*As humanity's armies struggled to keep the frontier from Praetorian incursion, it's civilian population became engulfed in a bloody civil war over their civilization's ruins before achieving a tenuous peace in which many survivors attempted to form colonies, all the while keeping a watchful eye on the east. | *As humanity's armies struggled to keep the frontier from Praetorian incursion, it's civilian population became engulfed in a bloody civil war over their civilization's ruins before achieving a tenuous peace in which many survivors attempted to form colonies, all the while keeping a watchful eye on the east. | ||
*To manage governance across the scattered human colonies as well as to ensure their security from warlords and other threats, the Protectorate is established, and array stations to maintain communications with these colonies are constructed in a defense program overseen by the Protectorate's higher-ups known as the "Iron Line". | *To manage governance across the scattered human colonies as well as to ensure their security from warlords and other threats, the Protectorate is established, and array stations to maintain communications with these colonies are constructed in a defense program overseen by the Protectorate's higher-ups known as the "Iron Line". | ||
*In Europe, it is believed that a Permutative Hull known the Terraformer was created, and tasked with overseeing an experimental project involving nanomachines that would convert matter into nano-mechanical surrogates, allowing the Praetorians the manipulation of matter on extremely small scales. In light of this project, the Overmind Hull initiated a series of campaigns against human settlements beyond the Iron Line to claim more ground for the Terraformer's operations. As a result, the Praetorians begin swarming across the wastelands, aggressively seeking out and attacking human occupied territories. | *In Europe, it is believed that a Permutative Hull known the Terraformer was created, and tasked with overseeing an experimental project involving the use of nanomachines that would convert matter into nano-mechanical surrogates, allowing the Praetorians the manipulation of matter on extremely small scales.
