Uh... I think I'm out.

I assume this is because of the vision you have for the Triarians? Don't worry, they could be one of the larger empires still left, and they don't have to lose much knowledge. You can still do whatever you're planning with them.

Seems good, but there should be more flexibility on the size of the old civs. Also, I request that you keep Faust away from the eyes of Federation species. She can intervene, but nobody can directly see what she does aside from one or two people who will be considered crackpots.

Also, theme for the roleplay:

WOO! INTERNET IS ON EARLY!

Okay, I'm the GM, and its gonna be a sequel. Don't worry if you have plans, you get to decide what your species knows about the universe. Technology levels will be decided by the player, but they must be reduced heavily (No intergalactic FTL, no antimatter weapons, only low level antimatter power generation, worse shields and weapons, the usual). However, those rules are not absolute, you can have fragmented technology left over. For example, you could be reduced to steam and electric power, but still have floating cars with electric propellers. You could have no idea of the wheel, but operate a substantial fleet of starships. Instead of researching jet engine to rocket engine, you could go backwards. Do not worry, there will be a lot of freedom with this. Size will be drastically reduced, couple hundred light years with only the already habitable planets colonized max (unless you have good reason to be larger). I have really good ideas for this myself, its full of potential for roleplaying.

We do need a title, though.

Sorry, no internet. Posting from phone. Data almost out. Sequel planned, can get back to you on Saturday, ISP gives no shits about us. Internet down.

And I'm almost out of chips.

My idea for the sequel is that the empires now would be devastated by some event and left on their own respective homeworlds (Or maybe even a mutual planet if you guys want that) with some key technologies lost, but others intact. It could be a couple thousand years before they rediscovered FTL, and the other species would become myths along with the wars of the current RP. However, this wouldn't simply turn back the clock on all of the empires and shove them back into the 21st century, it would leave the many species behind. Lakfakalle (The planet I would leave developed for my empire if we did this sequel) would still be populated by all the species of the Federation, with all the cultural situations that entails. It would create a much more exotic environment, and we wouldn't have to destroy history for it!

This time we will make sure to control it.

We always say that, and we never do! Darkwolf is right, but I personally think we should go with the whole sequel thing instead of retconning a dozen pages or wiping the entirety of history from existence.

Faust purges everyone seeing them as warlike and violent in a insane attempt to make the universe harmonious

Anyways, that's actually quite a good idea, as long as she misses something. Then we could make a sequel instead of a reboot!

Rebellion
The Federation forces continue to fight, refusing to accept surrenders and instead capturing the soldiers with non-lethal weapons to avoid the laws regarding the treatment of soldiers who surrender. They have begun interrogations as well, trying to get the name of the rebel leader.

Lobnas II, Abh Prison Planet
the crack of a whip sounded throughout the cell block, and the screams of a prisoner confirmed its target. Despite the thick walls of the interrogation room, the sounds still flowed out to scare the other prisoners. Inside the room, there were three Abh. One was next to a table holding dozens of objects that looked extremely painful, and the two others were holding lasers to the head of a prisoner held tightly to a cold metal bed by carbon nanotube ropes.
"You will reveal the leader's name." Said one of the Abh calmly, knowing they were in complete control. When no answer was given, they set down the whip and picked up a small device that looked almost like a comms unit. The prisoner, however, had heard stories of it. He knew what was coming.
"Fire, piercing." Said the Abh
The prisoner screamed louder than ever before, the screams echoing throughout the entire facility.

Unknown Aliens
"Uh... you have our interest. What would this price be? We will not pay you in sentient beings, the DNA of sentient beings, the recorded memories of sentient beings, the dead bodies of sentient beings, the bodily fluids of sentient beings, rare cultural texts, or requested executions. Technology will only be given after sufficient judgement has been made."

True, but we can have this go out with a bang. I say we tie up the story, have our species ascend or something. Anyone else have any ideas?

Mars
The CSI agents looked over at the Supreme with a surprisingly calm expression, considering that they had just seen their friend get knocked out with a wave of a hand. An older CSI raised an eyebrow, and walked up to the Supreme Draconian.
"You have a way of replicating someone's mental state and type with just a few quirks? We can preserve memories, but nobody was ever capable of replicating a personality! This question doesn't even need to go to our superiors, you have our permission! If you want, we can give you the recorded memories, they go up to right in the middle of the hostage situation. I'll alert the Council immediately."

Cerberus
The transmission that so rudely interrupted the annoying alarm beep of the emergency broadcast was shut down, but not before the message has been delivered. Having seen the transmission, the Human Cooperative flag was displayed once more, and the voice of a human could be heard.

"This is Commander Tomek of the Cooperative Land Forces. All who assist these rebellious heretics in any way will be arrested and tried for heresy against doctrine. If found guilty, they will be imprisoned to await a trial under the Abh, if found guilty in that trial they will be given an experimental punishment."
An Abh voice took over the message, and continued on with similar statements.
"We can be extremely cruel when provoked, and this supremacist movement has provoked us. Nobody shall escape punishment, and all prisoners will be given the experimental punishment. Let one thing be known to all: there is a Hell in this universe."
The flag of the Human Cooperative was removed, and replaced with the Humankind Empire of Abh Banner


Rebellion
More military ships have been deployed to fight the rebels, mainly Abh ones. While the Humankind Empire of Abh does not openly support the doctrine, it appears that they actively oppose the alternative extreme. It should be noted that the Abh are attempting to take as many prisoners as possible, most likely so they can test the new punishment system. They have still given no clues as to what it is, but many suspect that it is a mind control device of some sort. The Abh have denied such claims, and have issued statements claiming that such punishment were inadequate for the situation. Almost all of these statement were issued with a somewhat disturbing grin.

Unknown Alien Invasion
The Human Cooperative has sent a defense fleet to the planet, expecting an easy victory against such small numbers. A message has been sent to the invading fleet, with the ship transmitting it having no idea of how strong the enemy forces could be.
"If anyone should surrender, it is you! We have twenty thousand ships heading to your location, surely overkill for such a puny force as yours. this your final warning: leave our space or we will destroy you!"
