The Aether Crew- Shore Leave on Titania

CURRENT YEAR:[ 2099 HUMAN POPULATION [CURRENT.EST]:[ 700 BIL HUMAN POPULATION [LAST.EST]:[ 900 BIL In the Turn of the Century Humanity Has Progressed Far Since the Humble Origins on Earth, it has Progressed Too Far to the Sun. Life for Humans is Unbelievably Bleak in This Far Future. Either Risk Your Life on Independent Work, Live Underground on Earth, or Live,work and Die by a Space Faring Mega Corporation.The Galaxy is Still Unknown,Most Live in Endless Debt But The Top Percent Don’t Sit Content at Their Desks,Unknown Forces Claw Away at Their Minds. The Populations Are Dropping. Monsters Masquerade as Their Food, No Ship is Safe, Most Live Underground to Escape Falling Space Litter,if Not, They Never See Their Star From the Towering Blocks of the Hive Cities. Every man Can’t Be for Himself if He Can’t Trust Himself in the First Place. The Sol system is the Solar system set in a dystopian Space faring future.

The solar system has extended to space faring technology and humans have taken the entire solar system as there's. Most humans live in colonies on planets and moons or space stations overwhelmed with corporations upon corperations and military force. Space ships are the basic method of travel, delivery ships and scrap ships are common freelance careers. Humans are officially the only species in the solar system but there's secret aliens that hunt humans that infiltrate ships simply nicknamed imposters.

Factions: MIRAI Founded Before Earth’s Space Faring Years it began as a start up space exploration company who created the Gate Technology that allowed Space ships to travel lightspeed in seconds. Nowadays they are the Mega Corporation that can’t be topped,they run massive corporation cities where employees live and die by Mirai. Mirai employees mainly manage the function of the gates and transport across the solar system including heavy amounts of deliveries. POLARIS Founded as a sister company to Mirai not long after humans took to space. Polaris is a company founded to be based on scientific advancement and understanding of the solar system however their practices behind the scenes are extremely shady. NORMANDY The main human weapons and military equipment Company. Normandy develops Advanced space Faring technology and weapons. PLANETARY GOVERNMENTS Planetary Governments are the government forces that control the populations of planets. CELESTIAL GOVERNMENTS Celestial Governments are the government forces that control the populations of Moons and Asteroids. BOUNTY HUNTERS Since the Sol system is difficult to govern with its crime, Everyday spacefarers can get a bounty hunting license which allows them to do some old-fashioned freelance justice. There is a reward for every criminal turned in,though often bounty hunters end up racking up a bounty for themselves. Nicknamed Cowboys usually. SCRAP PIRATES Scrap Pirates can be forces of good or evil, They hunt for scrap across the Sol system to Sell it to the highest bidder however some ships Break still functioning ships and even gates.
