Hardcore Way Revamped
Posted: Fri May 23, 2008 3:41 pm
Hardcore Way, an universe that had so much promise, yet some assed up god named Heretic assed it up with crap. Well, older and a tad smarter, Heretic, with the help from other sources, shall do something never done before: Starting a universe without a company. That's right, Redcorps has become bankrupt.
Well, not really, but the focus now is between two warring factions (obviously) and a semi-neutral semi-parasite faction, but with a twist. No Imperium of Man, no Terra Alliance, no United Terran thing-a-majig. This time, it will be the Gloguk. What, You may say, is the Gloguk? Well, let me give you a brief rundown on the whole situation.
Unlike my other HWverse, instead of humans finding aliens, aliens finds humans. The first aliens weren't green men bent on world peace or probing women's anuses, nor were they diabolical bees taking over this single planet for their queen. It was actually a mixture of both, with a side dish of making friends and pawns.
Named the Varakeef, these exoskeleton-covered praying mantis/spider/lizard beings came to Earth in 2012, hoping to stir up a crowd. The Varakeef have learned about the humans long ago, when radio and television transmissions from this planet were intercepted by orbital scouts. After deciphering most of the humans' communications and mindset, they discovered that a crowd of paranoid humans and civilizations pinpointed a big even in 2012, so why not drop by and say hello then?
Well, in December 23, 2012, the Varakeef hovered down in front of the White House in their 3 cylinder-packed-together-into-a-triangle capital ships, almost squishing the White House, its yard, and surrounding areas. Luckily, the Varakeef were smart enough to just hover and beam down some delegates.
After a few meetings and comedic etiquette tragedies, the Varakeef and the Americans made a alliance with no benefits yet. Then, taking off, the Varakeef dispersed delegates around the world to every nation and community. Everything went smoothly, besides some angry fundamentalist mullahs being devoured for trying to kill the Varakeef, and the world was unified, at least in terms of the Earth-Varakeef.
It wasn't until political problems were solved a couple decades after that the Earth was unified. Cures for cancer, HIV/AIDs, STDs, and all other freakish diseases were made. The Varakeef gradually introduced the humans to the Vgar Ki, who became in love with human technology and toys; the Steel Scions of Hell, a spartan warrior race with a liberal scientific law; The Aeiou, little green men who are master space pilots; the Kuffa-Gratree, organic balloons that produces foods and medicine needed for the vast Gloguk, as well as being strategists; and the Ygngha-Lakek, benevolent "Old Ones" who only care about making a library filled with knowledge and artifacts, while delighting in cuisines of all sorts, despite the lack of need to eat. In January 1, 2100, Earth, or Slatri in Varakeef tongue, was admitted into the Gloguk, a covenant of 6 races, with some participating non-members. The Ygngha-Lakek, who are in the center of the universe, remain neutral. Here is a list:
Varakeef
Vgar Ki
Steel Scions of Hell
Aeiou
The Kuffa-gratee
Humans
The list of non members:
ADnet
Hytataras
Virvariand
Sudians
Xopos
01D+45
Pkartrans
Jellics
Sniorians
Warfists
Actrians
Algolkinians
But guess what? There were two other factions up north in the galaxy who are in perpetual warfare. One, the United Tyxan Planets, a sci-fi fantasy empire. The other, the Empire of the Greeg Dominants, is those freaky armor clad inquisitioner with strange looking guns, armored robotic steeds, and steam punk/evil ships, all tied in by an evil emperor with a huge harem and a religion worshiping him. The thing that keeps those two organizations and the Gloguk is the Ygngha-Lakek, space worms who tax ships outrageous prices, and space pirates who somehow fly under those mentioned space worms' sensories.
Of course, with space pirating focusing on a new spice somewhere in the fringes of the galaxies, the little space worms reforming their taxes, and the Ygngha-Lakek being Ygngha-Lakek, confrontation between these two realities, separated only by a political line in the middle, is inevitable.
