The problem, or perhaps, the awareness of the problem began at the end of World War II and abruptly gained the interest of the public at the end of the twentieth century. With the arrival of the new millennium came a flood of scientific research involving the effects of human life on the planet. Worry and debate erupted among politicians and filtered down through the class system until even the common layman knew of the issues raised by the release of pollutants into the air. Companies started to place an emphasis on becoming "Green" or "Eco-friendly" in order to reduce their carbon footprints and prevent the disaster of global warming. Hybrid cars were produced and alternative energy sources became the focus of engineers and inventors everywhere. However, despite how many preventative measures were put into place the damage to the Earth's ecosystem proved to be irreversible. By the year 2030 the Earth slowly began to fail and, one year later, the world's most powerful governments had come together to and officially condemned the third planet of the Solar System.
An emergency situation was declared. All other issues were postponed and the great leaders of the Earth came together to propose solutions to their crisis. Finally, after an entire year of wild debates, the problem was solved with a single word: space. They simply needed more space. And were better to find space then, well, outer space? The great space programs around the world, most of which had been abandoned for less "frivolous" pursuits, were quickly reinstated. In particular, the United States, Russia, Europe, Canada, and Japan banned together to start an unprecedentedly advanced project. Using the International Space Station, which had been created in 1998, they began to rapidly expand the artificial satellite. It grew larger and the technology quickly advanced until, finally, it could grow no more. And so another station was created, and then another after that. By 2056 the majority of the Earth's population had been evacuated into the Earth's orbit. After nearly twenty-five years of struggling, they had finally accomplished their goal: the human race had been saved.
From then on a new plan fell into place. In order to salvage the world that they had nearly destroyed, a massive effort began to rejuvenate Earth. A serum was devised by the population's most notorious scientists that would increase the growth rate of the Earth's plants. When it was finally developed fully, they spread it over the planet and left scientists on the Earth in order to observe Earth's recovery. For twenty years they continued to spread the growth serum until the planet was finally capable of carrying on without assistance. It wasn't until over two-hundred years had passed that they finally reevaluated the Earth's health. The planet had recovered to the point where it appeared that the humans had never lived there at all. Only the shells of their biggest cities remained. In 2311 Earth began to be recolonized. Small, multicultural cities sprung up on the planet. Their growth was highly monitored and, soon enough, things on Earth were perfectly balanced between the humans and nature. It appeared that things had been returned to normal and that the world was healed.
Around that time, an outstanding discovery was made.
Casilium.
A byproduct of the rejuvenate serum that seeped through the Earth's crust for generations; the crystals built up and were ruled as a minor annoyance when colonies sought expanded. The worthless rocks were often given to children as chalk. However when the crystals were struck together ( by some poor child ) they erupted and Casilium was born. A highly stable, non radioactive, clean burning, odorless, fuel capable of producing thousands of times the current output of any fuel known to man. The children toys became a commodity over night, solar power rather unreliable during deep space exploration; after the first collapse of humanity on Earth, humans have been in search of a larger home, Mars already a buzzing metropolitan. Humans have extended their reach far into the depths of space.
Since the Great Fall there have been two equally powerfully forces at work; Mother and Father. After the Earth was successfully recolonized the two powers split into what they are now, equal forces with very different views and soon, war brought out. The sky was blanketed, Earth's atmosphere swarmed with the drums of war.
Ten long years this war has been raging and with no clear end in sight. All manner of young men have entered the program, whether they were earth born or spun around millions of miles from the planet. They have come to serve under Mother and purge the universe of Father's hold. As of now, Mother is losing this war and we can't have that happen under any circumstances gentleman.
Our story begins on the S.F.S EQUINOX, a fully equipped battle station with a mix of many men young and old, experienced and not. Small ships arrive from time to time packed with starry-eyed fresh meat ready to get their first real taste of war. This ship is not special, but something is coming and the time is near to separate the boys from men.

casilium
---------------------
Without a doubt the ignition of a long brewing animosity. A palm full of the stuff can power a single space station for months on end. The Earth itself is teaming with the large crystals and passively minded since it produces such a high energy output.
mother
------------------
Our hero's call her leader, Mother as a person who is near faceless to those outside The Circle but all know of the knowledge she provides. Composed of the remnants of the America's and Europe's governments. Mother has evolved into the seemingly benevolent caregiver not seeking war but neither shying away from it. The Circle is a group composed of all women that relay Mother's orders.
father
--------------
Once a combination of all remaining nations, Father has splintered off, small fractions of the American's and Europe government remain but have all assimilated in a force wishing to protect it's people from all dangers and strife. Mother was but a tiny part of Father some thirty six years ago and words have been cross between the two agencies ever since.
the great fall
-------------------------------
What started as a petty dispute quickly swelled into full blown war nearly a decade ago. The Fall is not just a term but an actual event that accrued on Earth. Ten year ago a rig in the the middle of the Pacific ocean exploded. It was apart of mutual territory and due to hostilities boats could not be sent in to rescue survivors and many, many were lost. With tension already being strung so tight the public cried out for justice. A week later in Moscow a Father official was captured, tortured and murdered; his body found a week and a half later mangled beyond recognition and thus began the great space war.
s.f.s. equinox
---------------------------------
One of the finest ships in Star Fleet, it's the setting of most of our story. Both fighters and navigators have a commanding officer, communication is somewhat restricted between the two office's, each having an agenda and forced to work with one another. The S.F.S ( Star Fleet Ship ) are comprised of eight major sectors including: 1: Engine Facilities, 2: Weapons Bay, 3: Fighters Bay 4: Flight Deck, 5: Navigators Bay 6: Hospitalities, 7: Communications, 8: Command Head Quarters.
fighters & navigators
-----------------------------------------------------
Each ship set in the middle of war consist of a fighter, and a navigator. The navigators do just what they were named to do, they navigate. They are the ones steering the ship and are in full control of it. The fighters on the other hand are the ones behind the weapons and buttons. They are the ones that shoot down the enemy, and usually give orders to their navigators. Fighters are brutal and brave, usually having much courage and no fear. On the other hand, navigators are intelligent and obedient. This is just a stereotype though, some pairs never take this role. There are rankings that most take after, 1: Private, 2: Corporal, 3: Lieutenant, 4: Sergeant, 5: Captain, 6: Commanding Officer. There are only two commanding officers of the entire ship, one for fighters and one for navigators, and very few Captains and Sergeants. But there are a wide variety of Privates to Lieutenants. The uniforms between the two are very different, thus making it easy to distinguish. Seen here, navigators are on the right and fighters are on the left.
rules
-------------------------
You are required to follow the rules, every single one of them. There aren't much, but please, take thirty-seconds out of your life to do so. In terms of role playing, no sticky or suggestive details. Yes we're adults here but no need for cybering on the forums, take it elsewhere. Be respectful to your fellow role players, no fighting, be polite. Like many on here, I do believe in the concept of quality over quantity. I want to see a personal style reflected in your writing as well as a mixed integration of action and description. Post length doesn't matter unless it's under a paragraph. I don't want to see any one-liners, a paragraph is three - four sentences. Anyone can meet that. All things considered, I do know that real life problems happen, and I want you to make your life a priority. If you need to leave for some time, let me or someone else know. With this also being said, don't spam post. Allow everyone to get their post in - no one likes to feel rushed. I want you to make characters that you're going to be proud of and that you're going to enjoy playing. You want to be a captain or a leader? Go right ahead, just let me know ( I'm very flexible when it comes to role plays ). Have fun.
