It is the year 711 AT, dating from the the arrival of the ESS Starfall upon the colony world of Voltumnus. It was supposed to be a grand new beginning, another world claimed for the glory of the Terran Empire. But within ten years, the message sent to humanity's home worlds received only static in reply.
Expansion across the face of the beautiful and cruel planet brought conflict with its mysterious nomadic natives, the Sessuyan. The pale beings wielded forces beyond understanding or logic, nothing short of true magic. Strange and terrible animals followed their commands unhesitatingly.
Centuries of war ensued, the human city of Titania expanding sporadically between bouts of desperate violence against the Sessuyan. House Petakova and House Stocklin, the factions that vyed for leadership over Titania, grew apart - Petakova suggesting adaptation to their new deadly world and Stocklin suggesting a reconnection to the protection of the Terran Empire.
Everything changed when one man discovered the secrets of magic - and that they worked for humanity as well. Jacob Linden worked in silence and secrecy to prepare his people until, in the year 690, the Sessuyan were faced with an enemy that could wield their own advantage against them. Three years of total war engulfed the world, decimating both sides as a battle for land became a battle for mere survival. In 693, with humanity poised on the edge of victory, a truce was signed. Natives and settlers would share Voltumnus, living together.
Uneasy peace has reigned since, and with it, prosperity. Multiple smaller settlements have risen in semi-lawless lands outside of Titania itself. Over the last year, the settlers have weathered disaster and revolution alike, narrowly avoiding a new outbreak of war. In defiance of their checkered history, the humans and Sessuyan have partnered in an ambitious gesture: a colony upon Voltumnus's moon, Pomona. In Petakova's eyes, it promises a new era of interspecies cooperation; in Stocklin's eyes, it promises a new era of space exploration.
The official opening of the colony is nigh. But after that, who can say what comes next...?
