<section id="bg_holocaust" title="The holocaust">
Land, resources, religion, ideology, colour of skin, power... any cause is worth it. A fight, a war. It could be now, it could be tomorrow. Does it really matter? In the end, the result is all the same: devasted cities, wastelands, undrinkable water, polluted soil and scattered survivors. After years of internal conflicts and devastating wars humanity has finally achieved its ultimate goal: the devastation of its home planet, Earth. What hope is there for those faced with an impossible task: survival on a radioactive piece of rock which could collapse into space dust at any time. The only option left for the remaining survivors of the holocaust: flee to the stars in the hope of finding a new home and rebuilding their civilisation.

<section id="bg_journey" title="The long journey">
Hundreds of ships were launched into deep space. Their hope: finding a suitable planet, one that can sustain life as they knew it, one where they could settle and rebuild, one that they might take better care of than the previous one. They searched for years for such harbor, safe haven.Going deeper and deeper into the galaxy. Where noone has gone before.

<section id="bg_arrival" title="The arrival">
As commandant of a small group of colonists you've finally managed to find a planet matching the required parameters and you're about to start rebuilding on it. It will be up to you to make it grow into a new galactic empire within a hostile universe. To achieve that goal you'll have to find allies among the other Earth refugees who settled in the neighbouring star systems and fight those willing to spoil your hard work.
<br/>
It will also be up to you to provide your citizens with what they might need and encourage the scientists of the expedition in their research to achieve new technological breakthroughs. It will be up to you to fufill Earth's legacy...
