4000 AD

Technology had advanced, some said, to it's apex. Faster Than Light drives, instant teleport units, Dyson Spheres, Hardlight, AIs, and microtechnology. Augmentations which required only for a man to stand in the center of a glass chamber for five seconds while microtech grafted itself onto his bones and his brain. These augmentations could be removed whenever the user wished. Immortality seemed to have been discovered as well, as these augmentations would preserve the mind and the body, preventing decay. But during this time, the art of War was the one thing that had not advanced to the limits of it's possibilities. During this time of advancement, War had been forsaken. The latest (known) advancements on the subject were made around 3000 AD, over 1000 years ago. Unfortunately we had also forsaken our fascination of Alien Races. Maybe that's why we were caught unprepared in our blissful, peaceful society...

4023 AD

First contact. One of our smaller colonies just dropped off the radar. When some of our ships arrived there to investigate, they found nothing. Literally, the whole planet was just...gone. Troubling.

More colonies are disappearing. The Council is getting worried. Some investigation ships have also disappeared. The people are starting to panic.

Six days after First Contact. Our enemies have decided to show themselves. A huge orb, covered in what at first appeared to be fire, has just arrived near another colony. I now have reason to believe that the strange orange light is actually information, being sent through a form of light wave to other stations...ships maybe?

This is...troubling. To say the least. The Orb seems to have...absorbed...maybe teleported the colony. Fortunately we were able to evac most of them...

(WIP, I had to go before I could finish.)
