New: StargateX (free, open-ended, email, human, space, rpg) From: donotreply@pbm.com (PBM List Autoposter) Date: Mon, 05 Mar 2007 20:22:41 +0000 Name: StargateX Costs: free Email: cmdrcarlhawks zat yahoo.co.uk Frequency: one per week Type: alternative stargate PBEM rpg Last-Update: 2007Mar03 Keywords: free, open-ended, email, human, space, rpg Description: SGNX: �A New Beginning� In early 2007 a new Stargate was unearthed during an archaeological dig in the mountains beneath the lost Inca city of Macho Pichu in the Urubamba Valley, Peru, South America. A previously undiscovered Stargate device was discovered deep in an ancient cave-system which had been substantially extended by the Inca�s (with the possible assistance of a previously unknown Ancient civilisation) which includes Pichu-esque stone buildings, living quarters and monuments of Inca religious significance. Though similar to the other earth-based Stargates (at SGC Cheyenne Mountain, Antarctica etc) �Stargate X� has a separate eigth chevron. After some detailed analysis by SGC technical personnel the new chevron was thought to be an indicator for a previously unknown galaxy so distant as to be untraceable from Earth (similar to the Ida galaxy, ref �The Fifth race� episode SG1). Following recent research and several remote (unmanned) missions it has been discovered that this premise may be incorrect and that the extra chevron may indicate that it is used so that the Stargate can access a different universe (or dimension) altogether along with a separate network of multiple ancient Stargates unconnected to the original Stargate network of the SGC in Cheyenne Mountain. Some discreet questions have been asked of allied Ancient races (Asgard etc) though they have given no hint that they have any knowledge of a separate ancient Stargate network. The game: SGX is a designed to be a new sim (PBEM game) based in an extension of the Stargate Universe (made popular by the Stargate movie, Stargate SG1 & Stargate Atlantis TV series). SGX has a new spin, ideas and planned story lines as the new SGX Team will travel into previously undiscovered universe, with new ancient races, technologies and worlds to discover. SGX is now looking for players, writers and contributors. The Players will make up the team members of the brand new SGX:1 Team (requiring a mix of personnel with military, scientific, technological support as well as archaeological knowledge/background). Also required are PC/NPC SGX personnel for the newly founded Bingham SGX complex in Peru. I would prefer all new characters if possible (though canon characters will be considered).
