[b]History:[/b]

The badlands/unaffiliated space dates to the waning days of the old imperium, roughly one century ago. History for that region during, and after the great war is extensive. Therefore, the history of the war will be broken down. 

The beginning of the end of man,

Three human factions laid massive claims in the south. the Dominion of Man, led by Faust, an genocidal maniac had proclaimed a new human nation, free of alien oppression.

The united terran imperium, led by the man named Uther, had done its best to secure its place as the last true descendant of the old Imperium ways over three centuries ago.

And the musashi, an branch off from the traditions of the terrans and dominion. A unique place compared to the others, were still drawn into the war.

The war was sparked by Faust, whom in a blindside rush, pushed deep into the imperium, taking many territories and forcing the imperium on the defensive. To make matters worse, Musashi joined the war on the side of the Dominion. The Imperium gathered Allies and a coalition was formed that saved the imperium from certain doom. The war bogged down with fleets maneuvering around each other, attempting to gain any sort of strategic footing.

After a coalition strike on a couple high profile Dominion worlds, Faust brought his full might into play and attacked as many coalition nations as possible, killing billions without a thought. It was here that he, in an act of defiance and rage, burnt the atmosphere of earth, killing all inhabitants.

The war took another turn when the horde, a menagerie of vicious races began their attack into the imperium, dominion and Musashi. After the major Imperium worlds were destroyed by the horde, the Dominion was cut off from their ally. Desperate to defend themselves from nearly all sides, the Dominion and Musashi turned their priorities from the coalition, to the horde. A mistake that would ultimately cost them the war.

As coalition forces pushed deep into Dominion space, Musashi began to collapse from within and was eventually forced from the war, leaving the Dominion alone. In their pride, they fought to the last man. Their final fight came as Faust deployed a weapon of extreme magnitude, that turned out to be far worse than imagined. The last massive fleets from the Imperium, Dominion, Musashi and Horde were caught in a massive quantum singularity, effectively removing the remaining military might of the four nations. 

Coalition forces took the initiative, along with nations opposite the Horde, to destroy what remained and to great effect. The horde fled through Musaahi towards the outer rim of the galaxy, destroying Musashi in the process. The great war ended at last when coalition forces invaded the Dominion capitol. It was a costly battle that Faust, the Dominions supreme leader, wouldn't lose. He chose to instead of fight and surrender conventionally, to do to his world, that he did to earth.

Fire spread through the atmosphere, killing troops from all sides. With Faust last seen with his arms stretched out, as to embrace the flame as it consumed the final seat of Imperium-descended superpower.

The initial aftermath was chaos, there was no government and a coalition that was butting heads with other powers. Prior human territories were carved up and the trillions of displaced aliens from the war were resettled, curing those issues. Logistics and aid from the more central worlds were abandoned which left the core on its own. It was utter hell as crime soared. Black markets and pirates flourished until coalition powers cut trade routes through the area. It soon became one of the galaxy's poorest regions. 

Nearly a century later, various corporations vie for the still resource rich worlds and rarely monitored regions. It is a safe haven from the major powers and now home to the Kar-ri, a group of religious radicals that have no sympathy for any but their own.
