During the year 2098, due to the dangerously low amount of resources on Earth, technology was created by the company MatSynth that could create substitute materials so that people could enjoy comfortable lives. As the years passed by, Earth's populations reached critical limits. There were so many people that new alternatives had to be considered because there was no longer room for new families to live.

In response, Earth's finest engineers, scientists and architects gathered together to design and build space colonies that would orbit the Earth, large enough to support humankind for many generations to come. Eventually, 5 were created and the governments of the world decided a small amount of the population would move to the colonies to start their own communities.

Generations passed by as the Colonies began to develop, constantly growing and advancing. However, as the Colonies advanced over time, they also slowly started to separate from Earth as tensions slowly grew between the two. Eventually, the Colonies declared themselves to be independent from Earth and the Colonies united under the banner of the United Federation of Colonies (U.F.C), although the trust between them was limited at best.

Several years later, in the year 2576, a disaster occurred; a massive explosion mysteriously occurred, destroying Earth completely. Whilst a few people from Earth had been visiting the Colonies (despite the colonists harsh treatment against those they called "Earthenbound" humans), the majority of Earth's humans were wiped out as a result. The U.F.C launched an investigation, but eventually it was called off after the colonies began accusing each other.

The year is now 2579. With tensions between the colonies at their peak, conflict seems inevitable...
