The spin

In 2015 the planet surface change forever as the eco system collapsed and began to break down and the earth became inhabitable, the only place left was the stars. Since the public announcement 1984 at the EU summit that the Earths climate was changing at an alarming rate, large corporations around the world pulled together with their governments support to pool their time and resources into a secret project called the ‘Ghia Terra’ project. Could other planets in our solar system sustain human life long enough for our own planet to repair itself? Now was the time to put it to the test.

Within the first few months of the collapse millions of people perished in great waves and winds, fires and earthquakes. Cities where shattered and continents were lost below the oceans. During the build up to 2015 only 200 space worthy vessels were completed and out of them only 60 were designed for population. By the end of the 14 August 2015 a mere 12 Colonies of 700,000 people were saved from the planets surface. One of these colonies was made up from the old United States US known now as the ‘United Colonial Federation’ UCF’.

After the total annihilation of sentient life on earth the colonies where scattered to the stars. The UCF remained in orbit around the earth with thoughts that one day they could return to her surface once the weather system had stabilised. Out of the 700,000 people that survived, the UCF numbered 320,000 and was the largest of the colonial fleets, numbering 24 population ships and 33 other vessels.

Time past and government was restored to the UCF colony. Though behind the president’s office sat the heads of the 9 corporate institutes that funded that UCF at the start. For 7 years the colony prospered in orbit and a Luna station was set up on the moon. On the 04 July 2022 the clouded atmosphere of the earth began to clear and the true devastation could now be witnessed. It was decided that an expeditionary force should be sent down to take sample and see what state the planet was in. The results showed that there were small pockets of inhabitable land and that a lot of the eco system was still in place. The president announced that by 2030 small colonies of the UCF would be able colonise these areas and the return to earth was announced.

It was now that a splinter group of the corporate governors of ‘Ghia Terra’ known as ‘Europa corp.’ made a play for control of the inhabitable areas and began to descend their Colonial Marines to the earth surface. In response to this, the president enounced Europa corp. as a renegade faction to the cause and dispatched UCF colonial marines to intercept and destroy this rogue element.

And so by the eve of the great evacuation 13 August 2022 the Colonial Wars began.

As part of the event every participant will be given a shirt to wear to help put his or her kit together.

UCF will wear a US tricolour top and US tricolour OR black trousers.

Europa corp will ware a US woodland top and US woodland OR Olive trousers.

Both sides will receive AI300 badges and slides depending on which side there on and the event will feature a full command structure lead by in game marshals. We have chosen to run a large sci-fi game as its never been done before and we think we can hit it on the head, but to keep it so all can take part and enjoy its look and feel we have kept weapons technology, the look and strategy to a modern day theatre.

GMA can rent all the gear to play if you have nothing!

The will also be Merc groups for hire more details to follow.

This event will be using modified GMA Conflict rules to fit in the Theme.

As the old robot saying goes "does not compute"
