Here's a preview of some of the stuff I'm devving up.
I'm also thinking about making a ground-side RP set in the same universe. If you guys prefer that, we can do that.

The Bental

"The stars are not ours for the taking, they are yours as well. Let's share them in peace."
-The Bental’Si Paratum



The Bental’Si are a rare species to have reached the stars. While most star-faring races have obvious bodies and limbs, the Bental’Si are a form of xeno-moss. Sort of like moss. Their families stay close together and thus becomes a singular ‘person’, claiming a skeleton of some sort, or a bundle of sticks to form a skeleton. Now, more modern skeletons for the Bental’Si are primarily metallic. The Bental’Si are a very tolerant and open minded people, through sheer luck, or perhaps some secret, they have reached the stars largely unopposed. Like the Alliance, they prefer Diplomacy before shooting. Their ships often reflect this, as they don’t have weapons powerful enough to destroy another ship in space-combat. However, their armor and shield technology is far more advanced than the Alliance.

The Bental’Si believe that their God, the Omtal’Sa, before their time fought a great evil. Through eons of war, they won. Seeing that their war had devastated the universe, the Omtal’Sa sacrificed itself to become the Core of The Universe, which the war had destroyed, to bring back balance. They believe that the Omtal’Sa, at the center of all, is the driving force behind the most basic of natural laws, and without a being at the center, these laws would halt and chaos would reign. The Bental’Si prepare for the return of the great evil by uplifting more primitive civilizations, and raising them like a parents. However, they are not mentally prepared for the war to come, and lack self confidence in themselves as fighters.

First contact with the Bental’Si was made by the ANS Australia. The original mission of The Australia was to observe a pre-FTL species. However when they arrived, they saw the Bental’Si making first contact, prompting The Australia to step in incase the Bental’Si were hostile. Turns out, they weren't, and each faction present had just made a double-first-contact, the first and only one in history.

2034 - The first interstellar human exploration ship leaves Sol.
2040 - First contact with an Alien race.
2118 - The Alliance is officially formed, as dozens of alien races join.
2119 - The Alliance enters a golden age of science, exploration and understanding.
2187 - The Alliance makes first contact with The Thresh Empire. War breaks out as diplomacy fails.
2192 - Earth is under siege.



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.

Quick question peeps, would you guys be cool if I took the time to fluff up the universe of this setting?
This means more aliums, a choice of star-systems to go to with detailed planets and moons, more backstory to generally everything.

What about the ones on Luna (The Moon?... I thought there was a group needing extraction there, or maybe I misunderstood..)Also, I'll be more than happy to take some initiative. :D

I mean the Moon, sorry.

I'm not going to be around long enough for a good post, since Thanksgiving.

So go ahead and take initiative in this mission.
The Marines on mars are holding pretty well against the Thresh ground attack by the way.

EDIT: Marines on the Moon. Sorry.
