The Pasceals evolved deep within the oceans of Xarmir, cultivating a vast aquatic civilization unknown to the Xarmiri who lived on the surface. For millennia the theocratic Pasceals were content to live beneath the waves, but when Xarmiri industries began to threaten the health of the oceans, a decision was made to intervene.

Pasceal warriors strode ashore and began a brutal campaign to wipe the surface-dwellers out for good. A few Xarmiri starships managed to escape the ensuing xenocide, but the rest fell to the blades and guns of the Pasceals.

With Xarmir finally tamed, and her Kingdom forever safe from outsiders, Queen Sschlass turned her attention to the stars...

The defining moment of Xarmiri history came two centuries ago when the Pasceal Kingdom, an aquatic civilization that ruled the ocean floor of their shared home planet, invaded the surface in an attempt to prevent Xarmiri industry from damaging their oceans.

The result was a genocidal war that decimated the Xarmiri civilization and forced the survivors to flee in hastily-designed spaceships, leaving the Pasceals in total control of their planet. The refugees eventually settled on a remote world they dubbed "New Xarmir" and slowly rebuilt their species.

Though not aggressive by nature, the loss of their homeworld and the stress of adapting to New Xarmir badly traumatized the Xarmiri. They will go to any length to take back their lost planet.

Following the colonization of Mars in the mid-1970s, the best and brightest Humans flocked to the planet to build a new frontier. Within a few generations the red planet had become a major industrial hub, even before terraforming had begun in earnest.

Inevitably, the first hyperdrives were invented and humans traveled to other stars to colonize hundreds of new worlds. However, in a cataclysmic event so destructive its very nature remains unknown, that great empire was brought to its knees and contact between the colonies severed permanently.

While survival on Mars remains difficult, the inhabitants have nevertheless managed to preserve some of their cultural and technological knowledge. Now the journey to reclaim the stars begins in earnest...
