So many gentlemen in one place. Quite a spectacle

Eight players is/was my maximum count, and I think we've reached that, so it depends on who stays in or drops out at this stage, especially once I get the OOC up - I'm sure some people might decide to drop out if they don't like the story or setting particularly, or don't find a race they particularly want to play. Though, I'm hoping there'll be enough to appeal to everyone. 

I am currently working on getting everything up so it can be up soon and so peoples' excitement doesn't disappear, and so we can at least get character creation started quickly. 

To give you a hint on the story and setting, it is heavily inspired by Halo, Mass Effect, Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica (the newer series), Stargate SG-1 and many, many more things along a similar vein.
It is a quite clearly sci-fi setting, with numerous races co-existing peacefully in an interstellar alliance. Over a long time of relative peace, they have grown somewhat complacent. When an enemy long thought of as gone and thought of as a myth to scare small children with returns - or so it is assumed - it's up to a fighter squadron and the ship they're on to piece together pieces of an ongoing puzzle over two thousand years old or more to work out how and what's going on, and how to stop it. And many signs point to there being some kind of deeper, darker conspiracy at hand that may stretch into the interstellar governments' organization itself. 

With numbers and time against them, and little information to go on, and thrown from one battle to another, the squadron will end up having to balance the increasing odds, the information they find out. And as they find out more, they draw more attention from the forces - foreign and domestic - arrayed against them, for better or worse.
