The Aurorian Fleet
The new age of peace and prosperity was a failure.
The discoveries that made faster-than-light travel possible brought us untold riches and unknown dangers.
The alien warships appeared without warning and decimated most of the colony worlds within hours. There was no stopping the alien menace.
The Great War was upon us.
But we beat them. The human race banded together into a powerful Confederation of Worlds, whose combined military was enough to turn the tide of the War.
Within eight years, the enigmatic alien marauders were extinct.
But the elite and powerful members of the Confederation were reluctant to give up their power after the end of the War, and began a rule of oppression and tyranny, aided by the powerful Confederation Navy.
They exploited the outer colony planets for the benefit of the wealthy Core worlds, stripping them of their resources and coercing the colonists into forced labor. This reign lasted for fifteen years; then the insurrection began.
The outer colonies, weary of the Confederation's practices of exploiting their land and denying them any representation in the Senate, formed an organized rebellion aimed at destroying their oppressors.
In time, their pitiful forces grew, with the aid of sympathetic corporations, into a formidable navy.
The Galactic Civil War still rages on and no end is in sight.
