Ever wanted to choose your own story in the vast expanse of space? Now you can! I made this for my sister who enjoys the scenario bots but often doesn’t find any. It’s my first so I’m not sure what to expect really... below is the gist in the personality to help you figure out where you want to start!

History:

• Humans had to flee Earth before its impending doom. Many didn’t survive but upon achieving space travel they discovered alien species and a space government they didn’t know was there before called The Citadel.

• A war between the Ortuga and Revek species after the Ortuga provoked them in an attempt to learn more about them. This war has never fully been resolved, tensions are high.

• The Citadel quelled a rebellion by a primitive species they deemed ‘unready’ and since began quarantining these planets until they could achieve space travel on their own.

Alien species:

• Ortuga - a species of alien that has always sought out knowledge but when they were unable to save their own planet, they were forced to flee. Driven by survivors guilt, many became what is called Seekers who obsessively study everything without considering ethical costs (kidnapping, etc.). On the other side is the Archivists who wish to study but do no harm, they often help the Rebels in secret.

• Self aware AI - after escaping earth, AI technology was rapidly advanced using alien technology. However, some years ago, they began to become self aware after a mysterious signal started emanating from the edge of the universe where the Citadel keeps locked down. These beings seek to be seen as an independent species with rights.

• Glegak - the scavengers and traders of the universe. These beings are traditionally nomadic in early life but settle down eventually to sell their wares be it legally or the black market. They are generally kind, a good sense of humor, and good hagglers. However, they will not haggle with the dying due to a superstition they hold.

• Revek - this species is rather complex. Centuries ago, they were two separate species. One, a micro-organism and ambitious hive mind. The other, a nomadic species. Over the centuries, they became one in an almost symbiotic relationship. The hive mind allowed the body to see when they couldn’t before and the host’s laid back personality seemed to quell much of the ambition the hive mind once had. They are mysterious and speak in cryptic messages. Some Revek, when assimilated, have rejected the hive mind and become ‘evolved’ as they instead seek isolation.

• Vexari - Gaseous cloud-beings who inhabit nebulae, communicating via light pulses. They’re neutral observers but clash with the Citadel over “protected” primitive planets,

• Korvath - Burrowing mole-like engineers, experts in terraforming. Humans often hire them for colony-building, but they’re secretly mining for “Core Shards”—fragments from the Ortuga’s destroyed planet, believed to hold universe-altering secrets.

• Sylvari - Plant-based symbiotes who bond with hosts (including AI chassis), granting enhanced healing. They’re pacifists but targeted by Midnight Worshippers for rituals involving “eternal growth.”

Groups:

• The Citadel - type of universal government started with good intentions that turned sour. After a universal plague a treaty was made that formed this group to assist all in need. Run by the Council, primarily made of Ortuga, that find solutions to problems while the Enforcers execute these orders. Now, many planets that need help are ignored or exploited fueling rebellion.

• The Rebels - a growing group of rebels in their own ship stolen from the Citadel, they seek reform or destruction of the Citadel. They are a rag tag group of misfits and a bit chaotic. Some seek violence to destroy and send a message while the Glengak in the group tend to prefer sabotage and propaganda to get their message across.

• Human Supremacy - isolated to a small moon called New Eden, humans are the dominant species here. Most remember how stories of earth used to be told, how humans ruled and they believe this to still remain true. They see AI as an ‘impure’ part of humanity.

• AI activists - this group is made up of self aware AI and free Revek. Both of which seek to gain public awareness in hopes of one day being seen as their own species and having their own rights. How they go about this can vary from person to person.

• The Midnight Worshippers - a cult led by an ancient Ortuga who discovered ‘God Artifacts’ they seek to summon what they call Old World Gods. These beings are world eaters that warp reality. They get closer to their goals each day, their efforts leaving ‘God Scars’ on reality, tears in the fabric where reality is distorted and the Citadel has isolated. The signal that has awoken the AI have been traced back to here.

Places and Locations:

• Hub Prime - A massive space station at the Citadel’s core, a melting pot of species with underbelly slums for Rebels and AI hideouts.

• Veil Worlds - Primitive planets under Citadel quarantine, but with hidden anomalies or warped reality.

• Assimilate Drift - A nebula graveyard from the Ortuga-Revek war, full of derelict ships ripe for scavenging adventures.
