Earth
Terraformed Mars
Terraformed Venus
A time of change.
The year is 2099 and after more than fifty years of the most advanced social and scientific progress man had ever seen, finally, Mars and Venus had both been successfully terraformed and colonised. Mars with a population of nearly a hundred million and Venus with a good thirty million it was publicly advertised that humanity was now in a golden age. It was a time of great future and advancement, many diseases had been eliminated through stem cell research. There was even significant progress in the realm of 'medicinal cybernetics' though science had yet to produce cybernetic prostheses significantly better than the original.
But six months prior to the beginning of the new year (Earth time), there was an attack on the Olympus Mons Research Campus on Mars, of the hundred and thirty researchers and staff only 42 bodies were recovered, half destroyed by some sort of weapons fire that people have yet to identify. At the same time raids on Earth began by a strange unidentified force hitting targets of no apparent value, farms, homesteads, the occasional 7/11, there were even some raids on Venus.
After a further ten weeks finally it was decided, without question, that it was the agency of extra-terrestrial intelligence and an ancient initiative was activated.
The Sol Defence Initiative.
