"DPS," as most of its community members call it today, is a discord-based roleplaying game typically revolving around players taking up key positions of a (usually fictional) country's government, usually with an accompanying external 4X or Grand Strategy game, though, in recent times, the games have moved away from this in favor of a more spreadsheet and text-based RP, as its foundation. Players may choose to play as the country's politicians, military leaders, researchers, financiers, or diplomats—depending on base game being run concurrently—and whose actions may influence the direction and outcome of a campaign, playthrough, or "season."

* BackstabBackfire: Alexandria Goldlynx backstabbed the other megacorporations by attempting to strike a deal with the Cephiant Empire they were about to defeat to help her subjugate the other corporations under Goldlynx whilst leaving the Empire as an intact vassal state with the Emperor remaining as the leader. This backfired spectacularly when the Emperor simply went to all the other corporations for a better deal where the Empire would remain fully independent. Together with the other corporations, the Empire surrounded and wiped out all of Goldlynx's troops. This resulted in Goldlynx being auctioned off bit by bit with Alexandria and Jesse Goldlynx being captured and held prisoner.
Added DiffLines:
* Culture Clash: Halter & Talon Capital Holdings accidentally angered the Cephiant Desert Tribes by creating an archeological digsite in some Precursor ruins. They later found out that the Desert Tribes consider the ruins a holy site.
Added DiffLines:
* DefiantToTheEnd: The Emperor resisted attempts from the megacorporations to vassalize the Ascendant Empire repeatedly, even when everything seemed lost.
* DeflectorShields: Similarly to Literature/{{Dune}}, Humanity has developed personal shields that render ranged projectiles useless due to blocking fast-moving projectiles. Due to this Humanity now almost exclusively uses melee weapons. After encountering the native Cephiants, some corporations invest in developing guns and artillery that can be used against them.
* TheEmperor: The Emperor of the Ascendant Empire came to power after their father died and the more likely successor was assassinated by Volkan & Volkan & Volkan & Volkan Co. Initially they were just the King of the Builders but proclaimed themselves Emperor at their coronation due to the recent acquisition and integration of the conquered Khanate. Shortly after this they backstabbed Phyrxbird Family Corporation and invaded them to acquire advanced Human technology.

* GodGuise: Miasmic Indulgences deceived the Desert Tribes over the course of decades through indoctrination campaigns into making them believe that the Arasaka family and their corporation are the gods of the Desert Tribes religion.

* LastStand: It was believed that the Ascendant Empire was going to be finally defeated by a coalition of megacorps outside the Emperor's floating palace. However, this quickly was flipped on it's head when Alexandria Goldlynx met with the Emperor and attempted to strike a deal to work together to place the Goldlynx corporation as rulers of all other megacorporations on Prometheus and the Empire as a vassal. This resulted in a [[BackstabBackfire]], as the Emperor decided to go to all the other corporations for a better deal where the Empire would remain independent and they would fight Goldlynx together. In the ensuing battle, all of the Goldlynx military droids were surrounded and destroyed and Alexandria and Jesse Goldlynx were taken into custody. This resulted in the destruction of the Goldlynx corporation on Prometheus as they land and assets were auctioned off.

* StarfishAliens: The Cephiants are truly alien. With 5 limbs, a unique respiratory system, eating and defecating out of the same hole, 360 degree vision using a band of eyes around their neck, laying clutches of eggs, a distributed neural system, and skin reminiscent of cephalopods that can form incredibly complex patterns of colours to communicate, the Cephiants are completely different to anything found on Earth.
* SubLightspeedSetting: To travel to Prometheus it can take over a decade due to the vast distances involved. Despite this resources extracted from Prometheus are still sold back to Earth. And thanks to cryogenic technology the trip can appear to only take hours.
* TheBadGuyWins: The mega-corporations engaging in colonisation succeed in destroying most Cephiant governments, creating worldwide corpostates that are often dystopian.

* AlienInvasion: By humans, invading Prometheus to increase their corporate profits.
* AlienSky: Prometheus has two small moons, Iapetus and Mnemosyne.
* AreWeThereYet: The initial colonization ship, named "The Elysium" took over a decade to arrive at Prometheus from Earth.
* BizarreAlienBiology: The native lifeforms of Prometheus all have 5 main limbs and have separate holes for breathing and eating. Additionally, their respiratory systems are a one-way system, where they breathe in through one hole and then exhale through others.
* BornInTheSaddle: The Khanate is made up of various Cephiant clans, much of which pride themselves on their mastery of their Alhorse riding abilities.
* CallARabbitASmeerp: Some of the native Promethean lifeforms have very obvious Earthlike equivalents, notably the Alhorses which are [[HorseOfADifferentColor horses]].
* Cyberpunk: Many of the cities that developed, especially in Miasmic Indulgences territory, have a Cyberpunk aesthetic.
* FloatingContinent: Due to Prometheus' unique magnetic field certain types of rock called Floatstone are able to hover in the air. This has allowed for there to be a massive floating mountain and a natural wonder called the Floatstone Volcano which spews floating lava into the sky.
* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: Volkan & Volkan & Volkan & Volkan Co. employed LED bodysuits to communicate with the native Cephiants who communicate themselves similarly to cephalopods by changing the colours of their skin into various patterns.
* GiantFlyer: The Flothran, a flying native species to Prometheus, are easily large enough to be mounted.
* GlowingFlora: Much of the oceans of Prometheus became covered in a glowing bioluminescent algae.
* Gotterdammerung: The Precursors almost wiped themselves out due to a worldwide war where both sides used powerful chemical and biological weapons. Thousands of years later, the remnants of these weapons are known as Malelo which is a powerful hallucinogenic for humans, and areas of land that still suffer fallout from the war are known as Blighted.
* LostTechnology: Over the course of decades, the corporations reverse-engineered various Precursor genetic technology.
* MegaCorp: Six player-led megacorps funded the mission to travel to Prometheus aboard the Elysium to begin colonising the planet to extract resources to make a profit, as well as forging a new home for Humanity. These six were:
** Miasmic Indulgences, a media corporation dedicated to servicing and twisting the every desire of its customer base, seeking to bring society closer to its perverse vision of perfection. Owned by the Arasaka family.
** Promethius Goldlynx Trust, a private military corporation that continues the long heritage of the Goldlynx Family.
** Volkan & Volkan & Volkan & Volkan Co., a manufacturing corporation that additionally focuses on managing public relations and loans of others.
** Lorn Corporation, a research corporation dedicated to studying, containing, and perhaps even creating various abnormalities found on the planet. Viewing Prometheus both as a mystery to unravel and as a place where its more objectionable studies can be performed without interference.
** Pyrwell Ltd. an agricultural corporation looking to establish crop farms across the planet.
** Halter & Talon Capital Holdings, an extraction corporation, dedicated to extracting as much resources from the planet as they can, regardless of the potential environmental costs.
** HempCorp, a Mormon owned agricultural company that specializes in processing hemp into food ingredients, industrial materials, and herbal remedies.
** National Aeronautics and Space Administration, a research corporation that was a former agency of the U.S. federal government. After being privatized by President DeSantis in 2026 NASA merged with a number of competitors to become a leader in the aerospace, aeronautics research, and space research sectors.
** Phyxbird Family Corporation, a financial corporation that owned the popular Prometheus Commodities Exchange.
* Precursors: Prometheus was found to be covered in various ancient artifacts and ruins from an ancient race of Precursors that disappeared around 10,000 years before humans arrived on Prometheus. Whilst it was first believed that they were entirely gone, it was revealed that they were hidden underground in cryosleep.
* SandWorm: Prometheus is home to a species of giant worms called Vârorm. These are discovered to be creations by the Precursors whose purpose is to be biological terraformers that will safely terraform away the Blighted areas of the planet and the remaining fallout of their war.

Currently, the 5th iteration of the server, "Season 5", is over. "Season 6" is under preparation and was expected to start around June 2022, but development was rebooted and no new release date has been announced.
Over the years, DPS has launched several side-projects. It is traditional to launch mini-seasons in the interlude between major ones.

Other mini-seasons include Seams of Nesium, a roleplay based on creating a country and leading it through a cold war in a fantasy setting, and Denton Public Schools, where we all collectively decided to roleplay a school board/district for a week for some reason.
