Part One: The Fall of Humanity

It was the beginning of a new age, after a century of constant war, mankind was finally at peace. Her colonies united under Earth’s military dominion, piracy was virtually extinct and the economy was thriving. Then mankind made its first encounter with an alien race, the Cathamari. First contact was a disaster, and three months later, humanity was at war with an alien race. Two years have passed since then, and humanity is losing the war. Her colonies have been destroyed, most of her fleet is gone. Her last bastion is Earth itself. The planet is surrounded by debris fields from the war, laced with mines and booby traps. Fortified space stations, and the few ships Earth has left guard the planet. In secret, the people of Earth work on their only hope, a new type of ship capable of bringing the fight to the enemy. Earth was about to break the light barrier.
Part Two: Rebirth
Over seventy years have passed since the Battle for Earth. The years since than have hardened the survivors into a resourceful people. Now with only a single small fleet at their disposal, they search the far reaches of space for a new homeland from which to rebuild their civilization and prepare for their eventual return to Earth. However, will their resourcefulness be enough when they come face to face with their greatest foe, a menace so alien, that no one but themselves understand their motives? Or will they be destroyed, by an enemy far more powerful than themselves?
