Welcome to Gaia! ::

The Gilgamesh

Yeah yeah....a crappy map, but meh, imagine the greyish blobs are guns and stuff.

The Gilgamesh is a high-security prison ship, created in response to the massive amount of prison ships raidings, hi-jackings, and escapings. The designer, one Harold J Friddle, recieved most of his inspiration from his pet snapping turtle, Freida. Although slow, the Gilgamesh had a thick defensive hull. The pride and joy of the Gilgamesh however, was the five card defense system. The cards are entrusted to the top five commanding officers. Using three of those cards the Gilgamesh could be put into an emergency shut down. The ship seals itself off, inspired by the way Frieda would pull back into her shell at the sign of danger. The controls of the entire ship are frozen and inaccessible. Motion is ceased, an alarm is triggered, however life support systems remain functioning. In a shutdown mode all the docks are sealed off except for one, which is only accessible to small sized ships, and even that one dock requires one of the five cards to access. In order to exit out of the emergency shut down, all five cards must be used, with the appropriate pin numbers.

Since the use of the Gilgamesh two years ago, prison ship piracy is down Sixty-Four percent. Those who argue against the Gilgamesh fear the design is faulty and gives little thought to the prisoners and their livelihood in cases of emergency. This is, of course, a silly idea. We at Spaceflight incorporated believe it is more important to secure the safety of good law-abiding citizens such as yourself. Our focus is preventing the prisoners from escaping and returning to society, before they reach their various destinations in the outer colonies, and containment planes.

If you wish to purchase an economic civilian ticket on the prisonship, you are welcome to do so. We assure you the civilian passage is completely safe and separated from the prison and prisoners. Daily rations and a cot is included in the price. Upgrading food in quality and quantity is available at the recreation center inside the ship. We hope you consider flying with us in the near future.

Triadic Republic/ Triadic code/Colonies

The Triadic Republic is the strongest governmental structure in the known universe. The head of the system are the three prime ministers who represent Earth and its two sister planets. However, its very foundation is becoming shaky. Corruption is filling the ranks like poison through the veins. The current ministers are both wise and good hearted, but they still have strings to pull.

Triadic Code is a series of rules that form the foundation of the republic and how it deals with its citizens as well as alien races.
The base law of the triadic republic revolves around fair treatment of all peoples know matter what race, what species, what gender, or what social standing.
Outer systems run by beings with lower level technology may not be plundered, and colonies may only be established through proper trade agreement.
In recent times it has come under much criticism, particularly in the way it limits the growth of the Triadic Republic. Some criticize the new worlds should be fair game, despite their inhabitants, particularly if they can bring them new and better ways of life. There is also rising concern about alien races, particularly since the outbreak of the plague.

Colonies of the Triadic Republic dot across the galaxy. Some of them consist of prison run colonies, where minor prisoners have been transfered to work and live while serving their sentence. More dangerous criminals are sent to special facilities out in the colony rims. Colonies are good places for fortune hunters, and those seeking a place in life. However, the colonies being so far away from the main system of government can be wild at times. Also, despite the triadic code, it is not uncommon for the ideals behind it to be shunned in the colonies. Cruelty to native races is common, as well as a growing prejudice among different species.

Plague/MediKor/Pandora's Massacre

The Plague spread quickly among the population of Earth's sister planet. The first signs of the illness coincided with the arrival of a new species of alien who came with peaceful greetings to the republic. There was fear the whole republic would crumble as mass amounts of people began to take ill and die, but soon a cure was found and released. The new heroes of the universe became Medikor, the founders of the cure. In contrast there grew a strong distrust of alien people.

MediKor is the strongest health organization in the universe. After finding a cure for the plague their power grew three fold. They're honored as a good and heroic organization, even if founded and controlled by the mysterious Kore. A select few, however, often wonder how truly good the corporation is. Was it really the alien race who brought the plague?

Pandora's Massacre is a tragedy that occurred in the Medikor's Pandora facility. The people inside the building were butchered. There were no survivors. The situation is currently considered unsolved, however many leads have been covered up and kept quiet. Some people have questioned if the massacre was not tied to the mysterious ACO.

3-
Home World: make one up, or use earth, just have fun with it.
Reason for Being on the Ship: Is the character one of the prisoners? One of the guards? A civilian? A bounty hunter looking for someone hiding on the ship? One of the crew (minor crew cause the captains and stuff are dead...buwahahaha)? A treasure hunter after the eye of Hamied? Or one of the Kore (talk to me about this first)
Reason for Wanting the eye/what he or she would wish for: If your character could wish for anything using the eye, what would he/she wish for? Are they searching for it themselves? Are they tempted? Do they have a loved one that will die if they don't find it? Will they themselves die if they don't find it? What are they willing to do for it? Or do they just want the money? xd

So it looks to me like AC just owned you Jess.

Lol. Iz t2h goal, no? blaugh

She'll answer when she answers, but some of it is suggestion and some honest inquiry. Mostly, I'm a David Weber fan... ^_^ You go scifi on me, you gotta have the details worked out. Some of them, at least. Hooray!

Besides that, it's just easier to come up with character(s) if you know the situation. The sooner I have that in mind, the sooner I can think one up, the sooner I can get into the feel of rping her, the sooner I can jump in the story convincingly. heart

rolleyes NO idea...
