ILLUMINATE ACUAt one time, the Earth Empire ruled the galaxy.

Eventually, the Empire grew so large that it became

fragmented and consumed by civil war that stretched

across the galaxy.

Tree distinct factionsthe United Earth Federa-

tion, the Aeon Illuminate, and the Cybran Nation

emerged from the chaos. Unable to coexist peacefully,

they spent the next thousand years ghting for control

of the galaxy.

Dubbed the Innite War, the conict claimed billions

of lives. It only ended when an even greater threat

appeared, an invasion by an alien race called the

Seraphim. Faced with extinction, the three factions

put aside their dierences and formed the Colonial

Defense Coalition to turn back the alien menace.

After the Seraphim were defeated, the Coalition be-

came the governing body of the galaxy. Its rst act

was to tear down the Quantum Gate network, the

primary method of traveling to and from distant

systems. It was a largely symbolic act: by restricting

the ability to move armies nearly instantaneously

over large distances, it greatly diminished the

chances of another intergalactic war. Te cost was

greater isolation for distant colonies, but most saw

this as a perfectly reasonable trade-o.

Because of this isolation, each planet has its own

governing body, and each colony has its own gov-ernorship. Te individual factions remain in name

and maintain their own military forces, though

theyre all bound by one set of ruling law.
