I'm not sure whether to start this or not, I will if I get some help (I'm too busy with other things to do a one-man project), so, anyways, this was inspired by the topic "What if," in which it talks about Sol being the one that re-constucts the node.
Also, please note, I'm aiming to make this campaign different, as in very different. After reading Our Haunted Planet(my major inspiration), I'm going to try a new take on the wills, powers, and nature of the Shivans, Terrans, and God's relations with them both.
NOTE: This is inspired by multiple other topics and campaigns, I will list them in my next post, as soon as I find them.
DOUBLE NOTE: For non-history buffs, you were considered of royal blood if you could trace your lineage back to the mating of a Demigod and a human female.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
______Campaign (woking title;))about 30 missions.
We have uncovered the relics of an ancient race, predating the human race.
They look almost human, however, it is obvious that they are not of our planet.
Their records show that they had frequint contacts with human kind, and they used their advanced technological prowess in order to decieve us and rape us of our population. They mated with human women, and this produced a royal lineage, which continued until the late 1800s, and even some places today.
Records also state that, once they were tired of our race, they signaled their outer colonies, location unkown, to set lose the creatures of destruction they had created. They flew to us in ships of red, and armor of steel.
A freak accident in which one of the alien's creators own ships attacked this monster was all that saved us from the Armaggedon that would surely have followed. The war that followed in the Earth Year 2020 was the most brutal the galaxy has or ever will see. Countless beings were slaughtered, planets raped of their resources and destroyed, and fledgling races crushed, including the creator's. It was for this that the ships of red were known universally as the Shivans.
It is now 43 years after the severing of the Earth from the outside world. We now have developed the technology for a subspace jump into space, using an artificially constructed node. One, last, futile jump.
We can only pray that the Vasudans are still on friendly terms with us, and that they will listen to our pleas for help to re-establish the node to Earth, and to finally destroy the Shivan menace, once and for all.

All riiiiiiight! Do it! Yeeeeeeehaaaa!
No, I really like it. Good idea allthough I can't get the story! :p
-
erm...would the fact that you're flying for the Earth help? And that's just a history BTW.;)
I've got the first third of the campaign planned out, so I might post it later;)
-

You have a thing for friendly Shivans, hey? :nod: BTW, the word 'the' is A-1 SUPAR!
(sorry if you're from a non english speaking background, BTW)

Do this campaign, do it :) There will be another campaign to add to my database :nod:
-
It's good. ;) :yes:
...
Is that enough from me to encourage you? :cool:
-
See unkow you have some fans right now.:D
-
lol;)
Alright, I'll do it:D
-
unkow can i help you anyway??
-
sure, I never said you couldn't.....;)
-
I sent you demo version of my campaign check it out(in your mail)
:headz:
-
Got it, hold on, forgot it had missions :D
-
I kinda like the idea but I hate the idea of an alien race that can interbreed with humanity. It's just not realistic. We can`t even mate with chimps who share 99% of our genes.
How about making them people from atlantis or something instead.

I think the shivans can't be friendly. They're like machines, creatures with one single goal: to destroy! (that's why I like them :D )
-
Read again:D . It says they help to establish jump node to earth, and then they attack it.

Alright, I revised a bit of the storyline so that it fits with the FS storyline completely;
Records also state that, once they were tired of our race, they signaled their outer colonies, location unkown, to set lose the creatures of destruction they had created. They flew to us in ships of red, and armor of steel.
A freak accident in which one of the alien's creators own ships attacked this monster was all that saved us from the Armaggedon that would surely have followed. The war that followed in the Earth Year 2020 was the most brutal the galaxy has or ever will see. Countless beings were slaughtered, planets raped of their resources and destroyed, and fledgling races crushed, including the creator's. It was for this that the ships of red were known universally as the Shivans.
That was the original
I changed it so that, instead of the ancients (the race who we discovered relics of, they were an off-shoot of the main race), it has the Shivans come down, to destroy the Ancients living on Earth, in order to preserve the Terran race, hence, the Shivans being labeled as "The Great Preservers,".

Love the story UKT! One suggestion though. The ancients mating with humans. the ancients shoud be humans only Earth was colonized by them, but they lost contact with us some how and we developed on our own. Kinda like the Stargate story.
