STORY/TIMELINE
2047 AD- Earth suffers a huge epidemic. Humans are becoming more and more infertile. Reproduction has had a rapid drop of 60% in less than 10 years. No one knows how or why, but to try and find a cure, the world's best scientists are gathered and given open permissions to break all genetic laws in order to do so. Any means necessary meant that not only was genetic engineering given the ok, but genetic splicing jumped to the forefront. No cure was found, but treatments were developed, however they had a cost. The human race was changing, evolving, into something else.
2073 AD - 26 years after the epidemic hit, Humans, as we once knew them, were now a minority. Thanks to all the genetic engineering, it seemed a new species was becoming dominant. In order to save the Human race, world governments combine forces to become one in the fight against extinction. They begin to quarantine anyone who has been "altered" and eventually split the Earth into sections. Regular Humans live on one side, engineered on the other. Little do they know that while they create a new segregation, Scientists have had a huge breakthrough in discovering how to not only alter DNA, but change it from its very core. Government looks forward with segregation and eventual space exploration and travel for new starts. Science is looking at the bigger picture, thinking evolution was inevitable and it just needs a helping hand to get the push it needs.
2096 AD - Space travel and exploration have become a reality and it is now possible to travel to Mars with relative ease. Government has already began work on colonizing the planet, but it may be too late. The Human population is struggling, yet now so is that of the engineered. It seems the previous epidemic has returned, but in a more dangerous form. There are still no answers as to what is causing it, but time is no longer something they have much left of. Scientists prepare to make their move when Earth is at its weakest.
2108 AD - Earth falls. Space travel has reached unlimited success but too late. Government is no more and society is now a free for all, or it so it seems. The epidemic has stopped all reproduction and civil war has broke out. The walls dividing the engineered from the not, have been torn down and it has become bloodshed. Scientists, now calling themselves Genesis, have their own solution. As the world fell to its knees, they worked in silence. Altering DNA from its basis, they spent decades refining their work and in doing so, created new species. Starting with themselves, they began to alter and splice DNA in Humans to make them better and once they perfected that process, they moved on to creating from scratch. After thousands of attempts, two entirely new humanoid species emerged. Humans were no more and engineered Humans had new company.
2115 AD - Genesis now has full control over Earth. The war had left most infected dead, and the remaining quarantined. This left the door open for Genesis to step in and take their work even further. Continuing their trials on the altered, always striving for improvements, they manage to keep many from becoming infected. Once they reached that milestone, they began a breeding program, and Earth was its preserve. The newly altered, along with their newest species, were beginning to take full form. However, between the untraceable epidemic and depletion of most natural resources, they knew Earth would soon no longer be able to sustain life. They formed a plan to evacuate the planet and relocate all healthy specimens to a new location. Originally believing Mars would work, over time they had realized they would need far more resources than those that were left through the system. After a few years of deeper exploration, they discovered another system in a small nearby galaxy. The called it SE-1, Sans Earth 1.
2130 AD - 15 years and a lot of trial and error later, Sans Earth - 1 begins to take shape.
173 SE (Current Year) - It has been almost 200 years since old Earth was abandoned. SE-1 now thrives with 4 planets and 6 moons of its own. Each planet has full life, brought from Earth itself. Engineered Humans are everywhere, always evolving and being altered. Genesis (now comprised of a mix of all species) occupies their own planet, of their same name, and were still in control of it all, until recently. A new war has emerged. Those tired of being tinkered with, and used as lab rats, have risen against Genesis and fight for their right to exist on their own terms. Not all share this view and countless have sided against them. Populations of trillions are now at war leaving nowhere on any planet safe. A single space station, hidden and fortified, stands the lone refuge for those who can find it.
