Te history o humanity has ever been written in words o blood. Te only difference in this
new age is the size o our ledger. Where once petty kings and their generals vied or control o
mere nations, now corporations wipe out whole species or profit. As enlightened as we like to
think we are, violence remains our most utilised tool, either driving or underpinning each o our
achievements – ofen both.
Dr. Gayle Simmonds – a seminar on human evolution, prior to the Nexus Psi incident

With the invention o the McKinley Drive, humanity pushed out into the stars on a bold voyage o
discovery. What we ound was not the untamed, deserted rontier that we had expected but rather
an intricate and densely populated galaxy composed o multitudinous civilisations, both young and
ancient, which had been co-existing in an uneasy détente or centuries.
Trust into this arena, humanity had to adapt quickly. Diplomacy became the s
econd
most populous
second
 proession
 proe
ssion
in the nascent huma
n
galactic empir
e,
and we slowl
y
insin
uated
oursel
ves
into the complex
human
empire,
slowly insinuated ourselves
web o politics, intrigue and espionage that made up the wider galaxy, all the while exploring and
testing the boundaries o both our endurance and the patience o others.
When that patience broke, we called upon the first most populous proession in our new realm – the
military. For as vital to Galactic Relations as negotiation, trade and politics are, one thing remains
more important still – war.
War is the orce that shapes borders when diplomacy ails, settles disputes when bargaining is o no
use, and establishes credentials when credence i
s
lost. Te other races o the galaxy tolerated us when
is
we came to them in riendship, but they took notice o us when we went on the warpath.

engagements ought out by their uturistic

or something in between – are represented
by Mantic’s range o 30mm scale miniatures,
and all o the action takes place on a table-
top battlefield. It is up to the players to use
all o their wits to make the tactical decisions
required to win the game, with the help o the
dice to represent the random element o war
