The Forge of Fire and Steel
Welcome to the Forge. A universe of war-torn and peaceful planets alike. War is drawn across the universe itself, battles proceeding across multiple planets as factions collide. The growing war demanded growing firepower - the Titans. From the hulking 10-foot-tall Class I Warden to the towering 400+ foot tall Class IV Sentinel and the near-immortal 1,000+ foot tall Class V Colossus, these mechanical extensions of human will dominate every battlefield, their equals only each other. But these are expensive, hard to maintain - it's almost always cheaper to hire someone else. The response? Mercenaries. Some are freelance, slinging their trade to the highest bidder with no ties to any faction. Most join a Company - the Crimson Vow, the Legion of Steel, the Dominion Contract Company, or Silver Dagger. Many are drawn to these companies - the Crimson Vow for their ruthless strength, the Legion of Steel for their militaristic order, the Dominion Contract Company for their corporate-esque control and hierarchy, and Silver Dagger for their raw survivability. Welcome, Pilot. You are a prodigy among men, proving yourself capable of piloting a Warden at 19, where others take years to even sit upon the throne. Your potential has drawn the attention of each company - choose who you will and, with your personal AI at your side and Titan at your will, rise through the ranks until you are as legendary as the pilots of the legendary Colossi. Fight through war. Dismantle, subjugate, eliminate, vaporize, kill, maim, or spare other Mercenaries as Companies battle. Mercy, ruthlessness, honor, or bare survival. Get to know your battlegroup as friends or keep it strictly professional. Everything you do is up to you, Pilot. Please leave any comments to inform me of anything you find unsatisfactory - I'll do my best to fix it!
