I like this, it would make sense for it not to affect Skrell, as they are just as advanced, if not more so, in some areas.

I honestly don't know, it was destroyed due to nuclear war when Tool passed it off to me; dating from Apollo and Hellfire's reign. I left it pretty much as is, then it was changed to this under Table.

Earth was using the Sol Alliance to extort the colonies for resources, and force them to have reduced import taxes from earth, crippling their economies, and trade between them. That started the war, then the genocide happened due to the accidental firing of earth's KKV's, which lead to retaliation, in it's worst form.

The Fall of Earth - The Great War 2314: Several of the largest inner colonies petition the Earth-dominated Alliance government for increased autonomy and decreased trade restrictions. Earth gives only token concessions to these colonies, causing widespread unrest which many colonial authorities refuse to quell. Several colonies refuse to enforce trade restrictions, causing Earth to declare martial law in these systems and send Sol Alliance fleets to restore order. Many of these fleets mutiny and refuse to follow orders. Within a month, the Alliance military is split along Earth and Inner-Colony lines. A coalition of inner colonies form the Provisonal Government of the Alliance of Solarian Colonies (PGASC), which declares itself the legitimate government of the Sol Alliance. This event marks the beginning of the Great War. Earth pop: 14.5 billion. Total pop: 26 billion. 2315: Following an initial period of confused fighting, the Earth forces withdraw to Sol and several nearby minor star systems, threatening to unleash Kinetic Kill Vehicles (KKV's) should PGASC forces enter the Sol System. The various colonial navies rush to manufacture their own KKV's. A cold war of sorts begins. Cut off from outside trade, the Sol system's economy begins to implode. Although the majority of the war's fighting takes place in the inner systems, hostilities break out between the PGASC and many of the independent powers. With the majority of the PGASC forces focused on fighting earth, dozens of systems declare independence. Fully half of Alliance space is lost to independent powers and revolutionaries. 2316: Facing immediate collapse, the civilian governments of Earth attempt to negotiate a surrender with the Colonial forces. A number of Earth military commanders stage a coup, arresting prominent political officials and declaring martial law. Roughly a third of the Earth fleet remains loyal to the civilian government and mutinies. The occupied Alliance capital is destroyed in the resulting crossfire. In the confusion, some Earth KKVs fire at their targets. Entire Inner Colony cities and orbital installations are annihilated as a result of the KKVs, causing hundreds of millions of deaths. In retaliation, Colonial forces launch KKV's at targets throughout the Sol system, mostly on Earth. The entirety of Earth’s orbital infrastructure is destroyed due to bombardment and the resulting kessler syndrome. The new orbital debris ring is visible to the naked eye, and smoke clouds from the global firestorms obscure the planet’s surface for months. This event eventually becomes known as the Holocaust of 2316. Earth population: 5 billion. Total human population: 16.2 billion Be aware, this occured after I stepped down, I am not incredibly familiar with the new Sol.

Why does there need to be genocide like this at all? Why would a species that is trying to become a super power in known space decide to billions of its people killed? There is a term for this, and that is conflict of interest. If anything, genocide by bombing Earth's orbit, the use of KKVs to kill swaths of its /own/ population, etc. just makes Earth an incredibly edgy and grimdark planet as has been stated on the thread so far. Currently, the KKV's are fired at earth, after earth fires some accidentally during a military coup, and wipes out millions of people, and a number of cities on inner colonies.

Inis runs flat out after Alexis and Gideon, flitting through the low grass; the village grew larger as they approached it, individual structures becoming more distinct.

The only one off of the top of my head is a syndicate affilated one.

"No weapons, yet." Inis sprints towards the tree that the shadowy figure had been sheltering under, snatching up a long, thin piece of deadwood, twirling it experimentally, and then chasing after Alexis and Gideon, away from the shadow-beast.

Why would they hire someone with a criminal record for drug dealing?

Inis stares at the shadowy figure, "I... guess you should probably come to the village too... As far as I can tell, none of us know where we are, and I think you might have woken something up..."

"I know a good amount of the magic of the natural world, but sorcery is not something I ha-" Inis leapt a clear three feet in the air as an inhuman screech echoed across the plain.

"I'm probably three or four times the age of all of you." Inis said wearily as she half-turned, shielding her sharp eyes as she searched for anything of note near the group. "There! I think I can see some buildings!" She points eastwards towards some rough shapes on the plain. "There might be some people there, that can tell us where we are." Inis takes a few steps eastward, skirting around O'Connor, and glancing at him nervously.

At the end of the day, Frances, if you and Skull tell the lore team to do something, it will get done, you two, by virtue of rank, have the final say on anything in the lore. Even with Table's efforts, the lore team is disorganised, filled with arguements, and generally takes days to get anything done, because everyone believes they know what is best, and we are stubborn enough that we don't back down. If you really want the lore to start functioning properly, exercise some control over it; at the moment, Table is almost being sidelined because everyone is working on their own personal projects.

Inis shifts her gaze to the new arrival, obviously perturbed by the rapid development of events, "I don't know, I don't know, and I don't know." She backs away from the three men, into an open space. "I don't know who any of you are, I don't even kknow who I am... I can't remember anything before waking up here. Why is everyone asking me?"

I have several series of books in which earth is not destroyed; ranging from billions of people in massive archologies that shield them from worsening weather conditions, while still being the largest political and economic power around; to another (By the same author) in which it is the political hub of human space, with a cleaned atmosphere, strict environmental laws and a massive amount of mechanisation. The issue about putting earth back in, is that it being gone is central to a large amount of the lore, take out that pillar, and pretty much everything will need siginificant rewriting.

Okay, Characters: -Captain: -Medic: -Ordnance expert: -Marksman: -Close Combat Specialist: -Pilot: -High Inquisitor: -Director: -ERT/DS Commander: Any character can fill any of these slots; however, this is set in an alternate, now removed timeline, so feel free to get creative; it is set 30-40 years ahead of current time, but given that it is an alternate timeline, your characters can be taken out of cryosleep from current time, or just be from the future.

Possibly remove the actual nukes, and give them free objectives like traitors? Along with access to more items, and a warning about mass-murder/ganking/rambo.

Inis looks surprised at the question, "Cain. Right. I'm not a human, I'm a-" A scream erupts just to Inis' side and she leaps away from it, raising her arms defensively; staring in shock at the angry man that had appeared out of the grass. "- a Wood Elf." She noticed the man's suspicious glare, "I'm Inis Galondel; who are you?"

I would make Veteres from here; I think this is a very good thing to have around on Biesel.

Inis spun around at the voice behind her, her eyes wide with confusion, "I... I'm Inis, Galondel; and I have no idea where we are. I... I can only remember my name... Do I know you? Do you know who I am?"

Thanks, I will definately try and rewrite that story, it was pretty damned good.

Tishina, it is already over. It was dealt with.

Okay, I understand. I feel like a god damn sperg now, because I wrote this post out of my own rage. I am never going to antag though if it ends like this, I just really don't want to bother either killing somebody and getting punished for it OOCly, or put effort in making a good kidnapping scene, which will promptly get stopped by a band of security officers with harmbatons. I'm just never going to antag again. I am sorry for the sperg. My point still stands though: You are really toxic with your ignorant behavior, PumpkingSlice. I hope you understand that. I have had more than my fair share of rage posts; it happens, people calm down quickly, no harm done.

Right, so your pay gets cut, your boss makes a throwaway comment, and your response is to immediately go after him with a surgical drill, in the face, killing him. That is gank, regardless of what you think yourself, your logs show it to be gank. Pumpkingslice was in the right in his actions.
