Welcome to Ascendancy
Dynamic, Immersive & Text-Based Roleplay Experience
Ascendancy V3, Coming Early 2025
Set 1000 years following the collapse of Ascendancy's V2 Galactic Federal Alliance. The once powerful and unified Galaxy was thrust into total chaos and anarchy. Society caved into a relative dark age of development and governance. Established political rules, security arrangements and individual freedoms eroded as power struggles erupted in regions big and small across the Galaxy.
The way of life that had been pioneered first by imperial rule, and then by a Federal Alliance, has completely disintegrated. Individual planets who could navigate this chaos through lack of strategic importance, were left to flounder and lacked the assistance they had become so familiar with during the days of the Federation.
Ascendancy 3.0 takes players into a new political reality within a Galaxy shattered and lost. A new wave of technocratic theories and ideologies drive this new experience on a fledgling planet state with huge ambitions. Exploration, nation building, colonisation and war is a collective endeavour. In true Ascendancy fashion, a rich and dynamic political experience sits at the heart of V3. How players interact with the numerous challenges that come their way will determine the success of the growing nation and its place in a disgruntled Galaxy.
Ascendancy V2, 2022 - 2024
Ascendancy made a re-emergence in July 2022 with a new and updated model. Described as a "dynamic, immersive and text-based roleplay experience", Ascendancy V2 for 24 months built a community of players who roleplayed politically, economically and militarily using unique and custom built tools. Players were able to create a planet and represent it on a Galactic stage while also commanding their planet's economy using a Discord bot. A functional Government, Legislature and Court led the way for the server to successfully simulate calm but also intense chaos. After the security situation of the Galaxy became untenable and the simulated economy collapsed in a very short space of time, players lead a conference to discuss the fundamental structure of the Alliance, it did little to settle concerns. The Galactic Vanguard (Military) stormed the conference and assassinated the Sovereign.
On the 29/09/2024, 807 days after Ascendancy V2 began, the Server Directors announced development of Ascendancy V3.
Ascendancy V1, 2019
Ascendancy first opened in 2019 after the creator Cam wrote a concept document describing a server which offers an RP government experience run by a dedicated staff team that create world/national events and an elected government must react and deal with these events. With a love for Star Wars, Cam later transferred this idea to a Galactic setting and ran the server alongside a group of friends across the world. Ascendancy V.1 later closed when Cam and others went to focus on their studies.
