My 1st RP, "A Hopeless Defense", is a failure (well, I think it is). So I'm going to open up a new RP based in the future. (see story below)

"If they are blind, they shall see. If they are deaf, they shall hear. If they are mute, they shall speak. If they are heathen, they shall be converted." - Yinfi Andondous, Covenant Former High Inquisitor, 2250 A.D. - 2430 A.D.

A small bulb illuminated the cargo freighter in which Prisoners of Faith (POF) were being carried to their awaiting "Conversion Camp". The camp was meant to convert the "heathen" as they were called by the Covenant into religious zealots who would follow the command of the Covenant. This was done through crushing the spirits and bodies of the prisoners by means of heavy work, brainwashing, loneliness, and propaganda. Speaking of which, the Covenant was a nation of Terra (thats the alien reference to "Human") which prided themselves on their religion. The Covenant worshiped a long gone alien race, known as the Nimbinu. The Nimbinu were rumored to have created the whole world and universe with their weapon, the Big Bang Device. The explosion is said to have wiped them all out, as well as wiping out all other galaxies and creating a new universe. The Nimbinu themselves worshiped the religion of "The Way", a religion which stated that when the worshippers reached their greatest power, they had to destroy their world with the device they had been commisioned to create in the religious book, and that religion had been passed down from many generations of races until the Covenant picked it up. The Covenant would not tolerate non-believers, and often killed or took prisoner any "heathen" brave enough to oppose their iron-fisted rule. Many alien races and other Terra factions fell before the military and religious might that was the Covenant. Only a bunch of rebels were left. These rebels secretly went underground, trying to undermine the authority of the government. Eventually, after 1000 years of groveling, staying in the shadows, and assasinating key officials of the Covenant, the rebels united themselves under a new banner, The Free. The Free appealed to many overworked, underfed Covenant converts with the message "The fall of the Opressor is coming! Join us! Destroy the Covenant!"
Many converts did just that. And now The Free are planning their greatest invasion yet, an invasion which will destroy the Covenant and free all races and factions forever...

The Free and allies:
The Free (Yanbania)

OOC: Yes, but you have to specify your backround story. Who are the mercenaries and do (or did) they have anything against either side. Give me some specifics and I'll add your faction.

OOC: sorry i didnt respond earlier lol had power outage yeaster day lol
here is some info on them
They dont really have a leader but rather a commander. Each batalion has a commander (batalion=100 men) who is there leader. Each batalion works together but acts like there a sepret army (like each ahs there own armor, tactics, each has a diffrent amount of moeny to spend ext). The history of them was started when then covonent invaded earth. These mercianries were origanly soldiers that had there family killed by the convenant. The left the army because the army didnt agree with the fighting style. Also they hate the chain of commands and haveing to ask if its ok to raid this place or if its ok to use this "torture technique" whats allowed or not. Also each batalion has its own rules and when the batalions form up (which they rarly do, unless needed to) the person whith the highest rank( they kept the Militarys ranks) takes charge(this is why they dont like forming up it remakes the chain of commands) and ever since they left the military some of them have been killed, which makes them hate both parties equally. (OOC: i have 2 go at 5:15 will be back at like 8... its 4:55 over here)
