(I got bored)
The situation:
For hundreads and hundreads of years humans from Earth went to the stars, colonised many a planet, constructed large fleets, fought lots of wars, and generally done what humans are good at doing (usually blowing things up). Eventually, though, some big bad ass dude of a ruler managed to pacify the other not quite so bad ass rulers and declared himself the Emperor of the humans. Things were good for a while. Resources were devoted to more exploration and expansion and the new human empire grew and grew, until it was quite big. Very big, in fact. And all the while, there had been no signs of any aliens. All was good for the humans.
Then, suddenly, when it seemed like things were going really really great, the ALIENS CAME !!!!!
Bum bum buuummm!!!!
Oh noes.
Horrid, nasty, green aliens. With big ships, and big guns.
These nasty, green aliens, with their big ships and big guns started to blow up the little humans. The little humans, not having really fought a proper war in quite a long time, due to the aforementioned big bad ass dude having pacified everyone, were quite shocked, and were slow to rouse. But after having a couple of systems blasted out of existance by the nasty green aliens with big ships and big guns, the little humans eventually managed to gather a war fleet together. However, this fleet was also blown up.
The aforementioned big bad ass dude, was getting quite old by now, but he was still the biggest bad ass dude the humans had, so he led the largest gathering of warships that was possible (basicly all the ships the humans had that could have guns on) and led the defence of next system the nasty green aliens attacked. There was a big fight. Lots of explosions. Big bad ass dude was hurt. Nasty green aliens retreated. Hurrah!
It is now one year after that big nasty battle. Human starships are now proper warships, with big guns, just like the nasty green alien ships. The big bad ass emperor dude is still recovering back on Earth. The outer system, where the aliens are still trying to attack is now heavily defended and where you are all stationed. A fleet is gathering there, getting ready to attack the nasty green aliens.
Congratulations!
You get to be a part of this glorious fleet!
Hurrah!
You can have whatever ship you like, (but no death stars fluffie
) and be warned that if you have a big ship, you'll likely encounter ships that are bigger.
Weapons are whatever you like as well, energy or projectile. Make sure you give them a good description.
