It had all ended in a fiery haze.
Hundreds of thousands of years of progress flushed down the drain, and all was well again.
The hostilities had ended, finally. Earth was safe. With time, the cockroaches died out, and the nests had flown away in the cool breeze. It was almost as if the planet let out an audible sigh when the ICBM's hit. The screaming and crying of the human race had finally stopped, and there was nothing. Nothing but tranquility in the radioactive fields and glens.
From the shores of Heligoland to the peaks of Fuji. Everything finally calmed down. No vehicles excreting their acrid stench, no weapons firing, no factories releasing that cursed smoke. Just the sacred mother tending to her children again. She helped it grow back, nuclear craters were once again green and beautious, the mutated flora and fauna found their homes. No more cockroaches, no more hives nestled deep underground.
But humanity loomed upon her once again, eager to rake their hoe's through her skin and scar her face with their tracks and wheels. But it would be a long time until then, so she let them stay within her orbit, dying out slowly. Their screams and cries for help became whispers amongst the stars, they had been plotting for a while.
Her orbital field became a cloud of mosquitos surviving on synthetic food and space scrap. Their quiet jealousy of her was apparent, and their constant poverty was well deserved, the interconnected tunnels in the vast darkness almost always filled with disease and death.
But even in death, humanity had learned well not to go quietly into that good night. Explosions still resounded off of satellites, and gunshots still echoed in the vast cyclopean mazes they had once set into orbit. The human race had become so good at destroying itself, and now life had become fundamentally the same as before, if a bit cramped and dark.
These colossal labrinyth's marked the ongoing suffering of the cockroaches, emblems and insignias marked the hallways and bridges, denoting the ancient nature of humans to find a group. Some still survived in the cold dark, longing to return to the lush paradise below.
The close to four hundred thousand humans left alive kept infighting now, there was naught for hope in the solar system. Mother Earth rejoiced, her greatest enemy was near to fall, and yet there was a sickening feeling in her stomach. They'd brought so much more than she'd anticipated, beauty and bastard alike.
But now they hid in the stations, eating their rations and waiting out their final end. Nothing but the tiny flickering light of hope keeping them going in the eternal winter. Now and then a station could contact another, or a ship landed on the moon, or an asteroid was retrieved and made into a home for a while. But all things die out.
All things will eventually die out, even in these dire times.

Taking place in the cold, dark orbit of Earth, this roleplay will mainly be about a few space stations and satellites which have been fashioned for use as last bastions of humanity. Players will explore the Earth's orbit and practice diplomacy with other player owned nations, these nations have been formed in these spaceships and station of a thousand people at the very most.
Battle mechanics will be done in a d20 format, and I will have a OOC discord made in a bit.
