Alternate Sirius - Fletcher - 09-24-2009
Humanity, despite being a species capable of marvalous achievements, is still incapable of surpassing each others envy, greed and power struggles. The year 2201, Sol is in a state of a cold war, locked in this state since the armistice of Paris between the Allies, the Axis and the Comintern. Ever since that fateful day where D-Day suffered a massive failure, in a time long treated as the day Germany became a permanent superpower in Europe. The Soviets stayed put as the Axis and Allies came to peace, and what was left of the Allies, were Britain the exiled French and the battered USA.
The world was split into three sides, too nervous to pull the trigger for the fear of a multifront war, and the German's and American's newfound nuclear weapons, which the Soviets later stole.
The Cold was continued throughout over two hundred years, the world was engulfed in racism, economic turbulance and an arms and scientific race, ranging from cures to diseases, and eventually the race for the stars.
The race for the moon was won by the German Reichstag Nation with the Soviets and Americans close in tow with 'liberated' technology from the Germans. But it was the Americans and British space program called ABUSI (American-British United Space Industries) who first landed on Mars and later Jupiter. This left the Soviets with little to claim in the name of history, but started building large space stations in orbit of the moon and Earth. Space, was still in the hands of no name.
We now advance to 2146, the Sirius system was proven to have human inhabitable planets. This sparked an incredible race for colony ships capable of colonizing the new worlds, and the world dubbed it "The new Colonializm War". No sides openly hindered each other, but there was a considerable amount of espionague within each others country, raising massive tensions among the political tri-sphere.
Forwarding to 2201 12 April, were it a chance of fate, all three sides have produced three colony ships christened by their patron nation.
- The Rheinland
- The Reich
- The Roma
- The Lenin
- The Stalin
- The Union
- The Liberty
- The Bretonia
- The Independence
After 5 years of contact with the colony sleeper ships, unknown life was detected near Mars, is was extraterrestial life near the mining outpost of Colorado Bravo. All the local ships, military, civilian, commercial were all in awe of the majesty of this alien object, once again uniting humanity forgetting their differences, their ideals. Human curiosity and awe overpowered all these. However, these extra terrestrials were not peaceful, and fired a mass of unknown energy into Sol, the sun. The cascade reaction caused the sun to supernova, annihalating all life in Sol.
However there was one group of survivors in the Essen Space Shipyards in the shadow of Neptune which provided some shelter to the supernova. On board the small sleeper colony vessel that was recently finished, the onboard survivors realizing the danger made a start to their own long journey to Sirius, to war the colonists that Earth, and their species was in danger of these unknown and hostile aliens.
Would the survivors warn all the colonists? Would they warn the Rheichstag colonies? Is Sirius also locked in a Cold War? Or did war finally break out to settle the age old differences? Or did they come to peace?
Let the tale of Alternate Discovery, playout. By you all.
-----------------
//Ok this is an OPEN STORY where anyone can join in and plaly their part in this Alternate Sirius where the Alliance is non-existant, but there are three differing powers in play. This means new factions, new locations, you name it.
//I'll try to fill in some holes here:
The Japanese/Kusarians were wiped out during the final days of WWII as the Americans diverted too much power into D-Day and were mostly destroyed militarily, leave the Pacific in Japanese hands. The Japenese overstreteched with China occupation, were overrun by sudden Soviet invasion on the home islands, forcing the surrender of the Japense and ending their independence.
//France/Gallia was exiled at the late start of WWII and could not return to their homeland as D-Day failed, and Vichy France was absorbed into the German nation.
//The Soviets expanded into China and formed the Communist nation of China, and with the Molotov-Ribbontrop pact, absorbed Eastern Poland, but that were their only gains in Europe.
//As the space age came about, some things were altered, such as the Germans setting foot on the Moon first, and being first into space (ahistorically it was very possible)
//The locations of the new 'Houses' is yet to be written, this is up to you folks.
//This is an open RP with three different ideologies, and three equal standing start prior to actual colonization. Try not to uber one side is all I ask.
//Have fun folks and I'll try and post here my input for this story too.;)

"Property is theft! Prepare to share your goods!"
The message to the concord-class medium transport rang across the subspace radio. It was a warning to the Mammoth Engineering transport. However, the warning was met with nothing but weapons fire. 15mm plasma capsules flood the area as the autocannons on the concord open fire.
Big mistake. Electromagnetic weapon fire from a group of silver-y fighters scatter the plasma bolts in every direction and shatter the concord's shield. This is followed up by a barrage of fireburst missles that completly disable the primary engines of a concord. A distress flare is fired, but that gets shot down before activation by a nearby heavy lifter.
Johnny Red looks at the Concord, as the heavy lifter begins towing it into the Bermuda ice cloud. Those fools just don't learn. It was called the Bermuda ice cloud for a reason. And that was because The Gathering hijacks or destroys any cargo ships foolish enough to enter.
It was another load of raw materials for Mactan base. Another transport to be stripped into spare parts and sold to the junkers. Just another day amassing the cash needed to destroy the very concept of 'government'.
"The end justifies the means", Johnny muttered to himself. Soon it will be time to destroy the Independence government, and the corporations that keep it running, once and for all.

"Coming together... looking good, set the seals on the hull now and strip the wreck of everything, those stealth mines could be anywhere. Use caution"
"Roger, salvage operation being hurried on the gunboat 'The Insidious'"
It was another salvage operation in the Independence Southern Border minefields. These minefields were extremely vicsious to intruders, cloaking technology that was adapted to anti-matter mine technology.
For the protection of the Colonies of the Independent Federation. The four populated worlds of miners and stealthy fighters, never fight head on. They fight through guerilla tactics and convoy raids, to deter any large scale assaults on its fortress like defences. Never in 456 years of colonization from The Independence, has her defences been breached by another power.
"We got most of the technology and munitions from its weapon systems and missile launchers, we got some patrols coming in, looks like CoIF border runners, we better move."
Another route by the probing enemies of the CoIF, be it pirate or other political enemies.

//Dude you shouldn't play with real world, don't add real life into a game especially not LIKE THAT!
You got any idea what Hitler did!? Your RP is getting out of normal limits. That is a warning! you can get into big trouble, believe me!

' Wrote://Dude you shouldn't play with real world, don't add real life into a game especially not LIKE THAT!//It isn't 100% historical, maybe Hitler got killed, who knows in this RP.

//This RP's goal is to re-enact Sirius with three ideological superpowers colonizing Sirius, but losing contact with Earth and Sol.
//Oh and its over 450+ years since colonization, so it mayy be differing technology for all three sides too.
EDIT: For reasons that make sense, the Axis Sleeper Ship "Adolf Hitler" has been renamed "The Roma" for the Italians to colonize space too, meaning more diversity.

My idea was once to like... "Fwoosh" all of Sirius, make it look as it did in 1 AS and strat over - without infocards, presumed or real "power" of "factions".

"Stay alert Heinrich, were nearing the Stalin border, there's rumors of the Jump hole in the cloud ahead."
The Rheinland Warship "Hinder" was making it's routine patrol into the the Cologne system before it was called out into the Ruhr cloud by a Roma trader distress signal. It's crew wary of what may lie ahead. Mining operations within the fuel rich nebula had been halted without explaination nearly two months ago, and Military vessels were advised not to venture into the area.
"Ok Heinrich slow her down, what's the proximity of the vessel herr Stein?"
"We seem to be closing in on it Captain, it's approximatley 13 miles to the north, 2-DAx."
"Hmm..."
The captain paused for a moment on the exended platform of the bridge of the Hinder. He yearned to know the truth behind all the shushed rumors surrounding Cologne, but he batted these thoughts back into the corners of his mind; this wasn't the time.
"Take her in Heinrich, keep the engines masked. The old mining outpost is up ahead."
