This thread is for the Six Player characters under my control
Of course, some background first, no?
The silent war
The year 2012 would onto the history books as an uneventful year, many were disappointed that the "predictions" for the year did not materialize, leaving everything as it was.
But that same year, behind the apparent peace, a storm was brewing, a long string of black operations between the superpowers led to disaster.
March 12th was the day the powder keg exploded, as forces of the United People's Front pushed into western Europe unopposed.
a global outcry for the United Nations to respond finally led to declaration of an all out war, the first "official" shots having been fired months ago. UN troops battled the UPF tooth and nail, but were vastly outnumbered
Yet the war on the ground was not the most pressing matter for the UN
Squad seven and the SSM project
The UN and UPF both scrambled to gain control of the largest battlefield in the history of warfare. space.
Both sides had poured billions of dollars into the development of their space navies. The United Nations was the first one to launch a space battleship, and rushed to control Earth's moon. from there, they hoped to be able to regain their grip on Earth.
For this purpose, Group seven was founded in 2014. Composed of the UN's most elite , the 80 man fighting force was to be moved to the moon, were they could be redeployed to anywhere in the world, even deep in enemy territory. The best weapons and equipment was given to them, including the UN's latest achievement, The Sentient SupportMechanoid.
Given the most advanced AI system, the Machines were capable of independent thinking and action, and gave the force heavy support without the need to field extra equipment or men. they blended quickly into the squad, the same reason why the program was abandoned, as the AI was advanced enough that the machines developed independent personalities and became as unpredictable as the men themselves. so instead, the UN developed the Sentinel assault armor from the SSM frame, thus giving each man the same power as such.
As the war ground on ,The three Prototype units were scheduled to be scrapped in the UN's Moon base upon their arrival, but on the meantime were given the duty of crewing the Frigate in which the Group Seven men were being carried in cryo-sleep. But the vessel was assaulted shortly after leaving Earth by the UPF's fledging space navy, and was presumed lost after losing its communication array.
Several Hours later the UN unanimously surrendered and the war was done.
yet the frigate drifted through space, with its 80 sleeping men and their mechanical guardians....
