Adrift, in the vastness of space. Alone, your crew the only company.
You are the captain of a ship in humanity's finest fleet of starships. You are well on your way to becoming the admiral of the entire force. The most powerful creation made by man, all to be under your control. At least, it. The reason mankind created such a fleet was to combat the only other spacefaring species - the L'Vasi. The L'Vas were initially friendly, actually giving humanity basic FTL technology. It was only after the rapid colonization of planets and a few wars fought between advanced nations that they began to rethink their decision. And to the L'Vasi, the only way to quell man's hunger for land and power was to eradicate them. The war was long, new creatures came into the fold as each power gifted various soilbound species spaceflight. There were new allies and enemies around every corner. Eventually, mankind grew tired of this war and wanted to end it. So they made the Armada - your fleet. The intent was to find and destroy the L'Vasi homeworld. You found it, alright, but they were waiting for the Armada. It was destroyed, and humanity no longer had great power. As far as you know, you were the only ship to make it out. When you returned to Earth, all you found was a new L'Vas colony. The same has been for nearly every world humanity has come to call home. There is no more mankind.

I'm bored so I have decided to make a game. I'll be making this up as I go along, so feel free to suggest game mechanics or other things I should implement. I might also try to do a vague storyline.
