Actium Knights[]
The Actium Knights follows the titular group of mercenaries soon after they acquired a derelict 700 year old, jump-capable warship. This RP is set in the BattleTech universe (also commonly known as MechWarrior), and follows the lore and rules of the setting.
Unlike the more action-oriented games of the universe, the ATKRP plays out more like the novelizations, focusing more on the people and the setting than the giant robots punching each other in the face.
Setting[]
Actium Knights takes place within the Inner Sphere of the Milky Way galaxy in the year 3063, soon after the start of the FedCom Civil War. The crew is currently aboard the fittingly-rechristened Starship Actium, a previously-derelict Dart-class Light Cruiser warship. The ship was found adrift near the southern edge of the galactic plane in the Periphery, and sold to the Actium Knights for a steep price. She was found battered, powered down, stripped of her armaments and most of her armor, and about 3 screws away from being classed as debris.
The Actium is one of the few Jump-Capable starships left in existence.
