Anyway setting:
The year is 2403. The Independent Systems Union has finally fallen to the ever growing Nexus forces. The Terran Alliance fights for its very survival, as the Goripultik Commonwealth is also destroyed. The Powerful Nexus fleets slam through defense after defense, battle after battle. The newly formed Alliance of Free Worlds attempts to comabt them at all fronts. At the Battle of Alpha Centauri, one Node Jump away from Earth, the Nexus is finally halted. But a bitter struggle still remains.
A short bit away, in the remnants of the ISU, Nexus battlegroups ravage indvidual systems, but at least they only come once. Rogue captains and notorius indviduals began to raid and destroy these systems. The devestated systems fight an infinite war against these forces, some succesfully, some not.
You have collectively come across an old Blade-class Corvette. Basically operational, you decide to inhait it, and turn it towards your own uses. The only clue you have to its history is a faint name across its hull, Convulsion.
This is your time.
Technology:
FTL Travel: Node jumping is the only method of FTL travel. Ever system has several Node Points, and these points lead to other Node Points. Node Points can only be accessed with a Node Drive. Travel takes a few days to a few weeks depending on distance.
Weapons: BSF weapons. All of them.
Shielding: BSF, so deflectors and flux projectors, but nothing else.
Factions:
Alliance of Free Worlds: A desperate alliance of worlds untouched by the Nexus, this Alliance devotes all its resources to destroying the Nexus. Having held them off at Alpha Centauri, they now look to the offensive.
Nexus: A hive race, the only contact has been watching their fleets rampage through known space, destroying all they find. They seem to have an endless supply of ships.
Races: Numerous races have been discovered. Be creative, but not too creative.
Character Template:
Name: (Name of Character)
User: (Name of User)
Race: (Make a wild guess)
Occupation: (What do you do?)
Bio: (Tell us about yourself)
Inventory: (Do you own anything personal?)
One character per user.
Anyway this is an attempt to create a ship based RPG. You guys are the crew, and can do whatever you want to an extent. I'll provide everything else. Ship picture coming soon. Basically it has 2 blasters that can fire to either side, 2 blasters that fire forward, 2 railguns that fire forward, 4 pulse cannons that fire forward, and 4 particle guns.
Here it is:

If you have any questions, ask. I reserve the right to annihilate or otherwise destroy characters. :twisted:[/img]
