==Background Story==
In the future, Humanity on Earth is split into two major factions. One trusted in their faith while the other believed in fact and reason. There was a great war which threatened to destroy what little remained of the Earth, so to guarantee a future for Humanity colonization ships were sent far into space to escape the madness. The ships arrived in a region of space which would be named the Sirius Sector, where humanity met other alien species for the first time and realized they were but a small flicker in the vast, dark unknown.
Grimdark Future is a sci-fi universe at war. The galaxy is in turmoil, where powerful factions and alien races are locked in a struggle to control valuable resources and territory. The technology in this universe is advanced, with faster-than-light travel and powerful weapons, but the origins and true capabilities of this technology still need to be fully understood.  
 
The God-King, powerful ruler and master of genetic manipulation, carves out an empire for humanity with the might of his Battle Brothers. Feeding on the prayers and cries of his followers he starts to demand worship.  Controversially he also deems women unfit to fight in his armies. In response, a once-respected female general of his old army creates the Battle Sisters. She is rewarded by her legions with the title of God-Queen.
 
The Human Defense Force (HDF) are the most common type of troop among the Human colonies, regardless of whether or not they are part of the God-king's empire. Their task is the protection of the human worlds and their populations.
 
The Havoc Brothers are disciples of the Havoc Gods, armies of humans corrupted by the forces of havoc. With the Wormhole Daemons at their side they are ready to raze civilization and bring down all that humanity has built.


The Elves used to be the dominant species in the Sirius Sector but their fear overcame them and they created the Robot Legions. They were meant to be tools of the Elves but their programming drove them to acts of wanton murder. The higher echelons of Elf society escaped in mammoth spaceships and became the High Elf Fleets whilst the lower echelons who survived became the betrayed Dark Elf Raiders.
There are various factions, each with their own unique ideologies and agendas, fighting for dominance, and the true motivations of the war are not entirely clear. The universe is also home to many different alien species, some of which are peaceful, while others are hostile and aggressive.  


The TAO Coalition are an alien species who have used the power of science and collective effort to take to the stars. The Alien Hives are a constantly-evolving series of lifeforms that exist only to consume bio matter and continue to reproduce and expand.
The war is fought across a wide range of environments, from deep space to planets and asteroids, and the battles are intense and brutal, with ships and soldiers using advanced weapons and tactics to gain an advantage. The universe is full of uncertainty and secrets, and the true nature of the war and the various factions fighting it are open to interpretation.
