The Great War is over, and humanity, despite the odds, has emerged victorious. Though with the help of Covenant separatists led by Thel 'Vadam, or as he is most known by the Arbiter. Plus, the actions of the Spartan John 117, who went missing after the war conclusion and is listed as MIA.
While this is a time to celebrate the end of a destructive war and to the rebuilding of both sides, it would not be that easy. Despite the peace, problems and war still linger. From the Covenant remnants to the re-emergence of Insurrectionists that has started to appear on several human worlds. So, even after the end of the Great War and the peace that followed. Peace was not truly achieved in the galaxy.
But that would not stop those from ending these lingering threats to humanity. Wasting little time combating these threats, the new Spartan IVs, along with ODSTs and parts of the UNSC military, were mobilized to counter these threats. Now, one task force is heading toward the human colony of Argos V as a Covenant Remnant, the Spears of the Prophets is attacking it, and a task force is heading to the colony to defend it. Starting a chain of events that will lead to a greater threat than the task force can realize.

Hello and welcome to the rp. In this rp,
Set in 2555, three years after the end of the Great War. In this rp you will be playing as a group of ODSTs that are assigned to the ship
New Canaan is a doomed cause and has been left to rot. The local UNSC forces tried their best to fight off the Covenant in both space and land. Holding the line while civilians were evacuated while they desperately fought on. But the UNSC forces would be overwhelmed and forced to retreat from the doomed world with their surviving forces in tow.
However, to the dismay of the few survivors of New Canaan, the UNSC left them behind and abandoned the planet. Either by mistake, they were overlooked, or they were deemed too much of a risk to rescue. Now, as these abandoned forces figure out how to survive, they know that they would likely die on this rock, either to the Covenant soldiers or during the glassing. Yet there is hope, for it seems that not all of the UNSC abandoned New Canaan. For it was discovered that there was still an evacuation ship waiting in the system for two ONI operatives that are still on New Canaan. While it is unknown why ONI operatives are on New Canaan and why they are still here after the fall of the planet to the Covenant. It did not matter to these survivors, and now the group is trying to find these ONI operatives and use them to get off world before the Covenant can glass the planet. But, for the time being, and for unknown reasons. The Covenant has held off glassing the planet, and now the time is ticking to find these ONI operatives and get them to help with getting off-world before the Covenant can finish off what is left of New Canaan.
If they can accomplish this in time, however.

June 5th, 2025 a date that humanity will never forget. For that is the day the Xarzaens, a hostile alien race, invaded Earth. At first, the aliens, with their advanced technology, overwhelmed and massacred nation after nation. Europe was the first to fall to the Xarzaens, and it seemed like the rest of the Earth would follow. But as humanity united to resist the alien invaders, it was still a desperate fight to survive as most of humanity was forced to adapt to a guerrilla war style of fighting. As the Xarzaens started using brutal strategies to crush the human resistance as the years went by and caused major damage to the planet in the process. Until a spec ops strike team managed to steal a Xarzaen datapad. This datapad contained information about the alien's technology and with what alien tech humanity had recovered. Did the Xarzaens technology start to be reverse engineered. After some time, humanity started making the alien's own weapons and power armor. Did the tide start to turn, and eventually, after a strike team managed to slip themselves onto the Xarzaen capital ship. They took control of the ship's bridge and opened fire on the Xarzaen fleet. Causing massive damage and confusion as most of the fleet was destroyed in orbit and before the capital ship was destroyed.
Now with too few ships left and the humans gaining the upper hand. The last of the Xarzaen command discussed if they should continue the invasion. When news reached them that humans defeated a major Xarzaen army in open battle and were set to liberate Europe. Did the Xarzaen command agree to abandon the invasion and withdraw back to Xarzaen space. So they recalled what troops they could since they did not have enough ships to gather all of their troops, and they left the system in disgrace. Those Xarzaen left behind on Earth retreated into their bases and fortified themselves. Posed little threat to the surviving humans as humanity greatly outnumbered them, and now that humanity had their technology. It was an even playing field. Even though the Earth was devastated by the invasion and its people massacred by the aliens. Did humanity rejoice that they had won and defeated the alien menace. Now, after six years of war, it was the time to rebuild what they had lost and deal with the remaining Xarzaen on Earth.
For a time, this was the course, and a new united government was established. The United Earth Coalition was formed by the surviving nations, and the first President of a united Earth was the Indian Arati Padwal. One of the leaders of the resistance and under her leadership. Did humanity start to recover and use what advances were made due to the alien technology to aid humanity and repair the damage done to the planet. Along with clearing out what is left of the invaders from Earth and several Xarzaen bases were taken.
That was five years ago, and now a new government is in charge. For after five years of Padwal's rule, there was a coup. A man known as Lucián Carita, who was the leader of the resistance in South America, took control of the UN as he did not trust that the UN leadership could safeguard humanity's future and purge the government of Padwal's supporters. So now he and his loyal followers formed the Terran Union, the Terran Union. Which Lucián was installed as president and had absolute control of the new government. A dictatorship in all but name and resistance groups, including one in Europe, the Defiant, was formed to overthrow Lucián's rule.
For three years, the Defiant worked hard to overthrow Lucián's control over Earth. They were doing what they could to undermine his rule, and they were starting to gain headway. Growing stronger every day, and planning a major operation that would be set to liberate parts of Europe from Union control. Plus, they managed to make contact with the Americans and start organizing themselves. But disaster struck the Defiant. For all at once, their bases and safehouses were raided without warning by Union troops, including their newly acquired main base, the Liberty, which was an aircraft carrier. Because of the sudden appearance of Union troops, the Defiant was easily overwhelmed, and most of the rebels were killed and some captured along with the Liberty.
This seemed like the end of the Defiant as Lucián seemed to be victorious. But some managed to survive the ambush and tried to flee to safety. One group, after escaping the Liberty and getting shot down. They started their journey to safely and seemly the last of the Defiant. They will start to plan their next move even though the Defiant is seemingly defeated. This group has not given up the fight and will rebuild the Defiant and restart the resistance against the Union, and end Lucián's rule.

Overview
Hello and welcome to the rp. The rp is set in the year 2039, and in this rp you will be playing as surviving resistance members of the Defiant that have managed to escape the Liberty and are heading to a safehouse after being shot down. There they will try to plan their next move as they, despite the Defiant's massive loss. This group has not given up on overthrowing Lucián and bringing back the UN. So they will start the process of rebuilding the resistance and maybe finding other survivors and trying to find out who the traitor was that sold them out to the Union and nearly caused the Defiant's destruction.
Now, how the group got together, the player characters were originally on the Liberty when it was attacked and in the chaos. There was an evacuation order, and the chars managed to get to a helicopter and flee the scene barely. Only to get shot down somewhere in France while heading to a safe house. Where they will plan and rebuild the Defiant once they are in safety. While also trying to find other survivors and figure out who the traitor is who betrayed them to the Union.
So that is how the group got together, and how and why your char joined the Defiant is up to you. Also, if you join late, then instead of starting with the group then, you will be recruited during a mission or be the target of a recruitment mission, depending on the app. Along with possibly being a surviving member of the Defiant that was captured and now is the target of a rescue mission.
If anyone has any questions, just ask.
State of the World
It has been eight years since the end of the invasion, and the world is in a bad state. Most of the surviving population lives in the cities that survived the war with most of the major cities being reduced to ruins, while others have made settlements out in the wasteland, and some exist as nomads. Though most of the world has been devastated by the invasion. Nature has started to heal and has started to reclaim the ruined cities. Which efforts have been made to rebuild and repair what has been lost or ruined.
Currently, the world is controlled by the authoritative dictatorship that is the Terran Union. Led by the Columbian Lucián Carita, the capital of the Union is Geneva. There are several groups trying to overthrow the Union across the world, but they are disorganized. The most successful was the Defiant in Europe.
Though there are still Xarzaen bases located around the world and are fortified, most have stayed within their bases, with some launching occasional raids for supplies.
Technology
After the end of the invasion, humanity's technology advanced quickly due to access to alien tech technology. However, the technology humanity currently uses is often a mix of pre-invasion technology and reverse-engineered alien technology. So you can see a mix of both old and new technology being used. Though when it comes to powering said technology. Most are done by either advanced hydrogen fuel cells or small scale nuclear fusion. However, this tech is somewhat widespread and so there are parts of the world that still rely on old fossil fuels.
When it comes to weapons and armor, the security forces of the Union use conventional firearms, while the military tends to use magnetic-based weaponry. Energy weapons are reserved for the elites and spec ops units of the military. Though at the moment, laser weapons are the most advanced energy weapons available though there are rumors of plasma weapons being in use. Power armor is in use but only by the elites and spec ops units of the military.
AI has seen advancements but not as much as other advancements with reverse-engineered alien technology. Semi-autonomous robots have been made for both civilian, police, and military models.
Terran Union's Forces
The Security Robot - The lowest of the TU's forces. The security robot is semi-autonomous and is used to patrol the cities of the republic and guard low-importance buildings. Acting as both police and security and coming equipped with conventional projectile-based weapons. Though the robots still required human aid, they are still a viable threat since the Terran Union does not take disobedience or crime well, and they are programmed to be aggressive.
The Heavy Security Robot is used to guard important buildings and used when during a riot or protest. These robots have similar programming to the default security robots but are deadlier in firepower with their minigun and grenade launchers.
Security Force is the human element to the security robots. Acting alongside the robot forces of the regime. The security forces act as the military police of the regime and are found mainly in the cities alongside the regime's robots. They come equipped with conventional projectile-based weapons and receive the same military training as the soldiers.
Soldier the standard rank and file of the Terran Union military. The soldiers of the Terran Union are equipped with better equipment than the security forces and use magnetic weapons. They acted as the face of the Terran Union. Though they also act as guards for important facilities and on the front lines when dealing with the remaining Xarzaen.
Shocktroops are elite of the Terran Union army. Coming equipped with power armor and laser weapons. They are called in when a threat is too much for the soldiers and when they need more firepower or muscle. Also acting as guards for VIPs and other heads of state.
Ghosts are best the Terran Union has to offer and the most unknown about unit. Before, the Defiant was nearly crushed. What the Defiant about them is that they use a prototype set of power armor that is able to cloak the user and are not limited to one type of weapon. Preferring to use the weapon type appropriate for the mission. Though there are rumors of them using plasma weapons and enhanced melee weapons.
The NL67 Ares Gunship/Transport, is one of the more advanced vehicles to come out of the invasion. The Ares sports six laser cannons and two retractable missile pods. Plus, able to carry up to eight passengers. The Ares was developed near the end of the war, but due to the manufacturing costs when it came out. It remains a rare sight outside of military bases and is used only when needed.
The D-R4M Enforcer, the APC commonly used by both the security and military forces of the Earth State. Created during the invasion, the Enforcer comes with two railgun turrets and a machine gun. Able to house up to eight passengers
The D-21 Matador is the commonly used military truck used by the security and military forces of the Terran Union. Able to house four people, including the driver. The Matador comes with a railgun turret that is controlled by a control panel inside the vehicle, and there is a sensor node on top of the truck that is used by the gunner to identify and aim the railgun turret.
The M-74 Badger, is the commonly used tank used by the military forces of the Terran Union. The Badger comes with a railgun cannon and two machine gun turrets.
The X-3 Hornet, is the preferred fighter used by the air force of the Terran Union. Armed with six laser cannons and two missile pods. Like with the Ares, the Hornet was developed near the end of the invasion and due to the manufacturing costs when it came out. It remains a rare sight outside of military bases and is used only when needed.
Xarzaen
The Xarzaen standing at 7'0 and having dark blue skin. They have six eyes, two main and four minor eyes. The Xarzaen, what is known about them, is that they are an imperialistic species that invaded Earth for its land and resources. They were planning on turning humanity into oppressed subjects and slaves, and the reason for their harsh measures to crush the human resistance. It was that they did not expect the level of resistance humanity offered and used harsh tactics to crush humanity's spirit, which caused major damage to the planet. The Xarzaen that still linger on Earth after the invasion are isolated in fortified bases scattered across the planet. Most bases are in strategic locations and require significant force to destroy. Which after Lucián's coup and the formation of the Terran Union. Attacks on the remaining bases have increased, but Lucián, with resistance groups though disorganized, are a threat to his rule. Making it so that he has to divert troops to deal with the resistance groups. So now the Xarzaen, with no way of getting off world and abandoned by their kind. They are waiting in their bases, ready to defend themselves and take as many humans as they can with them.

His sister did not die just for humanity to be ruled by a dictator.
Background
Alain was born in Lyon, France, and the youngest of two. The son of a scientist and college professor, Alain early life was normal, and he had a good relationship with his family before the invasion. He was only twelve when the Xarzaens invaded. His parents were killed early during the invasion, and him and his sister were relocated to several safe zones in France as they fell one by one. By the time, France and later the rest of Europe were overwhelmed. Alain and his sister ended up in a old bunker that had been taken over by a group of French soldiers, and as the surviving European forces left in the region opted for a guerrilla war against the Xarzaens. Alain barely had time to properly mourn his parents' deaths and was afraid that they would be caught by the Xarzaens and end up like his parents. His sister did her best to comfort him and keep both of their spirits up during this time.
For years, Alain and his sister lived in the bunker and did their best to aid the French forces stationed there. His sister would join the French forces in their missions and conduct recon missions. While Alain did what he could and when he started to show an aptitude for technology. Did he start to be trained in tech matters and when the humans got their hands on the Xarzaen datapad and had access to their technology. Alain would be trained on how to understand Xarzaen technology and, more importantly, how to use it against the alien invaders.
He was eighteen when the war was finally over, and the Xarzaen's were repelled. But, Alain's sister was killed in the battle of Paris, which was the start of the liberation of Europe. He was deeply saddened by his sister's death but, he knew his sister did not die in vain, which did give him some comfort.
After the war and during the rebuilding, Alain decided with his skillset become a tech expert and help to bring back the Internet as it was heavily damaged by the invasion. He was a supporter of the new one world government that was the UEC and saw a future where humanity was united as a bright one. That vision of the future would be dashed when Lucián staged a coup, and the Terran Union was created. Now with a dictator in charge of Earth and ruling with an iron fist. Alain did not waste time to join up with the Defiant, a resistance group that was formed by veterans of the invasion and surviving officials of the UN.
For three years, Alain operated as a hacker with the Defiant. He used his skills to infiltrate and sabotage Union systems and networks. Doing what he could to help take down the Union and he was on the Liberty, the Defiant's newly acquired base when it was attacked by the Union. He managed to get to a helicopter and flee with other surviving members. He would unknowingly start the process of rebuilding the Defiant once his group reached a safe place, and he will not give up until the Union and Lucián is gone and the UEC is back.
