Based on the anime Vandread, a science fiction space opera.
Plot
Sometime in the not too distant future, several colony ships take off from the planet Earth in order to advance the human race. Their destination: another planet in a nearby star system. However, things go wrong. The males on the ships, tired of being nagged at by their female counterparts, disconnect the ships. The females land on a new planet known as Majere, as do the males on another planet, Tarak.
This RP takes place several hundred years after the colony ships. Majere and Tarak have flourished, though they lost contact with their home planet quite a long time ago. There has been a gender war ever since the seperation, and the thought of males and females living together under the same roof is purely proposterous.
So, what happens when the two warring factions are forced to live on one ship? Will they self destruct, or will they be able to put aside their differences to fight the larger enemy? Only time will tell.

Current Story Line
On Majere, due to the "garden" competition between the various females, several of the housing developments have been shut down. Having no place else to go, the women in these developments have taken to space piracy. This is a tale of one of those groups of women.
When the woman of the Sakura Housing Development lost their home several years ago, these 28 females didn't give up. It took them a while, but now they are the largest pirate band in the galaxy. During a raid on a Tarakian warship, a freak accident causes the Paeksis in the females' ship and the males' ship to fuse. Many of the males escaped, except for twelve, who were being held in the brig.
During the accident, nine of the female ships, known as Dreads, and three of the male ships, known as Vanguards, were also affected by the Paeksis. It has caused them to evolve, as it were. Because of this evolution, a mysterious and miraculous thing has happened. The Vanguards and the Dreads are able to combine, creating new ships known as VanDreads!
Our story opens the day after the fusing of the main ships. The males, who have proved themselves useful, have been released from prison. The females, still unwary about their male visitors are either trying to either ignore them, or try to get to know the new visitors.

Planetary Information
Majere -
Colonized strictly by females, Majere is rather beautiful. However, the problem with trying to make one's garden better than the neighbors has led to rolling blackouts, and even the shut down of "un-needed" homes to fuel their lust for power. The females of Sakura Housing Development were some that were un-needed.
Reproduction is more intimate than that of the males. It is similar to the current reality's cloning, though a bit more advanced. The Fahma, or Mother, supplies an egg, where the Ohma, or Father, supplies some genetic material. The rest, as they say, is all about the birds and the bees. The baby is carried within the Fahma, and she is the one who gives birth.
Food wise, Majere is much like the current reality's. Home cooked, and health concious. That is not to say it is as though one is currently on a diet, however with every object that comes off of the conveyer belt in the mess hall is a small sign listing how many calories each possesses.
There is an onboard spa for after battles, as many of the females find it relaxing to just soak after a space dogfight. Though, there are other things available, such as manicures, pedicures, and various treatments for any other ailment that could befall the female fighters.
However, when it comes to actual medical, they are fairly unadvanced in this. They are not completely inept at it, they just do not keep detailed records about their patients. It is best to say that they have a "treat and release" policy about medicine.
It is best to say that Majere has kept all the old traditions of Earth, including parties and celebrations. Christmas is one of the big celebrations, and is celebrated even upon the ship. Birthdays, anniversaries, anything that can give them an excuse to have a wonderful party.
THOUGHTS ON MALES: The women of Majere think of the men of Tarak as little more than pests. More often than not, women will choose to kill the men as they are raiding their ships rather than let them live.
Tarak -
Tarak, populated only by males, is not quite as beautiful as Majere. Their planet is similar to that of a desert with military bases scattered across it's surface. It is VERY militaristic, even down the dealing with the people. On Tarak, there are three types of people. There is the First Class citizens, those who are direct decendants of the original founders of Tarak and are quite wealthy. Second Class citizens are either 1) direct decendants with no money, or 2) non-direct decendants with money. Third Class are the poor people who are used for little more than cheap labor. Only First and Second Classes are allowed in the military.
Concerning reproduction, it is very informal. It is, quite literally, one male going up to another and asking if they would like to make a child. The decision is based upon genetics, not feelings. The process is almost likened to a factory.
Where reproduction is considered factory like, their food IS pretty much a factory. The males eat, quite literally, pellets. One pellet has enough calories to ensure 3000 minutes of labor. They do look similar to rabbit food, as an example. And, they taste approximately the same as rabbit food as well. However, to lighten up the monotany of them, there are some brands with are "special" as they have a different taste and a different color. Unfortunately, these are expensive, so the normal Third Class citizen is unlikely to try them.
It is unknown what the men do after battles, but it is assumed it is not a whole hell of a lot. Training perhaps, or just lounging about in their rooms. It is unclear.
Medical is something the men excel at. They keep rather detailed records, and their medical equipment is very impressive. Needless to say, when the ships fused, the men's medical bay became the main ship hospital.
When it comes to celebrations and festivals, they are strictly militaristic in nature. However, all are allowed to attend. The celebrations are more a show of militaristic might than for fun and frivolity. The idea of gift giving is completely unknown to the males.
THOUGHTS ON FEMALES: The men of Tarak think the women of Majere are monsters! Not figuratively for them. There have been pictures that depict women as little more than two legged walking crocodiles with hair and a chest.

EXAMPLES
Majeran Casual Dress:
Being that there is no "dress code" per say, the female Pilots and Deck Crew are allowed to wear pretty much anything they wish. More often than not, the clothing they choose to wear is rather close fitting, making it more like a second skin. Heels are common footwear. Jewelry is also rather common, ranging from head ornaments to earrings, rings and even some eye decorations.
The others such as Security, Engineering, Medical, Kitchen Staff, Registry, etc. all have their own uniforms. Currently, only Medical is recorded.
Majeran Space Suits:
The Majeran Space suit is probably one of the reasons the males think of them as monsters. It definately has a monsterous look to it. Unfortunately, there are no recorded images of the space ships. As soon as one is located, it will be placed here for referance.
Majeran Dreads:
Non Paeksis evolved Dreads all look relatively the same, with a few exceptions. Said exceptions are the transport ships, which are heavily armoured and are used to carry ammunition refills for the Dread Pilots.
Tarakian Attire:
