Detecting an S.O.S signal sent out by the colony, the Militia fleet investigates the site, clashing with IMC forces in the town. The IMC uses this opportunity to test out their new BRD-01 Spectre combat drones, humanoid robots designed to replace traditional infantry, in a massacre of the town. Upon further inspection, it is realised that the colony is created out of the remains of IMS Odyssey, the former IMC flagship during the Titan Wars that disappeared during a mutiny conducted by Executive Officer James MacAllan. Tracking the remains of the fleet that survived the battle, the IMC stumble upon a hidden colony in a believed-unexplored region of space. The Militia escapes the planet with just enough fuel to last a few weeks. Landing their troops at the site of a refuelling pump supplying their capital ship, the Redeye, IMC and Militia forces fight for control of three Hardpoints that would allow the IMC to maintain their air defence and the Militia to siphon the fuel. On the run for months, the fleet is now running low on fuel and supplies, and has no choice but to conduct a desperate raid on an IMC gas mining world. For fifteen years, the IMC would relentlessly hunt down the Militia and push them to the verge of extinction.įifteen years following the end of the Titan Wars, the 1st Militia Fleet is now being pursued by Vice Admiral of the IMC, Marcus Graves. The war ended in a (presumed) IMC victory, solidifying their presence on the Frontier. Eventually, this led to the Titan Wars, a series of conflicts involving usage of the " Titan" platform - the ultimate evolution of modern-day powered exoskeletons.
However, when the IMC returned several decades later to claim eminent domain over the Frontier's land, people and resources, the people of the Frontier united as the Frontier Militia, utilising guerilla and terrorist actions to further their cause. Over time, life continued on the Frontier largely independant from the Core Systems.
Eventually, the IMC withdrew this support for several reasons, leaving the colonists stranded without outside assistance for several decades. The Interstellar Manufacturing Corporation originally funded many expeditions to the Frontier, promising veterans of their military campaigns in the " Core Systems" - the region of space containing the IMC's inhabited worlds including Earth - free land and other benefits in return for starting up businesses and colonies on the Frontier. Most people will never travel this far away from normal civilization, but for pioneers, explorers, mercenaries, outlaws, and soldiers - the Frontier offers both adventure and opportunity. It contains many well-known and inhabited solar systems, but many more worlds remain uncharted. Humanity lives in the deepest reaches of explored space in a vast region known as The Frontier.
