Outline for a story (just backstory +)

Okay, I've made a rough outline for a story, or the backstory + intro to a story. No body or conclusion yet, which leaves it open to anything. 


Intro:

On the mask people’s planet, there were a people who lived a relatively peaceful life

Crab men created a colony 2 years ago.

The mask people allow them to colonize, as long as they don’t cause a ruckus to them, or damage their resources

They got into some trouble with a Lizard-like race over trade agreements. ( or something else)

The lizard people decide to invade because the crab people provoked.

The conflict is putting the masked people’s lives in jeopardy.

5 years of intense fighting have gone between the lizard and crab people.

The mask people are trying to cope and defend themselves. The crab people are starting to break their agreements and have been seeking shelter in the mask people’s cities, bringing the fight to their doorstep.

The story begins here:

one night, in the middle of a meteor shower, an object falls from the sky outside of a town that is currently under threat of being attacked.

A young man of the masked people finds it.

It’s a relatively big object, yet somewhat light, has an alien language written on it (not from the crab people or lizard people).

The next day, his town happens to be stormed by the lizard people who are search their homes relentlessly.

The weapon is used to fend off the lizard people.

Enough damage is done to them to want to pull out of the city. They leave with the intent of returning.

The young man with weapon gets mixed reactions from the public, the authorities confiscate the weapon so it can be examined and potentially be useful for their own military.

The young man doesn’t appreciate them taking the weapon he found.

Needs to get it back because he’s the only one who can use it, (yet he still doesn’t know all the weapon's capabilities yet)

(To be continued)
