Many years ago, the sentient species of the Milky Way were nearly wiped out by a foe known as the Raxan. This species was terrible and cruel, its overriding hive mind directing it towards one purpose: conquest of all. The Raxan were a race of beings with no kindness or compassion, as well as being incapable of feeling any kind of emotion at all. The Raxan were beaten back, however, and under threat of annihilation the Raxan agreed to never again take up arms, and were monitored closely to make sure they would honor their word.

For over five hundred years, the Milky Way Galaxy enjoyed relative peace and prosperity under the Federation of Planets. The galaxy was seemingly on its way towards Utopia, a new golden age of cooperation between races.

However, that would not last.

The Federation became bloated and corrupt. They mishandled many catastrophes, wronging several species that were considered to be minor in the galactic stage. Their mangled policies and crippling red tape led towards a violent uprising by a group known as the Rebellion. EIn addition, the Raxan seemed to be with them. The Rebellion "liberated" the surrounding planets and it appears that they had established an alliance with the Raxan. With the ultimate warrior race on their side, the Rebellion is a threat the Federation can no longer ignore. The galaxy is tearing apart at the seams. Will you fight for peace and stability or do you sympathize with the Rebellion's cause?

Federation space

Regular Forum Psyclo
Psyclos is covered by what appears to be crystalline structures, but are actually vegetation that refract sunlight into a food source, emanating psionic energy and oxygen as by-products. Naturally, organisms evolved to take advantage of this energy supply. Psyclos itself is home to dozens of super-cities.

Regular Forum Earth
The homeworld of the humans. The climate here is rather widely varied and rather neutral. It is covered 70% in water. It is quite a different planet from what it was at the dawn of the space age in the 21st century.

Regular Forum Falke
A low-gravity planet where flying creatures and huge predators have evolved. Falke is covered in dense forests and is quite rainy. The only exception is at the poles, where the forests disappear. Falke is warm and humid, which can be slightly uncomfortable for humans. The cities here were originally built for flying creatures, with land routes as an afterthought for their aerially disabled. Because of this, other creatures may find them a bit difficult to navigate.

Faeron is the homeworld of the warrior race, the Faeron. Faeron looks like a barren world from space, but it is actually a thriving agricultural world. Faeron is covered in volcanoes, lava flows, and rivers of lava. There are small lakes dotting the landscape supplying water to the rest of Faeron via canals.

Regular Forum Raxis
Home of the Raxan, Raxis is a planet covered in soot and ash. The Raxan have no motivation to conserve the environment, and most species that weren't able to co-exist with them were wiped out. A very gloomy world, and it's very fiercely defended.

Regular Forum Androc
The homeworld of the Scorin, Androc is a desert world with very little rainfall, with occasional savannahs breaking up the scenery. Most of the water there has retreated to underground aquifers, and as such, over 75% of nonsentient life on Androc can be found in caves. Careful of traveling outside of the cities.

Regular Forum (No New Posts) Yule
An asteroid orbiting a small rocky planet, Yule is the last place you'd expect to find life. Yet, find life you do. The beings here are silicon-based and can exist in deep space. The organisms feed on a rich metal supply on and in the asteroid. This rich metal supply has attracted the attention of most of the galaxy, and Yule is one of the mining capitals of the galaxy now. The atmosphere of Yule is quite thin, and oxygen tanks are required to breathe outside of some domed cities.
