Introduction
There are three factions you can join...The Navy, The Pirates or the Androids.
1. The Pirates
The Pirates are Sci-Fi Swashbucklers. Armed with energy swords, laser pistols, and quite a few nasty tricks, they seek to earn riches by blowing up and/or boarding other ships, collecting cargo and/or slaves, and then leaving the wreck to rot. They are directly opposed to the Navy, wishing to obliterate them as soon as possible.
The Pirates have no respect for society. They're ships are designed for destruction. They mostly look like the do on this picture:
What you don't see is the 100 laser cannons, 10 torpedo launchers, and the deadly Class-X Pirates Poison EMP blaster that will be revealed from flaps as soon as the computer is alerted to go into battle. They are built with a Dual-Reactor Hyperspace drive, making them fast.
The pirates are led(currently) by No-Mouth Kraken, a man known for having a breath mask permanently built into him after severed lung and lower face damage after he lost his first ship, the Marauder. He now pilots the Hell's Fury, a ship that even comes with sensor jammers and stealth technology. His voice is that of a ghost. A scar cuts across his face. He is strong, though. He is clad in traditional pirate attire, souped up to fit the era.
There are many tales of battles that were never finished. The pirates code has been abandoned, now the more deadly you are, the more in command you are.
Choose this if you want to be a Criminal, a Man/Woman on the run, or you simply want to blow stuff up.
Their symbol is this:
2. The Navy
A rather more lawful side of things. This is the Space Navy. A large army who wish to destroy Chaos and promote Order, which is the complete opposite to what the pirates want. What the navy ends up doing a lot is, well, patrolling the Milky Way trying to blow up pirates! However, they are evaded a lot of the time.
Their ships are constructed more for necessities sake, rather than the stylish design of the Pirates. However, the Navy has better armour, more reliable construction, and an array of Ion cannons. Their ships look like this:
Their armament is more obvious. Piles of Ion cannons. Starfighters attached, while the Pirates only have dirty mines to drop. These starfighters come with turbolasers, which the Ship itself has plenty of. An omnidirectional torpedo launcher can hit anything. It even comes with enhanced sensors, and high-speed rocket power. A new system allows them to detach a part of their ship to be taken off, and it will explode within 5 seconds.
Their Leader is Captain Orion. He comes with all the qualities of the aristocrat, but with all the combat experience of the general. He even wears the white wig! He wears the traditional blue suit of aristocrats, and is proud of it. It includes jet boots! He wears his energy sword faithfully by his side, his captains hat proudly on his head.
In this faction, the Code Of Honour is important, and every battle is finished to the end. Rank is determined by skill and experience.
Pick this faction if you wish to be the good guys, fight in a large, powerful ship, and be awesome.
Their symbol is this:
3. Androids
The 3rd Faction is the Androids. They are neutral, but also extremely destructive. You cannot play as one of these. However, you could play as an android that has gone into piracy or the navy.
Their ships resemble Borg cubes, but in the shape of a d20. They are covered in turbolaser turrets, which have all the force of a torpedo in each blast. Androids come in all shapes and sizes, and work for the highest bidder. They also run a lot of salvage ships, rebuilding spare parts into more androids.
They have no flag.

Swashbuckling Sci-Fi

Re: Swashbuckling Sci-Fi
Seriously, though, as far as I can tell, the RP's just about pirates and the Space Navy beating each other up. Is there some sort of direction for this? Will it go somewhere apart from both sides just being reduced to nothing while no one cares?

Re: Swashbuckling Sci-Fi
Boom!
However, i cannot seem to get to my roleplays section. Says its an invalid form of compression.
Re: Swashbuckling Sci-Fi
Just one question: would there be any neutral-ish factions, like maybe ex-pirates that decided to join the Galactic Navy?
