Which the start of humanity's journey into space started with the creation of the Argos FTL drive in 2135 by scientists Dénes Antal and Tan Sung-Eun. Though this should have been a cause of celebration as humanity was set to expand beyond the solar system. The news of the drive would become overshadowed by the world war three on Earth. The war lasted four years and left Earth devastated with no clear winner. Remnants of Earth's governments came together to form the United Earth Coalition and worked hard to recover from the war. Starting a new age for humanity and their colonies. Only in 2169 was humanity ready to go beyond the solar system and establish themselves among the stars. First contact with aliens was in 2235 when an Zerine survey ship stumbled upon the human colony of New Carthage. Despite a rocky start. formal talks started between the two and humanity was introduced to the wider galaxy by the Zerine. Meeting other races and finding out fast who is friend to humanity and who is foe. The first war humanity had with an alien race was in 2265 with the Icnsian over an incident that claimed the lives of a thousand humans. The war lasted for three years before the Ainver intervened and found a diplomatic end to the war. Since then relations with the Icnsian have cooled and formal relations with them had improved. After the war, the UED had taken a neutral stance with foreign wars and has stayed out of alien affairs. That changed in 2420 when the Ustan Republic started a massive war that the UED was forced to join on the side of the Zerine and Ainver. Defeating the Ustan and while the UEC was against parts of it, the Ustan suffered harsh restrictions for several reasons by the Zerine. That was ten years ago and there has been peace since. Though tensions between the aliens have risen, it does not seem that war is on the horizon. None the less, the UEC has ordered a series of military exercises to be carried out. One such exercise is happening on the colony of Tarth for two special forces units. The SIST 2nd Battalion and a detachment from the MSTR. While they do not know it yet, both of them will play an important role in the largest war the galaxy has ever seen. One that if they fail, humanity and the rest of the galaxy may fall.
