Long story short: Earth and its cronies in the Inner Colonies were the bad guys, they tried to take over the Outer Colonies, and they had supersoldiers with [i]actual superpowers[/i].

Obviously, they failed; good thing too, because they would have screwed up contact with the Alien Compact, a [i]former[/i] theocracy where one species, the Soveriegns, ruled over everyone else and made them slaves (they also had a prophecy where Humanity are the real destined rulers of the Galaxy and were planning to kill us all before dying of a plague made by the Korta, one of their vassals).

But now, there was one pressing problem: After Earth and the Inner Colonies lost its Civil War against the Free Human Worlds, the latter dissolved and went their own way, leaving Humanity divided once more - But not before it was discovered that the supersoldiers they had, the [i]Star Marines[/i]? They were children - Earth and the Inner Colonies were abusing kids in order to turn them into living weapons! Oh, and apparently, that their superpowers weren't actually based on 'Obscure Superscience' but [i]Ancient Magic[/i]; that Hocus Pocus stuff from books and comics and weird cults.

And [i]anyone[/i] can learn that if they had access to Aether, a type of Dark Matter that used to be present on Earth but has long since dried up. With Aether, one can turn imagination and beliefs to reality, violating the laws of physics and the material world. The Rau've, another species in the Alien Compact who really, [i]really[/i] like us, taught us how to harvest Aether from the void between stars, so now we have more toys to play with!

But the kids, the Star Marines, Earth and the Inner Colonies threw them away after their failure and now they wander the cosmos trying to 'find their destiny'. And on the desert planet of Martell, some of them may actually find it...
