This is a basic info post. As more questions come in, I will add to this post and fill things out.
Setting:
Spoiler (click to show/hide):
This takes place after the events of StarCraft, Retribution, and Brood War: the UED has lost their fleet, and needs to find out what happened, so they're sending out a much smaller fleet for recon in stealth rather than recon in force. There is a suitable planet, Cthonia, which has a large transient population as refugees flow in and out. There are rumors of aliens around, but those are just rumors....right?
Characters:
Spoiler (click to show/hide):
All characters will be male or female humans, females preferred. Everyone is light infantry of some sort to start with: marine, medic, or specialist. I'd rather not deal with psionics to start with. This may change, later, and if so, anyone who wishes can remake a psionic character (ghost or spectre).
Mechanics:
Spoiler (click to show/hide):
We're using Dark Heresy mechanics with StarCraft flavor text, and some liberality of mixing and matching chargen options. As such, you will need access to Dark Heresy info, or, at least use this character generator (
http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/dhroller.html) to get backgrounds and packages. Example: the Sororitas class is allowed for any background, not just the Schola Progenium. Also, I'll assign a set of die rolls to place with your stats.
Advancements:
Spoiler (click to show/hide):
As missions are completed, characters can capture equipment or samples and use them or have them researched for various bonuses, or buy advancements with cash. Also, if lucky (or unlucky), you might have xeno DNA implanted into you and change you, hopefully for the better.
Goal:

Official: figure out what is going on in Koprulu, and get info back to the UED. Unofficial: there are lots of randy humans and aliens out there....
