The stars are littered with the bones of the past. Humans were careless. Humanity was rich and prosperous and dreamed of great things, only to find the promise of abundance turn to ash. The Great Starving shattered dreams, scattering broken fleets and fractured nations across the dark. What rose in its wake were not shining utopias, but war-clans and hungry dominions, each armed with cold fury and desperation. Planets burn, the remains of cities rot beneath overgrown forests, and armies of tanks grind across barren rock leaving only desolation in their wake. In this dark future, survival is war, and war is ceaseless.
