Story: The year is 3719. The human race has spread among thousands of star systems all under the banner of an imperialistic Earth. Three months ago all contact with Earth was lost due to series of violent coups and sabotages. In the remnants of this the Imperium has been overthrown. Now you are left with the task of filling in the void that has been left by the fall of the Imperium.
Rules: In this game your goal is to take control of Earth's shattered Imperium. To do this you will have to build armadas of ships, invade other colonies with your armies, colonize new planets, engage in diplomacy and espionage.
Each player starts off on their homeworld as a Govenor (title may be changed after first post). Please note that ONE person may start on Earth, but it will be extremely challenging. Here is the character chart below:
Planet:<insert name> Name:<insert name> Title: Govenor (may change after first post) Government: Diplomatic (may change after first post) Technology Specialization: (choose 2 but be reasonable) Army Size: 10,000 (grows as you recruit) Number of Ships: 0 Special Resource: (Optional)
Note: Please be reasonable and clearly state all moves made. Any unreasonable or unrealistic moves/senarios will be edited in my posts. For the most part I leave you to choose your own path and what events befall you. The game will run in game time but nothing is allowed to be instant.

Planet:Pyzon Name:John Steele Title:King Government:Monarchy Technology Specialization:Laser Technology Army Size: 10,000 Number of Ships: 0 Special Resource: (Must be a NATURAL resource)

Upon receving no contact from Earth engineers are sent to repair communication sattelites that have been sabotaged. I also order an increased effort in the mines in order to gather ore, so that it may be refined into alloys.
Planet:Exathra Name: Bob Title: Govenor Government: Diplomatic Technology Specialization: Pulse technology, shielding (if one is not available, cryonics) Army Size: 10,000 Number of Ships: 0 Special Resource: Can it be bose-einstein condensate? Theoretical substance.
By the way--isn't it normally destroyer, cruiser, then battleship, frigate at the bottom?
Planet: Char Name: Samir Duran Title: King Government: Monarchy Technology Specialization: gunfighting and dogfighting Army Size: 10,000 Number of Ships: 0 Special Resource: Blue power minerals and special vespian gas
@ lala yes your resource is fine. Also what is pulse technology? Finally I've seen variations of classes, and frigate is the weakest ship against other fighting ships.
@ Rick gunfighting and dogfight are NOT technologies.

Riots soon break out forcing extreme measures to be taken by my government. I begin research into a specialized breeding program.
Pulse tech...err... ... Basically--you know lasers? Pulse beams are a type of laser, that fire very quickly...they short out stuff, so say if a missile is shot...if it gets pulsed, the pulse takes out the missile's guidance, and/or detonating it. Good for point defense, but ships have enough armor and such to resist it easiliy.
Combine it with a shield, and you can charge a shield with it, then release it...destroying projectiles and such around you.
Planet:Exathra Name: Bob Title: High Councilman Government: Confederation--each planet...er...meh, sends two representatives... Technology Specialization: Pulse technology, shielding Army Size: 10,000 Number of Ships: 0 Special Resource: Can it be bose-einstein condensate?
What types of weapons can you stick on your ships? Can we design our own layouts?
So...upon absence of news from Earth, I have decided to create a new government...
First I shall begin research into a better fusion reactor, one that can be used as a powerplant for ships, and the planet.
Design your own weapon layouts. Only restrictions are OHKO (one hit knock out) and deathstars. Also use your imagination and knowledge of sci fi for your own personal tech agenda.
Planet: Draken IV Name: Paul Wolfe Title: Govenor Government: Diplomatic Technology Specialization: Genetic Engineering and Espionage Army Size: 10,000 Number of Ships: 0 Special Resource: None
Construction of a shipyard begins. I open trade in order to financially support my planet.
The destroyer is the strongest ship that may be built.
Planet: Draken IV Name: Paul Wolfe Title: Arch Duke Government: Diplomatic Monarchy (advisers are elected but I have final say) Technology Specialization: Genetic Engineering and Espionage Army Size: 10,000 Number of Ships: 0 Special Resource: None
With the trade running smoothly, more finances are put toward my previously started breeding program.
Hmm...ok, time to bump up my ship designs then...so my destroyers become cruisers, cruisers become battleships, and dreads/battleships become destroyers...
I hhaven't seen any scouts/corvettes--can I make those?
I'll start trade w/ wolf...
Planet:Exathra Name: Bob Title: High Councilman Government: Confederation--each planet...er...meh, sends two representatives... Technology Specialization: Pulse technology, shielding Army Size: 10,000 Number of Ships: 0 Special Resource: Bose-einstein condensate
I'll now begin research into railguns, the main weaponry of my ships...(longish range, notsogreatish damage, and uses ammo...)
Planet: Valhalla Name: Azure Title: Govenor Government: Diplomatic Technology Specialization: Plasma Wepones,Constructions Army Size: 10,000 (grows as you recruit) Number of Ships: 0 Special Resource: Plasma
Doi! I forgot scouts. Yeah scouts and stealth ships!
Planet: Draken IV Name: Paul Wolfe Title: Arch Duke Government: Diplomatic Monarchy (advisers are elected but I have final say) Technology Specialization: Genetic Engineering and Espionage Army Size: 10,000 Number of Ships: 0 Special Resource: None
My engineers have developed opening frigate designs. The frigates are heavily armored, yet lack severe fire power. They have also started to build cargo ships.
Planet: Valhalla Name: Azure Title: Govenor Government: Diplomatic Technology Specialization: Plasma Wepones,Constructions Army Size: 10,000 (grows as you recruit) Number of Ships: 0 Special Resource: Plasma
I commande my plant to start gathering up plasma to start mass porducing plasma wepones (for ships and troops) and start selling in a universe wide Market
