-Plot-
In ancient times magic was freely flowing through the world, and it was inhabited by countless magical beings. The gods looked over the Earth and maintained balance. Slowly the Human species advanced.But most of the Humans started to abandon magical arts, technology became prevalent. Finally, in unison with the magical species of Earth, the gods created a separate world from Earth, existing in the same place, yet magically shifted, making it impossible for Humans to reach it.
This world, Magiterra, was inhabited completely by magical creatures and gods, no Human would ever find they way inside, or so it was for over 8000 years.
The Human species, who were abandoned by the gods advanced even further, with the aid of Wormhole gates they pushed deep into space, colonizing and discovering countless worlds. Guided by the Human Alliance Earth commands over a thousand worlds and several alien species. Massive corporations are capable of producing countless vehicles and space-ships. However this is far from an utopia, as everything has a back-side.
The Human Alliance is nothing but a puppet to the corporations, who hold it in tight grip and direct it where they want. Despite allowing independence to its colonies and defeated aliens, all jump gates lead only to and from Earth, meaning that any trade and traffic has to go over Earth stations, effectively destroying any attempts at resistance. Besides, all military fleets are to be stationed at Earth.
In the meanwhile, on the gods' world, the situation does not fare good as well, the world remains dead locked in an constant war between the Demons of Utgard and the Angels of Asgard, these two factions refuse to yield to each other and draw the remaining 3 continents of Magiterra into the war, with the gods disappearing soon after the creation of Magiterra, nothing remains to stop the war.
But the cogwheel that moves this story does not originate on Earth or on Magiterra, it originates in a distant system, Cassiopeia.
Cassiopeia is a system composed mostly of a massive accretion disk, several small planets orbit inside of it, each located within a clearing in the disk. This system was extremely rich in metals, but was also the location of a doomed colonial rebellion.
The Cassiopeian colonists fought bravely against the infinite numbers of the Human Alliance, but ultimately they were doomed to lose.
Their final hopes lied in an experimental ship, a remodeled Cruiser holding the name of the system, Cassiopeia. This ship was equipped with the only existing portable wormhole drive. A ship capable of unhindered travel beyond the wormhole gates. The ship launched barely complete, with only the skeleton crew on board, and broke through the Alliance blockade. Activating its wormhole drive and escaping the siege.
Without proper navigation, the ship locked onto Earth, but rather then exiting in its orbit, the ship exited in the orbit of Magiterra. Critically damaged the ship locks in emergency landing procedures and aims for one of the continents of this alien planet.
-Player Role-
There is two distinct roles players will have. four to five players will be the crew of the damaged (and soon crash-landed) Cassiopeia. While the rest of the players will be Magiterrans. The Cassiopeians are a collection of Colonial rebels, civilians and scientists, they will have to gather their whereabouts on this alien world and then choose will they attempt to fix the Cassiopeia, or perhaps inhabit this alien world. There will be only four or five slots for this!
Feel free to ask about technology of 4000 AD!
The Magiterrans can be the inhabitants of a city near which the Cassiopeia will land, a town named Noctis, which is inhabited mostly by Hunters, but is also frequented by various ships and travelers who decide to travel deeper into the continent; The Land on The East.
They can also be expeditionary forces or spies of the Angels or Demons, who wage war on the Eastern and Northern parts of the continent.
Feel free to ask about the available species or the species which mostly inhabit The Land on The East.
