Metals to Order Inc.
In a little known part of the galaxy a planet made of nothing but a ball of different types of metal can be found. On that planet,although feasibly impossible, a race of metal being evolved then one day a single permanent anomaly opened up the inhabitants studied this anomaly for many centuries. One day a rising scientist found something out about the strange anomaly that had opened on the small planet, the anomaly seemed to be a stable portal to other worlds and possibly other dimensions, with this startling insight the scientists decided to try to harness the energy that the anomaly was producing. Over the next 10 years the race studied the power that the rift produced and found a way to harness and control that energy to open a rift to anywhere in the multiverse they desired, so they started visiting many planets and finding that they're unique nature on most planets did not suprise the inhabitants on a few planets they were attacked but because of there metal bodies the inhabitants could not harm them. Then one day the portal had a fluctuation in power and the traveling group was dumped onto Earth luckily they had figured a way of communication that used the rifts in order to let there home planet know where they were, but before the did that they noticed a huge metal being that seemed to be resting they investigated and found a person that looked like he was operating on the huge metal being, The group went up to the huge metal being and asked what was wrong with it but it did not answer, then the smaller person hearing someone talking outside climbed out of his mech and was startled to see a group of metal beings he asked what they wanted as he slowly went for his weapon, then the metal people started to ask the person what was wrong with the huge metal being, he ansered "what my mecha" the metal beings did not understand what the person meant so he explained what a mech was and after many questions and a whole night spent answering them the metal being understood what a mech was and all the rest of the things they had incountered over there many jouneys. Then there attention returned to the mecha which was quite messed up they looked at it and tasted the metal it was made of they asked if they could help in exchange for the information that the man had given the he said only if the could make metal from they're bodies because the mech was badly damaged and had very little armor left on it, at that moment one of the travelers used there communication devices and contacted they're home world and arranged for the metal he needed with a few modification to the molecular compound that made it stronger and lighter the man was marveled at the new metal the metal beings asked why and he explained that the metal they had created was many times better than anything they had on this planet or any other planet. He also explained that if they desired they could open a metal manufacturing facility on they're planet and sell the metals they made to many different planets and make a very good profit doing it. This intrigued the race so much they decided to start manufacturing the metal they gave him but when they said that the man suggested that they start out making normal rifts Earth metal and maybe a little better metal or combinations or the two to make a slightly better but not as expensive metal at that moment he offered his services to suggest the metals to make and the price at which to sell it they made an agreement at that moment for his help so they wouldn't draw to much attention to themselves, with that decided he suggested in setting up a company employed by "normal people from the planet they are going to sell they're meatals on" they agreed with that so none of there people would be at risk and keep they're planet a secret until they developed they're own defenses for they're planet, so "Metals to Order Inc." was born.

If by chance anyone is interested in playing a Metalite then let me know
and I will create the race for a RIFTS world.
