The year is 2561 CE (Common Era), and with the help of massive arc ships, humanity has slowly spread out amongst the stars, and colonized our neighboring systems. Gateways now connect Sol and the Colonies, making travel take mere months, rather than decades. The discovery of the seemingly supernatural material, Phoron, has pushed the bounds of science, and with Terraforming Machines also available, on-ship FTL (Faster than Light) drives have become a reality. Colonization and expansion have never been like this before. But, more importantly; we are not alone, as we once thought. Other species - The Skrell, Unathi, Tajara, Dionaea, and Resomii, explore the stars alongside us. Expanding the frontier even further - For Knowledge. For Profit.
However, danger lurks just around the corner. Hostile aliens like the Vox, Moraki, and other, unknown species who we have yet to discover. Various subversive organizations work on the frontier, causing turmoil and havoc across the Outer Systems. Phoron, as beneficial as it is, is still unknown to us - and its dangers even more so. Even space itself is a cruel, uncaring mistress that countless others have lost their lives in. This is the universe of Today.
