The Fall of Outremer
The start of a conflict that took Humanity to the brink of extinction
OOC is up!
Our story follows the crew and passengers of the OSN Galahad's Glare, dispatched to a world on the edge of charted space. Colonists there stumbled upon an ancient device, and unknown lifeforms that died defending it.
A sudden and abrupt attack above the planet of Outremer preceded a swift and brutal invasion by an alien species previously unknown to humanity. Larger, stronger and wielding technological advancements far beyond our own. The ferocity of these invaders overwhelmed Outremer's defences in space, and has descended into planet-wide conflict with the ground forces.
Officially, Galahad's Glare was sent as part of a reinforcing fleet. Tasked with engaging the alien fleet in space, and delivering ground reinforcements. Unofficially, the primary objective is to secure the mysterious device the alien fleet seem so intent on recovering, moving it to safety, and studying it's true purpose.
What they discover will rewrite history going back hundreds of millennia, and change Humanity forever.
Welcome to The Fall of Outremer! @Ozymandias and I have an incredible story lined up for anyone interested in joining. Characters can either be part of the military forces arriving as part of the relief fleet, its civilian complement, or can already be on the planet, whether as part of the ground forces, or a civilian looking to escape. We'll be posting a more information soon, and there are some essential character roles below (you don't need to play them to enjoy to roleplay though!). If you have any questions in the meantime, please don't hesitate to ask!
