In 2032 Earth is attacked by a ship from another world without cause. The military somehow learns the location of their homeworld, and a colonial ship, one designed to take people and embryos to a distant world at a speed of 0.81c so that they can colonize it, is crewed by military personnel and sent to their world to take the fight to them. During the journey many of the embryos are grown in artificial wombs and trained as soldiers.
As these vat-grown troops, our entire life has been spent in ultra-realistic VR training for the assault. After more than thirty years, we are now arriving on the planet.
The VR simulation uses data from the research labs as well as the same simulations they use to develop technology to make it as realistic as possible. In fact, the only thing which the programmers of the simulation allow to not be realistic is the fact that if you die in the simulation you go into spectator mode so that you can observe the rest of the simulation. The only thing that you can do in spectator mode, however, is move without getting tired, watch the others, and speak with other spectators.
The simulation is monitored by those that have already graduated training, guaranteeing that no one cheats and that the simulation runs as planned. It also allows the higher ranked officers to evaluate the performance of the trainees so that they can be taught better techniques and shown their mistakes.
The RP will start before arriving, after we begin our deceleration burn. After a simulated landing and assault we will be briefed on the last bits of information they learned about the planet and dispatched to the surface.
