The Battle for Terra

by Haravikk of Project Magma

The Year is 5024 and the Galaxy is not what it once was.

In 2105 the alliance of man - an alliance of every country in the world - developed 'Sub-Tachyon' technology, allowing them to travel to the nearby solar system of Alpha Centauri.

Fifty years later, the twenty star systems surrounding Sol - the star system containing Terra - had been colonised. Man was in it's Golden Age.

It didn't stop there though, five years later the 'Hyper-Drive' was invented allowing even faster space travel. Hundreds of planets were colonised in the hundred years to come.

Then the insurrection began.

The 'Outer-rim' territories of the galaxy - rich in minerals and precious gases used for the Hyper Drive - were being exploited. The Core worlds of the alliance of man - later renamed the Terran Navy - had been mining the resources of the Outer-rim and 'neglecting' the task of paying the Outer-rim workers who mined there. The workers became angry, hungry and led a calculated inserruction against the Terran Navy, capturing the vessels around their planets and pushing their way in toward Earth.

The war has been raging for almost three millenia and still the Terran Navy will not give in.

The rebels have been forced to move from planet-to-planet in a desperate attempt to stay alive. To this day there is only twelve rebel sympathetic systems left to fight against the many hundreds of worlds strong Terran Navy.

The rebels have eventually managed to push their way far enough into the core worlds to launch a desperate strike against:

Terra
