Backstory
Eons ago a grand star empire came into being, it’s true name lost to the sands of time. From this empire came the grand capitols that spanned across the galaxy, the capitols that became the empires of today when the nameless grand empire collapsed.
It is not truly known when the collapse began, as it was not possible to record the event using conventional systems at the time, but after almost 1000 sol cycles had passed the phenomena that had prevented both communication and adventure amongst the stars had ceased.
It took almost half as long for the citizens of the old capitol systems to notice that the conventional technologies of the time were able to work once more, the decay of civilization having being most pronounced.
Using automated educational systems and the massive auto-manufactories it was possible for a jump-start of civilization to occur, and it was not long before a grand re-exploration began. Capitols restarted, contacting their outposts throughout their local star systems, establishing which had survived and those that had not. After 250 years they began the long process of rebuilding, and eventually attempted to contact the other capitols of the old empire.
Almost 2000 years had passed as the capitols re-implemented communications between themselves, finding a wide gulf of destruction throughout the capitols surrounding sol prime. The matter was so grave that the precise situation in the location of sol prime remains unknown unto this day; some things are best left alone, lest they continue searching for the survivors.
What of the empire, the capitols that had come back into being? Some things die and can never come back, the passing of time dividing men from men. With the millennia of differences between the capitols there was no-longer a true commonality, and so it came to be that trade and commerce, war and empire building, began afresh; the galaxy became like the nations of the Earth of old.
You are part of a rebellion in one of the capitols. You are the best of the best, the most resourceful and self-reliant of your kind. From outside the shield system of another Capitol system you will be inserted, your ship buried inside of an artificial asteroid, and alongside you will be those deemed worthy. You will attempt to sow dissent, and ultimately create the insurrection that will tear down the shields surrounding the capitol system.
You are the spear point of the insurrection, the fist of visionaries dedicated to bringing about the empire once more, you are THE insurrectionist.
