FTL: Aftershock





Juggernaut


The vid screen displays the news, the usual stories. Piracy in quadrant 5z is at an all time high, video of the rebel flagship destroying another Federation fleet, stock prices, fuel prices, and then, suddenly, the screen goes blank. People walking by stop and point, whispering amongst themselves. For years, this screen in the middle of this city, on this planet, had been lit up non stop. Then as people start to walk away, a face appears.

A voice from off screen speaks. "Sir, you are go, we have full control."

The man, older, with haunted eyes, fully faces the screen. Artificial light illuminates his face, likely making him appear older than he is. Behind him, the black back drop could be dark space, or just a curtain. The screen shows just enough of his shoulders and his collar for people to be able to see the military jacket and the medals pinned to his chest. This is General Alket, highest surviving general of the Rebel Blitz. His eyes move around, almost as if he can see each person through the screen, then he speaks.

"Citizens... you are being lied to. The propaganda flooding the info-net would have you believe that the Federation is all but defeated. That we cower in fear, simply running for survival. I assure you, good people, this is far from the truth! The federation is alive, and well!"

The live stream cuts to the destruction of an enormous ship, which could only be the Rebel flagship, then returns to the General's face. At this point, armed rebel guards begin appearing, setting up a ring around the screen, trying to force people to move along. The crowd surges against them.

"Less than seven galactic days ago, a federation ship bearing crippling recon information against the rebel fleet destroyed the Rebel flagship. They are weaker now than ever they were! We are the Federation! We are not children playing at war! We are men and women fighting for your freedom! For all our freedom!"

The crowd, which was nearly double the size it had been when it started, began cheering in response to the words. The guards redoubled their effort to move along the populace, but the crowd was too big, and continued to push against them.

"So I say to you, have hope. And don't give up. Because we are The Federation. We are a juggernaut. And We! Will! Not! Be! STOPPED!!!"

The screen goes black again, and then a few seconds later it returns to the news, where the two newscasters sit, staring in confusion at the camera. The crowd below continues cheering raucously, their excitement ignited by the General's speech.

The war was about to begin.




A continuation of he bare story offered by the app FTL. The federation and the Rebels both lay claim to the ruling of the galaxy. A secret federation ship has recently delivered crucial data to the federation base, destroying the rebel's super cruiser flagship in the process. After this defeat, the rebels have halted their advances in order to regroup, giving the federation time to regroup and bolster their forces as well.
As things stand, the Rebels and the Federation stand at roughly equal power. The pirates and mercenaries of the galaxy are still conducting business as usual and the Zoltan, a notoriously peace-loving race is lobbying for a non-violent solution.

2014-05-30 [Tekkon KinKreet]: just a basic outline, but i dont want to take it any further if no one is interested, so please, if your interested, leave a comment.

2014-05-30 [Lirerial]: I'm game to give it a try

2014-05-30 [Tekkon KinKreet]: k cool, and thank you

2014-05-30 [Tekkon KinKreet]: crap, forgot to mention, only the humans have separate genders that are noticeable. rockmen, mantis, and slug have separate genders, but you cant tell the difference. Zoltan and engi do not have genders.

2014-05-30 [Lirerial]: I'm in love with the Mantis race lol

2014-05-30 [Tekkon KinKreet]: they are very mean lol. its always nice to have one or two around.

2014-05-30 [Tekkon KinKreet]: well, as long as they are your friends 8)

2014-05-30 [Flisky]: I'm not sure if I'm interested or not because I'm not sure about what exactly is going on.

2014-05-30 [Flisky]: Usually rebels are good. :P

2014-05-30 [Tekkon KinKreet]: usually, but not this time 8)

2014-05-31 [Nuktae-tal]: I am interested!!!

2014-06-01 [Tekkon KinKreet]: awesome. flisky never actually stated interest, but if shes interested ill finish up all this and we can get started.

2014-06-01 [Flisky]: I'm reading and I still have no idea what's going on...

2014-06-01 [Tekkon KinKreet]: lol. ok. you will be fighting for the federation. the federation is recovering from the original outbreak of the conflict, a blitzkrieg coup de tat by the rebels. and the rebels are recovering from a incident involving a federation ship that carried vital recon information to the federation hq, destroying the rebels most powerful ship, which was also their flagship in the process. Both sides are currently at about equal power, the destruction of the rebels super cruiser severely damaging their military might. the rebels orchestrated the coup because they felt that humanity was giving aliens too much liberty with human tech, and was allowing them to have to many rights, and should instead conquer the galaxy. right now, as it the rp begins, the federation brass will be deciding their next step and trying to recruit forces.

2014-06-03 [Tekkon KinKreet]: i guess i will finish this out and play a character so there's three people to start with. then later if we get more people i can kill my character or something. so ill start working on this, maybe get some pictures of the different ships or descriptions, and get the page all pretty-fied.

2014-06-03 [Tekkon KinKreet]: ok, the front page, the ships page, and the race page are done, now i just need to do some decorating, but this part of the page is functional. I'll get the characters and actual play page set up later. let me know what you think so far.

2014-06-03 [Tekkon KinKreet]: Also, if anyone can write a better speech for the general, be my guest lol im not very good at speeches, never have been.

2014-06-16 [Nuktae-tal]: It was a great speach

2014-07-21 [Tekkon KinKreet]: Lol thanks

2014-07-21 [Tekkon KinKreet]: I'm on my iPad right now but I'll add your character later nuktae. Glad you're still interested. If only more people were 8(

2014-07-22 [Dezmond]: I'm interested in joining, but before i get a character started, I need a little more detail about some of the races. Primarily your "slug" race. It states that they're a telepathic being, but i dont even know if they have any appendages to use weaponry, or are they strictly a "telepathic warfare" type of race.

2014-07-23 [Tekkon KinKreet]: They have two arms. Guess I was kinda vague there. Sorry

2014-07-23 [Nuktae-tal]: sorry it took me so long to respond to this I had no internet and only my phone that had no signal. But now I have unlimited internet, and my computer back up!

2014-07-23 [Tekkon KinKreet]: Yay!

2014-07-23 [Nuktae-tal]: yes and now I can be on regularly!!

2014-07-23 [Tekkon KinKreet]: That makes me happy lol we can rp!

2014-07-24 [Nuktae-tal]: yes we can! You have no idea how it feels to be back on the net and here!

2014-07-24 [Tekkon KinKreet]: Oh but I do... I not- at-all-fondly remember the times I didn't have the nets and had to use the libraries one hour to get everything done one here and some other sites. -_- It was hell

2014-07-24 [Nuktae-tal]: I can imagine, I did go to the library but the books always distracted me!

2014-07-24 [Tekkon KinKreet]: I was very active here then. I couldn't afford distractions. XD

2015-03-02 [Emporer Sensi]: Hmm.

2015-03-12 [Tekkon KinKreet]: Hi

2015-03-13 [Nuktae-tal]: it's been a long time!

2015-04-15 [Tekkon KinKreet]: It has

2016-02-20 [Mortified Penguin]: *comes bursting in*

2016-02-26 [Tekkon KinKreet]: oh no! its the penguin master of bobs diner!

2016-04-09 [Synirria]: This looks extremely interesting. Now... it's been a VERY long time since I've made a bio so... bare with me lol

2016-04-09 [Tekkon KinKreet]: lol it'll be fine i'm sure.

2016-04-10 [Synirria]: Okay this is what Im going to do. I've got an idea in my mind but Im really tired so Im going to jot down some notes and after I get my hair dyed tomorrow Im going to write her up.

2016-04-10 [Tekkon KinKreet]: awesome and thank you. looking forward to rping with you.

2016-04-10 [Synirria]: :D Me too Sometimes I can go overboard with my posts just let me know if they every get too long.

2016-04-10 [Nuktae-tal]: so far we have no real problems with longer posts.

2016-04-10 [Tekkon KinKreet]: nope some of my posts are really long too. i get into and i just kinda go lol

2016-04-11 [Synirria]: Okay good and I promise Im working on the bio Im just having a really hard time with it for some reason

2016-04-11 [Tekkon KinKreet]: lol its ok sometimes getting a character you're happy with is rough. been there done that

2016-04-11 [Tekkon KinKreet]: also you have some time, we haven't left the town yet and once we do i can just skip ahead to a situation where we can run into each other.

2016-04-12 [Synirria]: The part Im having problems with is the history... Im drawing a complete blank

2016-04-12 [Tekkon KinKreet]: what race did you choose.

2016-04-19 [Nuktae-tal]: I too am curious as to what race lol! History you have a lot of free room on which sometimes make it worse.

2016-04-20 [Synirria]: It was human. I've already posted :-P

2016-04-21 [Nuktae-tal]: I went and checked the bio lol. interesting choice. now is she pro rebel or con?

2016-04-21 [Synirria]: I'm going with pro, since she's looking for a better life she must think it isn't where she is now.

2016-04-22 [Tekkon KinKreet]: our characters are federation. the rebels are the bad guys. just in case you misread something. I know it's usually the other way around.

2016-04-22 [Synirria]: Oh! Yep I was confused... She really doesn't know any better she's kept to herself her entire life so she can be persuaded to either side.

2016-04-23 [Tekkon KinKreet]: gotcha

2016-04-25 [Sheamus Finn]: No pilot?

2016-04-25 [Tekkon KinKreet]: mine and threes can both pilot, though neither of them are anything other than adequate at piloting.

2016-04-25 [Nuktae-tal]: Correct! Three has basic knowledge of flight, It has never actually flown. Thre can repair everything on the ship though.

2016-08-11 [The Black Cat in Your Path]: I'm afraid I've never heard of the app FTL. ^^"

2016-08-11 [Synirria]: Hey kitty cat!

2016-08-11 [The Black Cat in Your Path]: Well, hello! :D

2016-08-12 [Tekkon KinKreet]: hey hey whats up! its a game. was pretty popular. doesn't really matter tho, the game had barely any story to it. i just borrowed some of the ship tek and the races and the idea of federation against rebel.

2016-08-12 [Nuktae-tal]: Cause Tek is cool!

2016-08-12 [Tekkon KinKreet]: errr meant tech lol

2016-08-12 [Nuktae-tal]: ahaahha well Tekkon and Tech are both pretty neat though.

2016-08-12 [Tekkon KinKreet]: ^^awww thanks

2016-08-12 [Nuktae-tal]: No worries!
