“Our nation is strong. Our people are valiant. Our courts are just. The skyscrapers and buildings of Terra reach to the heavens. Our reach extends to the very stars themselves, from the sweltering jungles of Venus to the frozen wastelands of Pluto. Nothing surpasses the glory of humanity. Our reign will have no end.”

-High Chancellor Tori Balous of the UNM, two years before the Fall

“Gone are the cities of Terra. All of our might and glory of our species, thousands of years of progress: Gone. In a ruinous night of fire and brimstone, our civilization was toppled. Old Terra has fallen. Never again shall her like grace the skies…”

-High Admiral Vladmir Nobikoff, immediately after the Fall



Earth was advancing. By the year 2093, Mars and Saturn had been colonized. The sprawling cities of earth, looming like giants, covered much of the surface of Terra. After that, once we had refined terraforming to a science, nothing was impossible. The United Nations of Mankind, or UMN, was a united coalition between the USA, China, Russia, Japan, and almost all other countries on earth. The whole solar system had been colonized, and just when Terra seemed to be at it’s greatest-

The Fall. That’s what the catastrophic destruction of our home planet was called. In some geologic or solar event, the face of the earth was completely scorched. There were no survivors on earth. Seventeen billion lives were lost that day, in an instant, in the blink of an eye. One second, a thriving planet, another second, a barren scorched wasteland.

What followed was chaos. A power vacuum had formed, and nothing could fill it. It is believed that although the Fall left billions dead, the “Years of Blood” that followed were worse. Anarchy on every planet. War, endless war. Brother fought against brother, for one cause or that. Governments were raised up, had a brief moment of glory, then fell back into chaos. Technology was lost, save that which was made to kill.

That is where we are now. A tenuous, fragile peace has emerged between the nations of Sol. But this will not be to last.

A time of fire. A time of Warlords.

Guns use high-tech magnetic propelled bullets, large laser weaponry (no handheld) is used, mostly on spacecraft or as artillery. Travel through space is commonplace. I won’t put an exact number on how long it takes to travel, just be reasonable. Don’t be OP, all that basic stuff. Got it?
