Welcome to Gaia! ::

Plot
The year is 2219 and mankind has taken to the stars, but they are not alone. The Androids who had once had an uprising against their Human creators have left Earth in search of a home for themselves, a technologically advanced race has a vast empire just beyond the borders of Humanity, and out in the vast expanse of space a race of vicious creatures are looking for a world rich with food and life. Currently only the Androids and Humanity know of each other, but things are about to change....

General Technology Terms
DRADIS: DRADIS is a specialized sensor designed to detect electrical and radiation readings.
Hyperdrive: Hyperdrives are how most Races traverse the stars. Think of the Galaxy as a fruit, let's say an Orange. Normal Space is the peal, and is where we exist, so to get to a destination in Normal Space you have to travel a long ways, but what a Hyperdrive does is it allows you to enter Hyperspace (the inside of the Orange) so you don't have to travel as far. This is a very generalized example, but that is basically how Hyperspace works.

Hyperdrives require a large amount of energy, so once you drop out of Hyperspace you may have to wait awhile to jump back into Hyperspace. Also, while in Hyperspace you cannot send transmissions to other ships, you cannot scan outside of your ship, and if you deploy an object out of your hangar it will be destroyed immediately but you can also not be detected by other ships while you are in Hyperspace.
Hologram: Holograms are 3D images. Eldar, Androids, and Humans all have Holographic technology that looks very real, but if you touch a Hologram your hand will go right through it. Also, the larger the Hologram the larger the power consumption.
Energy Shield: Energy Shields wrap a vessel in a thin layer of energy. That energy can take the brunt of attacks from both solid and energy weapons. Energy Shields can send stuff out but stuff cannot come in unless the Shields are deactivated (Hangars are usually equipped with their own separate shield generator to deactivate to allow fighters to return safely). Shields take a large drain on energy as well and most ships cannot jump into Hyperspace until the shields are down, and even then they may have to wait a few moments to charge the Hyperdrive.

How To Play
How to play is simple. First go over to the Characters section and read up on the various playable races. Decide what Race you want your character to be, make their profile, and then find a place to post. You can travel to anywhere you like, just simply start out on a planet/in a ship in space and then have your ship jump into Hyperspace to go to your next destination. If you wish to RP while in Hyperspace please post in whatever space you are traveling through (I.E. Eldar Space).

Time runs the same in this RP as it does here (2219=2009 and if it is winter here then it is winter in the RP).
