This is a story that brings to question the natures of reality, science, and humanity. Earth discovers that the human genome is not unique to our planet, and there are actually hundreds of different races of humans spread throughout the universe, carrying DNA almost identical to ours. The planet is pulled into intergalactic politics. After entering a great, havoc-wreaking, interplanetary war, many Human-occupied planets were devastated while Earth profited greatly. Due to the warlike nature of Earth Humans, Earth became an interplanetary empire under the guise of a democracy. The government renamed the planet Prime Earth, and began colonizing Earth-like planets throughout the galaxy, naming them after their parent state. To control non-Earth humans, Prime Earth established a ruling government called the Human Alliance. Though the Alliance consists of many different races of humans, Earth dominated through a simple understanding: those who challenged would face ultimate destruction. Planet Earth 13 is almost identical to Earth in composition. The Human race which had originally inhabited this planet attempted to resist the Human Alliance and was wiped out. The Alliance terraformed the planet to clean up the messes of war and allow for a new race of Humans to colonize it. Centuries later, the new inhabitants of the planet dwell in a Dark Age, oblivious to the true history of their home, the origin of their people, or their purpose in the universe. Enlightenment is coming, but with it comes danger. Soon, many forces will collide on this planet. It is up to a few special individuals to prepare their home planet for the trials ahead. A Chief, a Warrior, a Lady, and a Beast will rise from obscurity into greatness, but first they will face violent hardships and horrifying truths.
