Brief human history

In the year 2052, humanity has discovered a method in which they can curve space and time, thus effectively opening the doors to the stars. 12 Year’s later, the project “New Home” was deemed a success when the planet Mars was completely teraformed in less than 8 moth’s using a new technology called MCM (Molecular Convergent Matrix) that effectively used solar energy to convert one tip of molecules into another. Suddenly humanity found itself able to stop war and ethnic differences.

So in the summer of 2087 a global summit was called upon and all the nations agreed to unite under one banner and fulfill the age long dream of living among the stars. This alliance was then named the UNDSE. However radical factions steel existed but they went into hiding and will not appear in the world stage for several centuries.

The UNDSE

It stands for United Nations Deep Space Exploration. It was founded in the year 2087 when all the nations united to begin terraforming other planets in the solar system and starting whit the seconded generation of interstellar engines that were launch in 2124 other world’s beyond the sun. Another article that was agreed upon in the first summit was that all calendars from then onwards were to remain synchronized whit the exiting one on Earth.

After 450 years, in October 2574 a second summit was called upon, only this time it was whit all the world’s that have been colonized that now had there own form of government. 523 member worlds were present and the commissioning of a defense fleet was talked about. The original name will be kept as a reminder of everyone’s point of origin.

Another point of interest was the different evolutionary path’s that humanity took. The terraforming process was only 95% accurate to the original Earth on the majorety of the world's, thus living on different world’s created different humans. There were cataloged 12 specific variations that ranged from Heavy / Lighter gravity worlders (Planet Zurenter that was 241 Light-years away from Earth held the highest record of 3.7G compared to the normal 1G, while Planet Ju'r 64 Light-years away from Earth held the lowest record of 0.6G) to Low Atmosphere worlders (Planet Yune that was 87 Light-years away from Earth held the record of 0.55 atmospheres [On the top of Mount Everest, it's about 0.29 of sea level]). New right’s had to be agreed upon since the old laws dictated by the Geneva Convention were not as flexible.

While the majority agreed upon that all sentient species that have their original roots from Earth were to be treated equally regardless of their differences, there were a few member worlds that wanted special treatment for their 'Purity' (They lived on planets that were 100% terraformed). In order to reach consensuses a vote was cast and the result was 92% in favor of equality. Historians argue that this is the moment when the old rivalry has been reawakened since Earth was among those in favor of equality. 12 year’s after the summit, small research vessels, explorers, cargo ships, mining expeditions began disappearing but the time between each disappearances varied and at the time they were labeled as accident’s.

Because of the numerous accidents in the last few decades, in 2625 the first defense fleet was commissioned whit 23 ATILA Class Battleships accompanied by 14 MIRN Curser’s. Their main objective was to protect / supervise other commercial fleets or destroy asteroid’s that were damaging different satellite’s or research stations, a phenomenon that was becoming more frequent. In the fallowing years 6 more fleets were commissioned.

A third summit was programmed in the year 2752 to present all the achievement’s that were made since the last meeting and discuss future plans. It was supposed to take place on planet Earth to commemorate 700 years since humanity was able to freely travel across the known universe however several armed commandos attacked during the celebration clamming to be the true son’s and daughter’s of a time long since forgotten. Before they were neutralized, 85 representatives were wounded and 73 killed during the attack. Surprisingly the 42 member’s that spoke against the treaty in 2574 were absent and when call in for questioning there leaders and a good portion of their military and scientific community’s were gone. The remaining civilians and whatever was left of there military were governed by highly sophisticated AI that was posing as humans. A galactic hunt was ordered and all the fleets were recalled for immediate retrofitting.

In 2754, the 5th Fleet encountered in a remote sector of the galaxy several hundred destroyed ships. They were dated to the mysteries disapirente that started in 2586; 2 weeks later they discovered a massive fleet that didn’t belong to the UNDSE but was of human design, their final message sent to the other fleets was that they were attempting peacefully communications whit the mysteries fleet. A cloaked recognizance probe discovered the remains of the 5th fleet a few days later, it presented severe battle damage and the flagship’s outer hull was painted whit the same symbol that the commandos had.  The old axe of war was uncovered again after 700 years of peace, conflict’s appeared across the galaxy and they lasted until 2785 when a new enemy appeared and took advantage of the dispute between humanity.

In February 23 2785, on the outer age of the galaxy, humans discovered that they were not alone. A new sentient species was discovered that was either as advanced as or greater than humanity and so a peaceful greeting was attempted. This however was greeted by a declaration of war and a systematic eradication of the outer colonies. The only thing slowing the advancing creatures named Sporr was the program Planetary Guardians enacted in 2778 by the UNDSE whit the help of Professor Iona that invented the NAM system (Neuron Amplification Matrix) and Colonel Jackson Wars (The first human capable of physically manipulating matter on a sub molecular level which was the faundationfor the NAM).

In 2788 the UNDSE orderd the creation and building the most advanced and versatile weapons platform in history, Cod Name: New Horizon and it was to be built in Sector 274#3 Milky Way Galaxy, Colonie 378 (R&D)

Colonel Jackson Wars

Age: 29 years. Born on ??? (Genetic maping sugests the 8th) of January 2764 . Since the enact of 2574 couples from different human evolutionary stages were common, however specific genes were incompatible whit other’s.

Genetic analysis indicates that his parent’s were of:

Father (Heavy Gravity  worlder from Zurenter)

Mother (Rare case of original human DNA whit a increased neuron synaptic system)

First case of offspring between 2 incompatible genomes.

Exact data is unobtainable. He was born in the Central European continent and in 2764 an undiscovered faultline in that region became active causing an earthquake of 7.5 on the Richter scale. He was the only survivor in the hospital, discovered 3 days after the calamity. He was raised in an orphanage like many other children because of this calamity. In 2769 he was adopted by an old couple that was involved in humanitarian aid. In 2772 he discovers his abilities to physically create and maintain shield’s by stopping a collapsing building from killing a group of children, he continued to help others whit this new found ability.

On the 12 of September 2773 he stops a group of armed humans from killing a innocent bystander while visiting the UNDSE Capitol on Earth. The same day a terrorist attack kills’s 3000 people gather in the Capitol Central Park, out of them 1200  were the children that survived the 2764 earthquake including his adopted parent’s (It was a day comemorated for thous that died). He is adopted again by Major Renolds of the 1st regiment DeathWach, ironically being the bystander he saved and after several days of morning he decides to join the UNDSE to protect others from sheering the same fate, he enrolls in 2774. Major Renolds wife, Professor Iona is intrigued by his ability and whit his permission makes a neuroimaging of his synapses to identify how he is able to manipulate matter. Because of his abilities, he is sent to different rescue missions in military active zones, thus saving thousand’s across several planets displaying a military cunning that bafells the UNDSE and thus claiming the chain of command quickly . He was the first in history to reach the rank of Colonel at the age of 20 receiving several dozen medals; however he is also court-martialed 5 times for disrespecting the chain of command in several combat situations. He doesn’t receive punishment since he completed the mission’s objective and also refusing to retreat in several situations before everyone else, thus saving lives and gaining the respect of his brothers in arms.

In 2781 he helps his adopted mother in the program: Planetary Guardians and is the first to test the MPCE’s. During this time he is sent to different colonies for training in all know forms of combat. Along the way he also discovers that the range of his ability’s is far greater than initially anticipated. A thorough analysis indicates that he is able to absorb matter thru his shield thus rendering it’s limitations to how much force was exerted on its surface. In theory the stronger the force that impacted the shield, the stronger it will become. Tests performed on the synthetic NAM system indicated a limit of 700MT force limit. Actual test on the subject were denied by both the Professor and the UNDSE council stipulating the 2574 article.

In 2786 he is diploid in the second generation of MPCE whit the Battle Group Odin’s Light in an attempt to push back the invading alien forces. While sustaining heavy damage, the battle group was able to repel the attack and returned whit more than 85% of its crew because of the Planetary Guardians program. Funds were reallocated in order to create more guardians.
