Space has been conqoured. Man, or.....Man and Furrys have taken to space colonization and conquest. The thought that we were alone in the universe has been dispelled and various forms of life have been found, some exterminated, some enslaved, and others kept in close alliance.
The United States is the main Military force Driving into space, due to the ending of terrestrial wars on Earth. But like on Earth, the inhabitants of space refused to be taken without a fight, and has led to the complete destruction of Earth's colonies on Luna, Mars, Hett, and Pluto's 4th child moon.
And a Former colony on Urel has decided to wage war on Earth, armed with abandoned hypervelocity platforms and numerous stockpiles of weapons and Mechs (thats right, i have Mechs in this) they call themselves the Humanist Faction, having killed all freindly ET's and Furrys.
The A.S.C. (American Space Corps) was outraged and declared all out war on the humanist faction, leaving Earth and Colony defence in the hands of the UN.
twelve long years of never ending war have destroyed the purity of space, bodies, debris and large collections of floating blood now cover the expances of space.
The Humanist Faction has captured 12 key planets, essentially boxing in the A.S.C.
Eric is a foot soldier now fighting on one of these key plantets.
