On year 2199 UN science vessel DSC Watcher discovered a jump point, which
lead to a previously unknown star system over 150 million lightyears from
Earth. This system was named "Hell's Gate". Third planet of this system
was found to be the richest yet-found source of dilithium, a precious metal
needed to power all faster-than-light ships built by the human race.
United
Nations Space Forces (UNSF) had been constantly harassed my Soviet States
of Mezen (SSM).
SSM
was the only interstellar union to oppose "UN Space Monopoly Edict of 2182",
which only allowed ships under strict UNSF supervision to commit faster-than-light
jumps.
Dilithium
of Hell's Gate III would permanently tip the balance of power in favour
of the UNSF, and hence the SSM blocked all UNSF traffic into Hell's Gate
system. This conflict escalated into first intergalactic war, which endured
for two decades...
Now both sides have co-existed peacefully for over three years. But there is more to it: The Hell's Gate is opening and something's coming trough...
At
this point you step into the picture. As a Dilithium War veteran, as 1st
liutenant James Egg. He has had a four-year long career onboard UNSF's
most successful warship ever, the legendary Dreadnought Wyoming, and is
about to retire just as things are starting to get interesting....
