History of Earth and the Planetary Alliance
2041 - First successful human colony on Mars
2058 - Start of World War III on Earth
2067 - End of the war. 1/3 of Earth has been devastated. It is time for a change. Humans now start a new age of scientific discovery
2072 - Using the tech that was created to wage the last war, scientists start sending humans out into space again to look for new resources and to reinstate regular supply drops to our colony on Mars
2089 - Manned exploration of the solar system begins, with various governments and corporations leading the way 2096 - Mining of the Asteroid Belt officially starts
2105 - A strange new substance which can mimic organic and inorganic compounds is discovered on certain mined asteroids in the asteroid belt
2106 - Scientists are quick to realize the potential of this substance. Corporations that have access to it hire the best minds to study it
2110 - The new substance is nicknamed Plasma due it's incredible healing properties when placed in the blood stream
2126 - By a series of fortunate events, Plasma is discovered to have even stranger properties. These properties allow it to warp space and time in localized areas under the right conditions
2143 - A breakthrough is made in replication technology. Using a small amount of Plasma with Quantum fluctuations, replicators can create any substance. However food still needs some tweaking
2151 - Engineers figure out how to use Plasma on spaceship engines, allowing humans to finally traverse at speeds faster than the speed of light
2156 - The first humans reach another solar system: Alpha Centauri. They spend 3 months studying the Alpha Centauri system before heading back home. The whole mission, from launch to the successful return to Earth took less than 12 months
2173 - The first extra solar human colony is established on a planet called Raeca in the Ross 128 Red Dwarf system
2178 - The second extra solar human colony is established on a planet called Hayami in the Gliese 667 Red Dwarf system
2192 - Alien ruins are found on planet Haelyn in the Gliese 180 Red Dwarf system. Although humans have encountered many creatures on the planets they colonized, this is the first time evidence of a previous technologically intelligent species has been found 2199 - The Planetary Alliance is formed, between Earth and all the colonies. The colonies govern themselves, but ultimately the Planetary Alliance Council steps in if there are any problems or trade disputes
2212 - More Alien ruins are found on various colonized worlds. But all the ruins are ancient, the civilizations long gone. Some seemed to have been destroyed, some seemed to have died off from disease, while others seemed to have reached a stagnant society and died off over time 2215 - Scientists find a way to detect Plasma deposits from a long range. Effort is made to colonize planets in systems that have large deposits of the precious substance.
2228 - An intelligent alien civilization is encountered for the first time. Planet Idalia in the Kepler 438 system had seemed to be uninhabited at first but, when the first Winter season had passed, tribes of native aliens started emerging from caves in the mountains. The aliens were hostile at first, but once they learned that humans had superior technology, they backed off 2242 - The aliens on Idalia have come to see humans as trade partners and even friends. They are a strange and old humanoid species who tell tales of the ancient past, when they too had technology that was akin to magic. But that was all lost during their religious wars which had scarred the planet centuries ago. Now they live a simpler life, farming in the caves and only coming out in the warmer months.
2259 - A colony on Planet Bilera in the Kepler 442 system goes dark. When the Planetary Alliance send ships out to discover why no one is replying to any communications, they find a planet engulfed in destruction. No survivors. This becomes known as the Bilera Incident
2260 - Following an inquiry into what could have happened to the Bilera colony, communications satellites are sent out to monitor nearby systems
2261 - Another Bilera Incident happens, this time on a planet called Kedua in the Kepler 1652 system. Again no survivors, and again no information. Nearby colonies are put on high alert. Planetary Alliance Space Navy are sent in to monitor the situation 2262 - The Arakin arrive! The Planetary Alliance Space Navy are witness to the next planetary attack. What they see is extremely disturbing. A large armada of alien space vessels enter the Kepler 1229 system via what appears to be some sort of wormhole and proceed to attack the inhabited planets. First they land a ground force of alien soldiers that attacked anything organic, while a different species of Arakin setup some kind of strange looking equipment that didn't seem to be a weapon. The PA Space Navy did their best to defend the colony but were vastly outnumbered and outmatched. Those few that survive witness a systematic destruction of the colony and then the entire system, but only after the Arakin have extracted any Plasma in the area.
2263 - As more colonies fall, the Planetary Alliance military scientists, using bits of salvaged Arakin tech, find new ways of creating more effective weapons and armor. The Warriors Of Lethal Force: Planetary Alliance Commando's (W.O.L.F.P.A.C.) are born, ready to frag some alien scum
