Vandull Raid on Vega II
Event Time Line:
2920
Event Significance:
Started UEE/Vandull War
Event Description:
On a peaceful day in the colony of Vega II, an unexpected, and much larger than normal Vandull War Clan approached Vega II. Quickly dispatching the planet's local militia, it began a systematic destruction of the colony. The planet's surface was forever changed, glassed from the intense weapon fire from the Vandull battleships, whose weapons are made for punching through a ship's shields and hull. Over 100 million human lives were lost, as the colony was completely wiped out. This action spurred the UEE to declare war on the Vandull Clans, which began an unprecedented mobilization of humanity's military across the known galaxy, as they began to prepare for prolonged war on the UEE's Western front.

Technology Name:
Mobiglas
Tech Development Date:
2832
Tech Description:
A personal digital assistant of sorts, Mobiglas was first developed as a physical wrist attachment, similar in size to a wrist brace. When activated, it projects a holographic interface in front of the user, displaying a customizable screen which shows the user things such as the news, weather, bank information, contact lists, communications, job information, perform financial transactions, etc. Mobiglas also works as an augmented reality tool, displaying information over physical objects that the user looks at, an example being when out shopping, and looking at a product on a shelf, mobiglas can project the item's cost to the user. Commonly referred to as a "Mobi", recent developments can allow the product to be surgically implanted in the wearer's wrist, leaving no obvious physical sign of one.
Tech Examples:

Tech Rarity/Cost: Very common, similar to current cellphones. Most everyone has one, and prices can vary from a hundred credits for the basic model, up to a thousand for high end ones.

Race Name:
Vandull
Race Physical Description:
Larger creatures, normally 7-8 feet tall. Picture Here
Race Psychological Description:
Nomadic, hunter/gather life style. Commonly described as raiders, vandals, and barbaric.
Race History:
First contact was made with humanity in the late 26th century, starting off as a rumor amongst colonists, explorers, and traders operating on the Western front of humanity's boarders. Rumors later became reality, as large numbers of Vandull swept across several recently colonized systems, destroying most everything in their path, and harvesting the planets for their worth afterwards. Noteworthy contact between humanity and the Vandull is non-existent. The Vandull went largely unopposed, destroying human colonies, ships, and stations on their excursion across the edges of human space. Numerous colonies, planets, and even systems fall to the Vandull, what was once human space falling into alien hands. However, upon the destruction of Vega II, the UEE has entered a prolonged, sustained, and often very deadly conflict with the Vandull. While mostly contained on the Western front, it isn't impossible for a smaller hunting/scouting party to be spotted in random places. Often doing quick hit-and-run tactics, the Vandull don't properly engage in battle unless they have some sort of number superiority.
Race Tech Level:
Similar to humanity, albeit mostly focused on developing ways to better rage war.

Benny's Street Gang
Faction Location:
New Canton
Faction Size:
20-30 People
Faction Power/Authority Level:
Low
Faction Goal:
Extort shops for money
Faction History: Once a young smuggler for an illegal soup business, Benny hid low during the UEE's 'policing' of the Fora system. He fell in line, becoming a right and proper citizen after the government, and law and order was established. However, after decades of living under the law, and many failed attempts at starting his own soup business, Benny has given up on trying to earn his way rightfully. Gathering a few of his old buddies, they started a simple street gang, and began threatening shop owners with violence, unless paid off.
Places Lore

Place Name:
Hyperion
Place Location:
Fora System, Northern Human Front
Place Ownership:
UEE
Place Physical Description:
A mostly desert planet, and once covered in raging hyper-storms. However, it's now a stable, livable planet, with a few patches of flora/fauna, fresh and saltwater bodies.
Place Importance:
The planet of which New-Canton is on, otherwise barely a small foot-note in terms of galactic wide history/news.
Place History:
Discovered a few centuries ago, Hyperion was once constantly covered in intense hyper-storms made of dust, dirt, and even clay. Anything caught inside the storms found them to be deadly, and as such the planet was largely uninhabitable. It wasn't until a few private companies, seeking to mine the planet for it's silica, began a combined effort in teraforming the planet into something livable. After a few decades, the first colony of New-Canton was established. Originally meant as a simple mining planet, it quickly grew into a safe-haven for pirates, bandits, and criminals, thanks largely to the lack of any security, or enforcement of laws by the UEE. Several pirated export shipments of silica caused the companies who operated the only legitimate business their to abandon their prospects. It wasn't until this past century that the UEE began a push to strictly enforce law and order, and over the years forced most of the illegal activity out of the system. Today, Hyperion is a simple mining and living colony. Home to a few million, it's one of the few colonies on Humanity's northern front, and with the silica mines once again running, the planet looks to be in a stable state.
