2235 -- The Beginning
The triumph of humanity has come at last...
It is the year 2235 and humanity stands together as the United Terran Commonwealth and has spread from Terra to the outer reaches of our galaxy. Through the discovery of the slipstream, a river of particles intersecting all parts of known space, the mighty ships of the UTC slip through gateways to establish new colonies, discover new and lucrative resources and police their rapidly expanding empire. To this end, each sector of space laid out by the UTC is watched over by men and women called Sector Marshals, whose mandate it is to protect the interests of Terra, transcending all other concerns...for there are many dangers in the galaxy...
The SYNDICATES: rapacious rascals whose lack of ethical and moral standards allows them the full measure of ancient earth capitalism. In the old days, they were called gangsters...
The SCIONS OF MARS, A Cult from Mars, reinventing history with the goal to reach out to the children of the red planet and topple the rule of Terra. Not far from home, treason lurks...
The INFINITUM, a faction living in rumor and shadow, obsessed by the perfection of their society through the guidance of artificial intelligence and seeking communion with that power to fulfill their ideal of humanity...
And there is the Unknown...the undiscovered!
It is through this turbulent galaxy that the tale of humanity’s survival is told, woven into the backdrop of stars and darkness that is known as The Tapestry of Night!
