Stellar Expanse

From Create Your Own Story

Sliding soundlessly back into real-space, the Babylon Armada glided across the Sylus Expanse, in search of a new place, anywhere to call home. Home... it felt so strange saying that word, almost as though it had lost all meaning. Home seemed like a mystical place of legend by now, something that even with the cryo pods, felt like it was long gone. Long gone it was, thanks In no small part to the treacherous Levant and the GREAT ENEMY of whom they conspired with.

Foreshadowed by the sudden disappearance of first ships, then entire fleets. Earth command began to lose contact with every colony outside of the solar system, until at last, the Amorites came lumbering out of the void. Great gargantuan spacecraft crept into the Sol system, decimating everything and everyone in its path, completely unstoppable. A listening post on Pluto was entirely vaporized, the He-3 mines on Saturn and Jupiter were left in ruins, and the dome cities of Mars were now debris.

It was the year 2313 when the last space station had fallen, leaving the Amorites to set their sight on Earth, the only resistance being a few defiant civilian fighters and freighters standing in their path. The United Nations Defense Council ordered any and all remaining Naval vessels to form in a cluster around the Earth, it was imperative that the GREAT ENEMY was delayed as long as possible. An obscure scientist suddenly rose to prominence when he offered a potential way to save the planet; Dr Erich, a xenoarcheologist, believed that he could reverse engineer tech from a dead alien race to produce a hard-light shield around the entire planet.
