Our forces are suffering severely.  However we have recieved coded transmissions from apparent  defectors from the Shadows they want safe transport and  guaranteed safety and in exchange they will provide us with  information on how they have combined their sorcery with mech's.  They have identified themselves as Sanctus, Anabstercorian and  Durgrim. They have arranged a meeting with us in space above  Planet 2445, a planet similar to Terra in appearance and close to  the edge of the space the Shadow Forces have taken control of.  Your mission is to rendevouz with these defectors, verify their  defection and either eliminate them or escort them to the Science  Craft Epsilon, which will be awaiting you 3 hours from the  rendevouz site.You will need mecha's with flight capability and you  should be aware that from observation the enemy leaders prefer  small fast maneuvrable mechas in case this turns out to be a trap.  That is all." History: It is the year 2073, in the year 2023, Earth and its expanding empire  was beset by beings out of folklore and myth, they could call down  lightning with a word and a gesture and perform many other feats,  they came in many sizes and shapes from the almost human Wizards  to the utterly inhuman Fiends and many other creatures from  folklore. However the Earth Alliance was able to use its mecha,  sophisticated genetic engineers and powerful Telepaths to repulse  the supernatural invasion which ended in 2033. During the 10 years  of the Folk War as it has become known strange changes overcame  some humans who changed and came to resemble the invaders. The  accepted theory is that that was by no means the first invasion and  that latent blood has remained in some families from the past was  awakened by some strange emanations from the Shadow Portals  that the Myths (as the Shadow Invaders become known) used to  enter the Earth Realm.  Now 40 years after the war has ended the invaders have returned  and this time they have Mechas more sophisticated than anything  seen on earth, capable of performing impossible feats. However on  its side humanity now has magic of its own for in the years between  many have devoted themselves to the study of the powers the  invaders have displayed and some have awoken in themselves the  capabilities of true magic.  And so your story begins.... OOC: The above is a rather summarised history, I can provide  more detail if anyone wants it.    Books Allowed D20 Modern (Required) (All classes are allowed) Mecha Crusade (Highly Recommended)Genetech (Franks and the expanded moreaus and PrC are  available)Urban Arcana (Everything is Allowed except races are limited to  the following: Non-Shadow Raised: Non-Shadow HumansDragonbloodedFeyblooded (Use Elf Stats)Dwarfblooded (Use Dwarf Stats)TieflingAasimarSnakeblooded More races will become available depending on mission successes) Material from other sources may or may not be allowed on a case  by case basis.   13th Level84 stat points (not including level-ups) distributed to taste (before modifications no lower than a 3 and no higher than an 18) Max HPMax Wealth at 1st.You may roll Profession and Wealth checks.Half total action points.
