Even in the Light of Stars, Some Things Must Remain in the Dark

The future is often shrouded in darkness. In the year 2245 of the standard calendar, humanity was compelled to seek passage to the stars and colonial ships were sent out into the great void. Their journeys are now tales of great adventure and fortitude, legends passed down amongst the centuries. Their struggles, their toil, their sweat and blood are what built what is now humanity's place in the galaxy. They built upon the ideals of the Earth Federation and the people that came before them, and colonies developed throughout the stars. Cities came together, new civilizations flourished, and peace stretched across the galaxy. Then came the War. When all the dust had settled, when Humanity had made it known that it will not tolerate hostility from inside or out, the Empire was formed under those that pushed the ideals, limits and power of Humanity in the greater galaxy to new heights, ones which required a strong leader to reach.

The Imperial Calendar now reads 3152 IA, Imperatoris Annum, in the year of our king, our Caesar, our savior. The Empire of Earth was forged long ago and its people are safe and content. Those that have sought to harm the Empire have been defeated; those who sought to fracture it, crushed. Yet still, the ideals of man are upheld... or so it seems. Has humanity risen above itself and become the bastion of true civilization it sought to eagerly to be, or fallen into the darkest depths of the powers and temptations it sought to fight against? The future is shrouded in darkness, but the past and present are as well. And as the darkness moves to envelop all it touches, some will seek to bring forth the light. But the light is revealing. Things, horrors, monsters that the darkness hid from our view are laid bare, and not all are banished by the glow of illumination…

This RP will be based round the Earth Empire we have built up, with this I would ask you all to refer to the announcements detailing positions.

Current Year and Month: 3152 IA, December
