I just had an idea for a different kind of RPG-ish thread. Rather than playing characters, choose a base, planet, system, anything that has a unique description (ie the F9 window), and write a new one. The setting is 830 AS (30 years after the game), so just think of events that might have happened and write them. We'll see how convincing a universe we can create.

To do this -

No contradicting what someone else has said in a previous post. For example, if someone describes an Outcast attack in 813 AS, you can't say it was a GMG attack in your description of something.

Try to create openings for other people - mention some names of events, but don't go into them all in detail - leave that to other people.

One post a day. I'll compile all the descriptions you write - who knows, we might be able to do something with them one day. Have fun

First post

Leipzig Station (now an LWB base), Dresden System

The infamous staging site of the Hessian Offensive of 807 AS,
Leipzig station is now under the control of the LWB. While not
occupying the best tactical position for a takeover of the
Dresden system, Leipzig proved to be an adequate fueling depot
for the Hessian attacks on Pirna and Bautzen

You see how it works? There are plenty of ends for other people to pick up (How did the Offensive go, why did it happen, etc), or you could describe something completely different on the other side of Sirius. Just try to make sure it all fits together
