The year, 2601 A.E. (After Expansion, note that the human race
has expanded past their surrounding solar system), 600 years in
the future. The humans have expanded through over 400 different
planets, some hospitable to the human race, some not. Being a massive
military power, hardly any alien race had a chance to stop the
Human onslaught, until ‘they’ came. A alien race that
has never lost a siege of a planet, or has never been attacked
until the ignorant humans decided that they were to powerful to
be stopped by this ‘new alien species who appeared to be
hostile’.
The aliens attacked, destroying a fleet of thirty battle cruisers,
300 plus troop transport ships, and even thirty civilian caring
ships. The lost of life was enormous, even unbelievable to most
of the human government and military leaders.
The Home World Federation, and the Terran Confederate Oligarchy
hired the most intelligent nuclear-plasma Engineers to devise
weapons that will destroy this threat. After the plans were laid
out for the ‘Nuclear-Plasma projectile apparatus’, more
commonly known as a Pulse Rifle, Plasma Rifle, or Blaster, Gun
Smiths from the Planet of Aurin came to the aid of their government
to make the rifle possible. The creation lead to a new breed of
weapons in the arsenal of the Humans, but, noticing that the plasma
rifle was so costly and the traditional fire arms were more cost
effective, and possibly more dangerous, the government still issued
them to their soldiers.
As the war wore on they humans devised new weapons, walking humanoid
machines piloted from the inside called Mech Walkers were seen
on battle fields creating havoc in small numbers against the aliens.
Seeing that they were running low on forces, the Home World Federation
hired the most brilliant scientists to make a Interstellar warp
drive so the humans could transport supplies and troops to the
current battles.
As the war ran on, Humans kept advancing. New laws were mandated
such as fifteen years of mandatory schooling then after that two
more years of basic college courses. Then from there the people
could choose to go onto a trade school, a full college, or join
the military. Other laws such as Plasma rifles will no longer
be allowed to fire on safe planets because of the molten rocks,
fumes, and chemicals the blasts produced. The law comes from what
happened on Earth. The plasma rifle testing, and the strip mining,
deforesting, population rise, and nuclear weapons testing has
destroyed 75% of the worlds livable surface. Now on Earth there
is only a few military bases, and a couple of scientist facilities
since most of the civilians left in the great pilgrimage in the
26th centuary to Kora 2, a planet 10 light years away from Earth
that is almost identical to Earth Atmosphere. Planets in the humans
systems can range anywhere from 10 to 2,400 light years away,
and sometimes humans would have to stay in hyper-space for eight
months at a time.
Other advances in technology on Kora 2 has let humans live to
145 years of age to date. Due to this, humans have to take 15
years of school (mentioned above).
The lines are drawn! A new threat is here for the humans to fight....Are
you going to join the military and be a noble terran soldier?
Or, are you going to cower on the side as you watch a battle for
the galaxy rages?
