“Long ago there rested such a grand race, a race spanning innumerable stars, a race so advanced that they were Gods to any younger races who encountered them. However within such time of span small to the Universe they disappeared, thought to be gone forever. Only old ruins of their once great civilization remain, such as the FTL Gates, vast super-structures capable of transporting whole fleets across the galaxy at speeds thought impossible to reach with FTL travel. As the younger races ascend to space and begin exploring the gates of the Precursors were used to expand out and explore the galaxy due to the limits of FTL. The only questions is why the Precursors disappeared, as What Remains of their once vast civilization is explored for answers.
What Remains is a advanced freeform Sci-Fantasy NRP, leaving a lot of what happens in pre-IC history up to the player, with few limits so long as thing stay reasonable. Notice the fantasy part, whether it being purely magic it or combining it with that soft buttery Sci-Fi tech, magic is a completely acceptable method of explaining anything in this RP. With that said, do not go overboard.
Another important factor is the limits on FTL. Due to how slow FTL is, it would take years to reach systems that are far away. However with the gates left by the Precursors going to another system with a gate is for all intents and purposes, instant. This should add an interesting layer of fun on top of the RP, on top of everything else we can use the Precursors for.
Beyond that I do not have much else to say, so go nuts and ask any questions you may have about the RP or regarding rules and apps.
