[Just seeing what the interest would be on such an idea]



Did we believe that the human race would last forever?
That we could explore the stars, and live on new worlds unopposed?
So much faith in the giants that we stand upon, and the thousands of years of technology.
War had been our dominion, we conquered all before us, it is the furnace we had been forged in.
Until they came...

In the year 6145 a.d the war to save humanity has been lost...

But there is still one last battle to be fought... The fight for vengeance.

This is Xenon, the curtain call...


Sometime in the further future, when all remnants of us have long become dust, a solitary craft speeds past a solar system, the craft alien like in design, strange markings upon it. The solar system ancient, it's sun a red giant the inner most planets consumed. Debris of some long past space object orbits around a gas giants moon, a faint signal is detected by the solitary craft.

This is a transmission from Commander Titus Thor, Megablaster pilot, if you receive this I Corruption most likely dead, and you may well be the last survivors of our race. It has been over three thousand Corruption since we first encountered the Xenite menace, and thought the great Darius, and the Panterran alliance had defeated them, like the arachnid plague before them. But they had been plotting the whole Corruption to destroy us, destroy our very history and existence itself. Our vain attempt to send our best Pilot, and our combined technologies to create the greatest Megablaster were for nought... They had Corruption us all along, and we played into their hands, our attack was simply an Corruption created by them so as to plan their real strike, sending Chronoexplosives back through time and taking us out in the past. We didn't stand a chance.
Myself and a squad of pilots including Corruption
We had been separated from the conflict upon a class M moon called Corruption we lost all signal from any fleets, there we had hoped to regroup and get back Corruption via hyperspace to rally Corruption counter strike, after emerging in orbit where lunar gate two Corruption been. We saw her... The Earth, a vast wasteland of asteroids. We had nothing left to fight for apart from revenge. We set out on a strike at the Xenite Corruption, we all separated to hope at least one of us would make it to detonate our core. I was hit early on, and lost navigation I managed to reroute the computers history and made it back to the M class moon, we had detected some kind of power readings here previously. I'm going to try to repair the nav system perhaps utilise this power source. Either way successful or not this will be my last transmission. Titus Thor out.

This is commander Thor, I found the power source, it was nothing special just a small factory complex ran by some local species, and pirates Corruption beneath was a large complex Corruption humanity Corruption been eliminated, Corruption no chance to defeat the Xenites, Corruption unfortunate souls Corruption I Corruption end now, we are human and must survive.

The year 6145. The human race and Earth, along with some of its alien allies have been all but eliminated by a race known as Xenites, a strange mixture of creatures presumingly created for whatever purpose it's hive mind needs. The Panterran Federation and the galactic Empire had managed to defeat them thousands of years ago, but they had bid their time and fought back sending bombs to destroy the humans time line itself. Why they specifically targeted the humans more than other species has never been known.
A small squad of pilots from the alliance of humans and these species that had lived together for over five hundred years in peace have decided to go on a seemingly suicide mission to hurt the Xenites so hard, they shall never forget, the Human race.

The squad begins orbiting what remains of Earth, a sorrowful cluster of debris, the moon has been sent spiralling out of position, heading towards Jupiter for its demise. Still attached to its surface by a spade elevator is the facility called lunar gate two, a hyper space platform, but there is little power and little time left to use a hyper jump. The team must make a decision.

Titus Thor had already gone to trail blaze a possible path, but no signal had been received from him again. So most likely Killed in action.
They could either follow his path into heavy resistance

Or jump to the Carpenter asteroid field, that was close to the Xenite main hive, it would shield their signals from the Xenites but would be risky to jump into an asteroid field, and simply crash into a thousand pieces against the hard Ironite rocks.

Finally they could take an uncharted route, that was longer, but had little history of Xenite activity, however it crossed the path of several space anomalies that result in equipment malfunctions and was we'll know for craft to go missing, Humans call it the Milky Triangle. Other races call it 'The eye of Hell'

Races.
Humans had set themselves as the dominant species throughout the galaxy, their military thinking allowed them to win many conflicts and they had controlled much Trade and territory. After their victory over the Arachnid forces they set themselves as the policing force over the galaxy.

Arachnid, were previously the enemy of all galactic species, but after a long and unimaginably bloody war, they were defeated primarily by human forces. And the species of the galaxy realised that any more wars would be too costly to everyone, and a new age of peace emerged, the arachnid remnants became part of the new alliance. They are now few in number, but the remnants are extremely fierce, and cunning. Many have become mentally unstable due to the lack of connectivity with other Arachnids.

The Atari, are a humanoid race, nicknamed elves by humans, due to their resemblance to the mythological creatures. They are spread across numerous planets, each with their own culture, ethnic groups, and laws, the only thing connecting them is their ancestry, which they are proud of.

Tronics, are cybernetic creatures, that once were a species similar to humans perhaps, but now control all aspects of their lives, and evolution. They grow their offspring in secretive nurseries, and at the age of twenty or so, they are then given their adaptations depending on their abilities. Strangely enough they are actually very religious.

Nasheem, are a group of animalistic creatures, that resemble felines on Earth, they had previously been a tribal species from a single planet, but they had been taken as slaves by pirates from their home world, spreading them across the known universe. They quickly adapted and learned to use their intellect, resulting in many uprisings, and eventually a full blown revolution against their slave masters, resulting in a bloody crack down upon them, horrified by the brutality of the pirates the galactic alliance stepped in and reduced the pirate bases to ash, giving the Nasheem home world protection, despite their lack of technology at the time. And passing over many pirate craft and bases to the Nasheem.

There are other many numerous races and groups that create up the galactic alliance.
