I'd be interested if there's a spot open

As I've had a lot more interest than expected, I might be willing to extend the numbers; I'm just wary of people dropping out quickly as has happened in other games I've run. I'm not implying anyone in particular will, just that it's something that tends to happen, and I'm keen to be able to put some energy into developing character-related plots and back-stories with people who stick in for the long-term.

The plot kinda reminds me of an interstellar version of Gundam AGE. Which is a bad thing, but I'm sure you can't do much worse than the hacks that wrote it.

With a back-handed compliment like that, how can I go wrong :P 
But more seriously, I haven't seen AGE, so any comparisons are coincidental. And the summary I gave above is exceedingly rushed and very lacking in detail, so I'm sure it'll be very different to AGE when it gets going, and I can give a more detailed explanation.

I can see how you'd take that idea from the summary, but the enemy is quite definitely real and not manufactured. It's more that within the government there are individuals and groups who may have known more about what was coming, or have their own agendas and can turn the fighting of a war to their own advantage for all sorts of reasons. 

I've almost drawn all the OOC docs together, so the thread should be going up later today.
