Rolling Thunder

Man has colonised hundreds upon thousands of planets all around our own little corner of the Milky Way. But of course, not everyone was happy with a single entity controlling everything, that entity being the United Earth Government and its military wing, the United Earth Government Naval Command. War broke out just years after its formation, threatening the livelihood of citizens everywhere. But with a powerful military, these rebels have been more or less brought under control. However, they still continue to operate, this period now known as the Colonial Uprising. An insurgency the UEGNC has struggled to keep under control for the past ninety-four years.

2842, Reunion, Luminae Star System. 2,258 lightyears from Earth. The Battle of Reunion is taking place, and is one of the largest engagements fought between the UEGNC and the powerful rebel group known as the Frontier Liberation Army. The battle has dragged n for more than a month, with firefights and engagements taking place all around the arid and dry planet. Despite overwhelming orbital and numerical superiority, the UEGNC still struggled to take down unexpectedly coordinated rebel guerilla fighters.

Chariot Platoon is a four-tank platoon of RT413 Main Battle Tanks, some of the newest and most advanced tanks ever built by the UEGNC. Their 175mm electromagnetically-propelled hypervelocity guns could tear apart almost anything that wasn't a ship. Things were going well, with the 74th Armoured Division spearheading an assault on a heavily-guarded rebel base. Chariot Platoon took left flank, blasting apart enemy defences as drop pods streaked down from orbit.

However, when a sudden and unexpected anomalous superstorm appears and swallows the platoon, they are suddenly transported to a foreign land in a foreign world. Lost and confused, they have no choice but to follow the oddly-paved cobblestone road in the middle of a valley.

Meanwhile, on the continent of Acadoria on the world of Ceas where magic reigns supreme, the inhabitants of the town of Riverwood get the shock of their lives when four huge metal beasts roll into their town.

---------------------

Welcome to Rolling Thunder, a Sci-Fi/Fantasy crossover about a platoon of four tanks from the distant future getting stranded in a fantasy world. The story will mostly centre around the platoon trying to find a way home, unknowingly setting off a chain of events that could change the world with their arrival.

The tank crews have already been filled up, so new players will have to join the fantasy side first, until someone drops out.

RT413 Dragoon Main Battle Tank

The RT413 Dragoon Main Battle Tank is one of the newest and most advanced main battle tanks in service with the UEGNC. It is highly mobile and the ultimate tank warfare fighting machine. The Dragoon is armed and heavily armoured, powered by a plasma reactor and a pair of secondary hydrogen engines. Its nanocomposite duratanium (a lightweight and sturdy metal called duranium which is alloyed with titanium to create an ultra-strong metal) ensures that it can withstand even the heaviest of attacks. It has multiple storage compartments for the crew and enough provisions to last a week or more. Each Dragoon is equipped with an advanced Trophy system that forms a protective shield around the tank that destroys any hostile projectile. The Dragoon weighs roughly 78 metric tons.

A unique feature of the Dragoon is its ability for its tracks to buckle and fold, forming a set of legs for the tank to overcome obstacles. This also makes it easier to engage targets thanks to its increased height. Breakdowns are rare thanks to advanced self-repair systems that fix any form of damage. It is equipped with a 175mm railgun that fires hypervelocity high explosive shells or flechette rounds. Its secondary armament consists of six Swarmer antipersonnel missile launchers that fire dozens of tiny 25mm missiles that are highly effective against infantry. Its tertiary weapon is a .62 caliber coaxial gun.

The Dragoon first entered service in 2840.

@pugbutter

I saw the game on a Steam sale. Clear Sky was selling for five bucks. I missed my chance, though. Besides, I could always go to my local library.

Anyway, this seems like a fun RP. I'm thinking of purchasing the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games when they go on sale on Steam. I haven't played any of them, but I know enough of the series lore.

Rolling Thunder: A Sci-Fi Tank Crew Stuck in a Fantasy World

It's settled, then. Instead of a single tank, four players will be controlling a tank each (three crew in one), forming a platoon lead by a Lieutenant (me). There'll be a language barrier that will remain until solved by a wizard or something else. The rest will be the same as what I had planned. Unless anyone has any more objections, then the OOC will be up later on.

On a side note, the players on the fantasy side can be anything they want so long as they're not too blatantly overpowered.

Heavy Mettle: A Sci-Fi Mercenaries Roleplay

Humanity has long since spread to the stars after the discovery of the Relative Interdimensional Field Transit Faster-Than-Light drive in the mid 23rd century, a device that worked by cutting a hole into reality itself, then proceeding to burrow into an alternate dimension of space known as RIFTVOID where the speed of light is several times faster than in realspace. With this, humanity quickly went interstellar, colonising planet after planet, star system after star system. Of course, someone needed to govern all that. And thus, the United Earth Government was formed, born from the crumbling ruins of the old United Nations. For the first few decades or so there was peace.

However, in the late 23rd century, a group of colonists on the edge of human space rebelled, not wanting to be controlled by a single planetary body. At first, they were peaceful, but quickly turned to violence when they were ignored by the UEG. These rebels resorted to terror tactics such as bombing local cities and attacking civilian ships. The UEG, not taking kindly to these terrorists, formed their military wing, the United Earth Government Naval Command. This new military crushed the untrained rebels, and relative peace was restored. Relative peace, because rebels would continue to stage guerrilla attacks on colonies year after year, although they thankfully weren't that much of a threat anymore.

It is now the year 2839. While the colonies located the closest to Earth may seem like distant utopias and beacons of human achievements, the Outer Colonies were not so much. These planets, due to the UEG having little influence on them, were almost lawless, a place where corporations would participate in black market deals, and where insurgents were most active.

This was precisely the reason why Seventh Column, a shadowy assassination agency, hired a team of four of the best mercenaries and assassins in the colonies to deal with this scum of the earth. Seventh Column was feared for its extreme efficiency in taking out targets, and rightfully so. They hired only the most lethal and remorseless killers out there. No one really knew about Seventh Column, only that they existed somewhere out there. But they do have a way of inspiring rookie mercenaries to work for a position.

A very large paycheck.

-------------------------------------

Welcome to Heavy Mettle! This is a small group RP set in the mid 29th century where players take control of a deadly mercenary hired by a highly secretive interstellar contract agency known as Seventh Column This RP will mostly revolve around our small four-man team as they go around fulfilling contracts on important figures.

So what kind of technology exists in the 29th century?

Think of your average Sci-Fi technology such as spaceships and stuff. The UEG is advanced, but not to the point of instant teleportation and telekinesis, although robots and A.I.s who act exactly like humans exist.

All firearms use powered coil-propulsion systems to launch projectiles at hypersonic speeds, and have built-in aim-assist. Active cloaking has been invented, and so has energy weapons. While things such as lasers exist, they are just to impractical and hard to maintain to use.

But anyway, I want to seen how well you kill.

@Dannyrulx

If it makes you feel any better, then maybe I'll add in a language barrier for the first part of the RP, until a wizard or translation thing solves the problem.

@ClocktowerEchos@Dannyrulx

Like I said, sake of convenience.

@Thecrash20

I'm being lenient here. I'll perhaps make it a platoon instead. So four tanks instead of one.

@knighthawk

This is a tank eight-hundred years in the future. It's every single modern main battle tank in the world combined and multiplied by ten. Let's keep the fantasy natives speak English for convenience.

@El Noche

I'm probably gonna make it a platoon of four.
