Plot
Setting
In the year 2117, humanity has mostly wiped itself out, spurred on by an alien empire of gamblers and thrill-seekers known as the Rouless. Losing their favorite play-toy, the Rouless uses the powers of ALIEN SCIENCE to displace the six greatest groups of humanity from time: the 10th century Vikings, the original Polynesian settlers, the early Mayans, the 15th century Swiss, the early 19th century Nepalese, and the German Empire circa WWI. Tossed with their armies into resource-abundant parts of Earth, the Rouless expected them to fight to the death, having mass betting pools on the outcome. There would be blood and destruction, and it'd be oh so interesting. But they didn't realize one thing.
When you take the scariest humans in history and put them together, you need to have insurance that they won't decide to go after you instead.
As the six groups met, they decided to ally instead of war, with the help of translators among the Germans. Realizing quickly that their enemy was extraterrestrial, they combined their resources. The vikings made powerful wooden ships, capable of surviving anything thrown at them. The Polynesians made tools capable of navigating any sea...even space sea, as well as the tools they'd need to get up there. The Swiss helped smooth over the alliance, using their honeyed words and expertise in diplomacy. The Mayans started plans for vast cities and settlements, for when they had found new lands. The Nepalese prepared for battle, preparing the Gurkhas to battle the intergalactic threat. And the Germans made the most important discovery in the history of war.
Mechanized war vehicles.
Dubbed the 'Kriegreiters' by the Germans, before that was dubbed as too on the nose, and later known collectively by the Coalition of Six as 'Star Mail' or SMs, these mechanized suits were outfitted to every starship, with at least one to each Gurkha squad. Outfitted with powerful weapons, flight capability, and modularity, the Coalition of Six were capable of using the Star Mail to blast back the Rouless, driving them out of the Milky Way Galaxy. Over three hundred centuries later, the Milky Way Galaxy has been colonized, at great cost: the Gurkhas vanished during the first approach into Andromeda, and soon after, the entire Nepalese government vanished. The Coalition of Six, now five, believe that the Rouless are getting revenge. So they'll revenge HARDER! With their wooden Viking starships, their German machines, and their Mayan architecture, they'll colonize the whole damn universe! Well, they would, if the enemy hadn't begun sending monsters of the week to attack the colonies and the military forces. And if there weren't rumors of giant mechanized beasts out in space. The Coalition needs something to stop them.
They need heroes.
Story
Aboard the Viking longboat Sif in the year 2447, a team of heroes is being made. Five people of varying ages with varying attitudes have been chosen to become the Star Squadron, battling the enemy with personalized Star Mail. With the help of the Sif's quirky crew, they'll learn the truth of what happened to the Nepalese, what the Rouless are, and about the legends of the 'mechanized beasts', including the great Leviathan. Tune in every Sunday at 7AM for a new episode!
