Description
For many centuries, ever since we first gazed up into the sky, Humanity has thought that we were alone in the universe, we were wrong. Humanity really first took to the stars nearly 5 centuries ago, 493 years to be exact, in the year 2183, when we sent out our first ships capable of interstellar travel. We would learn much about the Milky Way and we would spread, now that we had found suitable hunting grounds and new wondrous world. Our expansion would stop in 2333, when we would meet our first alien race, the first, but not the last.
Our encounter with the Nah’ni, a mysterious Insectoid race, would leave us changed, not just due to the revelation that we were not alone. The Nah’ni were and still are a peaceful species, they were rather kind and open, even towards outsiders. This openness led certain members within the United Nations of Earth to think they were weak and easy for pickings. They attacked the Nah’ni Imperium and were rebuffed with ease, minimal casualties on either side. The effects of that decision, to attack the Nah’ni, would change humanity forever.
The decision to attack the only species other than our own that was capable of space travel that we had met, was met with displeasure, especially with how it ended. The different ideological groups would fight, fight for many years, and then two distinct groups would be formed, the Martian Union and the Terran Confederacy. Since the great split between Humanity, we have discovered many other species and spacefaring nations, and we have also gotten into many wars and conflicts.
150 years ago a neutral zone was established to discuss political matters peacefully. That neutral zone is Omega Station; it is located in a solar system that lays perfectly center where the borders of all the nations belonging to the major powers intersect. It is considered a nation and sovereignty in its own right mostly separate from the rules and prejudices of the other nations. The Station itself is an ancient construct, the remnants of a nearly extinct race whose empire is only mentioned in legends, even in the records of some of the oldest races and nations.
Since it was made the capital of the neutral zone, and formally named, it has always been run by an Administrator, to ensure it runs well and remains peaceful. The First Administrator was simply known as the Caretaker, he was the only living being on the Station, when it was first discovered, long ago. Since then the Administrator has been elected and chosen by a council formed from the major powers. Though every Administrator is an accomplished and decorated being, they are more often than not those who have fallen from grace or such with those in power in their nation. It has been around a century and a half since this was put into practice and a new Administrator, the 15th, is about to take command of the Station.
