Mechanized armies fought for dominance, as each interstellar nation made its own bid for power. Mankind teetered on the edge of the abyss.

When mankind moved to the stars, we brought with us our hopes, our faiths, and our dreams. We also brought with us our rivalries, and our savagery.

But a strong ruler creates powerful enemies. [[House Liao]], [[House Marik]], [[House Kurita]] – they would never bend a willing knee. And there mankind remains, poised over that dark abyss and the long, spiraling fall.
