Humanity as abandoned Earth, for reasons lost to time, and made its way to the Andromeda Galaxy. Their first point of contact was within the Eden System of the Beta Quintant as the flew on "The Ark", the ship carrying countless humans. There they made homes on the five planets near the sun named Khepri; Excalibur, Photoria, Trelos, Esnara, and Cutania. There, they would meet many other life forms that had differing opinions on the humans; amusement, worry, pity, resentment, kindness, and more. As time passed, the humans would prove themselves a strong and versatile species, gaining respect of the various other sentient life forms.

Humanity, having made several homes on the five planets, began creation of The Knights of the Beta; a military force to protect their homes and be defenders of their sector. Tensions rose as the humans advanced technology and warfare, along with a strong army, but nothing would come of it. Until "The Invasion of Nivoros". A species from the Alpha Quintant, these one eyed, barbaric creatures sought to conquer the "feeble human" and the people around them. They stood ten feet tall and wielded barbaric weaponry but were a force to be reckoned with. In order to survive, humanity needed to pull together the support of everyone. With the help of The Knights and The Corps (the official force of the Beta Quintant) and the backing of every species within the quintant, the Nivoros were beaten away.
Humanity had gained the respect it had been searching for. The Corps, led by a collection of beings tasked with upholding order, The Council, was merged with The Knights to become a quintant wide force. What was once a human military was now a sector wide military. Although, it would be years before humanity itself was allowed a seat at The Council.

A galactic war has begun as the Beta, Alpha, and Epsilon Quintants wage a war against the Gamma and Delta Quintants. It began with the unlawful treatment of developing species that led to an aggression towards neighboring sectors. In order to defend their territory, The Galactic Watch (Beta, Alpha, Epsilon) fought back against The Brigade (Delta and Gamma). In an attempt to prevent a galactic rule under Vox Modaar, leader of The Brigade, the Watch sent countless ships to chop the head off of the snake. The war would last for several galactic years until The Brigade collapsed in on itself. An assassination of Vox Modaar by his own people led to the destruction of The Brigade and the end of the Galactic War. Humanity's role in the war would propel it to the front of every species' attention, though what they lacked in strength they made up for in ingenuity and versatility.
It was then that they were welcomed to have a seat on The Council in the Beta Quintant. It would eventually be Cartho Hemingway, once a captain of a SIR (Ship in "the Round"), that would be elected to represent humanity at the council.
Stardate 7872.9
Only five years on the council, Cartho Hemingway has made a name for himself with those of the Beta Quintant. Though, many view humanity as lesser beings, babies to age old species, most view them as equals. You are aboard a Thunderbird, a taxi ship transporting you from Esnara to The Jump, a device used to send ships at high speeds making travel easier, when it makees an unexpected stop at the Lotus Space Station, the largest station in the sector. It just so happens, that Cartho Hemingway and the rest of the Council were having a meeting at the station at the same time as every ship near the Eden System made dock at the Lotus. Malfunctions in every ship? A freak space storm? Or perhaps...an age old enemy returning to finish what they started.

Long intro to the world but...yeah. A space campaign with heavy influences from Star Trek and Mass Effect. This was originally an Table Top campaign I was running for friends but we ended up stopping as we couldn't get together often. I didn't want the work to go to waste, so I have a full campaign planned (only major plot points) as an over-arching story but there are countless stories to tell within this galaxy. I have a full list of playable races, descriptions of the five homeworlds of Eden and more. I'd prefer if everyone came from one of the five planets but if not, we can work something out. I'd very much like this to be a collaborative effort so everyone can feel like they're creating a world too and having fun.
I'm not super big into rules, besides the basics that come with RPing, and am open to anything if it ends up being a great story. Just wanted to see if anyone was interested in this at all. Because it's a Sci-Fi game in a huge setting, there can be multiple groups or it can be small. Like I said, many stories to tell. If it proves to be too big of a game, I'd be interested in having Co-GMs help me out but that'll come later.
Anyways, let me know if you're interested! I'd love to actually see this world come to life once again and for great stories to be told.
