Galaxy at War: Rise of the Crimson Legion

Hello and welcome to The Crimson Legion. An elite group of mercenaries free from the ties of any Galactic Faction and work to make the galaxy a better place. Operating outside the law and taking any mission they feel requires their special touch. They are known to accomplish any mission no matter the odds. But as the galaxy starts to crumble can they stop it all from falling apart?

Galactic History

It has been thousands of years after man fist set out onto space and started its colonization of space. Mankind soon colonized the entirety of the Sol system and soon reformed itself under the SSA (Sol System Alliance). And when mankind reached outside its home system it wasn't long before they made contact with extra-terrestrial life and as is mankind's way that soon lead to war. The First Contact War ended after 50 years with signing a treaty to avoid either side from being annihilated, and with the SSA weakened by war and unable to retaliate several of the outlying colonies broke away to govern themselves. And thus the UGC (United Galactic Conference) to establish communication and peace between all the factions. Time passed and humanity continued to expand, new alien races were discovered and brought into the UGC and the galaxy seemed to be at a time of piece.

But recently things have been changing, the UGC is little more than a puppet to be controlled by the SSA and moves to support their goals. This has caused a great amount of tension among the factions as the SSA asserted its control over weaker factions. And just a week ago the Kingdom of Tallos accompanied by many of the Anti-SSA factions dropped out of the UGC claiming it had become corrupt and unfair. And now the two sides sit and wait preparing for war.

Notable Factions

UGC - The United Galactic Conference plays the part of Earth's UN attempting to keep peace across the galaxy, giving every faction big or small a voice in the galactic community and acting as a neutral party to oversee disputes.

SSA - The Sol System Alliance is one of the most powerful factions across the galaxy coming from the home of mankind the SSA still looks in favor of humanities interests over others.

KOT - The Kingdom of Tallos is a strong faction of the outer rim of explored space although small in size it is able to stand up to most any other force in the galaxy.

(More to Come as introduced)

Playable Races

Humans
Originating Planet - Earth (Destroyed 500 years ago by an asteroid)
Appearance - You most likely are one so I won’t bother explaining this one
Average life span: 80-120 years
Description: The decedents of Earth and the most common species in the galaxy. Although they have no distinguishing strength, they also have no distinguishing weakness (the jack of all trades)

Hissho
Originating Planet: Huygen
Appearance: Avian like humanoids that thrive on warfare
Male Hissho: Standing 6-8ft extremely muscular and agile
Female Hissho: Standing 6-7ft very thin and agile
Average life span: 50-60 years
Description: For much of their history, the Hissho lived as tribal hunters. Their constant warfare slowed their technological progress and path to civilization, but eventually, they, like many other races across the galaxy, united and reached for the heavens. Their cultural affinity to war makes them excellent soldiers and gives them an edge if engaged in melee combat.

Aranites
Originating Plant: Alcrolite
Appearance: A short humanoid alien who's skin color ranges from blues to deep purple. The race stands from 4-5 ft tall, and are physically weak, yet mentally strong
Average Life Span 150-200 years
Description: A very intelligent and magical race the Aranites were the first race to discover and master Magica. And since its discovery it has become an intergral part of their society and is used for daily life. This use of Magica was what lead the Aranites to the stars. Even today Aranites are the only race that can use Magica without an amplifying rune.

Vandrell
Originating Planet: Vandred
Appearance: Normally a short alien race that required an environmental suit to survive anywhere outside their home planet. Although most Vandrell swap out their human bodies for mechanical bodies.
Average life spans: 40 in original bodies, near immortal in mechanical if maintained
Description: Vandrell society is devoted to learning, philosophy, exploring, and study. They view the universe not only with awe, but also as an intellectual challenge for them to accept. Optimistic, they hold full faith in scientific progress and technological advancement. This drive to advance lead them to space early on, as well as mechanical enhancements to their bodies. And these enhancements lead to full Cybernetic bodies to house their vital organs and extend their lives.

Galactic Tech

Melee Weapon Tech

Plain - Normal melee weapons made of sharpened and pointed metal

Chain - Melee weapons made with a chain mechanism built in, once activated the blade acts like a chainsaw cutting through flesh easily

Cartage - Melee weapons that hold a clip filled with pellets of black powder in the hilt and once the trigger is pulled the powder is ignited and carried through a hollow slot in the back of the blade. When the gasses are released behind the tip of the blade it exerts a powerful force pushing the blade forward.

Plasma - A melee weapon who's blade is made of two separate materials, the blade is a very conductive and strong metal while the edge is made of a metal with a low melting point. When activated the blade heats up to a point where the edge melts to a plasma state but is held in place by the magnetic pull of the blade. It is able to melt through most things i given enough time and even grazing blows can leave nasty burns.

Ranged Weapon Tech

Cartage - Standard firearm tech, a cartage with black powder and metal bullet are placed in a chamber when a trigger is pulled the black powder ignites propelling the bullet forward out the chamber(Cannot be used in on oxygen environments)

Laser - Beams of focused light used in a continuous fashion. Prolonged exposure can melt through anything, but unlikely to do any damage in a glancing blow

Ion - Charged particle beam consisting of Ions. Damage the target by disrupting its atomic and/or molecular structure.

Plasma - Shots of super heated metal able to melt through anything but slow and easier to dodge than other projectiles

Ballistic - Rockets, missiles and the like. Fuels burned to propel a warhead that explodes on collision (things that go boom)

Mag Rail - Magnetism used as a weapon. Using an intense magnetic field to propel a solid slug at extremely high speeds. This type of weapon has incredible stopping power, but takes a long time between firing. (used in sniper rifles, and ship guns only)

Armor Tech

Metal - Metal plates made of titanium that is built to withstand most any attack, thickness depends on how much protection you want. Very strong, but can be heavy.

Carbon Fiber - strands of carbon weaved together to form a cloth, these cloths are then layered This creates a light material that provides a bit of protection. Also the layers can be glued together, Once cured it creates a strong, light material. Light and maneuverable, but does not provide as much protection as Metal

Hybrid - A combination of metal and carbon fiber many ways to do this and as such the protection provided varies with the technique used.

Shielding

Deflector shields - also known as deflector screens, deflectors or simply shields, were translucent or transparent energy fields produced by deflector shield generators. These generators could be placed on planets, droids, starships, space stations and individual buildings. The primary purpose of the shield was to block or deflect projectiles and lasers from hitting the object under protection.

Shield Gauntlet - was a small personal shield worn on the off-hand which could be used to absorb and even deflect energy weapons and shots. The gauntlet accomplished this by projecting a small energy shield. The shields range was less than a meter, and typically took on the appearance of a concave disk of clear energy, having no real color

Magica Shields - Personal protection shields used by those who wield Magica. It can create a barrier of protection around the castor, but its strength and duration depends on the castor of the Magica. It can deflect most any attack as long as the castor can keep the spell up.

Magica

Magica is a mysterious arcane power that allows its castor to do mystical things. The Aranites wield it like the mages of old where as other species are required to activate Magica through the power of ruins. These ruins can be engraved on anything from weapons and armor, to a small cube that fits in your pocket, or even tattooed on a person's body. In either case the use of magica pulls from the users strength. Each rune controls a specific element, but what is done with the control is up to the user.

So, its finally done

Username: Arthanus Ike
Name: Roland Comstock
Age: 38
Gender: Male
Appearance:

Class: Ranger
Stats: Lvl – 1, Weapon Lvl – Swords C, Bows D, Skills – Pathfinder, Vigilance
Equipment: Steel Sword, Silver bow, Vulnerary
Personality: Roland is a very cunning and sly individual. Despite the fact that he is hard to read, Roland excels in the leading his troops. He knows when you have to crack the whip to maintain order, and when to crack a smile and join the party to improve moral. He constantly walks the fine line of admiration and fear with his men, and has won the respect of many a soldier by putting himself at risk to ensure as many of his men return home as possible.
Nationality: Renais
History: Roland was born in a small town not far from the country’s capital. He was the son of a local hunter and from a young age Roland was trained to follow in his father’s footsteps. During this time his father passed down many techniques, things like making and setting traps, basic archery, and how to stalk and track ones target over long distances. And as he grew older Roland grew into a fine hunter in his own right, going out on hunts alone at the age of 14. One day Roland caught the eye of a military officer of Renais when he accidentally stumbled into a wilderness survival training exercise while hunting a deer. Not only was Roland able to navigate the training course and its obstacles with ease, but he was also able to secure a kill on his prey. After observing the boy’s performance the Officer quickly made an offer to recruit the boy, and although Roland didn’t exactly want to take the offer his family needed the extra income that would be provided to them and he was soon enrolled.
Roland quickly completed his basic training and wasn’t surprised when he was assigned to serve under the officer who had recruited him, Captain James Hawke. Captain Hawke had seen a potential in Roland and was going to make sure it didn’t go to waste. Aside from his normal duties as a scout for the Renais Army, Roland was also given various other tasks to expand him in other ways. He was taught ways of strategies and tactics, learning to master the game of warfare. After a few years, all his hard work had paid off; Roland was given command of a small Scouting unit of his own following down the path that Captain Hawke had set out for him. It wasn’t long until Roland proved that he was not only a competent leader, but a good one. His unit was able to accomplish the tasks given to them with minimal casualties and was soon moved off of routine scouting missions to special assignments. Again Roland powered through and completed the missions given to him and as time went by his reputation grew. When it finally came time for Captain Hawke to step down as the Captain of the Scouting Regiment he knew who his successor would be and Roland was honored to take the position. It has been five years since he took up the position of Captain of the Scouting Regiment and Roland still holds his position with honor ready for his next assignment.

I'll just give this a little bump

Mobile Suit Gundam - Those Who Correct - Crossover

Yay no crashing today! but there you go with my post

Mobile Suit Gundam - Those Who Correct - Crossover

Gabriel listened to Paul’s description of what this O.M.N.I faction was, and things still didn’t seem to make sense. These nations that had joined together to form this O.M.N.I had been pretty much flattened during the war’s end and none of them would have the power to rebuild an ordered government or unite under one banner. And this Z.A.F.T organization sounded like a bunch of terrorists, but then again the victor is the one to wright history so without seeing either side Gabriel really couldn’t judge. When the pilot finished and called him over to meet the captain Gabriel gave a little grin, “Right time to go meet the boss man, maybe we can shed a little light on this situation.” He said falling in line ready to be taken to the captain. The security escort was to be expected, Gabriel knew it would be crazy to let any of the newcomers just have free reign to walk the ship, sure they had all declared allegiance to the earth, but words alone aren’t good enough to place your trust in people. Taking the stairs was a little tedious, but Gabriel didn’t mind it much as again four unknowns in a small cramped elevator is a recipe for trouble. When they reached the conference room the Captain started off with a bit of humor, Gabe caught on and gave a smirk, “True it is more effective, and let’s face it biting random people kind of makes you look weird.” He joked as he moved to a char where he could at least see all the others who sat on the table, although this wasn’t really necessary, because as a Newtype the only one who could really match his reflexes was the lieutenant but it was always good to be cautious. “Ohh and I am Gabriel Cross, the one who got the fancy introduction. I must say this is a fine ship you have here Sir.” He added as he sat and listened to the others talk for a bit.
As he listened Gabriel almost smirked, this captain defiantly knew how to handle people. Although he was just giving what would be kindergarten information to him to the group he was working it in a way that it wasn’t insulting. Again the information itself was new to Gabriel, but he could tell it was nothing more than you would learn from a history book. The captain had also let on that he had a theory in mind and Gabriel wondered if it would be the same one running through his own thoughts. When the Captain had finished Gabriel decided that it was his turn to speak.
“Well since I have already been labeled a crazy by your men, I think I should be the one to start off with a crazy theory. What if somehow we are on an Earth not our own, each of us pulled from a number of parallel universes or something like that?” He started off with the question he had been thinking up for a while now. “I say this because otherwise things don’t make sense, None of us know each other’s organizations or affiliations, our lines of history and fact don’t seem to line up and well even the designs of our suits and this ship are foreign to the others.” He continued with his little theory, “Now with that all said I’ll tell you a bit of what I know to be true. About nine years ago I was fighting in something called the 7th Space War, A pointless fight between the United Nations Earth and the Space Revolutionary Army over a missed dinner date or something stupid like that. But anyway that war ended when the SRA decided to drop colonies onto earth itself, not just one but a lot of them. My soldiers and I tried to intercept these colonies and neutralize the threat, but we couldn’t do enough. The Earth went up in flames as Colonies pelted the Earth’s surface. By the time I was able to get back to Earth things were well bad to say the least, when I was finally able to find survivors from my home town there were barley 500 left alive, And that was the survivors from London England, and nowhere else on the earth seemed any better from my view in space. After the drops the Earth entered a Nuclear Winter which lasted 7 years and my community has just barely been able to rise from the ashes.” He explained the events of the war and its aftermath not really wanting to reveal any more than really needed. “And this is why I came up with the crazy theory I mentioned earlier, because in my world, none of this exists, even this landscape is far to pristine coming from what I am used to” He added not really thinking it would persuade anyone to believe him, but he was already considered a crazy by the men of this ship so it wasn't really all that bad.

Our part in this world would be as mercenaries belonging to a small elite group of mercenaries operating galaxy wide on missions that they see as benefiting the galactic populous despite allegiances or ties to a government agency. We are the Crimson Legion and our next mission might just change the course of the galaxy

.... I hate this computer.... I was just about done with a good long post and it whipped it... I'm done for the night I'll try to get something up tomorrow, but no promises I think my friends are abducting me for my birthday.
