Head of Engineering or something to do with the upkeep of the ship.

General crew members - Navagations expert, Kitchen staff or even a cleaner

If you can think of any others feel free to use them.

Other positions will be allowed to most of the ship, but will not be allowed access to areas to which they don't belong, unless they have permission. E.g The doctor cannot enter the Engine room.


Character sheets:

Name: 'Captain' Buford Ky'lee
Gender: Male
Race: Grunfor
Age: 35.
Position: Captain
Appearence: Buford is an above averge built Grunfor, his 4 arms and legs being comparable to tree trunks due to their size and strength. He had lage drooy donkey-like ears and dark stubby eyes. His plated nose forms a perfect triangle inbetween his eyes and is rather protrusive, a sign of true Grunfor masculinity. His mouth is large, but smooth looking, it doesn't dominate his face like many other Grufors. Buford has a little bit of a belly going on, but don't take it the wrong way. It is pure muscle.

History: Buford was raised in a wealthy monopoly owning family on Grunfor. He was brought up to be ruthless and greedy, like most of his kind. At the age of 15, he led his fathers forces into battle for the first time, and won. His father saw that Buford was an excellent commander, able to instill his forces with morale and confidence. He was aso very resouceful, able to make full use of the army he was presented with. Eventually Buford went on to become a champion on the 'Corporate War' scene, earning his father more and more contracts and business partners. Over his 20 year career he gained the title of biggest streak in wins - 11, and had won over 25 in total.

After attracting the attention of the government, he was recommended to the senate to lead the upcoming space exhibition, stating that his experience in the wars had warranted him the position - They accepted. Buford readily took up the position, fed up of being a lackey for his father and was shipped off immediately for extra training. His father, now forced to lead his own armies was destroyed by his loss and lost everything.

Personality:
- Charasmatic - A skill honed by many Grunfor, but none as much as Buford. Buford has a way with words and speech that many will never be able to grasp. Able to inspire the most despressed and unmotivated people with little than a few words. His silver tounge has managed to get him many things from freebies to women. He is very persuasive.
- Napoleon Complex - Grunfor is jealous of the taller races and often make comments about this. He gets very frustrated by his small stature and is prone to outburts when he is unable to do something because of it. Although he does recognize the advantages of being small, he longs to be big. Because of this, he enjoys doing things better than those who are taller and will work with zeal to outdo them in anything. He can often be found in a foul mood because of this trait.
- Adventurous - Buford has always been one for adventure, but his father's will forced him to stay on Grufor, fighting pointless wars. He is curious and inquisitive, taking a great deal of interest in matters of science and exploration. This trait often means that Buford will be reckless and impulsive, landing him in awkward positions most of the time.

Other:
- Leadership - His Charisma and charm contribute to his ability to inspire and lead.
- Combat training - Trained in a variety of weapons, melee and ranged. He does not have expertise in any of them however. He often plays dirty in fights due to his small size.
- Has two laser pistols and a small knife. He wears his 'Ford' Navy blue uniform and matching cap.

I'd prefer people to have just one character, there will be enough players to make it confusing enough, adding even more would take it to a whole new level.

Sorry.

The Fey are on the ship, yes.

They aren't my creations, but I think they are 60 - 70 inches tall if I recall correctly. And no, I don't think they have Alpha males.
