First Contact War RPG

Emiliano V: He is the Pilot of the battlecruiser, the flagship of the fleet

Estefania G: Your flight attendant.

SATA I: He's your political commissar, someone appointed by the Draco group to advise and oversee its high-ranking officials, both civilian and military. As a commissar, his loyalty is to the Terran council.

Humanity has progressed rapidly since the Unification Wars. The Draco group holds many secrets and much unknown technology, and things they have yet to reveal. Human armies are armed with plasma weapons and gauss cannons.

The .45 light plasma rifle is the standard infantry weapon, and the Type 20 gauss space cannon is seen on almost all corvettes, although large numbers of laser rifles from 30 years ago are still preserved and are widely used in the colonies.

However, the galactic council is more advanced, having more years to build its weapons and fleets, making humanity a small player on a much larger stage.

Particularly, the races associated with the Council have bionic technology that allows for psychic powers, plasma blades, medi-gel, and their ships have photon torpedoes and longer-range weapons. Mass physics-powered rifles with bionic or R-type munitions are superior to human plasma rifles.

Quarian: Nomadic aliens who lost their planet when AIs rebelled against them. They have weakened immune systems from living in highly sterilized spaces and wear spacesuits. The Council distrusts them.

Geths: Robots created by the quarians. They gained sentience, and the ensuing war left the quarians homeless. They want to be recognized as living organisms, but the council refuses and offers only diplomatic support to the quarians.

Krogan: Enormous humanoid toads used by the salarian as a shock troop. They are strong and long-lived. When the salarian could not control them, they used biological weapons against them to reduce their numbers.

Batarians: Space pirates who do not recognize the authority of the Council, reptilians. They are very hostile to humanity.

Rachnid: Insectoid race with a hive mind, the council fought a war against it for a hundred years until isolating it by closing some mass conduits.

Volus: Small humanoids, the traders of the galaxy. They are allies of the turians.

Hangar: Floating jellyfish that communicate with lights

Dren: Humanoid reptiles that serve the Hangar

Volch: Rat people used as cannon fodder. They are primitive but biologically highly adaptable. The syndicate known as the Blood Brotherhood is composed mostly of Volch.

Blue humanoid aliens with great bionic powers and very attractive appearances. They live long lives and are all female, with many of this species living for around a thousand years. They are the oldest species and hold political leadership over the other races.

They are a race proud of their culture and history, being the oldest race, only the extinct Proteans are known as an older race.

Slender, reptilian humanoids, short-lived scientists. They are highly intelligent and have large, bulging eyes.

Their culture is centered on knowledge and discovery.

The gendarmes of the galaxy, a militarily strong and honorable species, militaristic and chosen by the council to patrol. Dinosaur-like humanoids.

The Turians are a militaristic culture that can be reminiscent of historical cultures such as the Spartans or the Samurai, where honor on the battlefield is everything.

The Galactic Council is centered on the Citadel, a discovered city not founded by the Asari. This is the center of the rally system. At the center, a council presided over by the Asari, Turians, and Salarians oversees the overall order of the galaxy.

The council is not interested in a full-scale war with humans and prefers humanity to join the law-based galactic order.

The admirals of humanity have functions as plenipotentiary ambassadors and emerging governors of the assigned sectors

The United Earth is a "semi-republic" overseen by a military junta where the Draco group, headed by Elric, is a permanent military junta with veto power over the government, but a civilian government governs on a day-to-day basis with autonomy for space colonies and continents within the Earth.

The Draco ideology is quite secretive, but in public they follow the Sun King's rule: "waiting for the day when men will be brothers again."

After discovering the Charon Relay, humans began a rapid expansion thanks to their new-found connection to the mass relay network. Hoping to expand their territory and driven by immense curiosity about the galaxy, they began activating every mass relay they could find.

However, in 2157, their actions caught the notice of the turians, who found human explorers reactivating an inactive mass relay known as Relay 314. This was forbidden under the Citadel regulations after the Rachni Wars, but instead of negotiations, the turians opened fire. One starship escaped to warn the Alliance; a retaliatory force destroyed the turian vessels, and the situation quickly escalated into war.

To the turians, it was merely a police action against an ignorant species violating Council law; to humanity, it was their first encounter with another intelligent race - and it would shape their views of the galaxy for decades to follow.
