Relaunched Sim: Firefly: Objects in Space

The ‘Verse was shaken by the news of what happened on Miranda, rebellion was coming, the Brown Coats began to rise again. The Alliance did every thing they could to prevent the uprising, but nothing the tried worked. When it looked like war was avoidable the fates themselves stepped in and stopped it. A great plague spread across the ‘Verse attacking colonies rich and poor. The death toll continued to rise as the plague continued to grow unchecked. The Alliance throwing their vast resources behind the effort of fighting the plague was able to find a cure before all was lost, and the vicious plague disappeared as quickly as it had appeared. The Alliance was once again the stable rulers of the ‘Verse, the events of Miranda forgotten or forgiven as a new found peace followed the vicious plague.

Outside of the public eye there were some that didn’t take the tales at face value, they felt that something was inherently wrong with they way things happened, at the timing and the eventual result. They strive to discover the truth behind the events of the plague, feeling that the Alliance still had not paid for the crimes they had brought unto humanity.

So the ‘Verse continues forward in a state of calm, but every calm only precedes a storm.

Firefly: Objects in Space is a Board Based SIM in Space Fleet, it has returned to activity after a long hiatus and is looking for new crew.

If you have any interest or questions feel free to contact the hosts FSF Who or Adm Calhoun.
