Lmao, so I'm ditching the Scavanger storyline. It's been a fun ride, but I want to start on something fresh. So, now I am going to reveal everything else that you didn't know about my Number 1 RP faction.
THE LOST EMPIRE
Long ago, in a galaxy far far away...
This is about the Lost Empire, an entity which has only been seen on the odd ocassion in my role play. It has had many names, "home", "place", "Beetle Hanger". The lost empire was a great thriving empire long ago, holding a firm grip to it's territory. People lived hapily and wealthily for decades. However, for unknown reasons, the lost empire vanished from existence. They're only remains where an ancient city planet of which has been only visited since by a few Scavangers and Razain. It was also the birthplace of the Lost Drones, which have also mysteriously vanished since. Notable features of the planet include the royal palace sitting on the equator, and the underground mega hanger which had once contained fleets of Beetle class battleships, which have since been reclaimed by various factions and pilferers.
THE LOST DRONES
Presumably a product of the Lost Empire, and potentially it's downfall, the lost drones where discovered during a Scavanger scavenging mission to retrive ships from the Lost Empires mega hanger. During which, Head of Transmissions, Tim, accidentally activated said drones. After a period of conflict and confusion, they eventually calmed down and revealied themselves to be a peaceful species, content with exploration and discovery. They have not been heard of since the Lightning Union.
THE OLD SCAVANGERS
Now, you've probably read the prelog of the New Scavangers, including the adventures of the Lightning Union. However, I am going to give a full recount of what I didn't cover in the prelog. Firstly, it was the BloodCult that lead to the rise of the Old Scavangers, after "Warlord" traded "The Big Bad Beetle", the soon to be Scavanger Mothership, for a Beetle MK 3. Once the Scavangers had their hands on a mothership, they were given the capabilities of moving their whole faction and running a trading empire. Also, ever since, the BloodCult has had a strange position in Scavanger History. Nobody is really sure if the BloodCult is allied or not to the Scavangers.
Soon after recieving their mothership, the Scavangers began supplying to various warfronts, most notably the KoL - BloodCult war, which helped the Scavangers gain more attention. Further adventures included alliances with various mining factions to export goods around the galaxy, and also setting up their own mining operations. A notable alliance was with the Razains, a race of aliens who posesed very advanced warp technology, who also wanted to start their own trading division. That was all fine until the Eyes event. Basically, what happened is that interdimensional eyes had begun to appear in each faction's territory. Each faction had to try to figure out what the eye is, and what to do about it. The Scavangers were included in this event too, and also began sending out transmissions to alert factions to their presence. The Razain also joined in.
One of the Scavangers' first experiments on the eyes involved poking it with a long stick, which soon was consumed by the eye, somehow. This quickly lead to the "just poke it with a long stick" meme, which has circulated in the Cosmoteer community for a while. Another experiment involved the SFCD. The SFCD or "Space Folder Cancelation Device" would rectify any warping of space time, effectively blocking FTL jumps. The SFCD was originally a form of Razain technology, which was stolen by pirates, and used to ambush freighters. It was then stolen by the Scavangers when said pirates experienced an FTL manfunction which effectively crippled their weapons systems and left them vulnerable to the Scavanger's armed vessels.
JAY THE ADVENTURER
Jay was a movie like action hero which was a featured in role play only once. Jay was the center of no major events, but his crew did include "Jake", who was Jack's (Old Scavanger's head of engineering) brother. Jake had become a part of the New Scavangers when it formed, as it was in his bloodline.
LIGHTNING UNION
The lightning union was formed after the fall of the Old Scavangers, as you know. They're mission was to survive and stay low, to settle unfinished buisness (such as killing a certain Greenfire Industries leader) and eventually rebuild the Scavangers. They had little to no effect on the Forumverse as a whole, but they did eventually complete their mission.
