Castaway

It begins in the year, 640.6, 50 years after the last Great War was done between the superpower alliance of Iron Cross and ATLAS. The World is at peace, though there are the occasional hiccups of humanity's hubris of the odd terrorist organisation doing mischief here and there, or the other petty territorial skirmish between small or large nations also here and there.

Despite the organised chaos, it is a much better world than it was prior to that era of peace. Especially in the age of Interstellar Colonisation and Expansion. In which cooperation is very much needed to allow humanity to finally break out it's carapace called, the Solaris System, and finally give their motherland, Earth, a new green and blue friend. Luckily for them however, humanity isn't doing as bad as predicted in the 21st century.

Humanity have expanded and have reached for the stars quite literally. They have colonised and terraformed multiple planets and moons, use the powers of the stars for near infinite energy, created technologies bordering scientific fiction and the supernatural... Yet...

They are alone in the vast stars.

No-one is there, but them. At that point, humanity have accepted the fact that they are truly alone. Though there were times of false alarms, there was none. It has even got to the point of, whether or not to dismantle the large military of humanity if the closest threat they got is among themselves. Not that they would though, humanity of course will keep it's fangs if threatened.

And those fangs were about to be answered, together if whether or not humanity is truly alone in the universe with the presence of one of their colonies, System 698-Beta. Whom is about to witness one hell of a 1st Contact, in the first and most definitely not last, in human history.
