Welcome to the 23rd century, a time well marked by conflict and rebuilding. Humanity once controlled a vast expanse of the void. Prosperous and vast, the United Nations brought forth the Golden Age of human expansion and exceptionalism. United humanity spread out into the stars. However, in the vastness of space, arise other entities and forces. Not all sharing in humanities ideals and goals. The consequence? War... one that would span for 50 years and leave no world untouched. Human civilization would be humbled by outside forces, only by a miracle forcing the alien out. But by then the damage was done, and even the home world itself was brought death and destruction.The past 10 years have then thus been a slow decline of the old United Nations and its regional Mandates. A period known as the Great Regression as its being called has gripped human space. Old governments fall, new ones rise, and opportunity presents itself to those willing to grasp it.Manage everything from your economic power, to your hard fleet power.
