Well this is all fun isn't it?
Anyway, on topic... wait what is teh topic? *scrolls down* Righto...
Maelstrom: Fight For The Future (Working on it but progress is slow)
50 years have passed since Capella. For 25 of those years contact has been reestablished with Sol. Sol has been incorporated into the GTVA, and colonisation and expansion into newly discovered systems have progressed well. However, five years ago, after a Vasudan scientist named Deshreb manage to "repair" the Vasuda Prime eco-system, stirrings in the Vasudan ranks began to appear. Quickly a young idealistic generation took up a separatist stance, calling themselves the Vasudan Republican Coalitin, they rejected the Vasudan Emperor and the GTVA. Two major battle groups rallied to thier cause. Unwilling to risk another civil war (like the NTF), the GTVA surrendered Vasuda Prime to the rebels.
However, with Sol and Vasuda now having direct subspace links to a new colony system, tensions are rising. The VRC conduct regular attacks on GTVA bases, and it is only a matter of time before the situation escalates.
(to get the feel, listening to briefing track 4 when reading this)
Excerpt from Command Briefing, Admiral Wolf - CO GTD Ark Royal (Raynor Class Destroyer, flagship 1st fleet)
...The Vasudan Republican Coalition has struck another three of our outlying colonies this morning with greater impact than before. Two colonies require massive reconstruction assistance and one was so severely damaged it is being abandoned and requires complete evacuation.
For our new arrivals I should inform you that although the VRC is still not considered officially at war with the GTVA, we are in effect engaged in daily skirmishes with thier forces.
The colony to be evacuated is in the [color=royal blue] Plara[/color] system, which is one jump from [color=royal blue] Sol[/color]. Unfortunately it is also one jump away from [color=royal blue] Vasuda Prime[/color]. After the rejuvination of [color=royal blue] Vasuda Prime [/color] by Dr. Deshreb, the VRC took control of it as thier capital. This is where the heaviest concentration of thier warships are and despite thier age, they are a significant threat to unprotected civilian transports. The Horatio, a Chimera class corvette, the GTCv Freedom and the GTxC Armand, a Torpedo Cruiser, are being sent to defend Plara from any opportunistic attack by the VRC.
If anyone likes this so far, I'll post some more later.
