It once said that humanities fate was beyond earth. That since we first took steps we have gazed to the stars wondering what lay out there. As we grew and evolved from simple hunter gatherers fighting for survival, to an all consuming force. Earth could no longer sustain us so a space race began, To find a new planet to sustain us all.
In the year 2034 the spaceship "UEC HOPE" Left Sol with its crew of 56 brave Souls that all volunteered. All knew this could be a one way trip and each one knew this was for the greater good of humanity. This Voyage was to last 10 years while at every possible chance relay the information back to The United Earth Committee. with the information on 3 possible planets to inhabit.
In The year 2042 UEC HOPE Relayed an urgent message straight back to Earth stating they have made contact with an Alien race Humanoid insect race that appears to be friendly. They much like humanity have looked to the stars to survive. They was called the Otisha. An alliance was formed that year With the UEC and the Otisha empire for ever lasting peace and that both races would help the other survive.
In the year 2076 after several years of exploration 14 more races had joined the Alliance and the First Galactic Alliance * had formed each race was responsible for its own species actions. Thus any form violence such as civil war would have to be dealt internally. But those that threatened the other races the alliance would have far reaching backlash. This alliance purpose was to survive not wage war.
Between the years of 2100-2123 the 4th race to join the alliance what the humans call Yeena. Started a bitter internal conflict, A group of rebel fighters known as the Yumori set out to other throw the Elitist hierarchy that kept the poor people poor and the rich people in power. This 23 year war resulted in over 200,000 deaths on both sides. But the fight was favored for the the Yumori and a new system was put in place. one that benefited everyone.
In the year 2125 reports of ships from most races being attacked started to come in - threat unknown. And for the next year the attacks grew and grew.
In the year 2126 Alliance high council meet to sort out the unknown threat All races present and the decision to form the First alliance Fleet. Each Race must provide a total of 15% of its total space faring fleet to the alliance. Apart of this fleet was a special operations fleet. Code name Sigma.
The Mission set ups
You captains have been selected to join the Special operations fleet Codename Sigma Missions will be sent from Titan HQ. with a brief tactical plan on the mission. While it will ultimately be up to all of you to formulate a plan of attack. Sigma Is beyond top secret with only the councilman/women knowing the operations. This fleet is one of interspecies relations, so any distrust for one another must be left out of operations.
@Stitchblades I'd like to start on a character sheet as well as plan for my ship. I'm thinking something along the lines of a capital ship for soaking up damage.
