Galactic Wars .

Its an idea for an RPG I have been considering.

The Earth is at war, The year is 2086. The evil Harlacks have launched an attack on Earth, They may have superior weapons but we far outnumber them plus we are more skilled with out weapons.

You take the roll of a marine in the war who helps fight for Earths freedom.

What do you think from that brief description.

It's a cool idea, but I think it should expand even further, out into space. Not deep into space, but have space ships, space battles, etc, and me as the Space Fleet Admiral and you as the Marine General.

No, seriously, if you added it into including space and what have you, and not being solely land and marines, I would be willing to not only join, but help you make it, into detail and make it all nice-looking, like all the RPGs that I make.

And, out of the goodness of my heart, since Harlacks sounds cheesy, you can use my Naotorian species, which is a much cooler, more interesting and original name.

No, seriously, I'd definitely be willing to help you make this RPG, providing that you expand it beyond merely Marines, and others are interested.

Cool, I've been busy the last couple of days so sorry for my late reply but great.
Horlacks is a lame name but I couldn't think of anything else. As for space battles I like the idea, Maybe they come from another solar system not far from ours.

Naotarian is a cool name, I would also love your help. God knows with all of my work lately I'd be hard pressed to do it all by myself. I've made a quick outline of what the plot could be it is open to discussion and hopefully it will get more people interested in this topic, If enough people get interested then I will deffinatly make this RPG, However if its just gonna be a flop then I won't make it.

Story :

In the year 2058 Garth Render launched the first vessel to leave and re-enter our solar sytem in under 2 days. The vessel (Hiroshima) got alot of attention from a race known as the Naotarians although their vessels are bulky and slow they are a supposed 'super power' in our galaxy, They sent a small vessel to greet the human race. The people of Earth greeted them with open hearts and open arms.
Unfortuanatly the Naotorians had a different agenda they were evaulating our planet. They wanted to colonise Earth, Mars and the moon and create a new mining colony, Earth began a huge mass production process on the new space crafts and equiped them with the latest weapons.
The Naotorians were only a few years ahead of Earth technologically, There species though has billions of life forms, Computer estimates and scans taken suggest somewhere between 12 - 20 billion Naotorians marines, Naotorian marines are poorly trained but their numbers are large and they use that to their advantage. Prefering to send in several hundred million against only a few million they use their numbers to their advantage.
Earth having a few hundred million highly trained marines is greatly outnumbered in men even if they are better soldiers, So they focused their tactics on space. Hundreds of colossal ships stand in Earths solar system ready to defend from Naotorian attacks,
This isn't a war for land, This isn't a war for greed, This is a war for survival.

Hmmm...I have some suggested adjustments that play on what you have there, which could also work in some of my ideas for something else, from which my Naotorian idea comes...Let's see...

Captain.Dan V2 · **Sun Feb 05, 2006 8:43 am**

Man I love that idea it sounds so cool, I was thinking for the ships were more along the lines of Sw/Battlestar galactica so it could work nicely if we slide some ST technology in there.
I also really like the idea of having a RPG which is linked to this one, The communications between the two topics would be great in the way that it would actually be another topic AND another plot and a real charactor explaining it all except one person playing the communicator, In other words I like the idea.
First of all though we need to get people interested so I'll start a poll in this topic.
BTW a site you might like is www.swcombine.com .

I've given the poll a 28 length and I haven't put the option 'Haven't decided yet' because it is in my opinion a pointless option. If you haven't decided yet just post in here why you haven't decided and what you think needs added or taken away.

Republican_Man · **Sun Feb 05, 2006 2:22 pm**

Well, I wasn't thinking it quite like that--we'd have to change the summary around a bit, then--but that would be cool, providing that we could have a catalyst for it.
Maybe we could even simply start a forum for it--the adventures of an exploration starship and a war going on at the same time or something like that. But what I was thinking more with that is that other idea is that it would be more different from the war and include much that isn't, including pre-war, during war (and not just in the war), and post-war stuff.
But yeah, something could be worked out.

Captain.Dan V2 · **Mon Feb 06, 2006 3:21 am**

I could start a forum and there could be a section for :

Before the war
During the war
After the war
Not much to do with the war at all

I think a forum would be better than STV because we would have more room to manouvere but we could do things all in order and start,

1.) Before the war
2.) During the war + Not much to do with the war
3.) After the war + Not much to do with the war

I personally like your ideas

.

Republican_Man · **Mon Feb 06, 2006 3:24 am**

Thanks. However, there's one thing. It would get too confusing to do a before, during, and after the war forum, and would leave less room for expansion, etc. If anything it should be sequential.
Perhaps we start out with simply having the Star Voyager's original mission, and then once we get to the war have a forum for the ship's exploits and then the rest of the parts of the war. Once the war is over, we switch back to only having the ship.
How does that sound?
Oh, and I think you should wait on starting the site...As a matter of fact, I would like to actually do that, if you don't mind, with you. I could perhaps even start the forum in whole as well, and have you join and add you in as an admin.

Captain.Dan V2 · **Mon Feb 06, 2006 12:05 pm**

Sure thing dude, Also I suppose your right about the before middle and end of the war thing. I was getting ahead of myself, So whos gonna start the Star Voyager thing ?

Admiral Dani�l · **Mon Feb 06, 2006 1:45 pm**

Ok I'll join when it comes, and I'm not debating with you 2, I'm too bad at it

Republican_Man · **Mon Feb 06, 2006 5:18 pm**

Captain.Dan V2 · **Tue Feb 07, 2006 4:20 am**

Cool.

Republican_Man · **Fri Feb 10, 2006 7:25 pm**

I'm starting the forum in a bit...I think it'd be best and far more organized if, at least in the beginning, all we had was the Star Voyager and Star Voyager crew.
I can change things if you want, but I would like to be the Captain (especially considering the fact that I've been/am a Captain in several popular RPGs and have been credited as a good RP'er

) and the fleet's admiral (whom will make a few appearances, and change the name to James Azzar. If that's alright with you, of course--it was your idea. I can always change some things around...I have some good ideas for the voyages, too.
Anyways, I'm gonna call the RPG The Space Revolution. I can always start a new site if you don't think that appropriate, but the reason that I choose that is how, throughout history, we've gone through several agricultural revolutions, the industrial revolution, etc. I think that this new space revolution fits with that, and therefore think the name appropriate.
I'll PM you the link, though, so we can get things set up before recruiting members...[/i]

Republican_Man · **Fri Feb 10, 2006 7:41 pm**

Actually, now that I think of it, perhaps it'd actually be better if we just started an RPG he for the Star Voyager and yet have a non-forum site (free, which I just got) for it, and have the adventures of the starship there and eventually, once we get to the war, carry it over.
There's just no huge reason to start a forum for one individual forum...

Republican_Man · **Fri Feb 10, 2006 8:51 pm**

Here's an idea for the Star Voyager and the rest of the Exploration line/class of ships.

I also think we should develop a warship kind of starship as well, for once the war starts--but a logical ship at that.
Again, I'm really thinking that having it here would be better.

Captain.Dan V2 · **Sat Feb 11, 2006 5:18 am**

If were going to work with one vessel and its journey through time and all of these events and everything then I must admit here is probably better than starting a new forum.
But the warships I was thinking about were very similar to the ones Quake four and alot like Star Destroyers.

Republican_Man · **Sat Feb 11, 2006 3:09 pm**

Maybe. Thing is, it might be a bit illogical, but yeah, perhaps. I'll look up some other ideas for warships as well. I think the Naotorian ships as Star Destroyers might be a good idea, but probably not Earth warships.
I'm liking the Battlestar Galactica ships for the Earth ship, like that Star Voyager and this ship. I think the latter might be cool for the Earth warships, or some kind of variation.
The Naotorians, though, on the other hand, could get certain SW ships, though--that is, the Star Destroyers. And other aliens as well could get ships from a variety of series. There are so many things we could do in this RPG because it's its own thing--not a Trek, SW, or whatever RPG, but something created by us.
And what I'll do is, if you don't mind, come up with suggestions for parts of the ship, ship positions, ship systems, etc. ASAP--different, yet similar, to Trek. And some other key info as well.

Tuvok8917 · **Mon Feb 13, 2006 10:45 am**

What about this one? I think it's a cool warship

Ok, it's a Krenim warship, but..

Captain.Dan V2 · **Mon Feb 13, 2006 11:35 am**

Its a cool ship but the project no longer has anything to do with me, I've handed it all over to Republican man.

Republican_Man · **Mon Feb 13, 2006 5:23 pm**

Yeah...since it's so different, if you could (since you were the starter of the topic) lock it, that would be great. I might have a catalyst for the RPG, and we'll start a new topic then, when everything's set in motion and able to really get cracking.
Thanks for the suggestions, though! (I'll use 'em!)
