On the rise and fall of humanity's civilizations there are no words of praise or tears of lamentation from the coldness of the universe it inhabits and the brutal savagery it imposes on its inhabitants. The steady quantitative and qualitative declined the home system has incurred since the collapse of the Wormhole Network and its immediate isolation from Parallel Space travel has reached the tipping point a century ago, a century when the depths of mankind's brutality and desperation were dug deeper in hopes of climbing to the top of the darwinian struggle for survival and supremacy.
The geoengineering systems which abated malthusian pressure from depopulating nations from the Congo Basin to the Fertile Crescent, once great cities falling prey to semi-nomad warbands. The mountainous peaks of Asia Minor, the Caucasus, Persia and Hindu Kush bear cybernetic dictatorships. Shielded by nuclear fallout, genetically engineered rajahs have carved the Indic subcontinent among themselves while unleashing countless abominations upon the world. North of lonesome Tibet and stretching from the once large Caspian Sea to the Pacific is the Great Asia Desert and the lost industry which brought it into being. Archaic neo-imperial polities plague the eastern end of Asia, the greatest of which lays around the Yangtze and Mekong. On the eastern side of the Urals, Siberia, once a refuge and beacon of civilization, now cracks under the weight of overpopulation. From the Urals to the Atlantic, leagues of city states and petty military monarchies waste their much coveted technology in pointless wars against one another. Upon the northern shores of the New World, polities rise and fall one after the other as ambitious warlords try to unite the continent while to their south, constant warfare between techno-tribal societies has rend the continent asunder.
However, underneath the Kessler-dimmed sun, in geodomes long forgotten on the frozen continents of Antarctica, hundreds of millions of mankind's best and brightest tirelessly work to prepare what is to be the greatest undertaking since the beginning of mankind's venture towards the stars. Terra shall once more be reunited, the Solar System soon after, and then the galaxy beyond! And it shall be done under the guidance of the best for so is they duty, so is your duty, you...
