The year 1774 a.s. The second elfish Star-empire fights a losing war against the Humork alliance. You are part of an elite voyager mission, towards the ancient ruins of a long ago colonized, but abandoned world. General Ae'vaen called it 'an exploratory mission evaluating alternative approaches to victory' and although you are loyal, good soldiers, far more disicplined and loyal than those filthy beast-bloods you've been fighting for nearly a decade now,.. all of you aboard the ship know exactly what this really is.
A desperate attempt, grasping for straws.
Colony |1|21|582717|X1 was a bit of a legend, a myth. A conspiracy-theory. Most non-military thought it was just a fairytale. An elven colony, dangerously near to the void, the space between galaxies were even your Tunneling Werther-Drives could not possibly take you, to study the nearest galaxy... only to grow silent, many hundreds of years ago, and none had been willing to finance, or risk going there again, after all back then quantun navigation had been tricky and dangerous at best.
-Or, if you believed the conspiracies, the truth about the planet and it's fate had been suppressed by the elven High Lords.
Now, there were no more High Lords, and the general's command was quite clear.
The moonstone navigation beeps. It's found something, at the very edge of the void. One lone starsystem. This could be it.
Your Werther-drive begins an automated cooldown... this is a bit early, it'll take hours to get to the system.. likely someone more cautious programmed in a safety measure.. you don't want to get thrown into the void. The Mythral-decelerators complain a little with yellow lights flashing up ..they'll need more cooling fluid soon.
Scans indicate four planets, one gas giant, two hot ones near the small, red-yellow sun. and one just in the habitable zone.. this could be it!
(Let's say you have a ship with a decently large military force upon it, 500 or so well trained and equipped elves, but for sanities sake let's focus on only a few. Please give me a small description for each of the 'leaders' in a reaction post. *nodnod* Pictures appreciated but not required.)
