In the year 2577 humans had colonized 194 planets, however those living in the Sol system began to feel the need to organize these independent planets into a galaxy spanning government. This group would become United Planetary Defense Collation and began to mass produce warships conquering independent colony's and forcing them to join. This would spark retaliation from the remaining colonies, they formed the Independent Federation of Systems this new force would respond with brutal power fighting for ever inch of every planet. In the name of remaining independent.
However the IFS knew it would need a new weapon if they wished to push back the UP-DC forces. A group of renown IFS scientists met and began to designing a new kind of weapon, mechs. The first mechs ever produced was the Knight from it's standard form it was quickly upgraded by pilots needs. Their first deployment was met with massive success and lead to Knights replacing most fighter and tanks. This would change the tide of the war, the UP-DC was now on the defensive.
When the war changed so did the IFS, no longer were they just about keeping themselves Independent they started to attack other planets. The UP-DC pushed back with it's massive fleet of starships, battles ending in stalemates with civilians taking the brunt damage. So in secret the scientists who had created the mech designs met and agreed on a course of action. They traded the designs for the Knight in exchange for 500 year treaty with the IFS. While many people see this action as a humanitarian one the IFS leader did not and claimed that everyone who was a member of the project was a traitor.
By the time IFS forces had tracked down the project members they had boarded an old colony ship and were now headed for deep space. They arrived on a lush world with a warm climate and breathable atmosphere, with no need to terraform, the people set to work creating their new home. They named the planet Tranquility after what they had done in the name of peace.
However, all that was 200 years ago.
In the time since then both the IFS and UP-DC have stepped up production of ships and mechs having phase out most other vehicles in exchange for them. Custom models and mass produced mechs now are part of everyday life, however no new wars have broken out since the treaty. New systems have joined both sides and yet neither wishes for the peace to end. However that changed at the battle of Tranquility.
Tranquility thrived, having it's own mech academy and thousands of highly advanced mechs and pilots to defend it. However the UP-DC discovered it, believing it to a unaffiliated planet they order it to stand down and prepare for their landing parties. The people Tranquility responded by announcing they would defend themselves, the UP-DC ships launched their mechs and attacked. They were swiftly defeated, however as more UP-DC forces arrived the IFS decided to investigate. What followed was a battle with Tranquility joining the IFS in it's fight and breaking of the treaty.
With tensions rising and Tranquility having joined IFS the mech academy have opened their doors to new students. Now with students from all across the stars have been arriving on Tranquility to train as pilots. You are one these pilots.
