BASIC STORYLINE/ PLOT/ SETTING:
Under the impression humanity was alone in the galaxy, humankind thrived - until the 23th century. It was in the year 2279 AD that alien races from across the galaxy began appearing within the boundaries of human space. These various aliens brought with them new illnesses, weapons and technology which laid waste to the universe as humans knew it.
It is now the 25th century and the galaxy has become a cesspool of humans, aliens, zombies, mutants, and every other living - and nonliving - species known to exist (and a few unknown as well). The galaxy is now inhabited by those from the farthest reaches of time and space. The earth and most planets in the solar system have become smoldering wastelands of sand, mud, ice, water, ash, fire, blood, sweat and war...
