Space. Vast, endless and full of stars and planets. The human race once thought it impossible to ever leave Earth and live on a different planet, even if that planet was the moon, but with man ever advancing in his capabilities proved the neigh sayers wrong. In the year 2086 the United World Space Association, or UWSA, funded a Tarra mission to Mars. The world watched in careful optimism as the brave men and women boarded their one way ticket into the future. It took a long time, then, with the limited technology available, but they reached the red planet with only minor difficulties. The mission was a success, and the next 25 years we sent more people and supplies to build a base to operate from. After the year 2130 the planet Mars was now a home for man, and this opened the eyes of the UWSA to the beyond.

We now jump ahead a few hundred years, and see what, through striving for the impossible, the human race has not only colonized the entire Sol System but two others as well; the Cuxxuk and Triolog Systems. It took a great deal of time and lives at first, but as technology advanced we became better equipped for spreading through space. where our biggest problem was, at first, was the time it took to travel these long distances. Fear of the effects of Time Relativity Theory we used Cryo-sleep, then tried to develop what was called Space Jumping. Quickly find the catastrophic aftermath of ripping open a wormhole in space we thought we were stuck with having to wait the travel time out. Until one group put aside their fears and attempted travel with the first FTL Drive. Needless to say they were successful and found no problem with Time Relativity for their test group. This has allowed us to get to the far away regions of Cuxxuk and Triolog.

The UWSA now FoS, Federation of Sol, faces a different problem: Rebellion. The outer two systems are in a war against the controlling FoS. Each system wants to be independant from the Federation for it’s own reasons. The Fos, in return, doesn’t want to give up it’s power over them, and so the endless waring has been raging for years. The fight is only even between the two factions because the GR, Galactic Rebellion, hopped on the chance to employ Pirates to assist them in their fight, exponentially increasing their military. Not all Pirates joined sides though some saw fit to take advantage of the war and intercept supply and pay shipments. We join the most infamous of these Pirates; Nathaniel (Star Reaper) Flint.
---___---___---
Nathaniel was in his quarters finishing putin on his frock as he stared in the mirror at his scared face. He was deep in though as to his plans and current mission when he heard a voice in his head. Why do you continue to do this? it was the voice of an old man, his father perhaps. He just stood looking at his reflection. "I fight in order to shed light on the fact that the war wont solve anything, only bring death and misery to their people." He said in his mind. We both no that is not why you are doing this. Flint didn't respond as he tok one last look at himself he before he left the bathroom, grabbing his pistol off his desk and holstering it then making his way to the control deck. He walled the long halls passing various rooms, and passages as well as the airlock stopping briefly to look in and make sure it was clear, then continuing to the control deck where he would meet and brief his commanding officers.
As he arrived at the control deck he took his place standing in front of his chair looking over all on deck. After opening a comm for the ship he announced. "This is the Captain, we are getting ready to make way for a Federation transport carrying weapon supplies for the ground base on Quadra. It will have four light escort class ships with it which shall make things interesting. Our mission will be to engage in combat and destroy the supply ship, immobilize the remaining escorts and escape. If things go to plan we shall make some FoS commanders short on weapons. That is all." He cut the line and began ordering his officers. "Helmsmen, set course for sector six and take to warp when ready. Clyde, as soon as we come out of warp begin sweeping for the convoy. Mason, once we have located the enemy I want to know what they are saying and if they know we are there. System Manager, I want you to begin electronic warfare to seize control of the ship, and once you do set the self destruct sequence. Xavier, you will notify me at once when the enemy has charged their cannons and do likewise. Once we have word on the status of the electronic warfare begin firing. Vale, once we have either started the self destruct sequence or destroyed the carrier charge the FTL Drive for our escape." He paused looking around the room then sitting. "What are you waiting for, A cliché, Engage!"
