"Before us, only humans were allowed to drive a spaceships. Now we have our own rights to do so. Welcome to the military boys!"
The date is 2282. Humanoid robots are real, and have existed for nearly 3 centuries now. They talk like us, they do things like us, and some even look like us. As soon as the first intelligent robots were made, humans have started to install modules that would cause them to process a wide array of human feels. Fear being the strongest of all. This at the start created robots that were really shy in personality. But as the robots became partners to those who designed the robots, it became clear that such safety measures were not necessary. Neither side wanted a war. However robots wanted rights like the others. They were treated like african slaves back in the 18th century. As more and more publicity was given to this matter, the USR military was pushed to the edge. They were required to make a squad that is composed entirely of robots. So Squadron 0 was born. The first squad that is made up entirely of robot pilots.
Humanity might have united once in the early stages of space travel, but that is no more. Most ships have jump drives allowing them to jump a few AUs at a time. However jump gates are still required to inhibit larger jumps, and putting these down requires huge spaceships, with immense firepower to defend themselves against those who don't want jumpgates. Mankind has divided into 3 larger factions, all with their own resembling organizations. There is is the USR or the United Space Research. They seek to develop new methods in space travel, and bridge gaps with different solutions to others. They belong to the USA (not the existing one) or the United Space Agency one of the three factions. They unite many nations (as the anme suggests) and have large territories. There is the Zarek Weapons Systems (Зарек оружие систеm) a Russian mega corporation that has access to some of the most militarized equipment. They use conventional ways to deal with issues that come their way. This usually ends up in "We need bigger guns" and "Put on more armor". They belong to the (probably no surprise to the most) NSU or the New Soviet Union. They are currently the biggest faction and control the most territoroes of all three. And lastly but not least, there is the Titan Defence Systems ( my google translator said no to translating to japan). They are a group that has access to the most advanced technologies, with their smart guns, and Defense Matrixes. They belong to the ASA or the Asian Space Alliance led by Japan. They have the least teritories of all, but the most exotic ones of them.
And humanity is now on the brink of a new war. The race for new planets and resources began, with more and more jump gates popping up. Every faction strives to expand their territory and to sabotage the other's gates. Soon the conflict will be open, and no national gate layer will be safe. That is exactly why there are some neutral worekers who would do this job. Mostly organizations that belong to no one's side. The work is often done by robots. they are the real pulling power when it comes to building in space. Because of this it is important to have someone protecting them. And who better that other robots! So as we speak a USA fleet with many gate layer's have begun their voyage to the mysterious and exotic planet of Mawei, one of the core worlds, sang to be full of riches. Squadron 0 is also onboard the capital ship leading the fleet, the USS Mahagony, a huge battleship, more than 2,5 kilometres long, equipped to the teeth.
As you can see there is much to understand, but if you have any questions just ask. Also I took a LOT from Fractured Space, a game I ahve been playing non stop the last few days. The factions are all from it, along with teh technological level of the humans/robots. So what are we supposed to do? We are squadron 0! We control a rouge squadron assembled of different ships. We have our own base ship, the USS Gally a small cruiser lenghting 922 metres. I expect at best 5 players to participate, me included, however if it is needed I could pilot the Gally and be a different kind of GM.
The Character Sheets will requier you to think a bit before posting it, as I will want robots that re unique and have a reason to exist. Like why did they make the series, and what kind of presonality they have. Also don't forget that these robots are individuals, and not all are made to be household robots, some are made to just exist, much like humans are born. This leads to a lot of custom robots to be made, created by a hobbyist.

@6slyboy6 This does sound interesting. To be honest I am a little scared of the typos and spelling going on in the synopsis. I mean, I am a terrible speller, but I let spell check fix me in most situations. Go back and re-read your post, edit out the mistakes, I'll edit out my comments about the issues to just an 'I'm interested' and we'll go from there if there is any one else who shows interest! I'm not trying to be rude, just candid.
@Mr Rage Candid you are. Look man, I had shit on this site recently, so if you wanna be picky, then go ahead. Sorry, candid. Look sometimes when you have a brainstorm at 1 AM and you make a post from your phone, you don't go back and spellcheck. Can you read it? Yes. Can you understand it? Probably. Problem solved. I don't edit a post if no one is interested for months. Tell your friends and MAYBE, if we get enough people I'll make a top notch OOC. Until that I'll take the minimum.
