Sol sector, 2200.

Earth is ravaged by war and depleted natural resources. Despite advances in propulsion technology, humankind has failed to reach the nearest star system, Alpha Centauri. What scarce minerals can be found in the Sol system are dominated by emerging pirate factions.

A mysterious wormhole appears in the rings of Saturn with no explanation. Early pioneers venture through and report back the discovery of the star system of Gatopea, an area of space never before observed from Earth's telescopes.

Earth's nations establish the Terran Expeditionary Force, a massive fleet of scientific and naval vessels tasked with breaking out of Sol and establishing a secure and permanent colony in Gatopea. With all hope extinguished of salvaging Earth, the fate of humankind rests in the new frontier...
