Nearly a year in the making... with several stallings...in fact, come to think of it, it probably could have been assembled in a month or so If I had been faster... Erm...
Anyway, I and RedBird came up with this. It's quite a sprawling chunk of introduction text below, so I've split it into sections. Skim through to get a feel for the storybook, but if you want to join make sure you've read it all!
The Story
In the center of our galaxy, a race of humanoid beings live in a modern society. This city is a futuristic metropolis, sprawling out on an impossibly huge platform. A giant star lies in the center, it's heat muted by a powerful field. On the four edges of their city, four huge machines lie. These machines produce and emit monumental electromagnetic pulses out to the farthest reaches of the galaxy. These pulses are the running of time. Thus, the people inside the city live away from time. For the sake of the story being coherent, all this does is make them immortal.
The people of the city secretly govern the world around them.
Usually, they just regulate evolution and keep everybody comfortably primitive. Then they have more time to relax and enjoy themselves. But one planet escaped their attention- Earth. The obvious response would be to blow Earth back to the Stone Age with their incredible powers. But there is one problem- the Earth's inhabitants are so strong now, they are afraid of them. And the Immortals are peace-loving.(overlooking there willingness to de-evolutionize primitive things).
As the day a great galaxy expedition from Earth is to be launched approaches, the beings from the Center decide they must act.
But to do this, they must make allies.
Yes, there are two other galaxies involved- both with unsteady relationships with the first.
But alliance may be the only hope for the Immortals, for they must now face the frightening prospect of the Earth beings overthrowing them...
The Characters
The Galaxy Vehement
A violent, often war-torn galaxy where the rulers, Vehements, do not monitor the galaxy around them. This often means turmoil on the planets around the center of this Galaxy as well as within it. The Vehements are tall, dark green skinned people with three legs. Aside from this, they are humanoid. They usually wear jumpsuits in a variety of dark colors.
People:
Recegarch- Mercinary (Tazakk)
The Galaxy Equanimit
Our galaxy. The Eqanimite's are generally peaceful by nature, and it is bothersome to them they must obliterate the Humans. But they feel it is necessary to preserve order. They appear to be humanoid, but with an extra pair of arms.
People:
Auspanguine- Pilot of Ship
The Galaxy Logistos
A galaxy driven by logic. The leaders are unseen Big Brother-esque rulers. Basically, this Galaxy has reached a point were anything the rulers say is the logical thing, and a dictatorship reigns. The people would be mistakable for humans, but they are much taller and can, in some cases, have a third eye.
People
Syollopogen- drafted civilian, impulsive and subsequently thought of as odd by others. (RedBird)
Earth
Earth is a torn planet. Though there are many who would aspire to preserve peace, the leaders are dictators who overthrew any form of government long ago. They are destructive (though not to a degree like Vehemnt) and desire control.

Transportation
Prophylacs
The galaxies all use some variation of the same vehicle: Prophylacs.
These are general spaceships, coming in any color, shape, and design imaginable. But they have one thing in common.
All Prophylacs are surrounded by a complicated, invisible shield that parries the waves of electromagnetism that are time. The Galaxy peoples wouldn't dare loose a second to true life.
GN-824400361 Repudiate
The ship to be launched by Earth to map the entire galaxy. The Equanimites hope to be finished with Earth before the launch. The ship is comparable to a small moon.
Aquixiates
Small, silent hunt and destroy crafts manned by American Soldiers. These prowl the Earth solar system and some are scheduled to accompany the Repudiate.

Truth Guns- makes target prone to help the Logistians. wears of in hours.
