During the 22nd century, the human race has expanded, flourished. Space age technology is now considered by many to be the designs of yesteryear. The manipulation of time and space is where the thoughts of scientists’ and corporations lie.
Corporations have also flourished in these past 150 years. Becoming legally indestructible and physically, vaster and quicker spreading than a plague. The year rests on 2142 and events take us back to the home world of the human race. Earth is now a hive of corporate activity and urban sprawl with little of its natural resources left in existence or un-exploited. New technology, namely the development of the Seismic Turbulence Manipulator, has allowed Earth to remain intact. Without her natural resources and with such a great strain placed upon her by us humans, scientists had predicted her inward implosion.
That had been our stimulus for moving off world. That is of course, those who had the financial ability to do so. Many Lower class citizens joined the army just so they could leave Earth. The finest of Earth’s Middle class and all of the Upper class were either given their ticket for free or were able to pay.
Earth’s class system was created with financial status in mind, nothing else. Corporations had abolished the old style of government and created a High Council, with politicians traded and manipulated by the Corporations. Enough about that for now, I seem to be getting a bit off field.
The Great Competition
The next big step for the human race was to either travel beyond their solar system or inter-dimensions. These prospects were a source of great concern and almost fear in the Army. Many were unwilling to fight or travel far from the lands they knew. Their morale was at a history low.
The High Council decided that the army needed heroes, inspirational and competent leaders. It was decided that these
heroes were to come from the same place most soldiers had, Earth’s lower class. The corporations, seeking to increase
their influence began to invest time and effort into creating these heroes. Unorthodox methods were required because the
things which make heroes weren’t allowed to occur in the Lower class.
Union Corporation, held a majority in infrastructure, synthetics, mining, military production and scientific
development. Union was Earth’s dominant corporation and a major figure in off world markets. This advantage allowed
them to develop a device which was nicknamed SAVIOUR.
Saviour was able to link the minds of the citizens which Union chose with the experiences of heroes from past times across different dimensions. Which ones they would link with was determined by their Assimilation Ratio or AR.
This technology was very experimental but Union Corp. was willing to take risks in order to create heroes first.
