The Fall of Earth

Centuries ago humanity was experiencing a Golden Age. Earth was united under the United Sol Government (USG), and from Earth the USG controlled an empire spanning dozens of star systems. During the early years of the Golden Age, malcontents and political dissidents left Earth and the USG to unknown worlds, to make their own way in the galaxy. However one day everything changed...forever. It began when a number of the outer colonies went mysteriously dark, with all communications cutoff and with no ships going from the colonies. Suspicious, but only expecting a minor communication blackout, the USG dispatched ships to investigate. Those did not return, and after days of silence, the USG began to grow concerned. Unfortunately the USG was never given a chance to prepare, as a mysterious alien race struck from the outer colonies, sweeping through every colony in their path. The attack took the USG completely by surprise, and within days every outer colony had fallen to the alien advance. The USG, now in a panic hastily organized a counter-attack, and sent their largest fleet to confront the aliens. The fleet was completely destroyed with no survivors, and even worse, it had not even slowed down the alien advance. For the next few weeks, the USG fought a losing battle against the mysterious aliens, until only a handful of colonies and Earth remained. With their major bases and centers of commerce, industry and research destroyed, the USG made the decision to evacuate their few remaining colonies, and make a stand at Earth. Unfortunately, the USG found that it did not even have time to evacuate the surviving colonies, as the aliens were advancing too quickly. The USG as such was only able to evacuate a few thousand, out of a population of billions of colonists. The evacuation and naval ships retreated to Earth, leaving billions to their fate.

Military: The Commonwealth military is a unified system called the Systems Commonwealth Defence Forces. The SCDF is made of three branches: The Royal Commonwealth Navy, the Royal Commonwealth Army and the Royal Commonwealth Research and Exploration Corps. The RCN is made up of both space and terrestial elements. The RCN fields a fleet of thousands, with all ships armed with a mix of plasma, kinetic, nuclear and antimatter weaponry. The RCN also houses the Royal Commonwealth Marines, a Tier 3 special forces unit that is used for ship defence, commando raids and also as shock infantry, that also fields their own armour and their own gunships. The RCA is an all-volunteer profossional army of millions. The RCA also house the Commonwealth SAS, Tier 1 special forces trained in direct assault, espionage, assassination, recon, orbital, space and terrestial operations. The SAS rigorisly and constantly train. New recruits must have served a minimal five-years in the Regulars or Marines and have to pass a three-week program to ensure they are ready for the intensity that comes with SAS training and field-work.

Defence: All planets are protected by a Geo-Orbital Defence Network, made up of ODP's armed with a Heavy Particle Cannon and 200-megaton nuclear missiles. The more important planets also have in addition to the G.O.D.P. ground-based, camoflauged Magnetic Accelerator Cannons.
