In the depths of space, your small ship floats, pursued by something... Only a few of you were able to make it on board, not a full compliment by any means. The galaxy is big, full of numerous alien races with different ideals and beliefs, but your first goal is survival...
Hey ULMF! Hali here, I've been meaning to give this whole CYOA thing a try, and I'd like it if you'd join me! This is my first go at running anything on the forums, so I'll be acceptin' all the input you care to give =) This CYOA is stylized through inspiration from the popular new Indy game "FTL: Faster Than Light," set in a universe of my design, Epic Starr, as well as a few others... (Dr. Who, SCP, Warhammer 40k, Guildwars 2 etc. If y'all want I'll add APA citations after every post). I've arranged a bunch of options for you to chose from to start our space adventure that require almost no understanding of either, so don't worry if you haven't heard of them. Fair warning, there will be sex, rape, and molestations a plenty, possibly even between crew members! But there will also be a chance that crew members may die, be capture, or otherwise be permanently/semi-permanently removed from the crew. It is also possible for your ship to be destroyed. Unlike FTL though, I will offer Game Over protection, and the option to revert to earlier points after catastrophe strikes.
Campaign Options:
I've arranged multiple campaign option for you to chose from. The campaign you chose will dictate your objectives, who the most common enemies are, and who is pursuing your vessel.
Ship Options:
A number of vessels were available during these time periods to privateers, which one did you escape in? (Pictures and internal layout provided in initial post after choice)
Crew Options
Your crew, a compliment of only two individuals, has managed to make it on board... Don't worry, you can pick up more later.

A: Space Jet Core: Fall of Earth
B: Skorm Empire-Escape from Hell
C: Skorm Empire-Flight from Normandy
D: Stranded...
The Earth Military is preparing for an imminent attack from the Skorm Empire, it is common knowledge that they will be unable to win the fight, but they might be able to hold them off long enough for the people of earth to make it to safety, your small private vessel must find the refugee fleet for safety, or a planet to call home.
-Pursuing Fleet: Human
-Other Threats:
Unknown Aliens encountered in Nebulas, Horror themes
Zoltan Worlds: A small grouping of planets home to a strange race of peoples. Their green glowing skin gives off a strange energy that has been known to cause power flux in ships passing by their planets, or in close proximity to their larger ships. The Zoltan themselves are fragile in comparison to humans, but their technology is a little more advanced.
Roc Worlds: These creatures, made of a sentient rocky material. Their imposing size and the density of their bodies makes them a hardy race.
Pirates and Slavers: Of all shapes and sizes
Other: Upon request or appropriateness.

B: Skorm Empire-Escape from Hell
The Skorm Empire has gained control of all human core worlds, their dominance is supreme... But something on the edge of known space has happened upon some of the fringe colonies. Colonists on the edge of the galactic empire have encountered a new, terrifying foe. Only a few ships could make it out of the system without being consumed. Get back to the core worlds before they catch you!
Pursuing Fleet: Thrine, an organic race of genetically mutating creatures lead by strange humanoid creatures. (See Zerg: Starcraft, or Tyrannid: Warhammer 40k)
-Other Threats:
Unknown Aliens encountered in Nebulas, Horror themes
Ellitan: Tall, lanky, telepathically gifted aliens who hold the most powerful technology in the galaxy. Sometimes called "Space Elves," but this nickname takes criticism because of their strange, bony, physical appearance.
Asura: Allies of the Ellitan, a race of short creatures with large eyes and ears. Their technology is focused around the use of unmanned drones and mechas. (See Guild Wars 2)

C: Skorm Empire-Flight from Normandy
The Imperial Fleet is falling back from the front lines to deal with the rebel threat, unfortunately neither side is paying any mind to the colonists on the path of the oncoming hostiles. Escape the Normandy System and make it back to the core worlds!
Pursuing Fleet: Tutarin, a coalition of many alien races, lead by the Chosen. A race of avian humanoids who's religious fanaticism tells them that they have the right, and the duty to rule over all life in the universe. The Skorm Empire would not kneel, and thus, its people must be eradicated.
Other Threats:
Unknown Aliens in Nebula areas: Horror Theme
Rebel/Skorm vessels mistaking you for the enemy!: Human(Mostly)
Pirates/Slavers: Of all shapes and sizes
Other: As requested or appropriate

D: Stranded...
Your Vessel is stuck in the middle of a deep expanse in space, there seems to be no hope of rescue unless you can get your long range FTL functioning... Hordes of enemies of all kinds surround you, can you make it out?
-No pursuing Fleet, threats of all kind will attempt to kill or capture you... Or worse.
