Brief History of the World
2050 AD – World War Three ends. Earth suffers nuclear winters that results in vast destruction of human life. Several pre-WW3 countries are destroyed or annexed in the process, including China, France, and Germany
2123 – Population rebounds to pre-WW3 levels. United Federation of Earth is formed by the survivors of the war.
2149 – Mars is colonized
2201 – Alcubierre Drive is invented, thus Humanity discovers a faster-than-light method to travel to other star systems
2209 – Earth establishes Exploration Command, which main purpose is to seek out nearby star systems for Earth like planets to colonize
2280 – Zero point energy is first harnessed by Russian Scientist Soloman Shirokov. The accident results in the destruction of the Greater Moscow region. His theories on harnessing ZPE are made public to the world prior to the accident.
2300 – Humanity has now colonized 80 star systems.
2301 – The Exploration Frigate HMS Farragut under command of Captain David Eisenhower encounters an unknown starship in the Epsilon Eridani B star system. First contact protocol is initiated, and FTL mail packets from the Farragut are sent back to Earth. The Farragut is never seen or heard from again.
2301 – Two months later, an Earth fleet under Admiral James Eisenhower arrives at Eridani B to investigate his son’s disappearance. They could not find the Farragut nor the unknown alien ship that caused the Farragut’s disappearance. Admiral Eisenhower orders the fleet to search the system for an additional two months using every known scanning method, but to no avail. At last, he returns to Earth empty handed.
2303 – Four fleets of newly created exploration ships are sent out in the direction of Eridani B and its surrounding star systems in an effort to search for the whereabouts of the Farragut. Each fleet is equipped with conventional battle lasers and antimatter cannons and, for defense, standard deflector shields. One of the fleets, commanded by the same Admiral – James Eisenhower – encounters a star system filled alien life. He initiates first contact procedures, and all goes well… the aliens respond peacefully and first contact is made between humanity and a race known as the Algo. When questioning the Algo about the whereabouts of his son and his son’s starship, the Algo suspect that the Farragut may have encountered the Gaba, another alien race in this area of the galaxy. When questioning the Algo more on who the Gaba are, the Algo are tight-lipped.
2303 – One of the exploration fleets failed to return. Admiral James Eisenhower takes command of the remaining exploration vessels with battle capability and goes to investigate.
2303 – He retraces the missing fleet’s assigned path and finds the remains of the dead fleet in the Beta Coriolis system – scraps, debris, and no survivors. Unsure where to go to next, he orders all his ships to exit out of the system’s gravity well so that all his ships can jump back into FTL-Alcubierre space when suddenly a MASSIVE fleet of unknown alien ships arrives on the outskirts of the system’s gravity well nearby. Realizing the trap he’s in, he executes emergency jump right before the mysterious enemy ships closes into combat range.
2303 – The Eisenhower Fleet returns to human space, and Eisenhower himself tells Her Royal Majesty what happened. The Queen of Earth orders her royal council to initiate wartime proceedings and prepares the human sphere to defend itself from that massive alien fleet. Humanity prepares for war.
