Links Rules Galactic Archives Character profiles	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?	Staff members -Sapphire Flame - Tetroneaque

It was a pure image of chaos. Unrest was well known in this city towards the Federation's policies on shipping, but no one suspected things to turn into a full on riot. Rios looked over to Salem as he checked his weaponry, Elliot saw him and looked up from his precious energy rifle, "Rios, tell me this... how the hell does a city on earth break out into a pro rebellion riot." Rios glanced down at the city, seeing firebombs being thrown and shops looted. "A lot of things arrive here from other planets, including ideas, smugglers bring in thing from rebellion space, trouble with this is, is that the rebellion pays smugglers to bring in propaganda. And them planting rebellion agents here doesn't improve the situation much." Rios went over the mission in his head, there were three confirmed rebellion agents, last sighted in the Continental hotel, they were to make they're way to the building and take the agents. There was a large bonus for bringing them in alive for questioning. Rios hated how the Rebellion waged war, they used every tactic necessary for victory. He saw the dropship begin to decelerate, and land on a rooftop about two blocks from their objective. Rios lowered his mask and talked into his com link, "Hey you can't bring us any closer" he heard the pilot reply, "This is as far as I can go, I can't use up all my fuel in case a squad on the ground needs extraction." Rios could tell that Salem had just swore under his breath despite his lowered mask, Rios paused before talking again, "Alright, thanks anyway" He checked his clip and hopped out of the dropship. Salem saw Rios step down from the dropship and followed him. He checked his com link and came behind Rios, "Guess you're taking point Rios, hey isn't this bullshit that they make us go up against Rebellion agents using non lethal rounds." Rios looked over to him, "It is bullshit, but they can't have us killing civilians either." Rios mentally smacked himself in the head, "Didn't think of that bro, alright army of two baby." He stayed close to Rios as he advanced to the roof entrance. Rios looked back and held up three fingers and counted down. Once he reached zero Salem kicked open the door and Rios advanced down the stairs, shotgun ready for whatever could happen. They would have to clear several buildings, but chances are that they would face little if any opposition until they reached the hotel, most of the rioters were in the streets and armed with bludgeoning weapons and crude firebombs, but they had learned fast in the military... never let you're guard down.
