So, I'm going to start a PBF in the whole new and unknown to everyone (except me) world. This world is mostly the future fantasy world with spaceships space battles. But it differs from most of this type world.
General information on world:
Tne main (as for me) race in it are Eridanis. They look much like humans except of their almost pale skin color and that they're taller than humans. But physiology of eridanis is completely different. They have telekinetic abilities and that is the basis of their build. They don't have any muscles so telekinetic power fully compensate the loss. And they can use it outside of body, but this is very exhausting to them, so they don't use it too much. Also they use the energy of the light to maintain their powers so without it after 10 or so minutes they fall unconscious and lie until light appears. Eridani's live for approximately 500 years, after it their telekinetic powers fade and they die. They're extremely fair, and almost never tell lies.
They discovered humans some time after they ventured into space. The humans were not close to the ones we are. In the past the ecology catastrophe wiped out most of the humanity, and only the most prepared survived. The remains are the most educated biologists, who managed to protect themselves and recreate the Earth and continue their studies. Although they didn't invent the good space travel, they've managed to extend their properties to be quite strong and have almost the same longlivity, as the Eridanis. The Eridani space technologies seriously overlapped the human, as well as human biology studies were much bigger than the eridani ones, so they established a long-time alliance.
After that another race joined the alliance. That was the nation of intelligent plants, who travel using special waves, unknown before. Their name can't be spelled neither in human, nor in eridani language. They decline most of their physiology studying, so they're the most mysterious race of the alliance, but besides, they're quite powerful. They travel in metallic spheres with the size approximately equal to human's size. Their technology was able to confront the eridani, but instead the technologies united making deadly creation. After their joint the power of the Alliance increased so that they could discover more of the universe.
Soon enough they discovered that their galaxy is limited and has borders. If something passes it, it mysteriously appears on the other side of galaxy. The borders were spherical. The part of the space they limit was called dimension. After the discovery the way to travel through the border was found. In this way the second dimension was found. The dominating race there was aggressive and declared war on the alliance. However, that war was won without special efforts and the natives were conquered. After the rest after the war, the third dimension was discovered.
There, the PBF should take part. The nation there is much stronger than in the second dimension, and the forces are almost equal. In one of the battles the ship was taken down. The survived crew of this ship are main heroes of the PBF.
According to PM's Silhar and thelaptop and possibly Armallion are playing. But there are still 2~3 places vacant. The PBF thould be using Cortex system.
If you want more information on the Eridanis, you can PM me. I know far more than posted there.
Detailed Technology Information
All Alliance technology is mostly based on 2 unique materials - prodium and illonium. Prodium can be gathered from stars and is very good power source. After its discovery, it became the all-round power source. Compact generator that is capable of powering the small ship for one month - that's what is prodium. Illonium is a mineral gathered on lifeless planets. Under certain conditions it radiates strong light. If focused, it can burn with the power enough to create a hole in a rock. But there is a shield which completely absorbs the light and recharges itself. And, Alliance scientists use wave technology to produce an array of effects, from healing to space warping.
Alliance infantry weaponry
Illonium Rifle
A backbone of alliance firepower. Rifle that produces a high-velocity light beam, capable of burning anything that is not heat resistant.
Illonium Pistol
A smaller and less powerful version of the rifle. Since rifle is very hard to produce, this is the gun most of the ships crew has as their standard weapon.
Illonium Sword
Device that produces highly-concentrated light beam which can pierce anything not protected by eridani shield. The most powerful weapon of close combat.
Illonium Sinper Rifle
Another version of the rifle. It has the highest accuracy and produces almost no noise, but the power is less than the rifle’s. However, it can shoot accurately for a very large distance.
EMP Generator
Since there is a very powerful energy source it's possible to throw some of it out. This thing creates powerful discharge that affects everything electronic in the area.
Space Warp Projector
Just as it says. Warps space in front of the user, damaging everything alive and possibly some structures.
Illonium Grenade
Eridanis and humans can use illonium grenades which create an ultra-powerful flash of light, stunning every non-alliance warrior.
Armor
In this future, almost every weapon can kill any living object in one hit. So the shield technology is vital for survival in the state of war. Eridani infantry units walk in multi-functional combat suit, which protects them from hazardous environment and provides them some information about the combat. All features are controlled by Eridani’s telekinetic abilities, so this armor is useless for non - eridani. Also, eridani armor produces shield that absorbs any Alliance shot so they do not worry about the friendly fire. Humans instead are armored with heavy metal plates. They have greatly boosted strength, so they armor can’t be wearied by non-human. Their armor is the mounting point for some weapons, so they carry more than one weapon. And plants, the third race, use their heavy metallic spheres as protection.
Alliance war machinery
Ground Machinery
In ground missions, Alliance relies mostly on infantry. However, there is one mech on the service of Alliance. This machine was primary used as a space ship assault, but can be used as a ground assault unit. It’s 4-legged machine, which is piloted by a single eridani. It has the powerful weapon – illonium separated cannon, which can fire up to 8 different targets. The piloting of this machine is very difficult and can be done only by specially trained pilots.
Spaceships
Alliance starships divide into 5 categories - from smallest to largest. The smallest ships are called buggies, and are auto piloted. They contain only an engine, shield, CPU, prodium generator and standard illonium gun. But their main feature is swarming. They are programmed to attack in large groups and divide when one is down.
Next in the grade are fighters. They’re single-piloted and there are 3 versions for different race pilots. These ships are fast and have good turn probability, and while piloted manually, they’re quite hard to take down. But they too have a shield which blocks alliance shots, but no more.
The backbone of the forces, cruisers are 3-rd in the grade. They’re large and are able to shelter a 10 unit squad and 3 pilots, and still have plenty of size to put 3-4 illonium cannons, a powerful shield, and some other weaponry. But the great part of them isn’t equipped in this way. The majority of cruisers have a bunch of stabilization engines, which nerf the inertia caused by the great mass of the ship, which makes a big ship maneuver like a bird. Combined with good deal of weapons aboard, this is what makes them superior force. The pilots are mostly eridanis, and other races are supporting crew, like engineers.
The 4-th grade ships are the heaviest actual battleships called dreadnoughts. They have a deadly load of guns abroad, and have over thousand of beings abroad. They are supporting some battles with really heavy firepower, but mostly they cover borders and offer a safe retreat for forces. The crew of these ships is multiracial. Inertia stabilizers are present, but they do not give the full benefit because of the limited power resources. Shields are the main protection of the dreadnoughts, and they often have some types of them on board.
And the fifth in grade massive planetoids come. This are huge ships, their size can be compared with the size of some planets. It isn’t usually used for battles, it mostly as a strategic outpost and resupply base. There were 7 of them during the Second Dimension assault, and 2 more were produced to the discovery of the Third. They carry a strategy value and hold positions till normal outpost is set on the planet and orbit.
As always, that’s not the full information, only vital for PBF.
Race Bundles
Eridani: Enhanced Manipulation d10, Fragile d6, Duty d8 (can’t tell a lie), Immune d8(to all diseases)
Human: Tough d8, Idealist d4
Plants:Enhanced Communication d6(with other plants), Impaired Communication d8(with anything without translator), Inherit weapon d6 (space warping weapon).
All players are average veterans, what means 48 attribute points, 62 skill and 4 trait points. However, since all races cost 4 trait points, I add another 4 trait points to the limit.
