Solar System – Alpha 0.3
***NEW UPDATE 7/25/23***
Long ago, Earth went dark on the same day all existing electronics in the Solar System stopped working. All ships not in orbit fell from the sky.
Humanity quickly descended into chaos as society collapsed, bringing on a new Dark Age. Most of the population succumbed to famine as governments broke down and nations fractured.
Millennia later the Earth and other nearby terraformed worlds are recovering and have entered a new Medieval Era, largely forgetting the accurate history of humanity and the disaster.
Knowledge of the off-world colonies has faded into myths and legends, until one day a derelict ship, carrying a strange elongated race that cannot survive in the gravity well of a planet’s surface, arrived in orbit, offering to transport the humans of the many worlds of the Solar System on trips of conquest to nearby planets in exchange for basic supplies and goods. This technologically advanced but politically neutral faction, which had voyaged from the neighboring star system of Tau Ceti in a generational colony ship, would eventually become known as the Spacer’s Guild to the native rulers of the Solar System and would hold a monopoly on the services of interplanetary travel, cybernetic augmentation, and cloning for many centuries, leading to a system where ground warfare is common between the many habitable worlds yet no aerial combat occurs between space fairing vessels that transport the troops.
