United Earth Coalition

The United Earth Coalition, also referred to as the UEC, is the main human faction in the series and is one of the three main alliances behind the Central Earth Republic and The Hierarchy.

History
In 2270, the Human race began the colonisation of their neighbouring star systems after the discovery of technology that allowed them to generate so-called “Warp Tunnels”, allowing them to reach pseudo-FTL speeds. Proclaiming the United Earth Coalition, humanity expanded at breakneck speeds establishing a small, but unified, colonial empire. In 2450, the Human colony of Cain Primus was faced with an incoming object they assumed to be an asteroid. Faced with little options, they opened fire and destroyed the object. Unbeknownst to the UEC, the object was a vessel belonging to the Chlorophyllian Hegemony. This would trigger a military response from the Chlorophyllians’ allies in the Hierarchy; a coalition of several extraterrestrial races. The Humans found themselves under attack; first on Cain Primus by the Chloropyllians, then on Ark by the Nebulan Empire. The most crippling loss was the industrial world of New America, seized by the Leneth Hive. By 2543, the war led to Humanity waging a desperate war against the Hierarchy’s superior technology.
