Universe at Large
The current year is 2820, common calendar. The sovereign empires of the galaxy at large stretch their tendrils towards the black abyss of space. It has been 35 years since the largest empire, the human Galactic Coalition fissured in two and the Succession War began, lasting a year and resulting the the sovereignty of the Federatsiya Feniksa and the creation of the White Belt, a demilitarized zone zone between the two. In the final days of the war, the Federatsiya Feniksa attempted to fire FFS-Fialetivyy, a super weapon designed to harness the largest W-1 power the galaxy had yet seen, causing an energy cascade that had effects throughout the universe. Its failed firing lead to the fragile peace we see today.
Now the galaxy find itself in the midst of a cold war, fought between government parties and corporations. The smaller empires finding themselves caught between choosing a side or playing both.
Onia
Onia's colonization was swift after the Galactic Coalition's probes found its terrain rich with W-1 and several other vital mineral deposits. During the Succession War it remained under Galactic control, however its remote location meant mobilizing fleets and forces to help defend its garrisons proved difficult, After the war ended it fell under the White Belt Administrations control, where it remains today.
After the devastation wrought on the planet from the war along with the White Belt no longer assigning resources to its expansion and colonization the planet suffered, mass migration from the surface left its colonies either abandoned or sparsely populated.
Dusklight Colony
With the decline of the colonies economy, the White Belt administration sought to encourage migration to its outer rims, bolstering even fading stars such as Dusklight with promises of new lives and riches, although many new migrants to the area come for more reasons than just that. A new influx of fresh faces to the enticing edge of a colony, on the frontiers of space.
