Planet Flufftopia

Post by Verminator »

Here's the thread where we can fill in details pertaining to the Old Empire and other general pieces of fluff concerning the universe, mostly concerning dates and shit. Anyone with a nice fancy modcock (which I think is everyone in here besides me, but I can edit this too so nya) can edit in changes or additions as this builds up. A lot of these details will only be GM-available on the start of the game - the details will be lost to many factions, so they'll have to find out for themselves. Okay? Here we go!

quick note: Dates are (for now) measured in PLC and ALC (Pre-lane collapse and After-lane collapse, the date upon which lane travel becomes completely impossible.)

History Fluff

Mankind first achieves interstellar space flight: ??? PLC
Mankind first establishes first colony on a world outside the solar system: ??? PLC

(Gap here. Civil wars leading up to new Empire, perchance?)

Earth abandoned / forgotten due to [???] by ??? PLC
Alliance of colonies signed, this pact is predecessor to Empire: ??? PLC
[Insert name of imperial-capital-to-be] gains extra influence in alliance due to [??? - war maybe?] - becomes recognised Hegemon of Alliance: ??? PLC

[Insert galvanising crisis here]

Empire founded, [insert leader of Imperial Capital here] named as Emperor / Empress: ??? PLC

[Insert Empire Boldly Going and expanding here. Maybe no need for masses of fluff here.]

Lanespace fluctuations detected: ??? PLC
[Insert ship here] suffers major damage during lanespace transit: ??? PLC
Ships over [size] are destroyed during lanespace transit, smaller ships suffer damage in varying degrees: ??? PLC
Lane Transit completely impossible, complete breakdown of Old Empire, new dark age, widespread civil war: 0 PLC

[Insert dark age crap for all player factions here]

Lanes open up, game starts: ??? ALC

Old Empire Stats (at Height of Power):

Government: Imperial dictatorship (I assume.)
Settled worlds: ???
Population: ???
Military Doctrines (Navy): ???
Military Doctrines (Army): ???
Army size: ???
Navy size: ???

"Outsider" Stats (At time of game start.)

Race name: ???

Societal Structure: ???
Leadership: ???
Technology: ???
Population: ???
Settled worlds / habitats: ???
Military Doctrines (Navy): ???

Feel free to edit, and discuss stuff in subsequent posts.
