In the year 2472, the first manned spacecraft landed on a planet outside of their solar system. Chemical-fueled rockets were history; the new age of expansion had begun. Colonies began to spring up on habitable planets, and mining or research bases on some that weren't. Then, only 150 years later, mankind met its first extra-terrestrial intelligent life. A race of creatures known as the Grut, armed with technology greater than mankind had developed, decided the presence of humanity in the galaxy was an abomination. Their fleet swept through the known universe, destroying any colony, base, or spacecraft they came across. The attacks stop when the humans are reduced to only their solar system, and the Grut fleet returned to whatever planet they came from.
In 2645, mankind were met by two more alien species, this time amicable towards the human race. The Xenoia, a bright-skinned race of warrior females armed with psionic powers, and the Veturi, gentle giants whose skill with machines is legendary. These allies brought news of the increasing Grut presence in the galaxy; the war was not yet over. Technology and resources were shared among the alliance, and a joint fleet, dubbed Dark Abyss, was formed. The crew consisted of mainly Xenioa and Veturi, with veturi-made androids to pilot the smaller fightercraft, but some of the best human strategists and fighters made an appearance onboard.
The peace did not last long, and reports of the Grut fleet advancing flooded in once more. This time they were allied with a race of lizard-like technicians called the Jitwae, and formed the Xien Coalition. Their fleet was larger and more advanced than before, thanks to the new addition of their allies.
