Introduction

The year is 2299, and the end of the world has come closer than we thought. For some unknown reason our sun is begining to burn hotter, causing the Earth's temerature to rise at an alarming rate. Scientists estimate that this world we call home may be destroyed within twenty years. It is because of this that over the last 200 years we've been exploring the stars, looking for a new home. This task has been given to a new military division, NEM.

NEM stands for New Earth Military, as in the division created specifically to locate a new life sustaning planet. Through NEM new technologies have been used to create advanced spaceships and a new fighting system, the Mecha Units. Also known as simply mechs, these are towering humanoid machines, piloted by one or more men, but with an Artificial Intellegence system installed. While the human does most of the work, the AI can be called upaon to plot courses, be used an an auto pilot, and do several other things, and while each AI has the same basic programing, each is unique, with their own codenames, which go along with the mech they operate within.

Finally, a new planet has been discovered, and a colony ships has been built. This ship is so massive that is can transport roughly 500,000 people at once. This ship, along with several other NEM ships and Mecha Units, have traveled to this knew planet, named Terra Prime. The colony ship stayed long enough for the people to establish a basic colony structure, then it left on it's return trip to Earth to bring over another 500,000 passengers. Everything seemed to be going fine, the air was breathable, the water fresh, the climate better than Earths had been in a long, long time, but then the ground began to shake.

It seems that humanity is not alone, but what was the cause of these quakes? Accoding to all the sensors it wasn't a simple earthquake. Something out there on the planet, something big, seemed to have woken up, and it doesn't like the humans invading it's world. Now, it's up to the Mecha Units to go take a look and find out if this new world is such a good place to live after all.

-=-=-

Okay, so, basically, you are on this new planet, Terra Prime. You can either be a member of NEM, or just a colonist. As a member of NEM you can be, bascially, one of three things-

1- A mech pilot. This means you get your own, personalized Mecha Unit, decked out just about however you want it

2- A member of the ground force unit, GFU. As a member of GFU you get cool guns, maybe a tank or a new type of military vehicle, and a suit of battle armor. you're just as important as the mechs, but, well, smaller

3- Scientist. As a scientist of NEM you get access to the latest technologies, all the insight on the enemy, and all that other cool stuff

The enemy is a race of aliens who have developed over the years into a dual symbotic race. This means, basically, that half of them are about our size and the others are bio-organic mechs, like living mechs kinda, and the little ones get inside of them and control them. They hate us because we've come to their planet, and they want us dead. They don't speak because all their minds are connected, and while we have technology, they have psyhic abilities. This means they can create psychic shields to protect themselves, as well as a few other abilities. They don't actually use any weapons though, no guns or anything.

Speaking of technology and such, what do we have?

Well, the human race has been focusing mostly on the Mecha Units and spaceships, this means weapons have suffered a little. Mechs can be equiped with a variest of weapons, from larger versions of standard guns, like sniper rifles, pistols, machine guns, to giant swords, and so on. They can launch missles and rockets, have flame throwers, and so on. The most advanced weapons we have are lasers. Lasers are very powerful, able to burn through almost anything. The only problem with them are range and time. it takes time to charge the laser to full strength and you have to be within a mile of the target. if you were to fire a laser at less than full power it would just knock the target back and cause an explosion. And while this may seem like a good thing, over time this causes the laser cannons to brak down.

If you have any questions, just ask with a PM.

OOC Notes

# Terra Prime, 2010-07-10 06:31:36, as written by Soul_Alchemist
"Where the hell did they get to Tombs?" Romeo asked his AI partner as he moves Gravemakers head from side to side, giving him a view of the area below.

At the moment they were perched at the top of a cliff, looking down into a thinly spread forest. Their mission was to take out a couple of the ring leaders for the alien mechs. He couldn't help but feel a little stupid that they hadn't named the things yet, not really anyway. The men had various colorful names for them, but Romeo just called them the enemy. That was good enough for him.

There, to the left, in that grove. And he left his bio-mecha behind. Now's your chance for a clean kill. Tombs said, as at the same time the mechas head swiveled to the left, so that he could see the mentioned grove center moniter. Take your time with it. Remember, once their masters die the bio-mechas go crazy...

"Ain't that the truth of it." Romeo said with an annoyed sigh.

For some reason, maybe because they were mentally linked or something, if the pilot of one of those bio-mechs was killed, the mech itself went on a rampage, destroying everything around them. It didn't metter if he killed the one who killed his pilot or his own kind, something just had to die in that situation. And now, Romeo was about to cause such a mess.

Gravemaker lifted the sniper rifle into position. It was huge, even by mecha standards, but he was able to swing the long baeel into position as if it were a thing twig. Once the pilot was in the scope's sight his face was magnificed to giant proportions on Romeo's monitors. He always hated this part.

Boom.

It wasn't because he had to watch the pilots head dissapear, or the fact that he was killing something, it was the shockwave that went through his mech every time he shot a sniper rifle. Other models were made to fire such a beast, but his wasn't. The sound alone almost defened him, and the power of it rattled his teeth, even with the protective gear on. Maybe that's why it took him a moment to realize that Tombs was speaking to him in a slightly paniced voice.

...get your ass moving Romeo! Come on, what's with you?" Tombs was saying, almost yelling. I said it's coming this way, hurry up!

Romeo shook his head, then pulled the sniper scope away from Geavemakers face to confirm this before he took aim again. One more shot fired, and the bio-mech was wounded, but it kept comeing. Snother, another, one last shot and it was dead. Finally.

Standing up the clip popped out of the sniper rifle and Gravemaker puched another in place, chambering a round. when this was done he slung the sniper rifle over his shoulder into the carrier attachment and turned to head back to base camp.

"That should by the ground troops some time to move in. But it won't buy them long...hope the big man's got a plan for this place. There's way too many of those thing to put down one by one like this." Romeo says to no one.
