There is a planetary star system called The Noxthra system. It is controlled by two major alliances who tend to disagree on many ideals.
The TSR (The True System Republic): They are a multi-planetary alliances that control mostly the inner planets. The Republic is completely human. The only exceptions are cyborgs and androids. Using star ships equipped with Solar Sail mechanisms the citizens of the TSR can travel from one world to another.
Most of the TSR's economy is based on the mass production of mechanical implants, weaponry, and transportation technology. Because of this, the people of the TSR are usually in the slums. The TSR uses propaganda to blame the ENF for the poor conditions and almost every citizen believes it. Shots have been fired though full scale war has not yet been declared. All know it won't be long.
A Performance Enhancer Drug called Crystathine has been manufactured but it is illegal to use except for government officials. It is created by synthesizing various crystals, one of which includes this world's Key. The drug is a injected based drug. It makes the body's reflexes better and enhances thinking levels. It also creates psionic abilities including telepathy, divination, telekinesis, and mental-manipulation. Though it is illegal to use unless you are a government official, there are always black market groups. Many crime syndicates stay alive by using the Crystathine.
The TSR has a very powerful Space Navy. Their ships are not big, but fast and the of war vessels they control is five times the amount of the ENF. However their vessels being small can only take a few hits before being destroyed, and set adrift. The TSR has infiltrated the ENF with spies, a group called Sector 9. This group controls all black opps affairs for the TSR including simple espionage, enemy sabotage, staged terrorist attacks, counter enemy propaganda, secret police units, and operative assassins. All Operative Assassins are given Crystathine.
Across the boarder, the enemy alliance keeps the outer worlds for themselves. The planets are separated by an asteroid field that is commonly called The Neutral Zone. Neither side is permitted to venture into the Neutral zone, the mere act of a vessel entering the asteroid field is enough to start a war. The asteroid field has been laced with explosives so it acts as a natural mine field.
The ENF (Elvin Naval Federation): The planetary alliances that controls the outer realm planets. They are mostly populated with elves, however they except all races including humans.
The Economy of the ENF is also capitalistic centring around precious minerals, medicine, and industrial production of products. Most of the people live a comfortable life, however there is a hidden prejudice that is never said but most understand. The Elves, the true leaders of The ENF, are always more wealthy and more powerful. They are looked upon with respect and are quite snot nosed. It is an aristocracy.
The ENF usually does not allow travelling from planet to planet unless it is for work or for the annually allowed vacation. No other vacations are permitted outside home planets.
The performance drug in the ENF works almost the same way except instead of psychic powers, elemental powers (Earth, Air, Fire and Water) are obtained. The Drug is therefore called Elemron. The drug has also been made illegal to use unless you meet the following criteria:
--1 You are a full blooded elf.
--2 You have an excusable background (most elves get this by default).
--3 You are of age (for elves they reach adult hood at age 80)
--4 You have a license to use it.
--5 You take monthly health appointments to ensure you are not using more than prescribed.
There aren't many crime syndicates in the ENF but the one that is strongest is called Right Blood. It is supplied anonymously with not only Elemron but also with Crystathine. It is secretly enforced with Sector 9 Operatives and acts as a homebase for Sector 9 as well as a secret cover.
The ENF has its prized Armada of Saucer vessels that are usually triple the size of a standard TSR vessel. The Saucers are thruster based technology, and because of their slick design they have formidable defences. They do have weaknesses in the armer, which is where the TSR gains advantage, mostly around the thruster joints. In the end both armadas are evenly matched.
The ENF's answer to Sector 9 is a secret police organization known as Krion. Krion uses it's own methods to not only find Sector 9 members but kill them silently. It is compiled of only Operative Assassins and individual communication teams. They do nothing but let Sector 9 come to them so they can kill them, that's why they were created. The operatives always use Elemron. The Krion has not yet realized The Right Blood Crime Syndicate is controlled by Sector 9.
The Date of both alliances would be referred to as 2256.07.12 Which is year, month, and day for our calendar’s sake.
Some past political facts and dates of current significance to follow:
--2256.01.23: A small TSR stealth vessel is scene by The ENF vessel Ronoco while it flew on the ENF side of the Neutral Zone. It was reported that the vessel was seen flying from one of the ENF home worlds into the Neutral Zone. However when the ambassador for ENF met with the TSR ambassador the TSR denied all as false claims.
--2256.02.13: The ENF Vessel Norton sees another TSR stealth vessel exit into the Neutral zone. It attempts to hail the TSR, and after making several attempts with no success at a reply, The Norton fires a warning shot. Again the TSR denies this.
--2256.02.27: The ENF Flag Ship Ranata, while flying on a weapon transport mission to the moon of Elam, spots a TSR stealth vessel flying towards the moon. After attempting to hail the ENF flag ship open fires destroying the TSR vessel. The TSR claims it was suppliant vessel to drop food for the Moon's slums.
--2256.03.19: An ENF spy drone is seen in the Neutral Zone by several TSR satellites.
--2256.05.01: The ENF Vessel Norton experiences engine difficulties resulting in an entire vessel self destruction. Out of its 12,065 crew members, only 467 survive.
--2256.05.03: As an answer to the destruction of the vessel Norton, the ENF fires two missiles at the TSR Military Moon of Nighting Hood. The Missiles spread upon entering the atmosphere, killing 943 Soldiers and injuring over 2,000 others. That same night there is reported an explosion on ENF soil. The explosion is reported to be caused by a phaser shot from the ENF Flag Ship Ranata, destroying one of the home bases of the organization the ENF call Sector 9. The TSR declines such an organizations existence.
2256.06.29: The ENF ambassador, Jon Runa, The ENF Councilmen Roland Lucas and Gregory Watson, and the Supreme Court Judge Hal Lockheart are all assassinated as well as 4 operatives of an organization called Krion. The assassin responsible was referred to as Venom.
2256.07.13 (Present day): Though no Declaration of War has been issued, the two alliances are at a state of Cold War.
