ACH, Earth exists, it's just not the birthplace of humanity.

Iv, the Strigiforme used humans as slave labour until a bunch "escaped" and went from there.

The rebellions occurred (for the sake of fairness), around 2270, and the rebels trained slaves as soldiers and the like, giving them a fighting force.

AFAIK the current year for the RP is 2752, so the rebellions happened 500ish years previous. Plenty of time for a nation to fracture and others to show up.
Make no sense, if humans got free 500 years ago then why the fuck are we in the year 2700? Why not just say the yttrium gate had a warp fart spontaneously killing all stigiform onboard and making all the humans dumb cavemen and ejecting the humans and the ship like 200k years ago on earth? More reasonable and less likely to conflict with anything currently.

This could work. Maybe we wouldn't even have to change anything.
Though I guess my backstory could need some rewriting..

If we're resetting and reforming completely then I might participate, but I only have time to skim the past few pages, and what's been discussed so far is dumb. Really, really dumb.

since my timeline involves Mobius teleported into this universe from another one at some point in the distant past (several millenia ago, during the age of the networkers) and having fairly recently achieved FTL-flight, I could propably insert my lore into 9/10 possible timelines, so go ahead.

I might have overheard this.
Okay, I will simply rename stuff then, doesn't necessarily change the timeline.

Right, because we're getting "my timeline makes for sense than yours"ed to death, everyone can write their faction backstory from, say, 2150 onwards. Current year is 2752, given that I've heard nobody challenge that (yet).

2150 and previous is reserved for the collaborative effort, figuring out where all the races came from.

Fair?

And cats, if it's dumb, come up with something better and let the rest critique it.

^ Agreed.

I see where you're coming from cats; I know from experience it's easy to belittle something you attempted only to have it adopted by others later on, but please post an alternative if you're so inclined. Next to Fenway you're probably the most chirographically inclined here.

Poll sez we're resetting. So post yer faction backstories - 2100 onwards - here or in its own thread.

I might start some sort of loose temporary RP until fen, cats, or someone can come up with rules.

As according to me

-2100- Strigiforme losing territories to poor management and civil uprisings. Famine sweeps outer systems, along with several plagues, the cures for which are not given to rebel systems. Strigiforme Empire shrunk from 1/2 the galaxy to 1/3.

-2252- First contact with humans from Earth. Their use as slaves had fallen to the wayside, and very few remained in the Strigiforme Empire.

-2285- Small wars erupt between humans and the Strigiforme. Most are overwhelming Strigiforme victories, as most factions are disunited.

-2302- Large war between Strigiforme and Alliance of Lyes. Many independent systems fight. Pyyric Strigiforme victory, driven back from several systems at great cost to both sides.

2308- Second War, Strigiforme lose several more systems. Both sides depleted of ships. Carth Accords draw most modern Strigiforme borders. Strigiforme retain almost all remaining territory, a fair 1/10th of the galaxy.


These dates are in flux, but those are the basics for me.
