Newbie`s Interactive After Action Report

[Silverkeeper (OP)]

Newbies interactive AAR.

I`m new to this. This is my very first public game. There will be mistakes. Mineral packets colliding with earth, poisoning of the atmosphere.
Speeding to combat without missiles, vanishing planets.
All this and more can be expected but as the good book tells us don`t panic and have towel at hand.

Rules

Everything is final, no save scumming.
Participation is encouraged.
Just have fun.

2054 Mankind discovered Transnewtonian elements.At first they we`re hailed as a miracle for their unusual properties and usefullness.
However their relative rarity and high value caused conflict.
First small then escalating to the near death for all Humanity.

Nuclear weapons were used, a strange virus started to spread first amid
the soldiers then large cities killing countless millions. The deteriorating situation forced everyone to the negotiation table.
A cure for the plague must be found and endless wars cease or this might be their final hour.

To set an end to conflict Strongest nations established the Federation bringing any remaining resistance to a halt.
Agreement was had to share all recources equally. Even so these fantastical elements would eventually run out. Only one option remained.
What was left of mankind set their gaze at the stars.

It is year 2100, latest census sets humankind at approximately 859 million. Spacestations and armed spacecraft orbit the earth, remnants of
the terrible war, now repurposed to watch over our little blue dot.

Pretty sure you need to post them somewhere else and then use the image tag to link to that posted image

The federation will run out of transnewtonian elements soon, the discovery class is expected to find new deposits in
our solar system. It comes with a yet to be tested experimental jump drive and will likely be the first vessel to ever
discover new stars.
