Welcome to Tera-Prime, also referred as Old Earth, now a dystopian world grappling with the consequences of overpopulation, rampant pollution, and dwindling resources. The planetary surface is marred by sprawling mega-cities, their towering skyscrapers casting shadows over crowded slums and polluted landscapes.
 
Billions of inhabitants struggle to survive in a world where resources are scarce, and the air is thick with the toxicity of industrial emissions. Governments and corporations, locked in a perpetual struggle for control, have fueled devastating wars over the last remaining reserves of clean water, arable land, and essential minerals.

With their home world slowly dying and conflict escellading , 3 factions joined together to form a better future. The Mechanist Corporation, the Explorers Guild (now formly known as the Frontier Rangers) and the powerful Shadow government known as the Conclave. These 3 major factions banded together to find hope. They formed the United Federation with a singular goal to leave Tera-Prime. 

In a desperate bid for survival, The United Federation invested a lot of resources into unlocking the  secrets of the mysterious Pylons gateways, ancient structures rumored to lead to a new home. These portals offer a chance at escape from the desolation of Tera-Prime, with brave pioneers risking everything to venture into the unknown.

With the aid of the Mechanists and the Conclave funding, The Pylons were unlocked and the Explorers guild was first through the Pylon. The first expedition lead by Famous Xenoarchaeologist [REDACTED] braved the wilds of Vel-Tera and secured a foothold on the uncharted world.

The United Federation elected Governor Thorne Killian to be responsible for the operation of settling the new planet. Thus creating the government body known as the UCF (United Colony Federation).  With the key support from Old Earth, Governor Killian was able to secure the home city known as Eden. In return he sent precious recourses back through the Pylon, back to Old Earth.

On the Year 0 P.E the fifth wave of reinforcements were en route to Vel-Tera. As the situation on Old Earth deteriorated,  a final migration wave was sent through the Pylons. This fifth wave was the biggest in scale, including a command ship carrying Leader of the United Federation, High Chancellor Sylara. Although due to unforeseen circumstances an abrupt severance cut the link between the Pylons causing catastrophe. There were a few survivors of the fifth wave, but most of the expedition was lost leaving their fate and the fate of Old Earth a mystery.

1 P.E : The Exodus event plunges Vel-Tera into crisis as the pylon network's collapse and isolates the colony from the rest of the United Federation (UF). Panic ensues, but local governance quickly stabilizes the situation, focusing on resource management and infrastructure.

3 P.E : The UCF, now assuming complete control works expand their power and control over the planet. The P.E time standard is formally adopted, marking a new era.

10 P.E : Initial reports of strange fluctuations in Vel's environment and energy levels surface, hinting at lingering effects from the pylons' collapse. Outposts are built in regions that offer either  valuable resources such as Mirestone or as defence bastions against hostile Ignisar Natives.
