Hello everyone,
For the past 3.5 yrs I have been running a 2300 AD Traveller based campaign that I set in 2330D with much my own timelines and historical events and etc (GMs own design campaign). Now I have decided to start from scratch and develope a brand new campaign. i will take like a 3 month brake and just design my own campaign setting again inwhich I will base my next Traveller campaign setting from.
I will call this campaign The 3rd Wave.
History: (date to TBA) the nations of the Earth had damaged the Earth to such a state that there was no hope of the planet being saved and remaining a living place for humanity to remain. Mankind had searched a long time for other Earth like world and finally discovered one, but that it was a great distance away. With our would dieing and time running out for humanity, it was decided by the different political blocs to launch large Arks of resources and population inwhich to restart humanity on this new orld called Earth II.
The world got busy building the 1st Wave of these Arks to launch together for this new world, to resettle mankind and hopefully restart a better life there. The ships would take 50 yrs to reach the new system and home.
Seven Arks were built:
- 3 - from the US, Canada, Austrailia, Japan, Mexico
- 1 - from the UK
- 2 - from Europe
- 1 - from China, India
Each Ark had 5,000 colonists, and all the resources for a startup colony. Each Ark could start their own colony but the US 3 were planning to merge/combine their efforts together to make a larger collective colony.
Thus the first wave launched (date yet to TBA), and then extreme troubles began on the Earth. A war broke out by many of those nations not included and much panic and fighting started across the globe, bring the world to war. Most of the major players in the process remained at peace with each other and started to fight the rest of the world and surpress those that felt they were being abandoned or cheated. durring this time the 2nd Wave of Arks were constructed. It took 10 years to build these (7) Arks and once again the main seven nations built these larger ships with the same population mixes again.
These ships of the 2nd wave help 20,000 cryo sleep colonists, and resources to set up a new colony and build much industries. Much was packed into these ships in order to help these Arks and their crews to succeed. After their launch much fighting was increased on the Earth and the key nations were doing all they could to continue existing and keep themselves together and survive. Bio weapons were used across the world and much on the non-key players were killed off for the betterment of the main key nations to finish their final 3rd wave of Arks.
So once again the main key nations built 7 Arks, but this time the US collective built +2 more, the UK built +1 more, Europe built +1 more and Chine built +1 more. Thus this time 12 Arks were built and launch in the 3rd wave. Each ship carried 25,000 cryo sleep colonists and twice as much supplies as the previous 2nd wave had in resources and supplies. It was felt this would be the final wave of Arks and it was.
Now once the 1st wave reached Earth II, 6 of the Arks reached orbit and the 7th (Chineese Ark) was missing. The 3 US Arks all landed on a single location in a region much like America, and named their city Atlantis. The UK Ark landed on a smaller Island continent and called their city London. The 2 European Arks landed on another continent and started two cities, Paris and Berlin.
When the 2nd wave arrived ten years latter, each of those arks landed near the other founded cities of their foster nations. Now the Chinees Ark set down on a island continent and started a new colony that they called Beijing. All these city states worked together and lived together in peace, and when they could they helped one another.
Then some 12 years later, the 3rd wave of Arks arrived and landed. Now the 5 US Arks laned in regions arround thie main city of Atlantis. The 2 UK Arks landed on the Island with London and each set up it's own city. The 3 Arks from Europe two landed and merged with the two cities of Paris and Belrin and a new city was founded between the two. Next both of the 2 Arks from China merged together into the city of Beijing
Now until the 3rd Wave, there had been no Combat troops on Earth II but that all changed. With each of these Arks came as their crew a Cbt Regiment each. There were now active trained military forces on Earth II, but everyone was still working peacfully together.
At game start, it is 2 years after the 3rd wave arrived and the players are crew/passengers from that wave. Earth II has set up a world government inwhich they have called themselves the United Earth Commonwealth (UEC), and have merged all millitary forces together under it's collective control and put in place a ruling Senate. The players can be from any of the cities and are members of the UEC Scouting Core, charged with exploration.
There are a number of Scouting teams that are to explore the new solar system and tryavel to the near by star systems.
This is the basic idea with tons of more plots and sub plots and etc to play with. Nothing is ever as it would seem and all is not perfect in any step of the world either.
