It is the 26th century - an era of relative peace for the galaxy. NanoTrasen, your employer and the galaxy's largest megacorporation, finds itself in a period of stagnation. The company has spent the last decade recovering from a century long Cold War concerning its control of the powerful fuel source Phoron. In the wake of the conflict NanoTrasen has lost its monopoly, but retains a strong advantage thanks to years of research and development. In these trying times it looks to the Frontier for the next great product.

Yet, NanoTrasen is not the only power in the galaxy. Beyond the other Megacorporations competing with NanoTrasen on the Frontier loom the three Galactic Powers. The fastest expanding power in the galaxy, the Orion Confederation, rules from its capital in Sol. The Confederation struggles to maintain its influence over its border colonies, necessitating the clear delineation of Confederate and Frontier space to begin with.

The Vikara Combine, a league of several alien races, is humanity's first and oldest ally in the galaxy. They have enjoyed a position of dominance in the galaxy thanks to their advanced technology, but OriCon's expansion and economic power have begun to eclipse them, causing subtle tensions to develop.

In the far reaches of the Saggitarius Arm looms the 'Alliance of Three Hands', better known as the Moghes Hegemony. An alliance of authoritarian states, their tolerance of slavery has made them unwelcome in the galaxy at large. The Hegemony's fleet is the largest and most deadly in the galaxy, and thus represents the foremost threat to both OriCon and VikCom's security.

Beyond these powerful entities, the galaxy is teeming with countless smaller factions vying for power. Small alien states struggle to assert their independence from both the superpowers and the Megacorporations. Countless roving bands of pirates, settlers, and far worse struggle for rights to planets most don't even know exist. The Frontier is a vast and untamed expanse; ever growing, ever plentiful, and ever deadly.

About Us

Citadel Mission StatementCitadel ServersAbout SS13

Through a mixture of Story and Game development - planned and executed by Event Managers, Lore Maintainers, and the addition or adjustment of extant features - the Server at large should present an evolving narrative with an atmosphere of progression and player investment. Dissemination of worldbuilding lore is absolutely vital, and the end goal of Lore Development is to provide an accessible structure that allows players to understand the setting and fit their characters cleanly into it.

Recognizing that Staff-based interaction is not always the ideal method by which stories may develop, the focus of EMs, Lore Maintainers, and Game Developers should be broad stroke worldbuilding or specialized short-term arcs. The gaming population should be encouraged via initiative-based, player-level features to conduct their own events and drive their personal stories naturally.

In summary: CitRP’s current joint Gameplay/Lore Development mission is to emphasize player agency and interaction, with the end goal of creating an initiative-based system where the majority possess a baseline understanding of the setting and the confidence to explore their characters and storylines freely.

Citadel station currently runs two servers hosted by Jay. The Medium Roleplay server and The Heavy Roleplay Server. The Medium Roleplay server, known as the MRP server runs on a modified TG Codebase, while The Heavy roleplay server runs on a heavily modified Virgo Codebase. The Medium roleplay server is an environment that focuses more on the gameplay mechanics and less on roleplay. Conversely, the Heavy Roleplay server on the other hand focuses on higher level of roleplay and more focus on the environment.

Space Station 13 is a top-down tile based action role-playing multiplayer video game running on the freeware BYOND game engine, originally released in 2003. The game is set on a futuristic space station; however, location can differ depending on the game server, including spacecraft and exoplanets. The core game is defined by its emphasis on player roles: at the start of every round, players choose or are given various roles and attempt to either help or hinder others' progress.
