Vagus is a world in Virtual Paradise. It is an Science-Fiction roleplaying game world.
Plot
In the year 2089, a project came to fruition to send a group of Humans further than anyone had ever dreamed of. Using a sub-light speed colony ship - fully capable of sustaining a colony of humans; they set sail across the stars. The initial mission was the travel to our nearest neighbour, but due to the length of time required, all the crew underwent hyper sleep for the journey. However, something quickly went wrong early on into the mission. Once the crew enter hyper sleep, the destination was changed to the centre of our galaxy shortly after; all systems shut down with the exception of life-support.
Vagus was installed with the highest level of tech available to Humans at the time, but with its extensive laboratories and engineering facilities, it was schemed that the ship could be upgraded as time went on. Whilst the ship was within a distance that message could be sent, technology blue prints and information could be updated. One aspect of the ship that was critically debated was the inclusion of an advanced Artificial intelligence system, thought to be truly sentient. As the A.I would have access to all parts of the ship and essentially the lives of the crew, it could not be determined whether this would be a safe option as A.I's had only been tested previously in closed systems. However, when all the crew would be in hypersleep the designers believed that a sentient being that was capable of abstract thought could prove indispensable in the safeguarding of Vagus and the crew, and was included.
Almost by fate, a star that Vagus was passing released a gigantic solar flare which temporarily caused all the systems on Vagus to reboot. This allowed for the A.I to be activated. With A.I active, it locked orbit around the star and awoke the crew. You are one of them.
History
Initially Vagus was a sponsored world in Activeworlds, sponsored by Flagg. When Flagg departed from Activeworlds, the proto-Vagus world was deleted from the servers. Couple of years later a smaller p-20 world was purchased. However, due to the small size of the world and the engine that Activeworld employs, serious performance issues began to hold the project back. In September 2015, Vagus was ported into Virtual Paradise. At the time of the port Vagus had 3 worlds and 1 quest world, which are mirrored in the Activeworlds' counterpart. Since being ported, the Virtual Paradise edition has continued to be developed with new worlds and technological advantages.
