Dark Abyss (Low Casual Sci-Fi Space War)

[JessieTargaryen]

In a distant furture when Mankind has just barely reached the edge of their solar system, and are finally starting to colonize planets, they find an answer to their question of 'Are we Alone?' When they stumble across a Galatic Fleet of starships who deem the humans as hostile and begin to methodically wipe them from the Galaxy. When the humans have only their homeworld of Earth left, the attacking Aliens back off and are replaced by a friendly race, who have brought their ally to support the Humans against the Xien (pronounced Zin) Coalition (Two Alien races, including the previously hostile race attacking humans). A joint fleet is formed between the Humans and their Two new Allies. Though mostly Alien, a small amount of humans were brought onboard. The humans were armed, but this cease-fire did not last. The Xien have launched themselves forward in technology by a hundred years, and they are coming back to finish the Job. The Human-Aien Coalition, dubbed: Dark Abyss, is the only hope as this fleet is the best of all races, and uses experimental technologies, must bring their enemy to its knees. Or else all their races face Annihilation.

Alien Species:
Xien Coalition:

The Grüt

About: This Species is a Hive Mind Humaniod Insect species, on average they stand 8 feet tall and weigh around 300 pounds thanks to their heavy bone material and massive muscle strentgh. They are the lead Xien species, and also the inital attackers of the humans. Their food supply is a rare material that can be made by melting humans. Although the material occurs naturally in some planets. They are telepathic.

Strengths: They are very fast and very strong. The Grüt can move at 3 times the speed of a normal human and are strong enough to throw objects up that weigh nearly 2 tons. They are highly intelligent, and wear advanced armor that has force shields, as well as their Machine Guns and Rockets built into the armor. They see in infared vision, and have jet packs on their armor for extended jump capabilities.

Weaknesses: The entire species is controlled by a single hive mind, which if killed would result in the death of every member of the species. Their bodies are very fragile, if one were to expose the body to open air then they would die almost instantly. As their skin combustes when met with oxygen. Their force shields cannot protect against slowing moving objects (like a punch) and will fail if enough damage is taken.

Class(es): The Grüt consist of three classes, The Hive Mind, The Soldier, and the Scout (Scouts are much weaker than soldiers and only use knives and sniper rifles. They can also activate active camo on their armor).

Homeworld: Alpha Teris, located inside the center of the Galaxy. Uknown what forces keep it from being torn apart.

The Jitwaê

About: The Jitwaê are a species of Humaniod Lizards, who stand rougly 6 feet tall and weigh about 160 pounds. They are not very strong, but instead are good with technology. They are the pilots, engineers, drivers, etc. For the Xien Coalition, while the Grüt are the ground soldiers. The Jitawi are also known to be used as sabatours, since they know their way around technology. They feed on meat.

Strengths: Highly intelligent. The Jitawiê can look at any piece of tehnology and be able to use it like they built it within an hour. They are agile and very silent, allowing them to sneak around whenever they need to. They are resilient, able to adapt to extreme conditions of heat, weather, and posionous atmosphere. They regenerate limbs, so the only way to truly kill one would be to severe its spinal cord or destroy its brain.

Weaknesses: They are attracted to motion, so one could slip their detection by simply not moving. They are also not very strong, weaker than the average human their size. They also are highly allergic to water, needing instead to drink concentrated plasma found on their homeworld. Water causes them to have an extreme reaction and die instantly.

Class(es): The Jitawê only have one class.

Homeworld: Juno X-4, a large mobile space world that was built by the Jitawê after their homeplanet was destroyed, it is about twice the size of earth and currently orbits the much larger Grüt homeworld.

Haven Alliance:

The Xenoia

About: The Xenoia are an all Female Species, who look like humans and are abput the same size as them, except that they have different skin tones (green, blue, white, purple, etc.). They also have the ability to manipulate space-time, though this ability manifests itself in 3 forms; An impenetrable sheild they can lay down to protect an area for a certain amount of time; An orb of explosive energy that absolutely destroys every atom within its radius by making a blackhole, which will burn out after a certain amount of time and does not affect anything outside its radius; and it can also manifest itself as the ability to heal injuries, just short of injuries that cause instant death. The potency of all these skills (time it stays out or ability to achieve) depends on the indivdual's strength. This species used to reproduce asexually, but a pathogen made by the Jitawê makes it so they now require a male of a compatible species (human) to do so. This species also refuse to mate unless strong attachement to the other is felt.

Strengths: The Powers, and they are agile and fast. Able to move quick and strike hard with deadly accuracy. They are also very cunning and are experts at laying traps. They can take a few hits and keep going, though nowhere near the Jitawê. This species can also survive the void of space for up to 5 minutes.

Weaknesses: About as strong as a human, they are also easily killed by the Atmosphere of most planets, and require an atmosphere like earth or else they will suffocate. The Jitawê have also figured out what pathogens can be made to attack their immune systems.

Class(es): Split up by power.

Homeworld: Titan (yes, the moon)

The Veturi

About: The Veturi are a Humanoid Squid Alien. They stand about 10 feet tall and are very intelligent, as well as very tough. Their skin can deflect most blaster shots, save for those from a Grüt rifle. The Venturi are excellent with machines as well as with fighting. Which is why they are like the Jitawê for the Haven Alliance. Except they built droids to fly while they were fighting. They can fly using their wings, and are strong enough that a Grüt would lose a fist fight.

Strengths: Innteligent and Tough, they are a ruthess fighting force on the ground. Their pure brute strength combined with the fact that they have amazing aim makes them an excellent shock trooper. They are good with technology and can fly on their own power when needed. They do not need an atmosphere, so they can operate in the void as well as in any atmosohereic enviornement. Not to mention their thick hides.

Weaknesses: They are vurnerable to weapons fire from the Grüt who have developed weapons that can defeat this species. They are also very heavy and any planet with a gravity higher than that of the earth would cause this species to suffer from broken bones and bone fatigue due to their own weight over time. This species is also heavily attached to their machinery, having been known to become depressed when one is destroyed. Sometimes killing themselves, other times not.

Class(es): None

Homeworld: Earth, though they left the planet long ago.

That is the general idea for the plot, all Haven Alliance species are useable (Might let anybody with a Haven Alliance character make a second character for the Xien if they feel so inclined whenever this gets started). Though I would prefer to have as few human characters as possible (only gonna allow 3). So lwt me know if you are interested or have any questions! This will get an OOC at 6 people interested!

[Slamurai]

So I'm assuming everyone is starting together on the same ship, or?

Yes, they would. We are part of a small spec ops fleet (three or four ships) but the command ship is what we would be on.

And the RP would start off with the second battle for Earth

[The15thSpycrab]

Interested. I'd like to play a Veturi.

What kind of technology do we have for the spaceships? Weaponry, engines, radio, or any other equipment?

Good Ol' Cthulhu xD

I'll define it by ship:

Hydraxi Class Commanda Ship (Main Ship):
Weapons: Ventral Beam (The Glassing Laser that Covenant had in Halo), Point to Point laser defense weapons. Dual Proton Torpedo Tubes, and two 5,000 Megaton Planet Destroyer Nukes
Engines: 4 Sublight Speed Engines (Fastest you can go without being light speed) and a Spatial Disortion Drive (Slipspace style wormhole maker)
Radio: Translight Communication Via voice and Hologram. Heavily Encrypted.
Shields: Maximile Shield Generator (Strongest, but a Grüt ship of same class would destroy it)
Troop Deployment: Experimental Warp Pad (Beam me up scotty!)

Ravanger Class Carrier:
Weapons: Same except for three times as many defense lasers, and no ventral beam.
Engines: Same
Radio: Same
Shields: Same
Troop Deployment: 4 Dropships, 8 Drop Pods that return to the ship, And a port where one can dive out the bottom in a reentry suit and possibly a wingsuit style thing.

Pulgia Class Stealth Ship:
Weapons: Defense lasers, half as many as main ship
Engines: 4 Enhanced Yuriat Sublight Drives, 4 times as fast as other ships. Same Wormhole drive.
Shields: Jitari Stealth Shield (half as strong but provides active camo)
Radio: Same with Quantum Entagnlement Feature for extra security
Troop Deployment: 4 drop pods with return and stealth shield. Jump Bay (the reentry suit one). And by landing on the planet.

Triax Class Destroyer:
Weapons: Defense Lasers, Two 5,000 Megaton nukes, Proton Torpedos, Ionized Plasma Laser cutters (for smashing the smaller frigates and taking down big ships' shields), MAC (Massive Accelerator Cannon) shoots a metal slag about the size of a person flying at the speed of light, extremely deadly. Cutting beams for boarding an enemy ship, and boarding craft.
Engines: Same as Command Ship
Shields: Brute-Force heavy armor plating with built in ram on the front, and Hydra class Shield for taking a hit and keep on fighting.
Radio: Same as Command Ship
Troop Deployment: Jump Bay, 6 Drop Pods.

Note: ONLY STEALTH SHIP CAN LAND ON PLANETS. OTHER SHIPS CANNOT DUE TO THEIR SIZE.

Note 2: ALL SHIPS HAVE ESCAPE PODS IN THE EVENT OF THEIR DESTRUCTION.

So there are no carriers, or small interceptor spacecraft?

Also, when you refer to the Veturi's weakness of losing a machine, what machines do they have?

[JessieTargaryen]

Anything they build. I.E. The Droids, any ship, stuff like that. I'm leaving it to the controller of the character to say what they build.

And there is a carrier. I didn't list it, but you raised a good point. The carrier houses 16 Droid controlled small fighter craft.

[Slamurai]

Only 16? A modern Nimitz-class aircraft carrier can house up to 90 fixed and rotary-wing aircraft. Do droids make starfighter pilots obsolete?

16 because the starfighters are built for defense of the ships, not to attack other ships.

And these droids are basically androids built by the Venturi. So they do make starfighter pilots obsolete, however if some of you wish, I can make these androids playable characters so we can have some starfighter pilots.

Also if y'all think I should bump the number of fighters up, let me know. This is an interest check and I value your opinions. Lets make it the best rp we can.

ALSO: If we aren't at six intersts by tomorrow, I'll make the OOC anyways, and we can use a small group if we gotta. With npc's to make up for empty spots, sound good?

If that's the case, I totally want to play as an android.
