A tale to tell... Galactic warfare and lots of pew pew (Idea, work in progress)

Due to myself having a great deal of time on my hands and a spark of my creative side... I decided to read up on the history of how new eden came to be. It always seems like war is inevitable in every situation imaginable... so as I let my wander off when I laid in bed trying to go to sleep, I imagined this story concept for the world of eve. So here is the basic concept... A much bigger project than creating a history behind my characters

In a couple of years, the Gallente and Caldari factions begin to get too shifty with their abundance of military. The caldari, having a rather large fleet of ships around Caldari prime, feel as though they could easily besiege Gallente prime. The Gallente however, see this as a threat and begin to amass troops in system. With both armies at the brink of war, fighting soon breaks out on a huge system wide war. The fighting goes on for a year, and both sides invest countless ships into the conflict. Meanwhile, the Amarr empire, the biggest of course is looking to take advantage of this conflict and expand their territory. A squad of troops is where the story evolves around, it begins with the siege of the city of "Haven" on Luminaire (I will check spelling later) X (whatever planet number, NOT Caldari or Gallente Prime). With the fighting going on for months, a final push is made and the city is won back to Caldari forces. The squad is then put on recon and scouts out the edges of the city. With a rather new scout for the Imperian army, our first signs of the Amarr are seen. The scout, a girl by the name of Angela, is caught by the squad, questioned, and eventually the squad finds out about Amarr's motives.

However, this is too late....

The empire fleet (Empire fleet being the biggest, followed by 1st, 2nd, 3rd etc) pours into Luminaire and besieges both Caldari and Gallente prime. With both sides navies caught off guard, it is a race to organize a formidable force to regain territory. Even then, it is a struggle to even fight the Empire fleet due to the majority of Caldari forces being on the Amarr/Minmatar border, and the Gallente's forces being on the Amarr/Caldari border. Eventually, the Imperian navy retreats back to the Nijara gate and blockades the root from Amarr to Jita. Caldari and Gallente, not having enough firepower to fight Amarr by themselves without exposing themselves for an easy strike on their home territory, ask the Minmatar to help in their struggle. So far I'm in the middle of negotiations and planning on how to get into Amarr territory and to the homeworld systems (preferably Amarr, as where Empress Jamyl would be). This would be a joint Caldari Navy, Federation navy and republic fleet force against the Imperian navy involved. Caldari and Federation navies being bogged down after the war, need the extra boost to strike back against amarr and prevent them from taking even more territory from Caldari and Gallente territories.

That's how far I've gotten... and I love working on this. Eve is the best game I have ever played and I just think there is so much more that can be done with the eve fiction. A simple character can be made and have a complete backstory, just letting your mind wander is fun. Well back to working on my story :P tell me what you guys think, I'll accept any changes if anything is not correct in a sense... although I'm pretty sure I've got everything right...

Some call it rust, but I, I call it an extra layer of armor. Trust in the rust! Big guns kind of help in that situation as well...

Don't forget that technically Amarr and Caldari are allies. So if Imperial Navy were to strike at the gallente, they would do so on the Caldari side, because noone really wants to fight three-ways deep inside the hostile territory.

Well honestly I haven't decided how to proceed from where I'm at right now. With the Caldari and Amarr as allies, they could easily overwhelm the Federation navy and crush them. I was thinking that possibly a Federation navy/Republic fleet alliance. CONCORD would of course be out of this because of the massive galactic war occurring. With the 4 major factions fighting, that leaves some of the other corporations... I.E. the Ammatar with their Minmatar backround, obviously Khanid would support the Amarr/Caldari front. The Gallente enlisting in the help of the Guristas and Blood raiders to launch raids against the Caldari and Amarr for more territory and ships. The Thukkar tribe to ally with the Minmatar and mobilize their fleet so they could not be hit in the same place. Mordu's legion to side with the Caldari navy to protect their territory. This leaves Angel Carter/Serpentis, and Sansha's nation... Although with where the Jove have gone in Clear skies, it would be kind of interesting to have a Jove intervention to restore galactic order.

I'm going to put my work on hold for a few days and brainstorm on where to go with my story so far...
