The aliens will share all their advanced technology with the human race if their humans agree to one condition. They help the aliens win a war. The aliens have been fighting a war for sometime and are getting desperate. They need allies and are scouring their corner of the galaxy for any alien civilisations who will help them fight in exchange for technology. Unfortunately, although extraterrestrial life is common in this universe, intelligent aliens are not. Couple this with the fact that very few are willing to join what they see as someone else's war, the aliens are getting very desperate indeed.Bad news for the aliens is that after several weeks of discussions, talks and arguments in the UN, the Security Council and most of the world governments in any position of authority decide that the risk is too great. A resolution is passed turning down the offer.However, one country decides to defy the UN resolution and accepts the offer covertly. In my campaign it'll by the British government, if it makes it any easier to swallow assume that the American's take the aliens up.The campaign will basically be a military orientated one split between military operations against The Enemy and scientific expeditions (It turns out that Earth is located on the very edge of settled space and is therefore ideally located as a jumping point for exploration). Most of the operations will be launched from a command centre located either on Mars, the asteroid belt, or planet in a nearby star system. This base will be the main training centre for the off-world military troops and a major supply and depot for the Human contribution to the war effort. All of this done covertly.I know it needs a bit of work and fleshing out but do you reckon this would work as a campaign?</blockquote>
