My Kephan Unity Campaign - Circa 2269-70

[rarcher]

So I know it has been a bit since I last posted updates regarding my semi-regular FASA RPG/Ship Sim campaign especially focused on the Unity. Do not fret I have not vanished and my group has continued with it since the last posting. But we got a litttttleeeee bit sidetracked from FASA oriented stuff by wanting to run a D20 Modern/Future/Apoc campaign set in an alt reality of the modern day where the war in Ukraine escalates into World War 3, BUT where it remains conventional in warfare for about a year or so into 2023. After that sometime in Feb of that year 'someone' made a mistake or got trigger happy and launched a nuke 'somewhere' at 'someone' and then once done all hell broke loose by everyone with nukes. Fast forward 100ish years and the group of my players are descendants of either surface survivors or underground survivors from an area in Alaska that housed a mining/scientific base in the mid 2000s that the fleeing survivors in 2023 retreated too and survived and expanded in setting up an underground colony of sorts.

The campaign mixes a little bit of Falloutesque stuff, some psychic powers/mutations, some elements of progress from the Deathlands series by James Axler (Awesome series btw both in book and done by Graphic Audio in audio book format! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deathlands ), mixed in with current society and stuff. So all in all so far it's been fun.

BUUUUUTTTT obviously we also have done some stuff with the Unity which lets be honest is probably what you really want to know about right? Well fret not as I said I'll be getting some posts involving what they been up too from mid 2269 into the 70s. While hopefully staying true to what brickwall and others set down

No problem. I'm working on the next section of the Armada On The Cheap campaign. It involves the remaining destroyers the Orions are trying to get rid of.

It's taking some inspiration from when Secretary of State Colin Powell lied to the UN in early 2003 to justify war against that Satanic tyrant Saddam Hussein. He didn't need to lie. We know Hussein murdered his own people along with Iranians, Kuwaitis and Kurds. Justification enough to take him down. But Powell did lie and admitted it was a "blot on his record". Here's the link to that time from the History Channels site - - www.history.com/this-day-in-history/secretary-of-state-colin-powell-speaks-at-un-invasion-of-iraq

So I figured why not have the Feds try something like that against the Kephans regarding the remaining destroyers. But it will blow up in their faces. It maybe be dialogue heavy, I'm not certain. But I hope it will be dramatic enough to put smiles on all your faces. We'll see what happens.
