May The Me Be With You.
Welcome to the gorgeous world of Mythestria, a planet located near the opposite edge of the Milky Way galaxy from earth. The first colonies arrived here almost 1500 years ago in the early 24th century during the age of expansion and growth mankind enjoyed. Sadly this era was short lived and communications with Mythestria were lost during the fearfully remembered extragalactic wars. Luckily it was spared the destruction that the rest of humanities empire faced and thus it was spared the same xenophobic culture that grew in the rest of the galaxy. Now more than a thousand years after mankind ended the war against the extragalactic invaders the empire of mankind has reached out to Mythestria and joyfully demand the world rejoin the empire. This demand however was met with a quick refusal as it seemed the empire of man that Mythestria had originated from had descended into an oppressive authoritarian regime backed by dreams of infinite expansion and vicious Xenophobia.
Mythestria on the other hand had encountered various alien races and lived in harmony with them, something seen as treachery to the greater Terran Empire and with genetic modification The Humans of Mythestria had found interbreeding with these aliens and forming a family as not only possible, but desirable. As such negotiations between the two empires were cut off almost immediately when the leaders of Mythestria heard that one of the demands was the slaying of all hybrids and the execution of all Xeno’s. With negotiations off the table the Terran empire has begun to muster their massive fleets preparing to unleash an endless tide of Blood, Steel, and souls upon the world. Meanwhile the peaceful peoples of mythestria must now prepare for their worlds first war combining alien technology with their own and utilizing their alien hybrids to attempt and create a more specialized defense force capable of facing down the unrelenting tide of foes. Yet how can one world hope to stand against a thousand…even through unity is it possible to resist such powerful and numerous hatred?

(Hey people. This is a pretty niche story so I understand if it doesnt snatch ones attention immediately. Thats because the template for what kind of story this is lies in the hands of the players.
The World- Mythestria is an eden like paradise planet revolving around a star called Apollo that is very similar to our own sun. Size wise Mythestria is about .88% the size of earth and lacks a moon with tides being the result of deep ocean chambers within the planet. Climate wise the entire planet is in a temperate tropical climate year round with things like extreme cold and excessive heat being long forgotten. Unlike earth however the world has massive subterranean chambers and even subterranean oceans both of which are heavily industrialized to support the large populations and their needs
The people- When the human settlers of Mythestria arrived they had their work cut out for them , the volatile world was a volcanic wasteland and contact with the greater terran empire was sporadic at best and none existent usually. The first aliens, called the Geth, arrived nearly a century into the processs and set up camp on the opposite side of the world. Their powerful terraforming technology paired with humanity’s gene manipulation technology resulted in a world whose climate was quickly stabilized, and a people capable of adapting quickly to the changes. In the modern day more than 14 sentient species call this world home with genetic modification and a multicultural society allowing for any number of alien hybrids. Families are intermingled and have been for more than a thousand years resulting in an odd mixture of acknowledgment of the differences of species, mixed with a almost caste like system. For example of you are a miner of aluminum, your family has likely worked that job for a while, and breeding or making a family with the physically powerful Gorkun species may benefit you, however being a Gorkun Hybrid miner is no less respectable than being a Zeten/Human Hybrid whose job is the making of laws and prosecution of crimes.
The technology- Surprisingly the technology of Mythestria is not as advanced as many would believe. The assimilation of cultures has certainly caused many technological achievements to fall away into obscurity, for example the human technology of ballistic weapons while effective was a much more resource consuming than the Zeten Gravitic Plasma weaponry and as such it fell by the wayside. The Zeten cellular reconstruction technology was inferior to the Claudian Vita rays which could stimulate regeneration in cells. This has resulted in a variety of technological marvels that make Mythestria in some ways more advanced than the entire terran empire, however the lack of foes means that this is not the case when it comes to weaponry.
