Man on the Moon
Terran Prelude:
Mankind has always been it’s worst enemy...
2020, January: Following a serious shortage of oil, the Russian Federation air-lifts shock troopers into Saudi-Arabia, seizing the oil fields. The United States of America respond by sending troops to help their Saudi allies to fend off this Russian incursion. This Crisis would eventually escalate to encompass the whole world...
2022, March: World War 3 is nearing it’s climax. The Russian Federation is gaining the upper hand, having added Germany to it’s protectorates. American ‘black’ project started, it’s goal to have Americans colonise the nearest stellar, and so win additional resources. The project is given the name ‘Noah’.
2023, April: ‘Noah’s Ark’ starts it’s long journey, it’s 10,000 strong crew of scientists in cryo-hybernation.
2025, August: The Project building is raided by Russian commandos. All records of ‘Noah’ are destroyed.
2029, December: The ‘Noah’s Ark’ ends it’s long journey through the cold depths of space and lands on the Stellar that the colonists name ‘Landfall’. A small community soon develops. Population is expanded rapidly by using experimental cloning tanks. The community , having lost contact with Earth, assumes independence. The Terran Protectorate is born, a Technologically oriented society for the free exchange of information.
2031, July: During an oil-drilling operation, scientists stumble across a long, abandoned Alien settlement, some 100 below the ground. Archaeological researchers start searching for artifacts.
2031, August: Alien technology is discovered at a new drilling site. A warp coil is salvaged from the remains of an alien ship. Reverse-Engineering of Alien Technology begins.
2032, June: Reverse-Engineering process complete. The scientists integrate a warp coil into the ‘Noah’s Ark’.
2032, July: For the first time for 9 years, Terran Protectorate forces enter the Sol system. Seeing that Earth was still engaged in the War, they establish ‘Luna 1’, a cloaked space station in orbit of Earth. It’s goal is to observe the progress of the war on Earth. The scientists decide not to report to the remnants of government of their discoveries, realising that that would mean interstellar war between the remaining factions...
2032, May: Centauri 1, a space station in the orbit of Landfall, is created. It’s function is to be home to the most skilled engineers, to be the Terran Protectorates main shipyards and outfitting centre. As warp technology becomes cheaper, Terran ships begin to colonise surrounding space, helping prosperity of the Protectorate to rise rapidly. Terran exploration ships start exploring systems further away from Centauri and Sol...
2032, December: ... and find an Alien civilisation in the northern quadrant of the galaxy, calling themselves the Qua’Lari. Trade starts between the two species, and a Treaty is signed, for mutual Military protection.
2034, October: The drawbacks of the experimental cloning tanks used in the first colonisation of Centauri were soon apparent as some of the clones appeared to have been mentally unfit for life. These misfits capture the original cloning vats, hijack a warp capable ship, and found their own Faction, the Terran Dominion. The Dominion, being as advanced as the protectorate, start their own campaign, the goal being the total destruction of the protectorate and the Qua’Lari. With the latest in cloning and shipbuilding Technology, they start building a Warfleet, their base still a secret.
2034, November: Protectorate engineers finish constructing a prototype for a planetary cloaking system, and install it around earth, concealing their Birthplace from watchful eyes.
2036, February: The Dominion’s warfleet is finished, and launches a surprise attack against Northstar in the Polaris system. The Protectorates fleets and colonies in total chaos, the Polaris defence fleet is Routed, and Dominion forces occupy Northstar. The protectorate sends a distress call to the Qua’Lari, only to be told that other ‘more important’ matters are occupying their fleet. A handful of fighters are sent to terran space to assist the protectorate.

Anyway, I haven’t been able to upload anything from school, and the telekom messed up my
DSL installation again, so the Graphics thing will have to wait another couple of weeks...

This Vid is a bit like my beast; extremely long, and best enjoyed with a mouthful of nuts.
