I'm feeling ambitious [read: bored] and thought I'd set up a game.
This will be a sci-fi world conquering thing, limited to the solar system.
The war was long, too long. They left us in shambles, probably thought we were destroyed, but humanity has that annoying habit called survival.
We don't know their names, they never told us. They came in, guns blazing, destroyed the first US. The took some of us, and forced us to work on the earth, change it for them.
We did amazing things in those years. It took nearly 50 years, but we drove Them off, got Them away from Earth. that was the first war, the first US vs Them. It wasn't pretty. They came back in force, newly minted ships against our plundered goods. Them cut through the second US like a laser through a skull. Them decimated Earth, wiped out most of US.
But Them forgot about Luna, and the US Marin Cop. The rescued so many in those years.
We haven't seen Them since, and it's a good thing too. We're fractured, spread out across Sol like so must ash. Will we be ready when Them come back?
It is the year 2179. Nearly one hundred and fifty years ago Earth was visited by an alien invader who sought to turn Earth into a resort. when that failed they destroyed Earth, scattering humanity around the system.
US, and the Us Marin Cop, are remnants of the United states. They run the Earth ash fields, and Luna colony.
however humanity has expanded beyond that. Oxygen mining unions in the asteroid belt, and Jupiter factories, cities on mars, The galaxy is rife with factions. It is up to you to define them.
Do the usual Strengths weaknesses and such. Limitations are all alien tech is in the hands of US, they have two dread-naughts (alien frigates) in orbit around Luna colony. Otherwise it is free roam. Obviously some alien tech is publicly available. The usual applies, make up your own back-story, but it can't contradict another players.
