Some of you may know that Candy (Inara) has been working on a new RP/Sim concept. I am pleased to announce that I have approved the concept and site and that it now forms part of our 'universe'. The entire concept behind Megaera is to explore ideas and areas not explored by the TV series. To invent new things that fit into the universe created in the series rather than contradict it.
Candy, who is probably one of our most imaginative members, has invented an entirely new culture and fitted it into the BSG universe.
The concept is unique and very original. Here is a preview of the plot:
There are those that believe in 'free will' and there are others who believe in 'destiny'.
Our people forged the Twelve Colonies of Kobol, pushing back the darkness to build a future, a safe haven amongst the tractless gulfs of space. In our arrogance, we created the machines to serve us, but they tired of their chains and turned on their masters. In one night of blood and fire, the Cylons murdered millions and swore their undying hatred for humanity. The Twelve Colonies were united against them, and together they forced an Armistice and exiled the Cylons to the stars.
The Colonies thrived in peace and prosperity and the horrors of war became a distant memory.
At least, that is the fairy tale.
For us at the fringes of Colonial space, refusing to be subjected by the tyrannical laws of federation which strips humanity of freedom and self-determination, the war never ended. We fight to remain free. We fight to preserve freedom. We fight to determine our own destiny.
We are the Fringe Folk. Fringe Pirates, they call us. We rule the Outer Reaches and any who trespass there will give us our due. Or we will take it. We never let the Colonies forget us or our cause. We often raid deep into Colonial territory and fade into the darkness before anyone can stop us. Even the might of the Colonial Fleet can not dictate how we live for very stars themselves hide us from those who seek to destroy the only true freedom left in the universe.
But a new threat rises. One which could mean the end of us all.
Beyond the Armistice Line, an old hatred stirred once more. A plan, forty years in the making was being put into action. Humanity's children were coming home.
Join the crew of the ship Acheron as they fight to survive and preserve their own way of life.
