"Tee minus ten. Nine. Eight. Seven. Six. Five. Four. Three. Two. One. We have liftoff." The crewmembers at mission control clap and cheer loudly as the Hummingbird lifts from the platform and begins the first manned mission to Mars. The twenty-two person crew would have to endure one-hundred and sixty-five days in space to Mars, but would arrive to a pre-built biodome, constructed by drones from previous Mars missions. They had made a breakthrough.
Fifty years later, there were regular trips to the red planet. In fact, there were now one-person shuttles and cruise ships to and from Mars. But with every great thing humanity creates, they must ruin with war. It started with China and Russia's territory dispute after the Russian Empire formed and took over much of Asia and Africa. They shot down eachothers satellites, sabotaged some space missions, minor stuff. But then Japan got into the mix. They said American spies had stolen their blueprints for a new space shuttle. They started using their missile satellites and rained hell upon the U.S. Weapons were being rigged onto larger shuttles for space combat. The ISS was shot down, but the current five American crew members got out safely. Another space station was launched under the US's name. This time it was named the Second to None. A combat station. A small hangar with two fighters, multiple missile launchers, and hand-aimed telescopic cannons. World War Three had begun. Except it wasn't just our world. Two worlds, and the space inbetween.
A space combat themed roleplay. Think China and Russia are now the world powers. Japan is pretty much destroyed, and America is in ruins, other than their Mars bases. Russia controls the moon, Africa and the Americas. China controls Antarctica and Asia. America pretty much controls mars. Alright. Here's the character sheet.
