BACKSTORY

The Order of Darkwater is a secretive and isolated group of Human separatists who grew into strength through the halls of the United Empire. For years leading up to 3000 AD, The Order built up forces in the hopes of returning back into purist human society created for humans by humans. Their desire to control the vestiges and fringes of the United Empire caused the accidental triggering of Pilgrim cessation and due to their carelessness, almost exposed the Order's true face. Knowing that they would soon be found out, the Order chose to travel the same path as the Pilgrims. Voyage and Exploration. The Order of Darkwater slipped away and built up colonies on the "Novan Systems" a group of 3 Terran-like home worlds away from any other species or race. (The systems were Terra Nova, Pax Nova and Para Nova)



For years, the Order created technologies to prevent foreigners and potential threats from moving into their spheres of influence by developing highly expensive, but effective jamming arrays (called the "Lurker Domes") to throw ship navigation systems into disarray. When an unidentified ship broke through the Lurker Domes and crashed into the capital of Pax Nova III, (causing mass casualties) the leadership of the Order decided to find and eliminate the culprits of the disaster. Thus, leaving the safety of the "Novan Systems", fleets of Darkwaterns began the process of finding the culprits and beginning their takeover...
