During the mid 25th century, a vast influx of Free Mercenary Companies began appearing throughout the galaxy. The Orion Coalition -a united force of interplanetary governments- had much success in hiring these companies to their advantage against a parasitic life-form known as the Barbadoss. However, after a failed uprising against the coalition led by mercenary general Nero Antonius, mercenary companies became heavily regulated by the Galactic Justice Authority. Legislations such as the 'Inter-Galactic Free Company Restrictions Act' had been enforced throughout the Coalitions systems. This act regulated such things as the importing and sale of firearms to the Free Companies, the amount of recruitment in the Free Companies, and the advertisement and media interaction of the Free Companies. Most of the companies agreed to this drastic change in legal enforcement. However, there are those who felt deep reluctance to comply with these new laws. Mercenary general Derrick Priest is one such general bent on the toppling of this new system.

Finding his company 'Nero 7' in the outer-rim of the Andromeda Galaxy, Derrick had strong opinions on the new laws enacted. He felt such deep resentment for the Coalition that he launched several attacks on Coalition outposts. From these attacks came robbings and muggings of merchant vessels. Daniel Fredrickson -Brigadier General of the Coalition army- requested a bounty on Derrick's head. Under the authorisation of the Galactic Bounty Commission, his wish was granted. The bounty was spread throughout social-media, and several (mostly ill-equipped) bounty hunters fell in line. The majority of these bounty hunters were turned down for more favourably competent ones. Remus was one of them.

Although he feels conflicted with the new laws enacted, he deeply resents Nero 7 due to the damage they've caused to the local populace. Fredrickson would rally these bounty hunters into a room with a large holotable to discuss an assault on one of Nero 7's commandeered vessels. The vessels -according to intel- houses an assortment of power-armoured shock troopers, light-infantry, jet-packers, and an array of different mercenary troops. The mission will be particularly dangerous, with Remus having the potential to lead this ragtag team of bounty hunters.

((G'day readers. I haven't had much of a chance to RP in a Sci-Fi setting, so I thought I should create one of my own! I'm mostly looking for bounty hunters or soldiers of fortune to join Remus in his mission. Your bounty hunter is free to be powerful (mind you, Remus can alter his perception of time) but not so powerful as to make this mission effortless (no planet busters please ). They can be of any race, so long as they're humanoid. Any length of post is fine to me, so long as they're not one-liners. When it comes to dialogue, I can permit one-liners in certain instances. If you have a certain Sci-Fi faction you want to fit into this universe, you're free to do so. I'm accepting at least four other people to join this RP. This will most likely take place on the forums. If you're interested, post here! ))

I've got a former Jedi bounty hunter here. Shoot me a pm if you think he'd fit.

A Mandalorian? Hmmm... I'm not sure... I'd rather characters that aren't based off of other franchises. But, if there's a good reason as to how he could fit in, I'd love to hear it

I've got two ideas. one that is an actual idea, the other id more of a joke. But if you want to go with the joke, I'm all for it. So, one idea, is basically this: Wormholes, and the many world's theory. My character flies into a wormhole in his universe, and ends up in your character's universe. Another idea is to just slap Mandalore into this universe, and make Jedis just a small insignificant group, so small that they'd never be mentioned in the rp, other than Sarrien talking about his training.

Heh heh... The second one is actually kinda interesting. I'd reckon Sarrien would have to travel a long way from his galaxy to our's. The wormhole one does seem more plausible to me though. I mean, if Sarrien is to survive in this universe he'd have to find some work as a bounty hunter. Firearms will mostly be used in this universe but things such as laser rifles/blasters will also be available. So Sarrien would feel somewhat at home, if a bit taken aback by the smoke and bangs the guns make. You're in! That was easy wasn't it?

Sweet. So, just shoot me a pm when you want to discuss this further.

Will do! So that's one position. Three left people!

I'd like to join this, although I'm stil debating with myself what character I should use.

Awesome! Lemme know which character you're using when you're ready.

Someone else just messaged me on this so that makes three players. 1 position left!

Edit: Depending on GGFreak's response, I will still leave the position open for two other players.

I'd like to join. Not sure which form would be more appropriate though.

Future/Cosmic Form seems alright to me Draken. You haven't provided a lot of information on his abilities in that form so I'd like to know a little more about them.

I'll edit that later.

Right. Lemme know when you have.

I've updated him. That good?

Yeah mate that's fine. You're in! Alright, we just have to wait for GGFreak to make his decision.

I think I'll just go for Dyno. Would a slightly insane entertainment android with scraps of metal for weapons work?

I reckon that could work just fine. So long as he/she/it is looking for work then I see no reason as to why he won't fit. You're in! Okay, that's four players. I'll start the RP in the Sci-Fi forums. When you're ready, you may join!
