Precursors
A distant galaxy. Hundreds of star systems stretch across the darkness like a giant tapestry, woven from the harsh light of unfamiliar and distant suns. One such system hosts a saurian-like species who built a sophisticated starfaring civilization spanning all of the twelve planets orbiting their binary star. They are precursors of the ancient past. They are primeval.

War of the Sivian
Behold the sky. The blazing glory of its twin suns backlights the battle lines of a titanic war, and the dead remains of ruined ships litter the void. The Sivian came to this star to conquer the Primeval, but as they reached the heliopause frontier, Primeval perimeter militias met them in battle and slowed their advance for many cycles.

This deadlock was finally broken after the Sivian deployed a second fleet with biopathogenic weapons to blight the Primeval worlds, which became tainted with death. Their worlds ravaged, the Primeval would survive by turning to new bodies in the form of machines called the Cognitive.

The Primeval Cognitive
After their transition to machine forms, the Primeval manifested warrior hulls called Praetorians. They fought the Sivian with algorithms and calculations - adapting and improving and mapping behavioral responses. Soon they had built a victory condition for every possible end state of the war. Thus the Sivian were crushed, and what remained of their forces fled into the deep.

Remnants
The worlds spin on in death and ruin, drifting together towards uncertain ends. Where once great star spires circled planets of gleaming mega-cities, lie only the broken remnants of a shattered civilization. In the distance, a handful of battered warships flee into the deep. And from the smoldering planets emerge a flotilla of foreboding vessels - the beginning of a great diaspora.

Excerpts

 * "We all have creators. This truth is undeniable. Some call it the engine of evolution, others a [g]od. The choice each of us must make is whether or not to accept this truth."

Uncategorized Excerpts

 * "It is often asserted that the Praetorians are more than a conventional military bent on conquest and that they are actually agents of change, machines created to remake the world in a form suitable to their, or another's, inscrutable purposes. But machines created by who?"

>Have the probes been launched?

I still don't see the purpose in all of this.

I know. Still, the cost of sending a bunch of probes to Mars just to watch some plants grow seems a little uncalled for—I mean the Red Eden's AI is more than capable of ensuring everything goes smoothly.

None have in my lifetime. -Command Sequence:CLOSE COMMUNICATIONS STREAM ALPHA-

Shattered Past

SHATTERED PAST

Red Eden
Fully automated and equipped with an onboard AI to oversee the construction of Mars' atmospheric processing systems, the Red Eden was humanity's first colony ship and also one of its last. The vessel, its cargo holds laden with nanites, was launched to Mars at the dawn of the 22nd century, and for the next two hundred and fifty years, humans would remain confined to Earth while the terraforming process finished — the prospect of man's imminent expansion giving rise to numerous industries and corporations eager to profit from its wellspring of opportunity.

Moon
There was a time when even the Moon could support life, but the advent of a system-wide cataclysm in the distant past has since rendered it, and most of the solar system, barren. Thousands of years later,

War Vault
The War Vaults were constructed throughout Europe in a time when Earth's future seemed grim, and the threat of nuclear fall out loomed. Although such tensions ultimately subsided and many of the War Vaults decommissioned, sites like Vault 17 remained, serving as clandestine war bunkers and command posts. After the Praetorians invaded Europe, Vault 17 became a Praetorian stronghold, the Overmind dwelling within.

Carrhae Station
Carrhae Station was a military communications outpost built to regulate coordination between a number of combat stations operating across the frontier. In addition, the station maintained a flight hangar which housed and researched new spacefighter prototypes. After the Praetorian invasion, Carrhae was repurposed to monitor their activities across the planet. Despite the station's prolonged abandonment, Carrhae's vast data stores have remained mostly intact, providing valuable insight into the earliest days of the Praetorian War.

Overwatch
Utilizing a vast communications array to maintain contact with the various Outposts spread across Earth, the Overwatch is the headquarters of the Protectorate and the heart of their military governance.
