The Story

(Lore by TheMaskedMobster)

It is the year 2607, and the brutal succession war rages across the colonized galaxy. Since the death of the cruel High Marshal Azuloth, the cosmos has been divided. High Marshal Azuloth’s dictatorial military regime over the Galactic Core was liked by no one but in the wake of his death the even bigger question of what would replace it arose. Two key factions arose from the crumbling ashes of the military regime. The Allied Systems, a group that believed that power should be delegated to an elected council and that no one person should hold that much power for risk of falling into another brutal dictatorship, and the Galactic Monarchy, a faction that believes that returning to the rule of the Lineage Drakonis is the only way of achieving galactic peace. These two factions quickly absorbed the smaller ones and tensions rose until, in 2603, barely three years after the High Marshal’s death, war was declared. The two factions had by now risen to control equal portions of the galaxy – excluding one key area, the Inzener Cluster. Sitting at the very heart of the galactic core, this industrial sector has the largest private army and shipyards in the galaxy – meaning they were the primary suppliers of arms and ships to the factions and one of the few neutral parties in the war. For five years the succession war has raged, with the galactic core front at a standstill, forces have begun to occupy the galactic fringe, leading to much more remote battles in wild space sometimes between only single cruisers and frigates. In these remote systems, control of any structures is crucial, leading to fierce skirmishes over abandoned space stations or colonies – as their value as repair and medical bays is undisputed.
