The year is 485 NE (Nova Era). 485 years ago, Sol and another star impacted. This caused both stars to detonate in a nova that neither star would have been capable of doing on its own. The resulting explosion destroyed all of the Sol system, Terra included.
About two centuries before, jump travel was invented and jump gates were constructed. These gates allowed travel through jump space. Jump travel remains the fasted method of travel and is the only way to truly travel from one system to another. Through the use of these jump gates, the Terrans spread from the Sol system. Countless stars with countless planets became new colonies and, eventually, thriving cities. Terraforming technology allowed the new planets to be modified to match the conditions of Terra.
Now, in the Nova Era, the Terrans fight for control over where the new Terran home will be. In the year 473 NE one newly colonized planet has stepped forward, claiming the title of Neo Terra. Neo Terra was the one planet in the entire explored galaxy that was perfect. There was never even a touch of terraforming. The Neo Terrans also had one card up their sleeve that they saved until this year.
A fleet from the Gemini system arrived at Neo Terra to destroy the supposedly weak colony. In an instant, the planet itself seemed to launch a bolt of energy at the invading fleet, vaporizing it. A small group of Neo Terrans had discovered something on the planet. It explained why there was no need for terraforming on Neo Terra, and it provided a means with which to defend the planet itself from any threat.

:::::SENDER: OG
:::::DATE: 03.27.485NE
:::::SUBJECT: OG Recruitment
Greetings to you!
This transmission is being sent to you for one reason. The Oracle's Guard, or OG as some call us, wishes to hire you. You are the best of the best in your field of expertise. The pay is guaranteed to be double what you would receive elsewhere. Please come to the capitol's central building, the Oracle's Tower, on 04.13.485NE for the details on the position we are offering. Any requests you have will be adequately met. We won't take "no" for an answer!
The Oracle watches over us all.
:::::END TRANSMISSION:::::
:::::REPLY?:::::
:::::[insert blinky line here... DOS flashbacks anyone?]
Who's interested?
Somethings to keep in mind when coming up with characters is to figure out what the character's field of expertise is. It can be anything, but the primary components of the OG are archaeologists, soldiers, and starship pilots (not needed, but it doesn't hurt to have a little of that). Also, if there are any questions about aspects of the world, fire away!
