Born for service, trained for war — today, you become a peacekeeper of the Empire. |
Intergalactic U.P.F Peacekeepers 14 August 2389 The year is 2389. Humanity has made countless technological and social progresses, including free clean renewable energy, world peace, eradicating world hunger, and has scaled to a tier 2 civilization on the Kardashev scale. Humanity is well on its way to becoming a tier 3 civilization and has claimed many more scientific and societal advancements. But the most important one of all — faster-than-light travel — has not only been achieved but surpassed, with spaceships that can instantly teleport anywhere in our entire local star sector spanning 1.5 light years in diameter, thanks to a complicated network of ever-expanding planetary-wide installations called arrays. Earth has advanced beyond its limited reach into the cosmos and put behind its tens of thousands of years of history, uniting as one to face the vast and terrifying unknown void. What were once warring countries are now at peace; former foes are now friends. No man is of a particular planet, country, race, family, or religion — all are united under one banner: the human planetary empire. The empire spreads to a gargantuan size, from Mercury to our nearest neighbor star, Proxima Centauri. It has grown to be one of the biggest empires in the whole trans-galactic community. Cities are now the size of former countries. Trillions of humans are part of the empire, and countless alien races have made contact with humanity. Many of them are now allied with humans, and the empire has entered a peaceful era. It is your job as a United Planetary Front peacekeeper to maintain that peace. Indeed, peace comes at a price. Not every sentient species is peaceful. Many are power-hungry barbarian hordes of horrendous killing machines, relentlessly attempting to destroy anything in their path. And it is you that stands before them to protect those who cannot defend themselves — to protect the fatherland, its borders, its ideals, its people, your people, your home, your empire. You were born as a cadet into the U.P.F training facility itself, chosen while still in your mother's belly. She was overcome with joy to have the privilege to give up a son for the glory of the human empire. From as far back as you can remember, you’ve been programmed to know every exercise, every rule, every protocol. All of this has been hardwired into you since birth. You have been trained for 20 years in almost machine-like constant protocols and rules. It will finally be put to use as you are deployed along with your fellow peacekeepers aboard a brand-new line of Protector-class U.P.F ships. There you will scour the vast empire looking for any threats — enemy ships, raiders, pirates, dangerous xenos, and other menaces to the empire. |
