RP:Last of the Brave



"Hire mercenaries. Hire hungry mercenaries. If we don't fight back now, there won't be a colony here next year"

- Governor Malcolm Biseti

'''For most of the galaxy, now is a time of peace. The war that drove humanity to the brink of extinction, and split the Covenant asunder has passed, and now a new age has came, filled with technological wonders and great leaps forward. '''

'''However, not everyone can enjoy this new era. Out at the frontier of known space, colonists eke out an existence on small colonies, far from governments and taxes. These small colonies are easy prey for bandits and slavers. Former warriors of the Covenant, now lost and without purpose, now use the only skills they have, the ability to prosecute war, to ensure their needs are met. They go from world to world, pillaging colonies, stealing food, and grabbing slaves. Each colony out in this sector lives in fear of the next raid, but few have any means of resistance. '''

'''But one colony has had enough. On the world of Demeter, in the settlement of Trickwood, the settlers hatch a desperate plan. On the eve of a bandit attack, they've sent out messengers to more populated worlds to find any mercenaries willing to fight for their world. The people of Trickwood are so poor they can only pay them in food and lodging, and nothing more. Now the fate of this colony hangs on a seemingly impossible mission, and those few desperate or stupid enough to volunteer.'''
