    Babylonia: First Contact OOC




    The Story So far.
    Quote Originally Posted by Exerpt from official report on the Idiran-Humanity War
    Fifth of March, 2593. Sensor arrays orbiting Titan contracted a sophisticated computer virus stemming from an incomprehensible transmission. After two hours and fourteen minutes the virus receded. A message reading 'Harmony' in every known language showed up on all networks, along with a set of co-ordinates for a meeting.

    Twentieth of April, 2593. A small UN diplomatic fleet, led by Capital ship [-UNSC Hospitality-] reach the co-ordinates specified by the message. Sensory information suggests that their comms were jammed and all ships boarded. Hindsight reasoning for this points to tactical espionage of UNSC systems and vehicles to find weaknesses.

    First of May, 2593. Colonies in the Xeno Delta, Argos Rho and the Pegasus Nebula report being attacked by advanced orbital weaponry. UNSC fleets are dispatched to protect the colonies. Earth and all off-world colonies are put on a war footing. The Tindrel Subservience offer their full support, sending one million warriors to assist the besieged colonies.

    Ninth of May, 2593. Combined UNSC and TS armies drive back the probing invader forces, culminating in the battle of New Kamchatka. Reports commend Admiral Baltimore Gregory's 501st Fleet for resisting a determined offensive, with the aid of Ts'rrk Bravo's Tindrel Artillery. Idiran scouts feign full retreat and the colonies begin rebuilding.

    Sixteenth of August, 2593. An overwhelming Idiran invasion strikes Human colonies in dozens of flashpoints. The fleets are slow to respond, having fallen for the ruse created by the Idiran skirmishing party. The Tindrel Subservience are hit hard, and with their Human protectors fully occupied, billions die in weeks. Human fleets kept in reserve form a defensive cordon around what are known as the 'Inner Worlds'.

    Twenty ninth of December, 2593. After months of intense fighting, the UN fleets are exhausted and the Idirans break through into the Inner Worlds. Evacuation protocol 'Exodus' is initiated, and the appropriate Admirals are ordered to gather refugees and jump out of the system. Fierce resistance of the Idiran conversion programme continues on a local level, with rag-tag militias directing guerrilla style raids.
    Thirtieth of December, 2593. A ragtag fleet composed of pleasure liners and ancient mothball cruisers exits slipspace above a vibrant desert world. Their home, Earth, light years away by now, is under threat from a species hellbent on their 'conversion' and their provisions are desperately low. Its either land or die. But the enigmatic and ancient civilization already inhabiting this mysterious world have other ideas.

    This story-line is set roughly 800 years before the events of the popular Roleplay The Skytower Rebellion and The Fall of Babylon. Through the events of what will be infamously remembered as 'The First Contact war' by Capitol citizens, follow or oppose an inexperienced shuttle pilot and his crew through the deceitful web that founded what is now one of the most powerful cities in the galaxy.

    Please feel free to ask any questions or queries you have, as this may be a little confusing for people new to the TSR universe. I strongly recommend you read the information on the previous two threads before committing yourself to this, as the background lore is what makes a RP so exciting; don't you think?

    Hey! This roleplay is a kind of prologue, so the tech will be less sophisticated. The focus would be more on functionality and efficiency rather than prestige. The reason for this being that the Capitol in the first roleplay had reached a plateau and were beginning to stagnate. The people in this roleplay are mostly military orientated. (When i set the premise you'll see)

    Love you too Grif. <3

    Here is the IC! Don't feel obliged to jump in, but i was feeling that post haha. Now, should i explain some backstory here or just tell everybody to read to first post or what? I don't want to ruin it by saying everything OOC again.

    So I added more to my bio... I'm curious on why nobody else has joined this yet? I figured this would be crowded already...
