***STORY***
Galactic year X187
It has been 187 years since Last Exodus - To maintain the survival of the human race
a total of 15 "ARCs" (Armored Refuge Colonies) launched into the vast abyss in hopes of finding
livable conditions. Not all the ARCs were able to make it outside of the Sun's explosive waves, The
fleet was reduced to a total of 7. In order to maximize the potential of finding life in a new solar
system the fleet spread out to cover maximum ground.
One of the vessels, the ARC Named "The Aquarion" was exploring a remote quadrant for
any signs of life. It was there they found the planet "Nova" One that somewhat resembled Terra/Earth.
What came next was unexpected! THE MAGNETIC FIELD OF PLANET NOVA COMPLETELY
shut down the electrical system causing the ARC to crash into the planet. The Aquarion
was primarily a civilian vessel. No one or nothing truely important resided on it.
Maybe it was coincidence, or fate? But this planet was exactly what they were looking for.
The part they were not prepared for however is that on this planet the EM field opperated at
a diffrent frequency from most other places in the universe. Stranded, alone, and unable to
call their fleet for help. The Terrans were forced to turn to the straange nature of this foreign
planet for survival. A planet where depending on the angles and positions of their twin suns
$$$$ and $$$$$, the sky is set a blaze with magnificent ever changing gues of color.
Strange vegitation the size of small buildings, and monsters even larger.
THEY SOON LEARNED THEY WERE NOT ALONE ON THIS STRANGE WORLD....
The distant travelers soon encounterd the Anjero, a species whose perception, intellect made up for
their lack of height. The Anjero extended a hand in friendship to the Terrans. As the years past the Anjero
helped the Terrans adjust to life on Nova. Not to soon after the Kodian army started a crusade in an
attempt to purge Nova in the name of the Void. The Anjero were heavily out numbered, but with the help
of the Terrans, they were able to manufactuer steam powered firearms. Combining firearms,
and the Terrans high knowledge of tactical combat they made quick work of the enemy threat.
The victory however did not come without consequence. In order to fund the war effort the steam
weapons were sold to the "independent intrest". 70 years have now past since the Terrans
first arrived on Nova, and in the small amount of time there, the technology they brought has almost destroyed
the planet.
In order to protect Nova from another great catastrophy "N.I.C" (Novian. International. Counsilite) or the Counsel for
short were started to promote peace. For now things are stable, economies are recovering, and some are begining to forget, and
live in harmony. But peace never last long? Does it?
***RACES***

income. The lower classes love the planet and fight to protect it, the aristocracy
just use the planet for its resources. * Future Anjyrian civil war?
