Introduction
After careful testing they found the environment safe for human habitation. They only found one life form native to the planet which fed on the many forms of plant life. The creatures were skittish and difficult to catch. They seemed harmless so were left alone.
The mission leader Ten Komada announced that since the entire team was stranded, they would build a permanent settlement.
Several years later the first generation was born on โNew Homeโ also called Kolob. The children seemed quieter than normal but one day a parent found her child speaking to one of the native creatures. After careful observation they let the child keep the creature as a pet. They continued to study it as time went on.
The girl Tasha Reynolds continued to talk to the creature for years and it never left her side.
One day a teacher was frustrated that the girl was still talking to her pet at age 15. She asked why Tasha still talked to a creature that couldnโt talk back.
In surprise the girl said, โYou mean you canโt hear her?โ
After a series of tests it was proved that the creature was intelligent and could communicate telepathically. The creatures live off small amounts of spirit energy that mostly came from the planets but after binding to a human they have a mental link to that human. They discovered that the creatures can navigate trans-space. Excited about sending a team back to earth, they hurried to reconfigure their ship. After it was rebuilt they renamed it the โPhoenixโ.
Meanwhile other children also gained companions but were still too young yet for training. Tasha was trained vigorously for her journey and finally left orbit at the age of 18. She is hailed by an asteroid settlement and the people there greet her enthusiastically.
She discovered that they are frantic to escape something they call โThe Protectorateโ. Some time ago artificial intelligence was developed on earth and no one in the colonies knows if the people on earth are dead or slaves to the A.I.โs. Tasha helps them and explains about โNew Home.โ The people are fascinated by her companion โPoโ and are eager to get away from the protectorates swiftly expanding strength. Already some of the other colonies have fallen.
The โWizards and Artificers guildโ has helped the surviving colonies band together and build the โSpace Arkโ Tasha leads the ship back to โNew Home.โ Everyone just hopes that the power of the A.I.โs will not reach them on Kolob.
The colonists are welcomed but the dark news creates fear and uncertainty. The settlers decide to elect a new president and create a galaxy defense force to protect the planet.
So for this rp you have four or five choices for a character. One is a child born on Kolob, also called New Home. You would have a psychic pet and be in the "army" training to travel space.
second- is a person born on the asteroid these people are highly scientific but have also trained their minds so there are many psychics, telekinetics and such.
Third- from Earth either a human, robot, android, cyborg and such.
fourth- an alien from a distant world.
fifth- a magic user from another asteroid in Earths solar system.

Alexis frowned but accepted her orders. "Yes ma'am". She followed Tasha as they reentered the atmosphere. With the special shields she hardly felt the heat at all and since they were all back in ship form again it was an easy thing to hover into place before powering down when they landed.

Tiraninot glared at the hologram of the battle zone. "Tell, Onyx 2 to break off. Get a few fighter squadrons out there to cover it. How long until the frigates are in position?"
"Sir, both groups need three minutes to be in firing range." someone answered "Enemy is estimated to break through our left line in two minutes."
Admiral Tiraninot stared up at the glass view port where canon fire could be seen in the distance. He caught a look at movment of the ships, that many breaking out of the trap he set would reduce the fight to a slug match between ships. His fleet cluster couldn't win that kind of engagement without losing heavy numbers. "Charge the main canon and fire at central position." he ordered. "If we can't hold them all in then will only let half out."
Gearalt looked up at the admiral with another confused look. "sir, the canon is still being tested. And we still fighter squadrons in the area."
"Then tell them to move." Tiraninot said without emotion. "Center the the target area on the enemy's middle and fire when ready." Gearalt was already radioing the command to the fielded ships to watch for the blast when the rumbling started. In the core of the Ashur giant turbines began to rotate. Warnings were sent through out the flagship for the crew to brace for discharge as the increasingly loud humming echoed throughout the ship.
The 'Ashur's Breath' was an experimental anti-cruiser weapon mounted on his ship. Designed to heat up Carbon material till it became plasma and fire it like a rail gun at targets, it was a terrifying weapon. And it was about to get it's first test run.
Great amounts of heat and electricity built up rapidly as the humming became a roaring. Then a thunderous BOOM rocked the Dreadnought, sending quakes through it's body and send crew members flailing as they desperately sought something to keeping from failing to the floor.
Even Tiraninot had to shift his footing slightly to keep balance.
A blindingly bright flash of light raced out of the Ashur's gaping maw. An energized bolt of carbon plasma, several dozen meters in diameter, screamed across the distance. seventeen ton's of liquid force and heat ready to smash anything in it's way.

Meanwhile three of the other group had landed in the capital, each ship containing four elite fighters in enhanced suits that not only made them almost superhuman and bulletproof but also camouflaged. The enemy soldiers didn't even see them as they slunk out of their invisible ships and slit their throats on the way to the capital building holding the leader or dictator. He was in a meeting with some other high officials so they were in luck when they burst into the room and appeared among the startled politicians. A similar thing happened with the other teams on Pluto and Nix. As soon as they all had their prisoners under control they reported in to Yarasa and she opened the comm to Tiraninot.
"Good Admiral I suggest you surrender or all of your leaders will die. My stealth squad infiltrated all the seats of power and with our superior stealth technology it was an easy matter to take your leaders captive. If you don't want all of them to die. Surrender and be boarded while we relieve you of anything valuable. If I see enough that is too hard to transport I may just have to crown myself the new ruler of pluto, What do you all think of that crew?" She said the last with a sneer as her ships and crews laughed along with her. "I give you one hour to consider my offer but if you fire again I will consider that a no and they will immediately be killed."

Tasha strode over to Shar Kag. "You have been here nearly a week and have been a great help with Katt fixing our MEMS-CV's. We weren't able to get much of your original ship out but the pieces we have found have increased our understanding of technology. I am glad to welcome you and if you wish to leave the people here would be willing to help you build a new ship. Heck if you wanted you could take one of our one man fighters and come with us to Mars. I feel you have proved this last week that you are an honorable creature." It was rare for Tasha to be so talkative but she truly had come to like Shar Kag as much as Alexis and to trust him.
Alexis jumped in. "Oh I am sure if you came with us you would be a great asset. Even without your ship with one of our ships we could guide you through trans-space to Mars and you would be with us if or when we needed you." Alexis smiled up into his insectoid eyes like she didn't see any difference between him and any of her other friends. Tasha may trust him but his appearance still unnerved her. Alexis was a unique person.

Liz stood with Tasha and Alexis with her arms crossed. She watched as Katt pet her strange creature, and thought about the upcoming mission. She wasn't so sure about Shar-khag coming along, she was still nervous around him. If Tasha were fine with him coming, then she had no grounds to argue. She was just glad that Katt would be coming, she always felt more at ease with her friend around.

Alexis came in and started changing into her suit, hers was a saphire blue that matched her eyes. She was strangely silent as they got ready to go. She was usually such a chatterbox that it sometimes annoyed Tasha, but Tasha couldn't help feeling fond of the exuberant girl. The two were the first ones there. "I haven't gotten an answer from Shar Kag as to whether he is going or not, and if he does whether he needs a suit or not." Tasha said, trying to start a conversation and feeling awkward about it. If the alien did need a suit it wouldn't be easy to tailor one to his strange physiology.
Alexis just nodded and Tasha frowned, giving up for now. She could tell the girl felt nervous but other than that her mind seemed to be such a swirl of thoughts it was impossible to read her.

Katt came in a few minutes later, already dressed in her suit. It was of a different make then the people of Kolob wore, and was black with white border. She noted that Alexis was present, and that it was quite silent, she gave Tasha a questioning look while sitting down on a bench. Her pet was still with her, it was sitting on her right shoulder, looking at Po. Katt could swear the creature could commune to the ones on Kolob somehow, with the way it was always looking at them.

The reason for his slow progress was because he was lost in thought. It had been while he had been helping to fix Katt's ship. He had been doing maintenance on her computers system to get it to reconnect to the entry stabilization when accidentally open a log. There wasn't much in there so he was going to just close it without a thought, that is if he didn't notice the bit about the 'vanishing insects'. The creatures in the log were undoubtedly Dakerkhan. Generations ago, for some unknown reason, his people had just departed from his region of space in mass. Vanished, gone, disappeared. With no reason or explanation his kind had just faded from the known galaxy.
A small whistle came from the Shar-Khag as he sat down. Honestly he had no idea what to do. If what he read was right then even if he did get back off this planet then he had no idea where to go. Tasha had offered to let him come with them to this 'Mars' world of theres. But he wasn't sure whether he should go with them or try to find out what happen to his people.
He continued to stare at the small contraption in his claws. Hoping some answer would strike him from on high.

"Are you scared?" It asked in her mind as it nuzzled it's soft pink fur against Alexis' cheek.
Alexis nuzzled back and glanced at Jewel shaking her head slightly. "I am not really sure, I just have a feeling of foreboding."
"Foreboding? Alexis, your "feelings" are usually correct. Can you describe it any better. I need to know if we are flying into a trap." Tasha said out loud after catching Alexis' last mind speech.
"It's hard to pinpoint, I usually can get a clearer picture but the feelings are so confused. I keep getting thoughts from somewhere about protecting someone but at the same time it is mixed with the idea that everyone else must be destroyed. I don't know who it is from and who they are protecting."
"You don't think it's the protectorate? We have no idea who they are or why they are attacking people all over the sol galaxy. Let's just hope that it isn't Mars that is behind it or this will be a short trip. But the refugees hadn't been hearing from Mars and they seemed to think that the attack that destroyed their asteroid seemed to come from that direction. We will find out when we get there."

Katt glanced at Dawn as well, then turned her attention back to Tasha and Alexis. Thoughts of protection and destruction coming from the same place? She shifted, feeling uneasy, what had she gotten herself into?
Katt's pet was in the meantime, trying to talk with Po. It had pegged Po as the leader of the Kozels.
Perhaps it destroy's to protect. Much like my queen's sister. it's tail swished, and it gave Dawn another glance Stop your noise little one, I will cause none of your kind any harm. Dawn stopped, she had caught pictures of the strange creature eating things that looked like Kozels. The creature called them mice or rats. Also, if you would be so kind, stop thinking of me as a 'strange creature' my kind have a name. We are known as Cerat's on my queen's planet. it looked back to Po Though my queen has yet to 'name' me. I think we have had lovely conversations so far, so please consider me a friend. it swished it's tail again, then moved to Katt's leg. These protectorate sound quite dangerous. Does your human truly think it is them that this girl is picking thoughts up from?

"I don't understand how your navigation works. Can you navigate out of this loop yourself or was it a function of your ship?" She asked Shar Kag, she didn't know why she hadn't asked sooner but it hadn't been truly revelent until now.

โI will be hitching a ride on one of the larger transportsโฆ though Iโve been banned from the engine room after thatโฆ incident last week.โ He said sheepishly. Shar-khags habit with fiddling with technology on impulse had reared its head a few times and the tech crew had taken to chasing him out of the maintenance bay with broom sticks. He even over heard one group talking about getting a โflyswatterโ, whatever that was.

Liz started getting her mech in full operational mode as Katt entered. She was glad that her friend was coming with her, it would give her someone to talk to on the trip. She could mind speak with Tasha and Alexis, but sometimes she got tired of not using her mouth to talk.

Alexis just nodded and once everyone was set up, it wasn't long before they were in their mechs and lifting off the planet's surface. Once in space they could see the large hulking form of the freighter transport ship. Alexis was quick to surround the ship like Tasha had told her to and as soon as they were all in position and shar Kag was on board and settled in, they jumped into trans-space. It was very different than hyperspace, instead of being like a tunnel where you could see the stars go by, with trans space, it was like space itself folded over leaving the sky looking strange and almost starless and giving most people a strange disorienting feeling and sometimes nasea. In the blink of an eye they were in the Sol system and once there, they switched to Hyper drive with an mind speech order from Tasha. It wasn't long before they could see the red planet in the distance.

[edit] trying to work in the Pluto dictator, he'll come up a few times with Tiraninot later. I was thinking of making him a younger political leader, maybe a bit more flamboyant in personality. And I might get around to giving details about the other four admirals of Pluto later.

Re: [OOC] Space Odessey
Another had I had kicking around was for Jupiter.
Jupiter would be a religious state, similar in design to the Vatican. It would be the head of some new 'space religion' centered around the 'souls of the planets' that we might base of roman mythology (or like a rebirth of it). Jupiter would have it's own standing army, but it would be more of a protective measure.
To make it more interesting we might make this place the center of the new united nations.
Re: [OOC] Space Odessey
So for Mars I was thinking that it would be a democratic republic with a council of senators as the height of the gov and a few officers elected into their offices by said council. Mars would probably have a larger emphasis on its ground troops then most other planets, due to the fact that it's atmosphere would be more stable then most other planets. Since Mars would have been the easist planet to settle it might have more planet side cities then other worlds, making it more of an urban world. Also it would have access to better farming ground with it's ecosystem (Other worlds would grow there food artificially in designated produce stations.) That would make Mars major export food, because it is the largest producer of natural foods (Ever since earth went dark at least). With all the advantages of being the most earth-like planet in the system It would stand that Mars would also have considerable militaristic, economic, and political power.

so yeah, missed place posting (Why do we have two if we aren't going back to kolob anytime soon?) I think that maybe I can get around that by copying my post and ash's and putting them with my response we can work around that.
