So I've noticed a huge lack of RPGs with storylines. Or at least ones that unfold at a decent pace. So I've decided to make a two-parter (and possibly a subsequent sandbox sequel). But too much explaining, let's get to the story already!

Nearly 64 light years away from the Blue Planet is a mostly barren alien world, mostly inhabited by polymimetic crystalline formations, and the occasional fungus patch. The crystal itself is the future of human space technology, with it's self-replicative behavior. Unfortunately, the scientists that were studying the crystals were mimicked. With the jumpstart of having a living being in it's molecular memory, it began spawning a whole civilization. This attracted the attention of a race of ancient explorers, of whom we know little. But now, to harvest the crystal and put it to our own uses, we have to subdue the local fauna and transport them to processing plants. Sure, some naturalists had objections, but the war council made a tactical decision that they wouldn't complain after a few minutes in the cold vacuum of space.

12/4/AD2162/0630 Earth Time: Mankind is half an hour away from it's first interstellar invasion. You've got to gear up and get to your dropship. Outside the generation ship there are faint pops in the atmosphere, probably enemy fighters.

More weapons will be available later on, and if the players ask, more vehicles. Choose your loadout, and I'll set the rest up. Your rank is basically your level, and with level comes larger teams and access to better quality equipment and weapons. Want to increase your HP? Equipment does that. Augments also do that.

Word to the wise for wannabe officers, managing a large group can be as challenging as it is rewarding. You can get promoted to the point where you control several tanks, aircraft, or even ships! But managing those resources is time-consuming.

Your objective: Establish a foothold on the alien homeworld, and push to what seems to be their capitol. Expect heavy resistance.

There are plenty of options of where to start at "the bottom" It really just depends on what you want to do.

Rank: Corporal
Name: Bob "Tower" Light
Type: NCO
Age: 32
Size: 7' 8", 357 lbs
---------------
---------------
Conditions: Healthy, adrenalized
HP: 145
Vehicle:
Team:
Gear: Padded Boots (5hp), Combat Pants (5hp), Plate Leg guards (10hp), Ammo belt (2 saw clips, 3 rockets, or 6 pistol clips), Padded Jacket (5hp), Plate Vest (25hp), Combat Helmet (20hp)
Primary: G60A SAW (300/100 rounds)(automatic)
Secondary: 40mm rocket launcher (9/3 rockets)(semi-automatic)
Sidearm: Razor Automatic pistol (80/20 rounds)(automatic)
Melee: KA-BAR
Augment:
Backpack: 4 MREs, 2 Bottles of water, shovel, flashlight, 2 flares, smoke grenade, 2 power cubes
--------------

Choose an augment:

Dynamo Chip: +25HP
Domino Chip: Upgrades group size from team (4) to squad (12)
Dominator Chip: Allows you to pilot Mech suits

Dynamo is more for a lone wolf play style, Domino is if you like having a bunch of soldiers supporting you, and Dominator is if you want to spearhead major assaults.

"Teams, get together! Even if you're not assigned to one, get in one! Corporal, did they assign you as a team member or a team leader?"
Do you want to get in a team permanently (choose a primary weapon for three infantrymen, unless you want to pick their gear and everything) or do you want to go it alone?

Secondary: 40mm Rocket launcher (9/3 rockets)
Sidearm: Colt M911 (42/7 rounds)
Melee:Trench knife
Augment:
Backpack: 2 Flares, water bottle, power cube, flashlight

Yessiree.

Choose an augment:
Enhanced Genetics: +30hp
Born Leader: Increases your group size from none (0) to crew (5). Having a team allows you to use turrets on your vehicles.
Cybernetic Enhancement: Allows you to dual wield primary, secondary, sidearm, or melee. Your choice.

You doubletime out of the corridor leading to the hanger. A flight deck officer yells in your direction, "What vehicle are you assigned to?" Choose a vehicle to pilot. You cannot pilot anything with turrets unless you have a crew.

I go to the nearest vulture and get in the pilot seat. I check diagnostics and make sure that everything is alright for takeoff.

Your crew don't know who you are and you don't know them, but since you're wearing the uniform they assume you're in charge. Your vulture and 11 others in the hangar are cycled out of the ship on a conveyor belt, and the ship's autopilot turns you to face the planet.

Hundreds of dropships, gunships, strikecraft, and small ships are cruising in towards the planet. Your crew looks to you for what to do.

Your CO, Major Ganner, strides up to you. "Are you ready to get your first platoon outfitted, lieutenant?"

Choose 3 squads. Each squad consists of 4 teams. Each time is 3 men. That's a total of 48 men. You also have access to any APC for your squad. You personally can use a mech suit. Instead of selecting 48 individual soldiers and loadoats, you can choose to pick 12 teams' combat role. (e.g. fire support, medical, recon, engineer, direct fire, etc)

And sorry if my replies take a while. Have to work what you do into the story and find new pics every time you go somewhere new. Guys, feel free to let me know if there's anything you'd like to see in this RPG. I am open to suggestions. I'll open my comments if you guys need anything.

Choose two:

Dread Maxx: Adds a twin weapon to any mech suit you pilot
Dread Hawk: Adds a jump booster to any mech suit you pilot
Juggernaut: +100hp to self, +250 hull potential to any mech suit you pilot
Cybernetically Upgraded: Allows you to dual wield any person weapon, and pair them up. (e.g. trench knife XL with WTS .50 or rockets with autocannon)

You wake up in a clear, light-blue liquid slowly draining out of a glass tank through a shrapnel hole. An interface is blinking in front of your eyes, asking you what exosuit you want to equip. Your arms are locked into side grips and the interface is neurally controlled.

Debris rake your hull. Fortunately it's only small pieces, and only a little bit of the laser shrapnel hits your Vulture.

-50 hull potential

You're entering the atmosphere, and the laserfire is thicker, Fortunately several frigates are in the lead shield the heavier fire. Several sleek, light-blue fighters are streaking up against the oncoming invasion forces, spraying laserfire amok. A sensor screen indicates a larger force is coming in from a different angle.
