By 2045 the number of Human's on mars had reached 4000 and a research base had been established on the moon. A new kind of fuel, Cortonite, was discovered under the surface of mars in 2047. It was a miracle to Earths inhabitants, saving the people of earth from a growing oil crisis and suspending Humanity forward, both colonially, technologically and Economically. The fuel allowed for more settlements on other planets to be established much faster than usual, as well as speeding up the growth of existing colonies as supplies could get to them much quicker. By 2100, this golden age has helped Humanity colonise the entire solar system. New technologies to help with colonisation and exploration eventually lead into the creation of Humanity's first FTL drive which allowed Humanity to start to reach outside of the solar system. Given time, the newly formed 'Federation of Earth' unified all of the countries on earth and all of their colonies under one flag. Some people were overjoyed with this, but others, not so much. By 2300, the 'Federation of Earth' had thousands of systems under it's control, with many vastly different cultures and people. This caused tension between the peoples of the Federation, and after a long golden age the tension finally boiled over and large groups of systems began to announce their succession from the Federation. New nations were born, and the Federation eventually collapsed. In 2357 first contact was made with an alien race. Things changed from that point on, as Humanity finally knew that they were not alone. After this discovery, more and more new species of aliens were discovered from all around the galaxy. Alliances were made. Wars were fought. Empires rose and fell. Nothing would ever be the same The year is now 3057. The Galaxy looks much different than it did 700 years ago. Refugee's are telling stories of something new, an unknown threat at the very edge of the galaxy. How you deal with this, and everything else going on in the galaxy, is entirely up to you.

I've wanted to get my own NRP going for a while but never found a forum to do it on, but this seems like a great place for it. In this, you can play as a Human nation or an Alien nation of your making as long as it isn't ridiculously over-powered or just plain ridiculous. Please have a good level of spelling and grammar if you want to join, and be able to write at least a couple of paragraphs. I understand we all make mistakes when it comes to spelling and grammar but if it is near constant and unreadable then you will be asked to leave. Obviously I am open to any and all suggestions, so this can also serve as a discussion if it garners enough interest to do so. Thank you for reading, and I hope to enjoy role playing with many of you soon!
