• Welcome back to Pokécharms! We've recently launched a new site and upgraded forums, so there may be a few teething issues as everything settles in. Please see our Relaunch FAQs for more information.

Open Galaxy

in the year 2120 Humanity went to war against it self. the result of the war was a barley habitable planet. This caused the great exodus as eight ships left the planet carrying just over two million people. The seven kingdoms put their differences aside as they searched for a new planet to colonize. They found a habitable planet in the 40 Eridani A solar system. Though they do have star drives that allow them to travel faster than the speed of light it will still take them a good hundred years to get there. As such they must be put into stasis for the bulk of the journey.

After a problem occurs they wake up only ninety years into the voyage. Now they must fight not only each other but the great unknown in order to arrive at 40 Eridani A.

The seven kingdoms as they are known are the seven powers that make up earth.
The united Coalition of America
which includes Continental United States, Canada, Mexico, the Carrabin, the Philippines, and most of central America, they pride themselves on being a capitalistic (which has led to big buisnesses being in charge,) democratic country (though mostly the average Joes don't really have a say in their government).

The South America.
Made up of Panama, all of south America, and the islands that sourround them. They are a socialistic society believing in trying to help everyone ( Though in the end the people suffer from lack of jobs and inflation)

The Royal Empire of Britain.
In the year 2020 King Charles decided against the will of parliament to restart the Britain Empire. He gained support from the radicals of his country quickly taking over the united kingdom in the fallowing years he took over all of Europe except Russia. Though countries tried to fight back they were unable to defeat Empire's power. unlike the great generals before him he chose not to invade Russia. The government has been different depending on which ruler they had. Some where considered fair and just while others where known as monsters.

Warsaw
After the constant failures in Russia a radical group brought the country back to it's communism roots. as such they spread their beliefs throughout Asia like it once did. The main powers in Warsaw are the Soviet Union, China, and Korea ( both north and south), and most of the middle east ( Afganistan, and Iran)


The republic of Africa.
After many years of in fighting Africa became united under one flag.

The Pacific Island Nations
a group of Islands in the pacific that share common interests. These include Japan, Australia, New Zeeland, and Hawaii

New Judea
After a failed attack by Warsaw against Israel which some believed Yahwey was responsible for their complete victory against Warsaw. As such Israel became a stronger power in the world. Egypt, Babylon ( Iraq) and Saudi Arabia joined them seeing the great power that the small nation had

@Dave Strider @Eeveechu151 @Retro Master @JohnsonAce @Koopa6000
what do you guys think?



Each ship plays apart in the fleet. losing one will damage the rest. Also each ship has an AI on board.
The ships
Aries a military vessel that has tech from every kingdom. It acts as their defense and diplomatic area.
Yorktown: The United Collation of America's colony ship. It's considered the most luxiourus of the ships acting as a place for other colonist to relax. though not everything is as perfect as it seems

Excalibur: The Royal Empire of Britain's ships. before it's departure it accumulated plants and animal life. The ship acts as a natural food disperser amongst the colonist ships.

Poseidon The PIN's ship. While they have the less amount of people they've found a way to use resuable water.

Stalingrad the Warsaw ship. they for the most part have the resources to create fuel for the other ships.

The Amazon: The south America alliance's ship. While they don't have a specific role they have created a form of currency (Because money is something that will never change) for the fleet becoming the fleet's bank

The Anansi: The Republic of Africa's ship. They help replenish ammunition and create new weapons.

Archangel: The New Judaeh's ship. While they don't help create things they take part as a religious vessel allowing everyone to worship whichever god they might believe in. Whenever something happens they do what is needed to back up the fleet.

What Did You Do To Snoke?

I do like the concept of this. I think that there are some things that I would personally change like the name of the groups and what countries would be in the groups, but I don't think that would matter. I feel like it would be interesting to expand on the history of said groups e.g. with the Royal Empire of Britain, it should have had bases in places in Africa and Asia, where it's former empire was and conflicts involving the EU. How would it work then with them all waking up? Would there be a ship for each kingdom and if so then what would the 8th ship be used for? And would there be aliens?
 
1. Yes each kingdom gets their own ship. The eighth ship is a joint military vessel for protection of the fleet
2. I chose the names based off of different things. The republic of Africa for example is a nod to the Bobiverse series.
What do you think of when you hear the word empire.
For me it's either the British Empire or the holy Roman empire both of which were considered huge. Also do you really think the EU will be able to stop them.
New Judea is based on biblical prophecy.
3. Not sure yet.
4. Of course there's going to be aliens.

I trying to say that the backstory for the Royal British Empire could involve a war in which the EU was destroyed! What kind of aliens will there be? I'm up for rping as the race/making the race if you haven't got one in mind!

@Mecha Who The Rp will happen with each ship though there will be heavy focus on Aries ( the military ship)
since their the ones that are spear heading the mission

@JohnsonAce I have an idea about a few Alien races. though such as an cyborg like species that starts to hunt them down. what idea for some races do you have?

What was I was thinking of was a plot where an alien species attack the ships or one where multiple soldiers crash land on a planet filled with strange bipedal animal-like races-bipedal elephants, hyenas, cats, eagles etc, who in kingdoms (like the humans), but they wield medieval weapons or maybe some kind of exploding terrorist race. Another thing we could do is have a zombie/mushroom like race which threatens to infect the people on the ship, after multiple ships come in contact with this race on another planet during a colonisation mission as part of the 'search for another planet' project. This could be a series, so there could be multiple plots threatening the colonisation, like in Star Trek. However, it's more risky for these ships, since they literally ONLY contain the last remaining people and all the races that might attack the humans would be considered dangerous and so there might need to be missions where potential dangerous races are killed off.

My character is a robot. Hope you are okay with that.

Name: AX09-8
Age: He is a robot, but he was made before the mission.
Sex: None. But I call him He.
Appearance: K-2SO of Star Wars, but he doesn't has the Imperial symbols. (I can't really explain a robot, it's a little bit complex.)
Kingdom: The Royal Empire of Britain.
Position: Military AI
Rank: Elite Soldier
Personality: A loyal robot, doesn't has his own opinion about things. He is a robot made for being both militar or scientist, meaning he is inteligent like a scientist and has the experiencie of a soldier. His weak point is the thing that he has not been progamed to react, like emotions.
 

What Did You Do To Snoke?

Previously Ratbag the Coward
Name: Orson Lancelson
age: 26
sex: Male
appearance: Around average height for someone of his age, brown short hair with lighter blonde parts hidden inside, blue eyes, strong looking. Carries around with him weapons from Aries he stole.
Kingdom: Royal Empire of Britain
Position: Starts off in Aries, as a Major, but later, he will get moved from Aries when he was knocked out during a mission.

Name: (Khowl) Groargo Zalaugh Grand-Gnaw
age: 40 (in Gnawenak years, but this is younger in human years)
sex: Male
Race: Gnawenak
Appearance: A large bipedal hyena/dog creature, like how his race should look like, very hairy, a piece of cloth covering his legs and lower torso, with the cloth going over part of his upper torso in a diagonal line. Parts of armour has been placed around the middle of body and upper body, making it look like part of a breastplate torn off. Armour pads on his shoulders.
Position: He has his own ship. In the Gnawenak tongue, the word translates to 'The Fort of Laughter'
Rank: He is the Grand-Gnaw, meaning in the tongue of the Gnawenak that he has control over the Gnawenak army. The position is similar to that of the Field Marshal/General of the army post in the British and American armies. This means he controls the whole army and the Generals below him. He is also given the title of Ghowl. This title confirms he has the support of the original tribes of Gnawenak that lived on his planet Gnarlenos (a planet just of the course of the solar system the 8 human ships are traveling to)
Personality: Ruthless, cunning and clever, but stupid at the same time in some sense. He is always laughing and cracking strange jokes, many of which only the Gnawenak would get.
Backstory: He grew up in a romote part of the desert planet known to his race as Gnarlenos. There had been divisions in the planet-between the smart tech loving Gnawenak and the rather also crazy and ferral tribes (in the deeper part of the desert). He gained the support of the initial (non-tech) tribes of Gnarlenos, becoming a tribal leader. He faced tough challenges, in trying to unite the tribes on his side. He approached the tech loving part of Gnarlenos with the tribes waiting for him on his side of the planet and single handedly took on the 'laughing scientist' who commanded the advancements in the tech. After murdering him, the wise council of the tech side of Gnarlenos permitted him to take over the role in controlling the tech forces. He essentially united Gnarlenos as one huge army force. He ordered for the grand 'laughing' empire to go forth and rule the other planets, taking over other planets they could find. They were approached by a larger ship from an organisation known as the 'Castle of Madness.' This was a ship containing many different races, united in the same goal of ruling the solar systems and other galaxies. Groargo was asked by the Grand Jester of the upper council of the Madness Empire to join them. Groargo accepted, with only two things on his mind: money and planets.

The above post about this new race leader may seem confusing, but I've got an idea of what he will do.

2. in no realistic way is a twenty something ever been a general.
3. Kingdom is the Royal empire of Britain not the ship.

General Hux. Also, see the above thing I did, I was editing the post as you posted. I added a wierd new character that will serve as the leader of an alien race based on bipedal Hyenas. I will go and clear up the rest.

Is it that when the humans boarded the ship, they when into the freeze-sleep thing as soon as they set off? I assumed that they waited for a bit. I also edited the post with the right kingdom this time, instead of the ship.
 
yes. They went into hyper sleep soon after they boarded. Though they prepaired for most outcomes they didn't think they would be waking up before they arrived at40 Eridani A.
 
seriously we need to stop posting at the same time.

yeah a captain and a major can have just as much of an importance as a cornel/ general.

With that in mind, Orson will have to start off as a Major in the British section of Aries and then get demoted with the backstory stuff.
