The year is 2186, the Middle Heavens are in a state of flux that's nearly unheard of since early interstellar travel. Colonies have revolted from their overlords. A cold war between the UA & UPP that has kept everyone on edge. Even once unfalable corporations, like Weyland-Yutani, have struggled to maintain profits, people, and stop the leaking of information as projects and black sites fail. In an attempt to unite the worlds and it's people the United Nations proposed that it was time to reunite with our lost families in the Far Spinward Colonies. This multi-national, multi-corporation expedition began a change amoung the people and started to mend old wounds. In the wake of unity and the vacum that was created as larger corporations lost their foot holds the Drassia Union was formed. Founded by scientist, miners, and explorers alike with the goal of advancing technology, knowledge, and Humanity as a whole, not for profit but for the betterment and survival of the species. They've become a poster child for a new age of prosperity.
