A miricle in its  self, mankind estimated to have been decimated to 40 percent of its  former numbers. Most dwelling in the slave cities working to maintain  equipment or harvest resources. Others however formed the resistance  reuniting mankind and moving to the stars to persue their once captors. A  feat that should never have been accomplished. However with the Pahbor  Empire loosing grasp on its outlying territories, and with the aid of  their new ally, sworn enemy of the pahbor; the rabbits Humanity has made  leaps foward to thwart their enemies on all fronts. It is the birth of the United Earth federation and the Human empire.  Lord commander Daniel has lead in the second half of the year 2075 a  expeditionary force through the Pahbor's jumpgate to establish a  foothold and prevent the pahbor from ever thretening Earth again. There  is a great deal of space to cover, but for this purpose the Sparrow  class Light-Cruiser was created. The UES Mozart has been given its  orders to subdue any threat, secure any resource, and form ties that  will benefit the United Earth Federation.The campaign takes place in the late 21st century, the team are  representatives aboard a micro-fleet of the United Earth Federation Navy  -That the current players have commandeered-. The players have a fairly  sandbox environment with their choice of how to shape the new  Federation of Earth. Will you take what you need and strike fear as the  new tyrants of the galaxy or peace keepers and diplomats. I try to bill  the Campaign as semi-realistic, but many factors border on the absurd  and lets face it two of the dominant races in the galaxy are  guineapigs(Pahbor) and rabbits so we will go with 40% real/60% cinematic  . The Campaign world does follow real science for the most part, some  super science and anomalies in real space may circumvent known laws of  science but for the most part obey them unless otherwise explained.  Combat borders on cinematic leaning toward 18th century naval combat  over modern naval combat, ie boarding combat and melee are viable assets  in the arsenal of any space vessel.Game System: Gurps 4th edGame Starting Year:2075Genre Sci-fi "Realistic"Multiple planes of existence? yesCampaign Starting Location: UES MozartTech LV 8 with select 9/10 advancesStarting point value 175(150+25'catchup points')Max Disadvantages -75Starting Wealth $20,000Exotic/Supernatural allowed?
