Sci-fi Setting

A scifi setting with it's own lore. 3 different flavors of human. Jump in and explore!

Plot

The galaxy is split between 3 major factions, each human in their own way and all a nuisance to all other lifeforms. The Xenophiles are children of extreme privilege and wealth. Assembled in synthetic wombs, heavily altered before birth and even more heavily altered after birth. Genetic chameleons that constantly find themselves in positions of leadership and diplomatic power wherever they go changing their DNA for a charismatic advantage. The Terrans believe humans are superior to all other lifeforms and are set to proving it by conquering the entire galaxy. Terrans all have a host of powerful superpowers, the ability to fly through space, and the power to tear apart a warship with their bare hands. The only thing stopping them is basic mathematics. There are around one billion Terrans and 5 trillion enemies for them to fight and over 300 billion stars for them to conquer. The Terran Empire is spread very thin with ever shifting borders Finally there are the final human faction arming them all, the Technocracy. The technocrats trade their technology and weaponry with the rest of the galaxy for more resources for their experiments. There is no price the Technocracy will not pay for unlocking the secrets of the universe; be it welcoming alien scientists, allowing human experimentation or allying with an all consuming hive mind. Who will be?You Other factions include the Greater Mind, the Crimson Pirate Consortium, The Federation Alliance, Star Union, AI splinter factions and endless alien cultures and civilizations.

Opening scene

There are moments of quiet, on a farming planet or in the darkest depth of space. The rest are loud, hectic, dangerous, busy. The moment humanity stepped into the stars, it was only a question of when before war followed. This is how the galaxy works. The Terrans raid, conquer, and claim. The Technocracy arms them while remaining in the safety of the galactic core away from the fighting. Finally, the human Xenophiles negotiate a treaty to try hold back the Terrans' expansion. The galaxy has every reason to be weary of humanity. Even fractured as it is, no other species has had such a mark on the galaxy, has left such deep wounds. The galaxy is a big place, from the uninhabitable pulsars to golden systems with multiple habitable planets in orbit. From the pampered nobles in Earth's grandest cathedrals who haven't lifted a single finger in toil all their lives to a poor slave orphan in Lawless space mining volatile materials on an asteroid until the last of their oxygen runs out. There is great difference between the highest of the high and the lowest of the low. It seems war is the only constant in these troubled times. The Terran are always fighting the Federation and the rest of the galaxy for control. Even if you believe that life under Terran tyranny would be preferable to death, you may not be so lucky. To quieten dissent, Terrans are known to silence entire cities permanently. Most of the billions enslaved never see a single Terran unless it is their last day alive. It is not like the technocrats are any better. They are isolationist only where it serves them. They use the galactic war as a testing grounds for their weapons and creations. They certainly are not isolationist when they are paying slavers for more innocent test subjects. They do not have the excuse of the Terrans dogmatic faith, rather, the Technocracy is simply a haven for every mad scientist that views ethics as a mild suggestion, be they human or not. Let us not forget the Xenophiles, found always in circles of diplomacy yet rarely in those of war. Genetic chameleons that replicate the genetic profile of those around them. They may not experiment on you or make you their slave, but before you know it, they will be speaking your language, adopting your culture, and you will find a Xeno human at the head of a board, in command, in a leadership position, preaching tolerance and inclusion, but only to the extent they are included into the conversation. The galactic consensus seems to be that humanity is blight on the face of the galaxy, a blight that will not be contained even by the collective might of the Federation. However, humanity is not the only power or culture in the galaxy. There are millions of different species, cultures and stories. Small colonies easily forgotten on the fringes of space or giant multi-system empires forging a future and a legacy. Who are you? What is your story? Where do you come from and how has your upbringing shaped you into the person you are today? You need to know who you are before you can take on the galaxy and leave your mark on it. After all, a thousand battles are being fought every moment and every second billions of lives start and end. You might just be what changes a thousand tales. Do you have your weapon and smarts ready?
