Dreadnought

you and the crew you command control the science corvet dreadnought. humanity discovered FTL travel in the year 2043 with help of a partical accelerator (don't ask) and became a solar empire quickly. The corvet Dreadnought is a mark XI Military Science ship. unlike most science ships that work for companies, you work directly for the government of Terra (Earth) and are a heavily armed research craft. some armaments include twin phase disrupters, 3 railgun mounts, and 1 underbelly mark V gamma cannon. your mission is to study planets, recruit or destroy Alien lifeforms for Terra, and to recover artifacts of precursor civilizations. (be any gender, race, sexuality, ect. feel free to costomise the crew how you see and make this story your own. for Terra, command out.)
