Description:

The planet Earth is inhabited only by evolved versions of our roaches
and subterranian bacteria. The nuclear holocaust wiped out all the
human-friendly resources available, and trillions of human lives were
lost. The culprit, the UN non-conforming war as it came to be known, ended
with the destruction of all UN facilities, thus eliminating what the
survivors feared most:interplanetary jihad. Long before the destruction of
Earth, humans had been scouting the galaxy for life. While no
'intelligent' life was ever found, there were planets which supported
human occupance. There were countless migrations to all corners of the
galaxy, and needless to say, by the time Earth was scorched, humans were
in no threat of becoming extinct. The factions that arose were many, yet
no attempt to unite these clans has proved feesible. Travel between
planets is absurdly pricy, even for one so fortunate to own a ship capable
of travelling through space.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

This rpg involves no dice, and the 'rules' are few; no forced hits(i.e.
"Ferkath clubbed Hal over the head, spattering his shoes with grey
matter.") you can attack or otherwise clarify an action, but please don't
force the other player to condone your attack or what have you.(i.e.
"Ferkath lunged at Hal, swinging his club toward his head.")This gives Hal
a chance to defend himself.Also, no immortal characters, please. It may be
amusing to a few people, especially the person playing the character, but
it gets boring fast. I'm asking that we keep this as 'realistic' as a
fantasy sci-fi rpg can be.
