Yeah, I suppose I should do that LOL. Here is a short backstory that gives a general idea where I plan to go with the campaign.
The campaign is set approximately ten years after the second war. The GTVA has already restablished contact with Earth using Knossos technology. However, the GTVA economy still hasn't fully recovered from the loss of Capella and its neighboring systems.
With the Shivan threat gone and the NTF eliminated, the GTVA has entered a time of relative peace. The heavily populated central systems were flourishing, but the more lightly populated outer border systems were beginning to have problems with rouge gangs and pirate clans harassing civilian shipping.
In addition, using Knossos technology, a jump node was opened from the Ikeya system to the newly discovered Omicron system. The Omicron system is rich in resources, and has several habitable planets. A large majority of Capella refugees settled here. However, the GTVA military presence in the system is very light, and pirate activity has taken a turn for the worse - so much that the GTVA was now losing vital recources and supplies to pirate groups that are better armed than ever before.
You play as a pilot stationed aboard the GTCa Midway, a Warlock class supercarrier. Its mission is to conduct stike missions and respond to distress calls in the Omicron system. In addition, their underlying mission is to find out who these pirates are, where they are getting state of the art technology, and why they only seem to focus on certain civilian corporations for their strikes.
But you know what they say.... sometimes when you dig for the answer, all you get is dirty.
A longer back story with more detail (along with a title) will be coming a bit later as I develop the campaign further. I mainly wanted to get opinions from some of you veterans out there on what I've done so far.
