Thora....it seemed so long ago when in reality it was perhaps only 2 years ago. 2 years ago when humanity as we knew it was given an answer to the age old question. Are we alone in the universe? No. Now however, we wish we were alone. The outer colonies began going dark at first, communication suddenly going quiet, ships stopped returning. People thought it was just piracy, by products of civil war. The last thing ANYONE thought was extra-terrestrial creatures. Let alone that these creatures were invading human controlled planets. They were developing worlds, sure. Worlds that often had spotty communication till USDF forces set up proper channels. Then they attacked Thora. A world that bolstered a population at one point of 10.6 billion people. A world that the Swarm completely occupied in less than 3 days.
Day One, they made contact over the city of Ember. The sky darkened, Crickets in the billions swarming and infesting the city; killing everyone and everything in sight.........
By day two, the USDF set up defensive positions and tried to push the Swarm back. A battle that lasted less than 7 hours and ended with a devastating defeat for the UCM's troops.........
By day three, planetary evacuation began. What humans remained abandoned Thora. A population that had once been almost 11 billion people was barely 1 million people now. Thora was infested and humanity had been dealt a terrifying lesson. Humanity was not only alone, it was also out gunned horribly.
That however, was 2 years ago....
The Massacre of Thora had been a message, now humanity is sending it's own message: Retribution.....

The RP in question takes place in the 31st Century and would take place 2 years after the first contact with the Swarm, a race of alien creatures that have been terrorizing human colonies and wiping them out in a matter of weeks. Your characters (preferably between 4-5 folks) would be survivors who had managed to survive Thora and decide to join up with the United Systems Defense Front (USDF) to get some payback and perhaps retake their homeworld. We would follow these survivors as they go through boot camp and become hardened killing machines for the war. After boot camp, they would be assigned to the USDF cruiser known as the 'Retribution' (hence the title), a ship manned by survivors of Thora, making up what is known as the Thoran First and Only. From there, we would follow them as they fight the Swarm and soon discover just how big of a threat they really are....
