Active Plots

This is a list of roleplaying plots currently happening on the Star Army forums. Please keep it in alphabetical order based on the name of the ship, if applicable, not the prefix that comes before the name of the ship. Any plot with no activity in over 30 days should be removed and put on the List of Archived Plots.

For a list of open positions, see Characters Wanted.

188604

188604 follows Uso and her crew as they work to conquer a backwater world and turn it into a force on the galactic stage. Players work together, largely in JP format, to take over the local governments and find ways to monetize their work. For some it is just a paycheck, others have grand ambitions.

Ok, we did that, great! Turns out power armor works great against Muskets. Now the crew has a planet to run, people to provide to, and external threats to face down. Grand ambitions still need to be filled, and we do just as many JPs as we do SPs with characters tending to break off into their own stories.

Princess Kotori's uncanny victories bring about troubling questions about her true loyalties – questions Star Army Intelligence wants answered. To that end, a select few are chosen to watchfully attend her, while another group of former YSS Miharu crewmembers warily cover her back. Is success merely its own curse?

NSS Inquiry

An exploration vessel and specter_class_stealth_carrier, the NSS Inquiry is setting out from Gold Coast to the West of the star map after some signals were picked up by a listening post set hundred of light years from Planet Nepleslia. The NSS Inquiry is going forth to tackle the lack of intelligence on the signals picked up. Unfamiliar terrain will be overtaken and laid open for examination by the nepleslian_star_navy, no doubt. What is in store for the Marines aboard the ship is stuff of dreams and nightmares, alike. Lust for battle will be satiated and fears will be exterminated. Enemies and foes from the depths of the universe will be put to rest or will overtake the NSS Inquiry, all depending how the players take care to protect themselves and the Democratic Imperium of Nepleslia.

With the Free State remaining fractured and unstable, a small vagrant crew of uncanny adventurers and outcasts gathers within the hull of the silent and swift Skeleton Ensemble. It is their self-appointed task to repair the wounds of the great schism and re-establish contact with the lost colonies of the galactic north…

But what horrors will they find, once they pass the threshold into the true depths of uncharted space? Are the splintered organizations that support them truly a force for good, or are the old values of the Free State already dead and buried?

Song of Whitemeadow

It is a spiritual successor to Scythe.

A charter was granted to one of the Mikado's nephews; Lord Anise Whitemeadow was given land holdings on the new planet to found an outpost and begin to colonize the new holding with a mind for turning it into a rich resource for the expanding state. Colonists of all sorts piled upon the ASV Deluge, a converted civilian cruise liner, to stake their claims and make their way upon truly unclaimed land.

But Whitemeadow, who is still quite close to his minority, is a fledgling at best, and like the colony he and his foundling Knights and Retainers must grow to brave the unknown hills and valleys of their new home with wisdom and courage, proving themselves, in the Asterian way, “Noble by prowess, brave and true,” as the fate of a world and the success of the colony rests in the attempt.
