[i]"We all knew this moment was coming. We knew that everything we did, would never be enough. Federation and Conglomerate joined together giving the world a sense of unity it has never before seen, it was not enough. We have lost contact with Admiral Constantine, who took the combined Martian and Earth fleets to confront the [b]Devastators[/b]. Genesis protocol is now in effect, we are leaving Earth. We are trusted with the burden to continue humanities legacy out in the stars. There can be no turning back."[/i][/center]

This roleplay is set in a (hopefully) fictitious future, where in the year 2196 experiments with a new type of faster than light (FTL) technology resulted in an attack by an alien race which tore through our defenses in the Three Day War only stopped by a joint defense in the orbit of Mars lead by Admiral Roland Constantine. After the war humanity banded together like never before, all factions uniting under the banner of the United Earth Council. Ten grueling years past, leaps in technology from shielding technology to artificial intelligence were abundant all in the hopes of preparing for the next wave. Nobody was of the impression that they wouldn't return, when deep space scanners detected them amassing a fleet far larger than the one that decimated our system a plan had to be concocted as despite advances in technology there was no way Humanity could survive such an onslaught. 

Project Genesis was concocted in secret, 12 Arks would be constructed to ensure humanity survived. Filled with the best and brightest humanity had to offer, each ship capable of hosting 10,000 waking people with a further 500,000 in cryogenic stasis. At the same time a hyperspace gate would be built in orbit, sending each Ark to a different distant solar system to minimize the chance of being followed or the possibility of sending the Arks into a dangerous system. Each Ark built with the best technology, the best resources humanity had to offer however the labor was mainly done by robots and trusted individuals to reduce panic.

10 Years later, with the [b]Devastator[/b] fleet on the move again Project Genesis was made public, riots happened as expected however many people seemed to understand the necessity of their sacrifice. Admiral Constantine, a hero of humanity delivered the address and promised that he would lead all military units willing to fight against the [b]Devastators[/b]. Not one member of the military went A.W.O.L, or asked to be released from service. In the mean time the best servicemen were assigned to the Arks, as well as Scientists from all fields, historians, doctors and engineers. 

The [i]Vitae[/i], our Ark and our home. Left Earth five years ago, with no sign of a habitable planet tensions begin to rise on the Ark. Divisions between members of the four nations is rising, political unrest growing at the lack of a democractic society. The year is now 2221. How will you ensure humanities continued survival?

In this Roleplay we'll start with a Prologue as the Devastators make their attack, and the [i]Vitae[/i] escapes into the void, simply as I feel it's an incredibly important and interesting part of the story. After that we'll be skipping five years, to where we are now. With our characters trying to do all they can to try and keep humanity in one piece. 

You may have some questions. Feel free to ask them, I've ran this roleplay in the past (before Real Life got in the way) so while there is room for those of you who are creative and like to world build there is already a lot of canon available to [url=http://no-turning-back.wikia.com/wiki/No_Turning_Back_Wikia]you all[/url].
