  • May get rejected if used too often or last agreement has not yet been honoured.
  • The greater the request the greater the strings/drawback.

  Space Station Superior

  Bastion • Defense • Sanctuary • Stronghold
  " "

  Space Station Superior:
  This floating utopia is massive. Cities upon cities stretch across its endless flat surface. Once a holy refuge it provided an escape from the tortures and torments of a morally and physically decaying dying planet.
  A war between good and evil ravaged the lands leaving many casualties. There was no place to hide, the only safety was in escape.
  Three planets pooled their remaining resources and magic to build the 'Space Station Superior'.
  
  Details
  Built by those who tired of war, those that were sick of all the killing, violence and hate. Refusing to accept it no matter what the reason may be.
  The station was built. Great and grand it is a true haven to all that promises peace and sustainability.
  
  Abilities:

  • Nano swarms
    
    Clouds of sweet smelling nano bots roam the station constantly healing, repairing and slowing the ageing of its residence.
  • Bountiful fruits
    
    Beautiful luscious modified plants grow in aplenty, baring rich tasty sustaining fruits. Highly nutritious and filling they revitalise and invigorate the consumer.
  • Sanctuary field
    
    A magical aura, mental manipulation, chemical adjustment, stimulation control. Every considerable aspect of the stations design is purposed to keep the peace. It's in the fruit, the air and all around. Means magical, technological and psychological prevent violence.
  • Judgement
    
    An energy cannon powerful enough to destroy moons and crater planets. The absolute last resort to ensure their defence and safety. It was the core that the rest of the station was built around.
• Demons of the Dead Planets

  
  

  Demons of the Dead Planets

  Fiery • Brimstone • Hell

  The dead planet:
  Once a lush prosperous planet it was eventually divided by conflicting ideas and ideologies. The conflict continued for generations as the land became barren and the air grew poisonous. As the planet died it opened up its fiery core spewing forth molten lava and acidic clouds.
  The land was truly inhospitable and relentless. Now unstable the surface is even more merciless.
  
  All the many years of death and darkness saw rise to new forms of beasts capable of surviving the inhospitable conditions. Dark, malicious and powerful, it is unknown if the demons were drawn to the dead planet, or had always been there.
  
  Demons
  The demons of the dead planet are large, powerful, cruel, malicious beasts. They have access to the ancient magics of old. They draw on the suffering and torment of any poor soul that should wind up on the surface. The only saving grace is that so far they seem confined to the dead planet.
  
  Extras:

  • The space station wards and keeps the demons bound to their planet.
  • Anything or one on the dead planet is completely untraceable due to dark magic and endless storm clouds.
• The red Nebula

  Description:
  This ancient portion of space has been avoided for so long it is nearly forgotten. Unsafe and dangerous it is a mine field of asteroids and debris surrounded a constant thundering gas cloud. With the electro magnetic interference interrupting even the most advanced sensors and the heavy gas and debris hindering vision, it is a very dangerous nightmare to try navigate.
  
  Dead ships float in this space, still getting beaten down until they too are nothing more that the debris that tears away at other ships. Reminders of those that tried before. Either the brave and adventurous or those with nowhere else to hide.
  
  To travers such horrid unfavourable conditions a crew needs bravery, a light nimble ship, powerful shields and a super efficient and intelligent AI.
  
  Locations beyond:

  • The space station Superior
  • Dead dark planets
  • Battered broken shells of old ships
  • Tortuga

Critical Points:

• The Lantallian.
  Their signature ship. Not only does the luxury transport vessel provide a means for travel and employment, but this heavy amenity ship is also a home away from home.
• Space Station Superior
  
  This place is a great refuge for anyone seeking sanctuary.
  Once aware of the mind controlling aspect it can be a bit daunting, if you are strong enough willed to hold onto those thoughts. While safe, not much is private. Magic and technology mix to determine the actions and intentions of all residents.
• The dead planet
  
  Some say it's one of the most dangerous places in the universe, others claim it's just an uninhabitable rock. Either way it doesn't seem to be a location worth keeping. Yet for some reason the captain of the Lantallian's thoughts are never far from this forsaken space.

Things to note:

• The Space Bar
  
  While they don't own it, (no one does) Niyati has been working on uncovering its secrets far longer than anyone else. He has made this a second home to his crew with places only his crew and clients can access. Within it he has built a trustworthy information network.
• Diplomatic immunity.
  
  Because of the usual nature of their passengers and cargo, the Lantallian is exempt from any simple or basic laws that might hold up their operation. Losing this would be detrimental to their business.

@Dark Light
I would not be opposed to having PETR17 being the ship's AI. He probably wouldn't care for it, but doesn't care about many things. I was going to have him be in the space-bar, but he probably would be more used in an actual factions, and since you created both, I don't worry about choosing between two people.

[Dark Light]

@Leotamer
I see no reason that when he isn't busy or needed on the ship that he can't retreat into the bar for a bit.

Maybe it's in his programming to keep active?

Best of both worlds.

[Leotamer]

@Dark Light
I think he would work for one or the other. Though, I am personally leaning towards this faction if it does well. Though I guess you can go ahead and sign me up

[Antarctic Termite]

mmmmmmmmmmmmalright sure I'll sign up Virgil here for now.

I just can't afford to be very active, given other writing projects. :p Depending on how the LBPF story goes we might see some Flak Macaque in here later on.

[Dark Light]

Ahh one more character!
Bump!

[Verdaux]

Mind if we throw Lyra in here? She could be the oddball magic person!

[Mataus]

Lyra and Will can hold up the magic part of this group 😉

[Dark Light]

We got a young girl and guy, space face, an onboard AI and a magic monkey.
Nice.

Just waiting approval now :)

I might host an item retrieval mission on one of the magic planets for characters who aren't currently caught up elsewhere. Can either start as part of the crew or join throughout the mission.

[Mataus]

A fun group with a whole lot of power 😄

[Antarctic Termite]

@Mataus

Your captain's an angel, your ship is fuelled by a demon, and every coffee machine on the vessel has been raided by a furry wizard.

we're magic as heck, yo.

[Dark Light]

@Antarctic Termite
Call your magic what you may, but I still think you are doing some form of soul binding.
:p

[Antarctic Termite]

HE HAS A STAFF AND MAKES THINGS GO BOOM. WIZARD.

[Leotamer]

Also, my character's name is still misspelled. His name is PTER17, not PRTR17.

[Dark Light]

@Leotamer

Fixed! Not only was it a typo but I was also spelling it wrong.
All done now though.

Say, can PTER17 travel to other devices?
I was thinking the teams holo-watches when they are not on the ship. If not I suppose he could just use the ships communications to stay in contact.

[Leotamer]

@Dark Light

Peter can be moved, but it requires a wired connection, he can't move through wifi.

[Mataus]

We're a thing now!

[Dark Light]

This post is doubling as an interest *bump* and also checking in with everyone.

Has anyone got plans or anything they want their character to go through/experience? What sort of adventure should this first one turn out to be? Happy to collab ideas.

My initial idea was an item retrieval that leads us into a cave hunting dragon eggs. If the GM permits it we could end up keeping one. :)
