The year is 2012, the humans on the planet earth have discovered the universe is much more populated then once thought. In 2010, a massive ship entered the upper atmosphere above Canada. It dispatched ambassadors to each of the major countries and to the UN. It turns out Canada had known about them for many years. Already Canadians had produced several human crewed ships and had their own small military. The earth exploded with interest and soon jumped into the universe with the help of the galactic conclave - a massive body with each race represented by anywhere from 10 to 100 men and women of that race. Humans have expanded and now are colonized one three separate planets.
Technology:
Each race has it's own tech, but there are several weapons are armors that are widely used:
Quinn Plasma charged solid shot rifle (PCSSR): This weapon has two loads, it's first is a solid core bullet, that comes in magazines of 30 to 100. It's second is a 'power cell' of plasma energy. It can fire up to 1000 shots. Its purpose is when the bullet is fired, the cell coats it in a plasma aura. This aura not only adds to the damage, but it can also protect the bullet as it sheds it's energy onto the first obstacle it meets (e.g. a wall or an armor plate).
- this weapon comes in pistol, shotgun, and rifle form.
Finnly proton multi charge rile (PMCR): This weapon is the most widely used as it can be recharged by simply throwing things into it. It has a compartment in the front which opens up to allow the user to add matter of most types. This is then converted by the rifle into energy which is stored in its magazine. This weapon fires energy, converted into a mass of highly charged protons. This makes it an energy weapon with high stopping power.
- This weapon comes in pistol, and rifle form.
Force weapons: these weapon is build from a Psy sensitive material. A psychic user may channel his mind into the weapon, jumping the weapons cutting and power ten fold. There however is a backlash if engaged in combat with another psychic blade, but all trained wielders are capable of handling the small about of pressure on their psyche. The blade is reputed to be devastating to demons, and just as deadly to the user who hits a demon with these blades. Note: these weapons when handled by norms are just simple weapons.
::Armor::
Armor is usually made of overlapping platting. The metals used are dense, but thin. Giving the plates heavy stopping power with little weight. They come in all types of designs, and also boost the users strength and stamina though micro fiber bundles.
Each armor also has a set of shields. These energy fields are designed to protect against high velocity projectiles, as that, they do not stop knives, or arrows. Unlike the shields in Halo these do not recharge automatically. They carry three to five batteries that switch in after each is depleted. The batteries rely on the suit to keep moving, causing energy to build up and restore the power of the batteries.
::Travel::
Interplanetary travel: Different races have different modes of travel. The most common however is the plasma engine. It recycles matter and energy produced by itself and the rest of the ship to power the thrusters.
Interstellar travel: Several races (and that's a very very small number) have different forms of interstellar travel. The one used by all other races is a form of a giant sling shot. In each system there are gates, these gates will coat the ship in an energy field to boost the shields on ship. It then throws the ship towards another set of coordinates. The transit can take up to several months, or as little as a few days.
Races:
.::There are any number of races in the Galaxy. There are several dominate ones (I'm sorry if some of these aren't very original)::.
Dorogon's {Please note, this is a non-PC race}: These creatures, and they are truly creatures. They stand about 5' tall and have sea green to a deep blue scaled skin. Their faces are slightly pointed at the chin and are scaled like the rest of their body. They have several ridges running along their cheeks. Their nose recedes into their face, leaving only two holes where it should be. They are a very martial race and have a long standing beef with the galactic conclave. They have a large reproductive rate, and a huge claim to the upper systems. They and the conclave have been in a semi-passive war for several decades.
Hitim's: These people are a water race, their skin is slimy and cold. They average a height of 5'4" and have pale white skin. The most noticeable feature of the Hitim are they have no faces. Instead a membrane covers them. The only outline of the face that can be seen is black dots of the eyes and sometimes the nose.
The race is renown for their fist weapons, the main one is a pair of gloves that can triple the strength of the user. The gloves also house blasters and shotguns on the back.
There are *infinity sign* races for simplicity sake, meaning you can choose any race you an think of. There are however several more races which I do not wish to go into detail. Here they are.
Kill'kirg: Large 6' scarabs, 4 arms, 2 legs, live in desert systems. They use a weapon created by them. It fires large organic spikes, propelled by muscle fiber bundles in the gun.
Statin: Jackles, quite similar to anubis. 7' + tall. humanoid. One of the main conclave races. Very sexual. Females are the fighters, males the researchers. Some females choose breeders over fighter. males are not barred from fighting, it's just more on the female side. No, they do not dress Egyptian like.
Corci: 9-12'
lizardmen Aggressive, massively strong.
.::ships::.
There is no general ship design, they range from atmospheric conversions for space to massive ornate ships purely meant for cruising the void. Here are several ship designs:
http://s291.photobucket.com/albums/ll288/Lordkrok/ships/ The main weapon for ship to ship combat is usually heavy weapon batteries - usually large cannons, firing house sized or bigger high explosive rounds.
Note: Ship shields are better then personal ones and can absorb 99% of weapons used against them.
.::more::.
Demons: Pure energy, formed from pain/suffering/or though psychic energies. They are powerful but extremely rare. High intelligence, and each with their own flaws and powers. Many are very powerful psychers, though not all.
Psychics/psychic powers: Though there are many many different explanitions of psychic powers in different books. The 'truth' to them is quite simple. The creatures mind warps (or starts warped perhaps) and it allows the person/thing to use more of it's brain. Concentrating - for some it may be easier - they can use the world around them or simply form any power they want. This can be very dangerous, as loosing control of a power can open a gate for a demon, or simply kill the user. They are unpredictible, but powerful.
