First Contracts
Mankind's Rise and Galactic Cold War
Mankind is about to rise as a border world in a galactic cold war between the Telshean Union and the Republic Combine. Since the nineteen forties, Combine treaties have formed shadow governments that now reverse engineer, steal, and kill for technology in the race to produce the first human advanced tech patent. Fighting to fulfill their treaty with a patent, they aim for the rights to form Earth's first representative government.
The Emerging Heroes and Alliances
Our emerging heroes in the contractor guild are caught in a torrent of new alliances as Daniel Young, Earth's first contractor, fulfills the American treaty. The shadow governments end their secret operations while the Republic Combine and surprisingly, the Telshean Union, reveal themselves to Earth. Political dialog takes place as the cold war heats up before Daniel secures Combine support to defend mankind from the Telshean Symbiote protocol.
The Conflict and Resolution
Fulfilling the deal with his new technology, he leads Combine forces in the retaking of another's homeworld lost to the Telshar and leaves the Symbiotes undergoing reversion to find the war surrounding Earth. Earth's emerging Terran Council is born as Union and Combine forces are destroying each other in the system. Mankind's first leader, Althea Jefferson, is elected from the American organization and rises to be the first Terran Chancellor.
The Future of Earth
As the council starts to function, Althea must preserve the council so their treaties may protect them from the war. As war engulfs Earth, hopes lie with a Telshean prophet and a former Telshean politician.
