Humanity has long since spread from Earth, colonizing numerous nearby planets, moons, and even neighboring star systems. A united, peaceful expansion enjoyed by all of humankind. But those days are gone. Billions of years have passed since the first ships left Earth, stars have burned out and been replaced, the colonies lost or divided, rising anew thousands of times in history; now each one is united on its own surface, but every colony of mankind is isolated from the others. Earth has just overcome a cataclysm, Mars has undergone an uprising, the colonies across other stars are gone. Only Sol has shined forever. The focus shifts to the moons of Saturn, and those who reside there. Colonized eons ago from select groups of settlers from Earth and Mars, the six inhabited moons of Iedra, Feirro, Eympas, Alrotha, Torhindred, Titan, and Lyriptus- formerly entitled Enceladus, Mimas, Tethys, Dione, Rhea, Titan, and Iapetus- each stand alone, in a perpetual feud started long ago. Some care not at all for the others one way or another. Some are too weak to meddle in the affairs of their neighbors. Some are so strong they are feared. Others still seek domination, and will do whatever they can to get it. Sol's light shines on the fatherworld, far away. Tensions only rise. Unity or division? Is there a difference? When the clouds loose the lightning, who will know from where and why it strikes?
In the Space Century (SC), humans have successfully colonized the entire solar system, with colonies built on moons, asteroids, and orbiting space stations. However, the vast expansion into space has led to tensions between the core Earth colonies and those on outer planets like Mars, Jupiter, and beyond.
Each colony struggles with overpopulation, scarcity of resources, and harsh living conditions. Discrimination against outer colonies by those from Earth has created a powder keg of animosity that's on the verge of exploding into interplanetary warfare.
The solar system is a divided realm where nationalism, corporate greed, and political control exacerbate tensions. Every colony has its own government, military, and technology, though some rely heavily on Earth's technology, others on their own advancements.
