The Galaxy
The galaxy in which we live is commonly known as Estra. Other common names are Naplia, The Milky Way, and The Borrida Spiral. Estra is part of a local cluster called “The Five Galaxies” which include the Deltar, Celsus, Baxel, and Fadren galaxies.
The Modern Era
Scholars agree that the beginning of the modern era commenced in 4715 TSC (Terran Standard Calendar) with the establishment of the Interstellar Trade Union (ITU), a cooperative network of trade enclaves established and nurtured by the surviving galactic trade organizations of the Estra Galaxy. Stelltron Corporation, Western Rim Trade and the Molnsa Trade Guild were the preeminent entities in the ITU.
Naplian Campaigns, the Cybernetic Rebellion and the Dark Times
Naplian Wars
In the the Senarias Spiral Arm lies a region beyond the Great Desert Rift of Orion called the Rimward Reaches. The great empires of Naplia, Audria, the Briddarri Kingdom and many smaller alien empires fought a series of wars for possession of thousands of star systems and the vast mineral wealth of those systems. The war spilled over into the human territories of the Terran Empire in 2678 with the Naplian invasion of a Terran star cluster and the regional capitol world, Baedecker 4. The Terrans were forced to join the enemies of Naplia, the Grand Alliance.
The Cybernetic Solution
The Grand Alliance was unable to check the Naplian advance until they created cyborg and cybernetic forces by “harvesting” the populations of whole worlds and employing these new cyber warriors against the Naplians. With the help of the cybers, the Naplians were driven back.
