Paradise Pandora

Pandora is a planet that was colonized in 5273 after the Earth was destroyed by warfare that claimed most of the population. Only a third of the population survived to make it to a new world after randomly jumping into a new galaxy. Nearly a hundred escape shuttles crashed on Pandora, bringing advanced weapons and technology to a world untouched by any sentient species.

Pandora is a planet that is made up of mostly oceans with only two large continents and several island chains. After the initial set up of the new planet for the humans, it was agreed that all technology and weapons would be locked away in special vaults so that they could not be used to destroy another planet. Life became simple for about two hundred years. Nations have risen up that seek the vaults and the power sealed within them.

The largest continent is ruled by the Empire of Veertor. This nation was created through bloodshed and lies. It’s current leader is Emperor Victor Veertor the third. This nation cares little about its people and only the rich have any real place in society. All men must serve a mandatory four year military career once they reach the age of eighteen.

The other continent is the Republic of Cryn, ruled by a group of elected officials. This continent’s people banded together to protect themselves from the Veertor Empire, and have since become a strong nation. Although not as strong with infantry, Cryn boasts a powerful navy as well as a network of spies and assassins.

Behind the scenes of both nations is the Church of Xelta. This organization was founded after the shuttle pilot Xelta Crews who died to bring his ship safely to Pandora. Although it started with good intentions of spreading peace and helping the less fortunate of the world, many of its officials have become corrupt.
Unlike the continents, the smaller islands have remained largely unaffected by the warfare. Adventurers, mercenaries, traders, and pirates travel the globe using the island chains as their homes.
