This is a Space-Combat RP with a very heroic tone to it. With the rise of more Space Sim games, like Elite Dangerous and Star Citizen, I got this idea of an RP where we play as ship Captains. You choose your ship type, flesh it out with crew, weaponry, and all that sort of stuff. We also need one Admiral, to command the Fleet, mostly directing where the next battle will be. The Admiral will also be the Co-GM of sorts.
The very rough version of this story is that Humanity finally started to explore space, setting up colonies, and making alliances with various alien species. Very Star-Trek-esque beginning. Until Humanity met a race that could not be reasoned with, war broke out and the Alliance that the humans established is so far losing the war. Our RP starts several years into the war, with the enemy currently invading one of the cornerstones of the Alliance, the Sol System. This is where we push them back.
