The year is 4237 and in the wake of a brutal three and a half year war across the stars, once again only empires remain standing; decadent and prideful atop the ruins of their enemies or crumbling and recoiling from the creeping spectre of obsolence. A fitting title for what is known as the Reckoning Of Empires. A vast expanse of worlds shattered, forged, and arisen from the aftermath of their brutality serves as a testament to the very cost of their existence. A cost offloaded onto their subjects and those who struggle amidst a new paradigm of interstellar power.
Gouged husks of former glory and burgeoning wealth of captured territories that span across systems define this age of ambiguity. Yet the course of empire creates the mechanisms for its destruction and the cost to be paid is steep and bloody.
From the wreckage of fallen worlds cast off of or revolted against prior masters, the Intranszjednota or simply the Intransigence has arisen as a revolutionary power uniting disparate worlds across the post-imperial spaces. A hegemon forged from the growing contradiction of imperial might, its roots lay in the years leading up to the Reckoning yet as its enemies slaughtered one another, it grew in power and now stands as a formidable entity on the inter-solar stage.
Amidst the wreckage of fallen worlds and teshattered dreams, you have been summoned to serve as their hidden knife against unsuspecting throats. Among your number insurgents, guerillas, rogue militants, pirates, mercenaries, even the defectors of empires - an unsightly morass of the dishonorable, scattered to the wind by the tides of upheaval and war. Now collected in the hand of the Intransigence, they form a network of hit-squads and deniable operation forces, answering through a fragmented network of communicators to the hidden powers of revolutionary leadership.
As the technocratic Black City Conglomerate, the corporate-expansionist Unified Celestial League, and the aging Yrrkradian Empire begin to heat up their power games, the Intransigence is caught amidst their scheming powers. Yet they are not aware of the envenomed blade grasped in its hands, of which you are nowthe spearhead and now plunging head first into their hearts.
In a line of work fraught with conspiracy, subterfuge, betrayal, and shifting tides of allegiance,
you are the living embodiment of a hidden war.
There is a lot of lore though it is being condense to fit in its own thread. If there is enough interest, then I will allow for members to contribute to it.
This is going to be a very violent roleplay that touches on messy Cold War/World War I style politics and themes of of colonialism, imperialism, revolution, atrocities, and even elements of the arcane and eldritch.
Yes, there is a "magical" element in a sense, similar to Warhammer 40000 and Mass Effect though it is understood frequently through a more scientific or even occult lens.
More importantly, this RP will feature quite a bit of graphic death and injury on top of grotesque mutations, intrusive biotechnology, flesh-meets-metal cybernetics, and so on. This is your only warning on the subject.
I am aiming for characters who have had either in the Reckening Of Empires or the various civil wars, insurgencies, or proxy conflicts that emerged since. Experience in both is also fine. The war lasted from 4229 to 4233, with various smaller conflicts happening in the four years since.
It is not required your characters necessarily have a military background but I will ask that your character have a number of "secrets" or unpleasant, illicit, atrocious, or otherwise very "inconvenient" parts of their history that could be considered compromising material. Maybe they want to redeem themselves, maybe they're in it for hatred of the enemy, maybe they're genuine believers in the cause, or maybe they don't have a choice.
After the first mission, you will be given a private vessel with its own crew and have the liberty of choosing your own missions. There is a central over-arching plotline and you will be able to wildly change the course of both the story and in-setting history based on your actions.
This roleplay will demand fairly literate, complex writing both from myself and from you. There will be a good deal of detail and I advise anyone joining to be both very careful around said details whether to be wary of or to exploit in-character.
I am aiming for one to two posts per week though I can make exceptions and allow for turn-skips, even joint posts, if circumstances demand it.
You can join our discord to inquire more.
