Aerospace/Defense
This is the RP page for the ESV Reconnoiter. This page will focus primarily on sci-fi themed Roleplay based around the space cruiser "Reconnoiter" of the Equestrian Defense Force navy.
What is the Equestrian Defense Corps?: The EDC is an aerospace organization that patrols the Equis star system, establishes forts, and outposts, and explores uncharted space. The EDF is made up of every country on Equestria, and the Equestrian colonies in the Equis system. There are two branches of the EDC. The Navy, and the Marine Corps.
What is Equis? Equis is essentially the Sol system, but with Equestria instead of Earth, and Equis as the central star.
Lore: In 2084 Equestrians developed the first ships capable of sustained spaceflight. With the discovery of a new frontier the races of Equestria were able to set aside their differences in order to preserve themselves from potential extraterrestrial threats. In 2092 the Equestrian Defense Corps was formed. The EDC's navy was organized into two fleets. First Fleet, which acted as a fleet of surveyors which conducted research on the Equis system. Second Fleet, which acts as the defensive fleet for the Equis system. In 2114 the third fleet was created as a police force which hunted, and detained pirates. The fourth fleet was created 6 years later as a designated marine fleet. In 2157 the first warp capable ship was created. It was crude, ill-equipped, and unsuitable for prolonged habitation by any organics. The ship was decommissioned only 3 years after its creation. In 2160 the first fleet had made a significant discovery about the system's star, Equis. Equis showed signs of rapid decay, and the fleets scientific teams determined Equis would be unsuitable for life in only 400 years. In 2165 the second warp capable ship was created, which was named the "Reconnoiter." The Reconnoiter was the first ship created in the fifth fleet. The fifth fleet's mission was deemed of great importance. the fifth fleet was to exit the Equis system, and seek out planets suitable for Equestrian habitation. During the Martian Colony Uprising of 2170 the Reconnoiter was damaged during a sabotage attempt by martian sympathizers living on Equestria. The Reconnoiter was repaired in 2176, and prepared for it's maiden voyage.
The year is 2179. The ESV Reconnoiter and her crew have set out to journey the stars in search of planets suitable for habitation. No one knows how long they'll be gone, or what they will find.
