CONTINGENCY
Because noone see's it coming
The year is 2350, the place is Titan, largest of Saturns moons and Center of the Sol System when it comes to Crime, Corruption and anything else the universe would rather just sweep under the rug.
Gambling controls the economy and nothing draws in a big bet like the Bounty hunts. The big bosses regularly putting prices on the heads of people foolish enough to cross them and the general public bet on how quickly they will be caught and by which hunter, some of which are so notorious they are considered Celebrities.
So lucrative are these Hunt bets that fugitives themselves have been known to bet heavily and then arrange to make sure they win, hoping the Boss putting up the bounty can be bought off with the winnings.
This all changed a few weeks ago however. A number of distress signals were received by Titans main communications center, mostly from Ships of the United Coalition, the ruling government of almost all of the Colonised worlds. Each 'investigation' by the Looters turning up the same result. The ships themselves were battered and torn. Huge gashes in theyre bulkheads while what could only be assumed to be the crew were left as red stains across the walls.
A Call to arms was called by the UC, talk of a war was growing though who the enemy was remained a mystery. For the most part Titan ignored the warnings, and they paid for ignorance with blood. The Horde, as they have been dubbed, decended upon Titan, Large spacefaring creatures covered with Horns, Scythes and a primal ferocity that left mercy for none. Titan would not fall without a fight however, before its fall into decadence it had been a UC military base and still had a few toys left. Those that knew how to use them would have to work together if they expected to escape.
Hmm....wish i could write longer plots...need to start felshing them out lol.
Ok then its about time we Had some Sci-Fi here, and we'll even throw in some Mecha!
The basis of this is the final defence and eventual fall of Titan and what happens to the Survivors afterwards. Everyone will be either Bounty Hunter, PDF (Planetary Defence Force), or Civilian (with a beleiveable story as to why theyd be in a defencive area during the attack). Though remember Titan wasnt a 'nice' place and its a kill or be killed situation (and i dont mean with the Horde)
This is mostly an Action rpg so expect lots of battles and multiple formats will be covered Such as personal small arms, Mecha and space battles though not everyone has to be a fighter. Plenty of Space for Pilots, mechanics etc.
Ill leave details breif as its meant to be a surprise attack and knowing too much might ruin it ;) though i will say if you need a basis for the enemy, think Starship Troopers but ugly.
