Write Your own Space Opera-In Class Assignment-


It’s the year 2462 and the Earth has gone through World War V. The leftover nations of mankind are battered and desperate for valuable resources needed to survive and develop a way to move off-world. Conflicts have erupted all over amongst the survivors and numerous battles begin for control of Earth’s final resources that still remain. Control over the dwindling population has come into play as well.

            Samuel Jayce, a war torn WWV veteran with severe PTSD, is hired by a shady organization to travel to the planet Ma’Hyl to collect supplies and a “secret package” which may make a difference in the conflict on Earth. Having nothing left and a hatred for his fellow man Samuel agrees to go. He is placed on a delivery vessel named the Guildram with its unruly crew of ex-soldiers and guns for hire. oOne of the crew happens to be Samuel’s old marine friend, Sarah Blake, whom he is surprised to see since she had went AWOL during the war. After a tense, six month trip the crew make it to Ma’Hyl but upon arrival they are ambushed by a small fleet of unknown ships as they descend to the planet’s surface.

            After the ambush only Samuel, Sarah and a handful of the crew have survived and thanks to the assistance of the planet’s race, the Mahlinians. A group of Mahlinian scouts on patrol came across the ambush and fought off the unkown vessels just in time to save Samuel and a portion of the crew of the Guildram. Ny’x, captain of the Mahlinian scouts, is reluctant and regrets saving Samuel and his crewmates after finding out they were human. The Mahlinians and Earthlings have had a really rocky relationship due to a conflict thirty years previously that ended in unneeded bloodshed among both sides. Ny’x takes the humans to the Mahlinian capitol Mah’yan to be questioned by the council  in charge.

              After stating their intentions for coming to the planet were to pick up a “package” the council decides to investigate Samuel and the Guildram crew on suspicions that they may have been involved with the ships that ambushed the Guildram. Samuel, angered and agitated by the state of events, strikes a deal with the council in that he can prove that him and the Guildram crew had no involvement with the mysterious vessels that ambushed them. The council, struck by his straightforwardness, agree to his deal. The council enlists captain Ny’x to accompany Samuel on the investigation. Affended by the order but none the less willing to follow it My’x agrees reluctantly. From there on the story progresses into larger events as the investigation reveals a huge conspiracy that threatens a vast majority of the planets within the galaxy, including Earth and Ma’hyl.
