"Honey!!! Wheres my Supersuit?"
The world we know
In the early 21st century political division grew remarkably tense and a global war broke out. Often it had been said that world war 4 would be fought with sticks and stones because mankind believed their weapons capable of wiping themselves out. As it turned out mankind had greatly underestimated their own resilience. In 2029 The United States, Russian, and China began a deadly nuclear exchange. Luckily for the rest of humanity the collective nations of the world all pooled their missile defense capabilities and of the upwards of 15 thousand nuclear missiles launched, only around sixteen actually hit the ground. That was enough for the vast majority of the world and the era of Superpower nations ruling the world became a thing of the past. The smaller nations of the world banded together creating what they called the UEA Or United Earth Alliance.
Over the following Century the Conflict persisted as the UEA turned against the superpowers responsible for the nuclear exchange. First Russia fell, then the United states surrendered and Joined the UEA. China's leadership finally fell after failing to hold their population hostage. For the first time in history the world stood united and the focus was shifted to science. All around the world what were once third world nations began to industrialize and rapidly advance. First came the Solving of our energy crisis with the implementation of Nuclear Fusion. Generation 7 Reactors were built, ones that were impossible to meltdown, Within a year of their production the earths energy output had more than octupled. With all this new energy mankind began to boldly meet new challenges. They cleaned all the garbage on the planet and in its oceans and dumped them into the fusion reactors using the leftovers of the past to fuel the energy needs of the future.
The true golden age came in the following century. Teams of scientists all over the world began to work on a variety of problems. The environment was cleaned, medical technology made man seemingly impervious to disease and raised the life expectancy to 200 years. But with all this growth and development the earths population began to rise exponentially and while new environment transforming technologies and Artificial islands meant that earth was a long way away from overpopulation, preemptive action was obviously needed. Rather than taking the authoritarian route of limiting births, a new initiative began with project Outward Bound.
Four massive Spaceships called Arcs were created. Each one would be over seven kilometers long and hold livestock, Crops, people, infrastructure, and everything needed to build a colony on another world. At the same time four planets were selected. Boones World located 12 light years away, Reginalds world located 14 light years in the opposite direction, Sonia's World Located 27 light years away, And finally Willow's World Located 36 light years away from earth. During their construction Many attempts at FTL technologies were made but none were successful...however they perfected Cryogenic Sleep technology and were quick to load these Arcs with Cryo bays where tens of thousands could be stored.
Finally after a century and a quarter of preparation the Arcs were launched each with a crew of 50,000 people. Their task was to establish colonies where they landed and prepare the needed infrastructure for a mass migration. The Pioneering colonists of each ship are divided into 4 catagories. The smallest catagory is the command Group who consists of officials elected by the individual ships crews. The command crew usually consists of 24 members. The next smallest group is the Science Crew made up os engineers and scientists who operate the ship and the technology on board, they are also the ones who will direct the colonists into setting up the colony itself on the World this crew also consists of the medical staff and is about 1000 members strong. The third Team is the Security force made up of 4000 well trained security personnel who are each armed. Finally the last and largest group is the General population, these are the many families and workers needed to establish the colony and a working economy on the colony. Each ship has a similar force and mission, though our story will Follow the Crew of the S.S. Neo Houston on their seventy seven year long journey to Willows world. The question is what awaits them there.
(Hiya folks. Today ive got a pretty interesting slice of life story for ya where we will be playing the roles of members of a budding interplanetary colony from earth. The S.S Neo Houston is our gorgeous vessel and our mission takes us through space in cryosleep at half the speed of light. Skeleton crews have been running the ship coming out of stasis for month long shifts until we reach the planet. Well our story begins when we do reach the planet...but nothing is as it seems...how can we survive? That is the answer our story seeks.
There are four parts of the crew you can be a part of.
Command crew- members of the command crew include the captain of the ship and the individual leaders of the other crews like the chief medical officer and the head of security. Most of the officials in this position were elected by the crew itself prior to launch so the potential for mutiny while not removed is minimized. These members are renown for their leadership skills and the ability to make the hard decisions.
Science Crew- This is the most educated division on board the ship made up entirely of Scientists, Doctors, and Engineers. They maintain the ship and keep essential scientific facilities up and running. While they lack the authority of the Command crew they do have very weighty and valuable opinions often being heard by the command crew and happily listened too, most seem to hate the security force as they have less authority than the security team and feel as though it should be reversed.
Security Crew- Back on earth a few centuries ago the worlds collective police, military, and Intelligence agencies were disbanded and rebranded as the UESF standing for United Earth Security Force. This force is actually primarily comprised of young members ranging from 18 to 30 in most cases and they began their ten year training in grade school after aptitude tests proved them worthy of being in the security force. While they are combatants none of these men and women are fools they are well educated and well trained and are the only armed group with weapons possessing dual security features like Dog tag sign in for each weapon and finger print scanners to make weapons stolen from them non functional.
General Crew- the rest of the population of the colony is made up these people. They are your general population, Bakers, Hair stylists, Shop owners and the like. These are the precious cargo of the ship and while they possess no authority they also possess no responsibility and have ample legal protections backing them up, while technically outranked by every other crew...every other crews job is to get them to the planet safe and help them to het established.
You may play any role you wish but this isnt a story about cyborgs and superhumans. Characters in this crew are "Normal" or at least normal for the 24th century. Possessing longevity, Excellent health both mental and physical (crazy people tend to not get selected for colonization and the screening WILL NOT allow such mental deficits to go unnoticed.) And are comparable to olympic gold medalists in their physicality. We are humans yes...but humans are far more badass than you may think.
If you have any questions let me know and ill gladly answer them for you. Hope you guys enjoy.
