SΛ9
tldr; SciFi mystery aboard a space station. some supernatural/horror influences.
Life is exciting in the year 2355. A new generation of federation delegates have been elected to the Galactic Congress, there's peace among the various sectors of the Inner Galaxy. Trade is booming, profits are sky high and prosperity is coming to all types of citizens of the inner galaxy.
Too bad you're not living in the inner Galaxy! Hah!
You are a citizen of the Outer Sectors. Sector Gamma Epsilon is one of the most dangerous, where lawlessness, greed and corruption are almost as common as courage, entrepreneurism, and a spirit for survival. The planets of this sector are largely uninhabited. The moon Saragossa, (it orbits the planet Kaiser, which orbits the star Kali) is one of the few centers of culture and civilization at the edge of the galaxy. It's highly metropolitan, and houses enclaves of people from all over the galaxy whose ancestors fled overpopulation and anarchy in the ancient Inner Sectors. However, with the increased stability near the galactic core, the people of Saragossa have to build their own destiny now, and fight to keep a balance between freedom and survival.
The main setting of our story is a particular space station. It's also in the Kali System, but it orbits around a dwarf planet (Chana) far from the life-giving sun. It's called Satellite Lambda Nine or SΛ9. In the old days it served as a research station sent out by Saragossan corporations. A small, 300-person complex of labs dedicated to researching the magnetic/gravitational/chemical abnormalities (apparently there were a log of them, heh) of the microplanet Chana. Unfortunately, long-term, the planets weirdness ended up not having very much use pragmatically, and the projects were gradually abandoned. Eventually, only 25 scientists were left and most of the station was powered down.
Things started picking up a few decades later, when valuable elements and compounds were discovered in an asteroid belt just beyond Chana. Mining ships and corporate shuttles started using the station for refueling and resupplying. Another few decades later, after several additions to the original structure, SΛ9 became hub of commerce and travel in the region. Several thousand people grew to ten thousand, and then fifty. Eventually some corporations realized that people actually wanted to travel to SΛ9 in order to witness the bizarre dwarf planet it orbited leading to a healthy tourist industry is a well. In the current time, over 100,000 people live on the massive SΛ9, and you're one of them.
But this story isn't just about FTL drives, exotic elements, and cool nightclubs aboard a space station… There's strange things happening aboard SΛ9, and it's up to you to unravel them. Something is getting into people's heads and making them do strange things. So far it's inexplicable why there's been an outbreak of madness… There's few clues except for the ramblings of the poor people affected. (It's horrible other-worldly creatures trying to get into our dimension, btw!)
Using every tool in your arsenal (biotech, nanobots, hallucinogenic divination, ouija boards, and more!) you and four others must figure out what the heck is going on and how to stop it, before everyone on board SΛ9 is drawn into the Formless Maw…
STORY STRUCTURE
Each adventure will consist of an episode. Each episode is made of three sessions. (beginning, middle and end). Each session ends once every player has posted three times. I'm a fan of structured Rping, but I'm willing to be flexible about this. Please post a few paragraphs for your posts...
Character Design and Setting
Pretty much anything goes I think. Be reasonable. I trust you will not overpower your characters or make them boring and one-dimensional. If I have a problem with something, I'll let you know. In this universe, we have not encountered aliens yet... sorry Maybe next time
