Hello! About a year ago I made an RP that involved a group of criminals that were forced to explore and search the unknown parts of the galaxy, and I really enjoyed the RP but everyone got busy and we had to close it down...
I propose a reboot, and this time I have brought a lot of backstory and lore to this world!
In the year 2030 the lonely isolate planet of Earth sent its first brave men and women to Mars. 30 years later, the United Nations sent another crew to the Red Planet to start colonizing... This was the birth of human space travel. It took them another hundred years to travel farther, and eventually in the year 2338 Earth finally found the secret for galactic travel. So Earth embarked on the greatest expedition it has ever devised. Their search for Extra-Terrestrial life didn't take long, as they were soon contacted. The Human race soon encountered an organization called the Galactic Committee. The Committee consisted of different species from different planets that served under their set of laws to keep peace within the Galaxy. It didn't take long for humans to add their influence, as they had the first Human diplomat inducted into the Committee only 20 years later.
120 years after the humans joined the Committee there have been much more treaties, agreements, and prosperity. Humans now have allies, and have been exchanging technology, it was the Human's Golden Age. But, like every civilization, there is not total peace and order. There are some alien races that have not accepted the Committee's treaties and keep to themselves, other races have become intergalactic pirates. Planets and species will have their civil wars, diplomats will disagree, and crime is everywhere, like every colony.
At this time there was also a dropped rate in stellar exploration. It was an exciting idea for ships to go out into uncharted territory, to chart, explore, and record data of new worlds. That idea quickly died when more and more ships never returned back to the Committee. The farther out Explorers went from the known galaxy, the darker and deadlier it became in any direction. The harsh reality was that even though this was a Golden Age, there was always crime and corruption.
The amount of volunteers to go out and explore plummeted. In desperation the Galactic Committee formed a new law: Any criminal found guilty could be charged of their crime... Or, they could sign up to be in the Expedition Force for the Galactic Committee. Many of the criminals who signed up to explore the galaxy died within weeks by either attempted mutiny, pirate raids, or other complications... But there is one team lead by a notorious criminal that has survived much longer than anyone ever has, and has been known to defuse galactic tension.
They are called The Marauders. The crew is mostly composed of criminals, but some of the Galaxy's best have joined the infamous group to help better the galaxy, or for the thrill of adventure. Many crew members have come and gone (mostly by death), but the commander and captain of the Marauder's has survived through everything the Marauders have gone against.
The Golden Age is going strong, and mostly due to the work of the Marauders. Do you have what it takes to become a member?
That's the plot, but there i much more to this RP! We will be a group of stellar explorers that should have died a long time ago, but are just too good haha. Most of them are criminals forced to be there, or actually want to explore, there'll also be people who join volunteer on the ship to help better the galaxy or for their own personal agenda, the choice is yours!
Yeah, Once the RP goes up I'll make it clear that you don't have to be one of those five races, you can create your own! I'm glad this got interest! haha
I wish I could but I had to drop one of my other role-plays just to be able to keep up with the 3 I'm in with you. If I start to get more time I'll try and see about doing this later on but right now I just don't have the capability.
I might be willing to jump in here. I had a character in an RP that the GM disappeared from that I wanted to use. She could easily be modded to fit this one. :D
