ROLEPLAY WILL NOT OCCUR ON THIS FORUM. IT WILL OCCUR ON THE KERBAL EVOLUTIONS FORUM, BUT YOU MAY ANNOUNCE YOUR INTENT TO JOIN THE UNIVERSE ON THIS THREAD.

Link to the Kerbal Evolution forum [Forum is being expanded and refined as of now. Rules will come online in a day]: http://kerbalevolution.lefora.com/

Updates to this post will be constant.

Backstory of the Universe:

The year is 52 BCH. Kerbal Kind is at a turning point: massive advancements in machine learning, neurological processors are now commonplace, and AI's control the Kerbal-like robots that perform the dangerous tasks and military duties that biological Kerbals once performed.

And all is not as it seems.

Kerbin is known to not be the birthplace of Kerbal kind, but a colony that was colonized under the articles of colonization signed by all major planets within the Kerbal solar system. Ever since the advent of kethane fuel, kerbals waged interstellar war and conducted interplanetary trade, paving the way for the modern Colonial Navy.

Modern Kerbals utilize FTL jump drives and Kethane based engines for interstellar reach, allowing trade, and war, to be conducted on an unprecedented scale.

With the new flagship, Battlestar Kalactica, on the drawing board, the new generation of warships are planned to be larger and stronger in order to meet the increasingly hostile interstellar environment.

Kerbal kind has also just started mass production of Cylons capable of limited independent action, darastically increasing economic efficiency.

In darker corners of the solar system, the Turians and the Flood await...

The Rest of the Universe

BSG isn't the only influence in this universe. (although it'll be the basis of the main backstory)

We'll allow more universes to join in, including but not limited to: Halo, Mass Effect, Legend of Korra (You figure that one out), Buck Rogers, and Firefly.

You create your path, and you decide how to follow the main story of the forum. There can be independent factions, corporations (Weyland Yutani, for example), heroes (master chief, commander shepard, avatar Korra, etc. ), planetary governments, gangs, etc. As long as you can figure out how to integrate it into the story and universe (the main back story), it'll only serve to make the universe more diverse.

Join in and have some fun. :)

Governing Body of Kerbin:

Kerbin is controlled by the Quorum of Eight: A governing body made up of one representative from Kerbin and one representative from the seven other major planets within the Kerbal System. More members may be added as more planetary bodies are colonized.

MODS USED:

1. Near future

RULES (WIP):

1. At least five players must agree to work together in order to form a civilization.

2. Any civilization that is inactive for more than four days will be labeled as consumed by the flood.

Ideas for groups/organizations:

1. Civilizations

2. Space Travelers (ie BSG)

3. ExoColonies

4. Space Pirates (with a warning of obeying the rules or being banned)

5. etc. (You get the idea. Make it fit into the universe, and you're good to go.)

NOTE: The RP will not happen on the KSP forums. It is on a separate forum.

I like this idea...

Did Kerbals accidentally create toasters, when they were trying to automate the snacks dispenser?

While designing the Zero-G toaster, the Kerbals on Duna accidentally came up with a useful automaton.

It looked something like...

That sword was originally for buttering the toast. So are they Kylons?

Kylons is a nickname assigned to them by Colonial Sailors. Another nickname is Skin Job for the more advanced models.

Strangely, it seems the advanced Kylons and Skin Jobs are congregating in secluded locations. It is rumored that they are creating the beginnings of a monotheistic religion, but the corporation manufacturing the Kylons has dismissed these claims as unproven speculation designed to hurt their business.

So how does this work man? We're just piecing together a universe?

I'm going to throw in.

The Fall of the Twelve Colonies of Kerbol. (also known as The Fall, the Kylon attack, Kylon holocaust or Second Kylon War) is a devastating, genocidal attack by the Kylons, designed by John Kavil to provide the Kerbol race with snacks, and seek revenge on the 'Big 3' for creating the Kerbaloid Kylons in their image.

The events leading up to the attacks go back at least a few years, when the Kylons (Now in Skin-job form) begin infiltrating Kolonial society. One such Kylon, a Number V, is involved with Dr. Bob Kerbin, a famed computer scientist living on Kerbin. Together, they develop new parts for the Kolonial Fleet, which gives Number V access to the Kolonial Snacks Mainframe. There she is able to covertly install backdoors into the new software which the Kylons will later use to shut down Kolonial Breakfast.

The fall of Kerbin is scheduled to happen soon. The first part of the story is the rise of the Twelve (currently eight) colonies, after which we can initiate the genocide and exodus stage.

52 BCH is near the starting date of the first Kylon War. What happens in between the first and second war (which will lead to the exodus of Kerbal Kind) will be quite interesting, and up to the people who join the story.

Also, you should invite your friends to this universe. The forum for Kerbal Evolutions will be set up by tomorrow.

The people who play will shape the story of the Universe.

Ah ok.. But that's kind of the gist of what you're trying to do? Cool.

I thought it had already started, but I guess when the actual forum starts it will be more clear how this works.

alwso this is the future of kerbal hsitroy remasterd

You can consider it as a sucessor.

However, all roleplaying and events will happen on the new forum that is being set up. I'll have the link for the new forum posted on the first post by tomorrow.

You should announce your intention to join the game on this thread. However, all roleplay will occur on the Kerbal Evolution forum itself.

Ive never played an RPG before so by combining universes, you meen implementing replicas of things in the universes into the kerbal evolution universe? or have i got it wrong. Clearer explaination pls? Cheers.

Basically, that's what you can do if you want. Otherwise, you can create your own faction and story and play the game.

It's how you decide to play the game and add to the story. As long as we don't deem your organization as OP, trollish, etc. we will leave you to add to the story.

You do need to establish some type of presence int the story through a company, hero, organization, civilization, etc.

Also, you must be a part of a civilization, even if you're a company (it's optional for pirates, mercenaries, and other such individuals and organizations). The default civilization is Kerbin, and it can exist without any players. However, any other civilization must be formed by five coordinating players, and it can be named anything the players wish, but the civilization will claim one celestial body as their own. Factions are a part of a civilization.

Whoever violates the rules of conduct and decides to start acting out of control (hurtful to other players, OP to the extreme, etc.) Will have to face a Reaper Harvest on their entire civilization. (The other members of your civilization will not be flattered. They may vote to sacrifice you to the reapers in order to stave off the harvest, and the civilization decides how to conduct the vote, with the results being delivered to the Quorum for verification.)

However, you can avoid a harvest by making enough allies with enough presence and available resources to construct a crucible, which will require two civilizations working together with the harvest targeted troll civilization.

Of course, making friends when the forum hates you for trolling and flaming can be a challenge.

If you are harvested, you will add to the ranks of the reclusive and well hidden reaper fleet. (AKA the hand of god.)

Take every Sci-fi fandom and much them together. That's what I take of it.

It's not a mash up (at least not officially). The forum lets the members do whatever they want, even create their own civilization and backstory.

Wait, you never said I could join the reapers and just wreck sith belonging to trolls. Can I do that?

You can be a reaper if you want. When there aren't any trolls to harvest, you are in charge of abducting random kerbals for experimentation and staying hidden.

AKA...

So, hop over to the forum. I'm going to form the reaper unit, and you'll probably be the sole member of it.

Label yourself Harbinger. Your are the right hand of god, in charge of keeping the cycle of peace in our fragile universe.

Make a reaper civilization. (AKA, create the reaper topic under the civilization subforum.)

We may allow the reaper civilization to grow. It depends on how the universe develops.

More players means more epic harvests and more reapers.

Could I have my own moon operation dedicated to mining Kethane and then sending it back to earth, then trucking it to the space center where people can use it to fuel their crafts?

If you look under the civilizations and organizations subforum on the forums, you should see a corporation subforum. Unless you're solely intending to do business on Kerbin, in which case I would recommend that you make a company in the civilizations subforum with a declaration that you are based on Kerbin, you should create a corporation to enable you to conduct business on and with multiple planets and civilizations.

Looking at the long term roadmap of the forums, I want to integrate a stock market, but that'll depend on many factors.

Here's some things I might be looking for in the future:

1. Experienced programmers.

2. Applied Mathematics Majors

3. Economists (even free time hobbyist investors)

4. People willing to do internal test drives of software

5. Experienced GUI and mobile app designers.

I want to create a forum wide stock market that updates data in live time with real time trading, market caps, bonds, equity funds, hedge funds, and the capability to be exploited by enterprising criminals along with a loan and interest system. A central bank of Kerbin could help manage interest rates and to give value to an official currency, and trading could occur at real time with graphical data representations of the kerbal stock market.

Heck, a whole entire economic subforum that works with real time data. Just a long term vision for now.

A real time spreadsheet of an economy? Oooh! Maybe something like gas, You would have to pay for Kethane, Or some sort of order system. If I'm understanding this concept correctly....
