The safety of Terra depends on strength of the colonies, and their fate is decided on the outer frontier. Ships and crews of the homeworld venture far into the unknown, pass through system gates to distant stars to fight battles under unknown suns – all for the one world that counts above all, all for the protection of Terra.

Humanity long harbored dreams of interstellar civilization, but the invasion of the Confluence revealed a harsh reality. The colonies of Terra would not be ports of a sprawling, ever-expanding empire, but bulwarks in an interstellar war fought on a scale unlike any conflict in all of history. Even though the great battles are few and far between, their cost in life and material dominates every decision on the outer worlds, every consideration of governance and new settlement. For this reason, few colonies enjoy any form of independence. Most are not even extensions of the old nations of Earth, but rather military installations of colonial scope.
