General Lore

GBC Beyonder is set in the distant future, in the year 2200. Earth has become an official member of the intergalactic community, with its space policies of diplomacy and war being conducted by the United Nations Intergalactic Command (UNIC). At the start of the official RP, the GBC Beyonder, Earth's most advanced and powerful galactic battlecruiser (GBC), has been assigned a new crew of six, made up of gifted cosmonauts of different proficiencies and a company-built Android. Its mission, to secure an alliance with the Azarkathian Empire on the planet Azaro.

One of the Azarkathian Empire's most valuable objects is the Jewel of Azaro, a powerful crystal with psychological and physical-manipulating features. The Azarkathians are exceptionally wary of its ownership; for if fallen into the wrong hands, the jewel could bring devastation to those who wield it. Nonetheless, its use as a bargaining chip over the Empire and its pricelessness has made it a treasure for many a bounty hunter or pirate to wield for themselves.

The Jewel may become the Empire's seal of approval for Earth-Azaro relations. But losing the Jewel may jeopardise Earth's only chance of alliance, and seep the planet into a war it may have no chance of winning. The crew of the Beyonder must use their talents to their advantage if they are to save Earth from imminent destruction.
