This, as the title states, is a High Casual Roleplay. As such, we'll be looking for people interested in that. We are also looking for dedicated people to be members of this. Check it out.

Near the end of the 20th century, and into the early 21st century, scientists with NASA discovered strange occurrences on the outer limits of the Kuiper belt. Pluto already had an elongated orbit, but there were two Dwarf-planets that exhibited odd orbital patterns. Years passed and NASA continued to study and learn. Eventually a theory came about. A scientist from South America brought to the attention of NASA, the possibility of there being a so-called "Planet X". The science behind it was sound, though out there in terms of many unknowns. The scientist theorized that Planet X was causing the strange orbits of the two Dwarf Planets, and that it was three times the size of Earth. What else did he know? Not much else. Many of NASA's greatest minds decided to drop the subject for two reasons. The first was that it would be too hard to get out there to see what was actually beyond the horizon, and second, it was too far from the sun to support any kind of life. 

Years passed and eventually people stopped looking to the stars in wonder, and started worrying about the wars and struggles of life on Earth. The idea of a Planet X had dissipated. Or so it would seem. In the year 2052, scientists with NASA developed the technology to view farther into space with much greater precision and detail. Of course, with this new technology came the resurgence of the idea to investigate Planet X. And so they looked. There was a problem with discovering Planet X. When viewed, the area where the planet would have been, showed a very large distortion, but it was unable to be clarified or viewed in any detail. The funny thing was that they could view beyond it in great detail. Again Planet X was bringing about problems, but this time NASA was technologically advanced enough to begin working on the problem. 

Cryogenic sleep was developed and fine tuned so that it could be effectively used. Astronauts were able to be sent further out into space without aging too badly. The shuttles were also much more advanced. No more risky take offs, or bulky, ugly ships. They were sleek now, beautiful in design, wonders of mankind. Many expeditions were mounted to the moon, Mars, Saturn, and every other planet. But none that had come close to Planet X. Finally, it was proposed. A small crew would be sent into a long nap and flown past the Kuiper belt and into deep space. They were to discover, analyze, and report their findings on the distortion.

They had no idea what they were getting themselves into.

In the year 2053, NASA had finished construction on the NSC Exodus. It was the first of it's kind, sleeker, more efficient, smarter, and built for longer distances. Not only that, but it was able to carry more civilian-esque passengers. No longer were astronauts the only people allowed into space. The Exodus would allow for doctors, scientists, soldiers, and other under trained personnel to enter the Great Dark Beyond. Giant bulky ships with detachable pieces were no longer necessary. The design of the ship, and the distribution of power, allowed for it to leave the planet as a whole, and travel through space as one. No space station docking was needed, no extra thrust stations left in space for later use were needed. The ship was completely able to fend for itself.

What was the goal of the NSC Exodus? To explore and discover the mysterious Planet X. The ship, and her crew, were to be the first to discover the Planet and the distortion that was hiding it. Her crew consisted of;
[b]The Pilot - (Vertical)[/b]
Perhaps not the Captain of the ship, but none-the-less, an important member. This person is tasked with the manual landings, the docking, and the safeguarding of the ship. He/She knows the insides and outs of his/her ship, and will be the first one to go to when something goes wrong. The Pilot may not be a doctor or have a Master's, but he/she is just as important as the rest.

[b]The Navigational System Operation, Navigator - (OPEN)[/b]
The Pilot's right hand man/woman. The Pilot can fly, but where do they fly? The Navigator decides that. The Navigator has an important role aboard the ship. They set the course for the ship and also handle all auto-pilot functions. The Navigator will know almost as much about the ship as the Pilot, almost. The Navigator will have had much experience, and is probably heavily college educated. A very important person for the ship.

[b]The Soldier - (RBY, maybe?)[/b]
You never know what you might find on a new planet. Hopefully, it is not aliens. The function of the Soldier is to mostly demolish any physical obstacles that the crew would find planet-side. The Soldier would also act as a peacekeeper aboard the ship. The Soldier will be armed and trained, ready to face any danger that may present itself. The Soldier is an important person.

[b]The Doctors - (Discontent-maybe, OPEN)[/b]
The Doctors play a very important role. They are there for two reasons. Make sure that all vitals of the crew are intact, and to make sure that they stay healthy. There are two Doctors, that is a safeguard. If a diagnosis is to be made, two opinions are better than one. The Doctors are smart, college educated, and very experienced. Or maybe one is and the other is a fresh, young, college graduate.
