COLONY RUSH
Things always go wrong.
Humanity has long since left the confines of their homeworld of Earth, and expanded into the stars, colonising hundreds and thousands of planets in dozens of star systems. However, all is not well. War has become a constant, everyday occurrence in the Colonies, with rebels and terrorists threatening the lives of countless human beings.
In the year 2843, humanity encountered the advanced Vaskran empire, beginning with accidental intrusion and a mistaken declaration of war, escalating a long and bloody war. Dozens of human colonies went dark, with no word from survivors, if there were any. In 2851, after more than eight years of conflict, humanity finally prevailed, driving the Vaskrans back. It would be the bloodiest war humanity has ever fought, with more than thirty billion lives lost.
Slightly more than a year later, a small colony fleet was sent to a newly-discovered planet designated 'Sierra', more than ten-thousand lightyears from Earth. Deep Space Probes reported that it had abundant natural resources, and as such was the perfect place to establish a colony for civilians to live in the newfound period of peace.
Of course, things were never that easy.
