I tried this one and it never really got off the ground. I blame PbP format.

An advanced race of aliens recruits a number of warriors from earth to fight in boarding actions. The 'patrons' have good technology but are themselves totally unsuited for hand to hand combat (too big, too small, too slow, mental blocks, can't stand the required temperatures or so forth). The humans find themselves view pieces of a quest to recover ancient artifacts. They also find themselves on something of a quest to learn more about their employers, and if they should really be working with them.
