Hey there RPers
I'm new to the forum, but I'd thought I'd start a new story based in the SC2 universe.
In SC3, there was a mention about an Earthling super ship, called the Galacticus, but when hyperspace supposedly "collapsed" it dissapeared. It was never found. On board that ship was many other ships belonging to other races.
Here, I've made it that something happened to the Galacticus: When Hyperspace collapsed, the Galacticus was left in truespace. The Melnorme, came back and told the Galacticus crew what happened, and seeing this new super ship stranded in the middle of nowhere without hyperspace, it would eventually be lost forever, with no way to come back..
So, the Melnorme made a deal with the Galacticus crew, and using their Metachron, they transported them to their own galaxy (Andromeda).
The Melnorme knew that Zelnick was on a mission to stop the eternal ones feeding in that part of the galaxy, so they couldn't hire him to do the job.
The Melnorme explained to the crew that they were at war civil war with the Kelnorme. The Melnorme are a race who are obsessed with colours and are generally good traders. The Kelnorme are the opposite brothers of the Melnorme, and believe in evil trading and are obsessed with metallic colours.
The Melnorme also said to the Galacticus crew that they must stop the Kelnorme at all costs, think of the Kohr-Ah and Druuge x 1000, if the Melnorme are defeated. The Galacticus was then fitted with new engines, similar to that of the Metachron, but this only works in the Andromeda galaxy. The Melnorme have also said that in this kind of space lies the hidden Taalo, although this remains to be seen, and several Orz have came up in this space, apparantly *chasing* the Taalo. It appears that you can *slide*! and this is that *funny space* the Orz are talking about.
Although this new dimension seems hazardous, it is generally like Hyperspace and Quasispace, you can *unslide* and enter a system.
New races may await to be found, but one thing, you must help the Melnorme to win the war for their half, or else as the Melnorme put it.. All galaxies will be enslaved.
*Additional Info on the Galacticus Ship*
Engineering- Home of the Galacticus Melnorme reactor.
Crew Decks- Home of well.. anyone. (only SC2 races).
Design + Science Bay- Where we figure out strange artifacts and new designs.
Temple- Praying before a battle, or to pray to a lost one, or just general worship.
Bar- Drink here after a battle or just for laffs.
Bridge- Where many of the senior crew do the stuff they do.. save the galaxy.
Manufacture- We build ships, and kick ass stuff.
(more decks would be good, but only logical. Modules would be built later on after tech from other races).
In this RP, you can be any SC2 races, you could be a Ur-Quan tactician, or a Pkunk priest, or an Umgah scientist (now that would be funny), working on the ship, as we find new allies, and such to help against the Melnorme conflict.
*** Current Galacticus Starship ***
5 Inactive Hellbore Cannons.
5 Inactive Shiva Furnaces.
3 Crew Modules, total crew compliment 300.
1 Melnorme Reactor
2 High Efficient Fuel Systems, holds approx 50 fuel, used to hold 200 Hyperspace fuel but this was converted to Melnorme fuel leaving 50.
10 Ship Docks- 2 of which are Earthling Cruisers. The other 8 are for the other RPers.
3 Storage Modules.
2 Planet Landers.
We also have a lot of Precursor stuff, but half of them need to be found out what they do. Some could be from SC3 too.
*****
The Galacticus may seem godly (and indeed it was) but most of the stuff just became inactive once Hyperspace died.
Heres my Character:
John Keaar- Captain of the Starship Galacticus. After Hyperspace collapsed, he was the one who decided to follow the Melnorme's descision of going to the Andromeda galaxy (mainly due to being stranded in the middle of nowhere without any contact nor communication). He now travels the Andromeda galaxy with the crew of the new Alliance of Free Stars and some Ex-Hierarchy aliens, as they try to find a way to fight the Kelnorme.
