Excerpt from Era 1272 History & Setting
History:
Not much is known about humanities history from before leaving the Milky Way Galaxy, only that 1272 years before Seedfall, humanity began to fall ill, a disease called Echo- a man made retrovirus- began to slowly wipe out planet after planet. Thus the Seed program began, creating hundreds of ships capable of leaving the galaxy, and entering a new one with already scouted, habitable planets. It took 500 years to complete the Seedships, and another 200 to collect enough supplies for the intergalactic trip. Finally, after a total of 800 years, the Seedships were ready to go- and just in the nick of time, nearly 3/4 of the human population had been wiped out at this point from Echo. With assistance from various AI, the last humans- completely free of Echo- entered the Seedships, and were put into cryo-sleep. The AI piloted the Seedships to the Novus Galaxy, and started to build up on the planet they landed on- originally supposed to be Threa only. Except for the few ships that veered off course, thus the other species in the Novus Galaxy. It has recently been discovered, however, that the ships veered off course due to a rogue AI called Kain who corrupted other AI, thus their ships going off course. Luckily, due to the Seedships, humanity was able to keep some contact with those who landed on other planets, except for those who landed on the planet Apto- the Ulan. After space travel had been reached again- after the planets themselves were stable- the now several species began building space stations and such, the largest one, sitting in the center of the galaxy, which is where the Galactic Council lives and works. After the council was founded, a new group was founded, the Templar. The Templar are the highest authority in the Novus Galaxy, only answering to the Galactic Council themselves. Templar number in the mere hundreds, only taking the best of the best into their circle. Templar duties are to keep the galaxy safe, chase down and neutralize Poachers, Pirates, Smugglers, Crime Lords, Pimps, Slavers, etc. Who, unfortunately have become quite huge these days.
Setting:
The setting is a simple one, but with many paths one can take. The Galactic Council makes all the big, galaxy wide decisions, with the Templar being the executors of their will. The UTF continues to prosper and thrive, colonizing planet after planet. The Atian race tries their best to avoid extinction, fighting Poachers and slavers to keep their women and men out of their greedy hands. And the Ulan continue to protect their secrets and technology, refusing to share their greater achievements and technology. And the Black Market has never been better for those who deal in the shadows- the slave market being particularly successful- as well as drug dealers, pirates, pimps and gangsters doing what they do best, flourishing in the deep reaches of space, the Atra Cluster especially, being where the UTF and the Galactic Council cannot reach. There are others of course, traveling merchants, private transporters, bounty hunters, etc who make their way through the galaxy doing what they can to survive.
