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.

They cycle in. Lots of rockets, few bullets. IN a 500m radius, there are three tanks, two of which are badly damaged. The other is scratched up. There about about a score of assorted injured aliens scattered around you.

As the dust clears, you see Lazlo's crumpled body twitch. Up the beach the figures of several mechs become visible, silhouetted against the bright explosions on the horizon. Their mechanical boots crash against the ground loudly as they draw nearer.

Your infantrymen are scattered in small groups fighting tooth and claw for the last scraps of survival. Rhino Bravo is destroyed. Your entire armored force is stretched to the breaking point from the hits sustained. Behind you the enemy has scattered, and in front of you there is little resistance. On either side, however, an overwhelming force is pushing inwards. There are alien marines scattered everywhere, firing at you and your men from every angle. About forty in close proximity. The enemy ship is getting closer.

I say as i fire at light marines with the LMG, heavy marines with 20mm. Each damaged tanks get one of my rocket pods each. 40mm goes for the undamaged tank.

As the weaponsfire starts, you can hear Specialist Jackson listening to Barbie World by Aqua, the sound floating over the open comm.

There is only one kind of alien marine. So far it's just marines and knights. And there are no knights in the area.

After your overkill carnage, your weapons need to reload. The field is empty except for farther on either side, and ahead.

Your mech is about 21 feet tall. Theirs are closer to 14.

"What? Your wing is resupplying." Command replies. "We're watching your situation from here."

"But sir, we're engaged in combat as we speak!" One of the soldiers replies, firing his assault rifle at an enemy marine.

Your legs ache as you push yourself forward. Men around you are being slaughtered. Finally, you collapse at the edge of the trench, exhausted.

Your weapons are ready. The officer is busy arguing with command about something right now, but you can see the enemy closing on his flanks.

@JACKinbigletters You have enough resources to find out for yourself.
