   ***<color #ff7f27>The First and Last Intersolar War (December 2253 A.D.)</color>**\\ It didn’t take things long to spiral, an errant guided weapon, a nuclear warhead too close to a habitat. Accidents leading to escalation leading to more targets being hit as nearly a century of military industrial progress and lethality was expended against the targets it was created to destroy. From Mercury to Pluto infrastructure was hit, habitats and cities destroyed by atomic, kinetic, or even chemical attacks. Even Earth wasn’t spared, its surface ravaged by nuclear and kinetic bombardment, the final nail for its biosphere being a redirected resource satellite impacting mainland Asia. In all it would take a month for the strikes and counterstrikes to conclude, arsenals expended or destroyed, or simply abandoned in case a counterstroke was on the way. Those minding them realizing the war was already over.\\ \\

Earth by now nothing more than a brown and gray marble as it entered a new ice age brought on by man. Those that remained gathered wherever there was fuel, air, or resources to survive. One of those places was the remote FTL research facility, who on the eve of the war had a breakthrough and tested their first prototype drive. Still slow by the scheme of galactic distances it nonetheless gave humanity a bridge to the stars when they most needed it.\\ \\ **//Hello.

Linking this cache of habitable systems where the gates, who's technology, seemingly imbued with Callenite in such a way that is still beyond human understanding, allows for rapid travel across the lightyears to the next gate. Even with centuries of study mankind can only manage a pale imitation of the technology. Other caches of technology encountered as humanity colonized their new home included working and practical plasma based shielding, more effective super-luminal communications, and several leaps in materials science.

Its wealthy leader claiming the realm of the gods that created the starzone reside within the cloud had spent nearly his entire net worth and that of many of his followers in putting the task together. Most call it a blunder and a waste with translations of scant Ozymandian materials being what he employs as evidence of his claim. None the less the five kilometer long vessel left its site of construction on the Mandate frontier in late April and was never heard from again.
