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

The fact is, I've kind of lost interest in the site lately. Quite frankly, nothing very interesting has been happening. Several key members have left. Anyways, I figure that maybe we ought to discuss major changes that might attract new members. I've come up with a couple, but any advice is appreciated. - A cosmetic change. The current skin has been feeling dark and unwelcoming lately. Granted, we have a dark storyline, but it would be nice to get a lighter look. A black/silver skin, closer to what I had originally intended, may be much better than what we have now. - New weapons. This is perhaps the most overdue update. When I made the weapons, I figured I would update them once people exceeded the post count for the current weapons. It's been months since then, so we definitely ought to have more. - Further promotion opportunities. Raro and Sharpe, our old staff, haven't been very active lately. If I were to promote some new co-admins, then the site could be updated more frequently. - An advertising blitz. There are hundreds of sites out there devoted to advertising, and even more that would have members interested in Onyx Skies. I probably won't be able to go to all the sites with potential members, so any help advertising would be appreciated - New events. It's been ages since the last battle, quite frankly. Another invasion would pick up the pace, instead of the minor skirmishes and missions we've been doing Any feedback would be appreciated. I hope that I'll be able to get over this lack of enthusiasm soon. With more members, it'd be easier to pick up the slack.

IMHO, i don thtink it's a good solutions either... no point in making new worlds if nobody's gonna post there. as for the more bigger things in the story line, i do agree with that.. another invasion would increase the excitement. as for promoting, if you want to bring people to onyx skies, you gotta know what kind of people you're trying to reach out to. it's quite pointless to invite Romance or fantasy RPers to join a scifi RP. and once you do find potential RPers to join onyx skies, we have to gain their interest... the easiest way would be having the game to have something in common with what they like. after all, nobody likes a game which they have a hard time relating with their interests.
