Intro took longer than I expected because I kept falling asleep before I could finish. Everyone feel free to post to their heart's content now.

That would be ideal. We can just swap out the content of each other's posts.

I'm presuming mercenaries are allowed?

If so, I'll start working on an app tonight.

@gorgenmastBTW, what is the official name of the army/navy and the government here?
Eos Federation? Solarian League?
I don't see any mention of them other than the generalist mention as "humanity".

It might be a bit before I can post my IC, because I am out of state and my laptop shit the bed. Typing a paragraph post on my phone using the temperamental Docs app or unoptimized site itself is not very pleasant or fast.

Can there be multiple human governments? perhaps working together but I dont see humanity as being able to achieve perfect unity.

Also, can we have more information on the aliens? why did they attack human colonies?

<Snipped quote by Lucidnonsense>Depends on what do you man by that it's already a thing here.
The Federation seems like an interstellar equivalent of the EU rather than a strict one government system since nations like Chaptrap's Fomoria can exist in them.

<Snipped quote by Willy Vereb>

Fomoria is more of a constituent planet within the Eos Federation or whatever it is. Maybe others have achieved some kind of autonomy but Fomoria is still ruled from Eos while probably sending a few politicians to the central government to voice its own concerns. We shouldn't get too bogged down in fictional, interstellar politics but that's what I'm going with. We can say it's a newer colony or something.

@Willy Vereb
Are you in need of more vessels, Rear Admiral?

<Snipped quote by Aristo>I am a PMC or at least part of a PMC so I don't think regular navy units can group with me as my subordinates.
Though I do fantastically in fleet engagements. My ship is a strike frigate which makes it okay even patroling alone but at heart its main job is still to intercept incoming threats and defend a fleet.
If I wish to use modern comparison let's call this a Zumwalt-class without its infamous drawbacks.

<Snipped quote by Willy Vereb>

Oh phooey, I thought you were GM for some reason, haha But I see someone else is commanding the carrier now. Is your ship somewhere in the thread?
I see three sheets in the CS tab; how many aren't there yet? I'm not sure what class of ship I'll go with, but it seemed that most were smaller, like destroyers and frigates.

Captain - Work in Progress [+]

Captain:
Gender:
Age:
Rank: (If applicable)
Bio: (Brief history of your captain. The point is not to recount their life story, but to sow the seeds for your captain's motivations and aims by grounding them in a backstory.)

The non-stealthy fleet defense and patrol role prototype frigate hull is here.
I have 3 conflicting ideas for the captain so for the time being I left it blank.
