I was reading my BSG book today and also thinking about the Traveller rules that I have been using and came up with a kernal of an idea and would love to hear thoughts.
It has been five years since the synthetics rose up and rebelled against their human creators. Humankind escaped into the stars led by what was left of the civilian and military leadership after the war, abandoning their homeworlds.
The fled to the only location they knew of, it was to be the first colony outside their system, the planet only known as a number had not been revealed to the general population. The ragtag fleet of some 144,000 survivors named the planet Exodus and it has become the new home.
What greeted the survivors was a picture perfect world, ready for colonization thanks to the efforts of a few who were already onsite waiting for colonists to arrive. The military went into overdrive coming up with defenses against the synthetics, relying on technology that was a bit older so the machines would not have an easy time of overcoming the humans this time.
The homeworlds have been off limits until about six months ago when a long range scout jumped in and took some readings, finding that there was still signs of life and that for some reason the synthetics did not seem as prevelant as they should have been.
It has been decided that there will be an effort to explore and bring back some intel on the condition of the homeworlds and of the synthetics, that will be your job and your story....
IF for some reason this is out of line then please delete as needed....
