The year is 2810, nearly four centuries after the Exodus.

Back then, things were different. Or so they say. Our worlds were beautiful, our cjties were magnificent, and we were at peace. Constructing wonders of technology and forever watching the stars for alien life. Only to discover we never had to. It found us.

A white sphere, the size of a baseball but weighing 200 pounds, came crashing to earth. It defied every attempt to scan it, just lay dormant. After two days it activated, hacked every machine Humanity had ever created all at once, and then shot off into space. Two days later, we recieved a warning telling us to run.

Only a few people believed it. They were called the abandonists, and they fought a brief civil war to escape from the cradle worlds. They succeeded. And a day later, the Great Scourge came and took our homes from us, took our lives and our bodies for their own.

But some of us escaped. We ran as far as we could, until we settled Aurum. We lost so much knowledge in the Exodus, so many wonders we may never rediscover. As we spread throughout the region we now call the Human Sphere, we started having disagreements. People started leaving the United Colonies. Then people started rebelling against the United Colonies.

Then the Xelocians popped up. They apparently got punted out of their homes by the Scourge like us. Now they're nomads living in really big ships. They seem willing to fight for whoever is willing to give them food and a comfortable place to orbit for awhile.

Then came the humble aspects of the Post-Human Republic. They look like angels, like the very perfect Human. But they're more than that. The White Sphere did something to the Abandonists. Turned them into cyber-men, something beyond Human. We told the cowards to f*** off, and they've been trouble ever since.

Now, the entire Human Sphere is trying to kill each other, each faction trying to dominate the others and become the masters of mankind. Good luck, I say. I'm beginning to think that we'll be killing each other until there aren't any Humans left, or until we all become cybernetic freaks.

This RP is based around a period of civil war between the stellar Human nations in the Human Sphere. Life in the Human Sphere really sucks. Chances are you're living on a planet that can barely support life, being made to work 14 hours a day seven days a week in a mine or factory or some such. That or you've been conscripted to die for that craphill planet. It's only the wealthy and affluent that have access to anything resembling luxury. Technology isn't what it used to be, and neither is the Human condition. Mankind has gone from utopia to dystopia. Well, all but the humble aspects of the White Sphere.

The three factions are the United Colonies of Mankind, the Post-Human Republic, and the Xelocians, but if you want to put your own custom pre approved faction here just give me some generic info, some story, their strengths and weaknesses, what planets they hold, and what sorts of units and spaceships they possess.
