"There it is. Station XR-7. Top secret weapons research facility." The dropship pierced through the green nebula, weaving through to the massive station. The side wings trailed nebula gas behind is, and the back was illuminated by a translucent blue glow. The engines pushed the ship through, side engines occasionally firing to correct course. The bridge went silent as the commander rose to spoke.
"Six days ago all communications with XR-7. This was normal. The nebula XR-7 passes through sometimes disrupts the signal." He paused. "Two days ago, XR-7 dropped into a sub-orbital trajectory. In three months, it will collide with Pyyrhus." There was another pause. The dropship was drawing closet to the long station. "XR-7 is a decommissioned Desert class dreadnought. Five kilometers long, two kilometers in diameter. It's titanium alloy plating can resist some of the strongest weapons we can throw at it."
"Command sent us to investigate. Our objective is to find out what happened. But gentlemen, expect the worst. This facility..." he paused and looked out the window. The bridge lights had come on, and the auto-pilot into the primary hanger had engaged. The massive doors were opening, and the atmospheric shield switched on. And flickered.
"This facility dealt in illegal research. Chemical, biological, nuclear. AI research. Everything under the sun." The dropship began slowing down as it entered the massive hanger, and spun to face the exit. The team began to assemble their gear and prepared to move out as the Ganymede touched down.

You are a part of Tachyon force, an elite special operations unit operating under the Terran Union. Something happened to XR-7. This task force is very small, because why would you send an army? No, Tachyon force is elite.

Skills
Skills are critical in your success and determine proficiency. Leveling them, however, is difficult, so choose wisely! They go from 1-20. 1 being having little to no knowledge, while 20 is being an absolute god in the subject.
Rules
-This RP will be played on a variable timeframe. Everyone takes an action at the turn and I determine what happens. If someone doesn't post, I act for them (often with deadly/hilarious results).
-I am master GM.
-Outcomes of events will be determined by a dice roll. The higher it is, the better the outcome. Of course, this is also influenced by your skill in the matter. I will roll the dice.
-You must keep a character sheet that describes skills, items, etc.
