Humanity's future is bright. A magitech civilization is flourishing, and has brought a new age of prosperity and exploration. Of course, all that happened a very long time ago, and the Ancient Civilization has since splintered into what we see today, leaving plenty of ruins and Lost Technology scattered about.

Humanity as it is now may not be as powerful, or a single empire spanning a big chunk of the galaxy, but they're still pretty darn capable. FTL travel was never lost, and spaceships ply the old space lanes just as they always have. The modern power blocs now include the Holy Balmar Empire, the Kingdom of La Gias, and the Lyonesse Federation.

Humanity isn't alone in the galaxy. They are beset by an old enemy known as the Bydo Empire. The Bydo are, as far as anyone can tell, horrible space monsters that seem to actively want humanity dead. It's possible we're just in competition for the same resources, but some historians suggest that the Bydo are either created by the ancient civilization, responsible for its eventual fall and fragmentation, or both. Bydo are capable of space travel, and also dimension travel, as they often appear from portals to a strange other-dimensional space they seem to call home.

Fortunately, humanity has a very reliable way of fighting back. Mages have been around probably as long as humanity itself, and magic is quite effective at fighting and damaging the Bydo and their strange cross-dimensional nature, since it can harm both their physical and spiritual forms at once. Magic is also the implement of choice in most law enforcement and similar scenarios, since it can be inherently tuned to non-lethal effects, unlike mass-based weaponry.

I suppose now there's the obvious question of "where do we start?" Beyond that, not much comes to my mind immediately, just got to decide how to set the stage for the IC stuff and get going.

Also, feel free to add info dumps of your own, as you need.

Alright. I have one idea on how to start: a small incursion by the Bydo on a human world perhaps.

That works. If you'd like to start us off, you're welcome to, but I can probably write something off that easy enough.

Seeing as how this is your setting, I would think having you start us off would be for the best, but I can get a post up if you like.
