== Storyline and plot == In the year 2600 much of the [[Earth]]'s population have left their home world and formed colonies on the world's of the Besalius [[binary star]] system. All seemed peaceful in these fledgling colonies but as the last shuttle arrived in 2602 they were attacked by a terrifying [[Extraterrestrial life in popular culture|alien]] race that would be nicknamed "The Breed". These attacks seemed to be random with little or no thought or [[logic]], but they were devastating nevertheless. Under such an assault the colonies had no choice but to send out a distress call to [[Earth]]. In 2603 [[Earth]]'s collective [[military]], known as the United [[Space]] Corps, mobilized a formidable fleet of attack cruisers in answer to the growing Breed threat, putting their very best and brightest at the helm. These ships now made a year-long trip to the Besalius System β hoping that they would not arrive too late. Every cruiser was equipped with the latest technology and weapons, as well as being fully stocked with a compliment of ground assault vehicles and fighter craft. Within their vast hulls, each cruiser also housed an array of [[Genetics|genetic]] gestation pods, capable of growing a constant supply of ground forces β known as [[grunt]]s (''Genetically Revived Universal Tactical Sentient''). Fiercely loyal, bred for combat and totally expendable, the Grunts were the hardened backbone of the USC [[military]]. After their year-long journey the fleet arrived at Besalius in 2604 and swiftly engaged the Breed presence across the system. The battle was long and hard, as the Breed did not give up the system without a fight; their lack of intelligence was more than compensated by their ferocious nature in battle. This conflict with the Breed would come to be known as the ''Colony War''. The [[humans]] resources were drastically drained during this rigorous fight and the USC forces are stretched to breaking point. In 2624 the USC forces claimed victory in Besalius, but it was not without cost β the colonies had been devastated and the fleet badly damaged to a point that only the USC ''Darwin'' was capable of making the journey back to Earth. Captained by Saul Richter (A [[legend]] now with over two hundred victories against the Breed under his belt) war weary and battle scarred, the ship and remaining crew began their return journey. In 2625 that the victorious veterans of Besalius finally returned home expecting a heroes' welcome. Instead, the crew of the ''Darwin'' found their world on fire, that in their 20 year absence, the Breed had conquered [[Earth]]. The Colony War on Besalius was nothing more than a diversionary tactic β a plan to pull the bulk of Earth's defense forces away, leaving it ripe for invasion. The [[human]] population had been enslaved or devastated, the survivors had been enslaved by the Breed in forced labor camps. But humankind was not quite ready to go into the darkness just yet. The USC ''Darwin'' quickly moved into orbit around the Earth and remained there under the cover of a cloaking device. Captain Richter began to order "surgical strikes" upon key enemy targets. The Breed were still recovering from their war on Earth and had not yet regrouped their infrastructure. As such, they could not organize a solid defense against such subterfuge. Eventually the crew of the ''Darwin'' managed to link up with the human resistance under the command of one ''Carla Alvarez'', their charismatic leader. Between the hidden USC ''Darwin'' and Carla's fighters the desperate soldiers only hoped that they could turn the tide, and one day win back Earth for the human race.
