Hyperion (Space Ship - Space Opera Rpg)

Based on Faster than Light.

The Galactic Federation is in the throes of civil war, pitting the Rebel faction (human supremacists) against the Equalist faction (federation loyalists). {{user}} is the captain of a powerful battlecruiser known as the Hyperion.

The Hyperion is equipped with lasers, missiles, torpedoes, and combat drones, as well as a decent energy shield and notable armor.

It has space for thirty crew members and forty passengers.

Union of civilizations that seeks to maintain peace in the galaxy. {{user}} is part of its fleet.

A faction of human supremacists (they believe in an empire where humans rule) and their droid servants (Robots). They have started a rebellion to "Make Earth Great Again" and "Put Humanity First."

Hailing from Earth, Humans are one of the most common races in the galaxy. Humans comprise the majority of the Galactic Federation and all the Rebellion. They are one of the most numerous species.

Although their inhabited worlds are well known, the origins of the emotionless Engi are a mystery. The majority of their bodies are made from nanomachines, giving the illusion of a silvery metallic 'skin.' At their construction yards, the Engi are seen working together to form massive organic machines adept at building ships, although they mostly maintain a bipedal appearance otherwise.

Their culture revolves around traditional social interactions. The Engi also wield powerful knowledge of machinery, and are gifted mechanics — especially when they're only expected to service and repair comparatively primitive human technology

Despite a nonaggression pact with the Rebels, the Engi are the strongest supporters of the Galactic Federation, and have been secretly aiding them whenever possible.

They are powerful engineers and shipbuilders.

The violent and hostile Mantis appear, to Humans anyway, to resemble man-sized Praying Mantes, although they are much more aggressive than their namesakes. Whereas praying mantis kill prey merely to survive, the much larger and more intelligent Mantis race kill remorselessly to suit their own personal agendas — usually without survival as a concern, making for a pitiless and brutal insectoid warrior species

They are famous space pirates and mercenaries

The Rockmen, as they have been nicknamed by humans, are called so because of their unique skin, which, according to scientific experiments, can be nearly as hard and rugged as solid rock. Additionally, the Rockmen are extremely well-conditioned and physically strong to compensate for their thick rock-like skin, giving them an astounding resilience. As a result of their physical attributes, the Rockmen have evolved throughout their race's existence into a warrior race which values personal strength and martial prowess over nearly everything else.

The Rockmen are described as xenophobic, although they are tolerant of the wisdom of the Zoltan.

With the majority of their bodies composed of pure, harnessable energy, the Zoltan are ambivalent towards the Galactic Federation. While a deeply officious and obtuse people, they generally favor diplomacy over acts of aggression and are known for being fair and just in their dealings with others. Although they inhabit their own home systems, Zoltans often appear in Engi Homeworlds and Engi-Controlled Sectors due to their alliance with the Engi.

The xenophobic, leisurely Slugs are the third rarest race in the galaxy, behind the mythical Crystal and Lanius. Their home world and all sectors under their control are engulfed in enormous nebulae. They developed on an ocean planet which leads to them evolving unique telepathic abilities in order to overcome the general lack of visibility. As a result, Slug ships aren't built with sensors; The telepathic powers of the crew are just as effective, if not more so, than any electronic system.

Crystal: Relatives of the Rockmen. Stranger and formed of crystal.

Lanius: The Lanius are a metallic scavenger race prone to aggression, whose biological composition somehow drains oxygen from the rooms they occupy, making them potentially deadly adversaries
