  Earth, or better known as Terra Prime by the last few generations is the homeworld and capital of humanity. With a population of 10.4 billion, Earth is still divided among nation-states, though nearly all have affiliated themselves under the Galactic Alliance. With such a high population, most of Earth’s citizens congregate in its teeming cities, which sprawl across the planet’s surface. Streets are invariably crowded with an automated traffic and the packed throngs of people, either those with jobs traveling to and from work at shift change, wandering the streets and searching for some meaning in their small, dismal lives. What open land remains outside Earth’s sprawling urban centers is dedicated mostly to automated industrial farming, where machines labor to produce the food and other organics to sustain not only Earth’s population but the stations that belong to it.
  
  The Galactic Alliance is a representative body of Earth and the colonies of Mars. To this day, the GA has done very little to benefit humankind. Originally created when humans thought they had found extraterrestrial life, they only now serve to oversee dealings between Earth and Mars or act as a policing service for stations.
  
  While advanced technology and medicine have allowed humans to live a longer and more enhanced experience, the gap between the rich and poor widens daily. After a cure for the Esta Plague was created, (which killed an estimated 200 million people during 2602-2610) Earth has worked tirelessly to develop and maintain facilities dedicated to advanced medicine. After the crisis ended, more citizens of Terra Prime were inclined to work on stations where they were promised work and health benefits. People who work at the stations below are usually posted their for life, their social status never increasing.
  
  Earth controls the following stations:
  
  Kendosha Station: Kendosha is the largest station out of the three, mainly responsible for manufacturing advanced tools and ship parts.
  Horus Station: Horus is filled with bustling markets and is known to house many criminals. Many people who stop here to refuel do not stay long.
  Vesta Station: Vesta Station is equipped with numerous greenhouses, the food being transported to the other stations along with Earth and Mars. There have been three robbery attempts from this station, all ending in failure.

  With a population of 3.6 billion, Mars has slowly established itself as humanity's second home. As we know, Mars was originally meant to be terraformed after the release of the SRPs. When humans finally created machines that could replicate themselves, they were positive that nothing could stand in their way. Even so, humans had to face the inevitable fact that there was just too many challenges and limitations when it came to terraforming Mars.To give Mars a warm breathable atmosphere would be like building it from scratch and having to extract much of the existing CO2. It would require adding an upper atmosphere of lightweight greenhouse gas to gather heat and block excess ultraviolet radiation. This would be the biggest human undertaking to date, and without some huge advances in technology, might not even be possible.
  
  After establishing a habitable colony on Mars, many on Earth thought that the project on Mars would be best left abandoned. As decades passed with no solutions past the issues terraforming provided, it seemed that NASA might give up and focus on other terraform prospects such as Venus (who some would argue would be an easier task that terraforming Mars). At one point it even seemed that the space agency agreed with them as the project to terraform the Red Planet was delayed four times, the third being for nearly two whole decades. Even when Earth claimed to be working on the project, it was clear that they weren't making much progress. Somehow Mars had transformed from a staging ground for humanity's greatest feat into an organized colony with its own political leaders and government.
  
  The denizens of Mars have grown accustomed to living in domed settlements. An estimate of 1000 years have passed since the announcement of the terraform project and it seems Mars' new group of political leaders wish to re-spark the project. Although these are simply rumors, some wonder if it is even worth waiting years for a planet that they would never see. Mars and its residents have slowly become independent from Earth. Once relying on them for supplies, they have become the leader in environmental science and research, even now being noticed by the new spaceships they create.
  
  In the last century or so, Mars' leadership has been distancing itself from Earth and becoming much more independent. Obviously Earth has noticed and has even called out their 'allies' out on this, creating unnecessary tension. Mars has also adopted aspects from militaristic societies. After the destruction of the MS Terigon, relations between Earth and Mars suffered, the UN even stating that they were unable to trust Mars. Their recent obsession with constructing spaceships and weapons of war is starting to terrify Earth.
  
  The majority of Martians seem to be oddly... nationalistic, having no issue with the way their government operates. Placing restricted travel to their planet has also helped them keep their secrets safe. When Mars agreed to join the task force, many were left confused or suspicious, wondering what their next move could be.

Technology of the Future

• Spacecrafts
• Bio Modifications

• 
  In 3115, spacecrafts/ships are mostly used to transport cargo between Terra Prime, Mars, and several space stations. There have been incidents in the past where pirates have attempted to hijack and/or steal from cargo ships but to this day, none have been successful. Both Earth and Mars have developed ships equipped with weaponry but have found no use for them. To shorten the time traveling between stations, Mars created Warp Hubs. These Warp Hubs essentially act as 'highways' between two locations. Once connected, ships can travel between the two points in minutes. It is important to note the majority of these ships have not been used for tasks other than to escort cargo or VIPs.
  
  SMALL CRAFTS
  These ships are characterized by their small size and/or short endurance. To this day, the following ships have not been equipped with FTL travel. In some settings, these small craft have the ability to travel and fight within atmospheres whereas larger ships do not (and are restricted to orbit).
  
  Escape Pod: Can be compared to a lifeboat in space. All ships above this tier are equipped with at least one. Generally these have only rudimentary engines and no weapons, but will carry some survival supplies.
  Breaching Pod/Drop Ship: A small pod that is used to deliver soldiers to another vessel by penetrating the hull. None have been deployed to this day; no one is dumb enough to try to outrun a GA ship.
  Shuttle: Commonly used to transfer personnel or material from one ship to another, or down to the surface of a planet. Civilians may own these for personal transport. These vessels are usually restricted to short range travel only.
  
  PRIMARY SHIPS
  These are full-fledged space ships; they have the endurance to go anywhere, but aren't powerful enough to be actual capital ships. The GA is currently working on a stealth program with this tier of spacecrafts. The progress of this project is classified.
  
  Cargo Ship: Purposed to carry goods from one planet/station to another. While it is usually lightly armed, ships carrying more important cargo will be accompanied by a Frigate.
  Cruiser: Cruisers can be classified as a jack-of-all-trades ship. Fast enough to evade or chase down enemies while at the same, equipped with enough guns to operate independently without escort ships.
  Battleship: Essentially a large and powerful warship.
  Frigate: A fast, medium-sized ship intended to protect other vessels. They have the potential to act independently for raiding, long-range patrol, bombardment, or scouting.
  Attack Fighter: This ship has the potential to carry out attacks that larger ships may not be able to accomplish. Fighters are small and maneuverable, usually deployed from Capital Ships.
  "Yacht": Exclusively used to carry VIPs or prisoners. Always accompanied by a Frigate ship.
  
  CAPITAL SHIPS
  Capital Ships are a new classification of ships originally created by the Martians (the project later overseen by Earth). There have been no deployments of capital ships yet some would argue the MS Terigon was the first (to be deployed in space) of its kind - which only makes it more worrying about its destruction. Capital Ships are large spacecrafts, meant to carry a small army or act as mobile space stations. The presence of just one of these in an area can influence strategic calculations.
  
  Dreadnought: A massive ship, usually the largest ship in the fleet, bristling with big guns. Although heavily gunned, these ships move at a slow pace due to its heavy armor. Only to be used in extreme situations, especially because the resources required to build one are tremendous.
  ???: These ships will act as mobile space stations.

  BioMods are any cybernetic technology permanently grafted to the human body, especially technology that interfaces with the human nervous system. All BioMods are artificial. Bio Modification generally refers to technology that interacts with (or acts in place of) the human nervous system. As the technology is expensive, they are affordable by most of the world's elite, and even by the middle class (depending on where they purchased it). Installing BioMods is generally considered a major purchase like buying a television or a new car. In the real world, the quality will depend on what you're willing to spend. Mall stores are considered the middle of the road. Specialist clinics can deliver much higher quality installations and for the desperate or the criminal, there is the black market. Biological enhancements installed by anyone other a professional can sometimes lead to faulty equipment, damaging other parts of the body and in some cases, kill them.
