It is the year 2357 and our solar system is strewn with conflict and war. The weapon of choice being the AMU or Armored Mobile Unit, a humanoid robotic weapon. With the advances being made in all fields of science and also with the discovery of ancient alien over-technology on the moon the AMU comes in many different forms with many different names. Also as a product of human evolution and in some cases genetic or biological manipulation humans have begun to diverge into almost completely separate races and develop many interesting traits. The recent introduction of refugee alien people has changed the dynamic even more.
Just as our Solar system was approaching something that looked like peace it was thrown back into war by the looming threat of alien invasion. Recent breakthroughs in the study of datacores from the Ta'Vite refugee ship show that the supernova that wiped out their planet had probably been caused by another alien species, an advanced war-like species. The data showed that if that was the case then this unknown species would arrive in their own solar system within the next hundred years. This information was deemed classified and only known by the leaders and other important people of each faction. They direct their individual pawns to fight for their own reasons.
Xenophobia, predjudism, and ignorance have led to many conflicts between the major factions with each vying for resources and power. The Earth Federation has the lead on manpower with its billions of people spread over the surface. They have been known to cause the most conflicts due to their vaunted need to assert supremacy. Mars was settled many years ago as the Martian Conchord and is well on its way to full terra-form, known for their fierce independence and legendary toughness they fight hard to keep what they have. The many colonies that dot space out past the asteroid belt are commonly known as the 100 worlds and its people known as Spacers, rumours of genetic manipulation programs and bio-engineering run rampant and due to the small amount of contact with outsiders are viewed as very mysterious. Alien technology was discovered on the moon and because of that the moon has evolved into a complex of research labs and weapons manufacturers, their near monopoly on advanced AMU technology has allowed them to stay neutral despite their close proximity to the Earth Federation, they sell technology to all factions. Somewhere in the solar system sits an artificial planet, never in the same place twice, on this planet is the Kingdom of Farrah. Farrah was made and settled a long time ago by a group of wealthy scientists who dreamed of their own utopian world, many fear modern day Farren's for the near telepathy shown by almost all of the Farren citizens. Last is the Ta'Vite an alien refugee species that came to our solar system escaping the destruction of their own from a supernova. By the time their single refugee ship had reached our solar system they had devolved to a more primitive species. With no homeland of their own and a less advanced mind they were enslaved to be pets, servants, and bodyguards. There are very few who actually consider them people at this point.
With the threat of attack by alien and fellow man alike how will you make your way ?
