Humans

The year was 2040. Humanity's golden age had come to an end, and for a time we lived in peace. That is, until the Ark Crisis.

For decades, we waged war against a threat never encountered before; the Xenos, a conglomerate of alien races bent on eradicating primitive life.

The odds were weighed against us from the start, and after 150 years of fighting, we finally lost. Our home, Earth, was taken from us. We fled to other planets, hoping to make a new home. But however far we ran, humanity would never be left alone by the omnipresent threat of the Xenos.

Two-hundred and seventy-nine years pass. The year is now 2489. Humanity has been scattered across the universe and has all but been snuffed out.

On the 4th of April, 2489, humanity manufactured a tool that would let them take back their planets; the Tor Drive. Constructed from an amalgamation of Old Earth technology and technology stolen from alien races, the Drive will allow Humanity to take back their place amongst the night sky.

Humanity's path has been alit anew, and their destiny is as clear as ever; to conquer the universe, and to take back their ancestral home; Earth.
