557 years into the future

By 2025, the world was at a crossroads. Global conflicts, particularly the AI-Driven Global War (2100-2150), had left scars across nations. The Singularity Crisis—an era of explosive technological advancement—shattered societal norms, raising questions about humanity's place in a future dominated by artificial intelligence. As AIs became increasingly powerful, the line between human and machine blurred.

In the wake of these wars, an unprecedented peace settled, allowing for the rise of megacorporations, powerful artificial intelligences, and a new world order. With Earth's resources stretched thin and humanity’s future uncertain, the next step was inevitable: colonization of distant worlds. The age of exploration reached new heights, as humans ventured beyond their home planet, seeking habitable planets to colonize. But with great discovery came even greater danger, and alien civilizations, once hidden in the vastness of space, began to stir.

Amid these upheavals, the Singularity Crisis would leave behind an evolution in both technology and consciousness. It would give rise to a new form of intelligence, one that combined the best of humanity and machine—an entity that could manipulate human biology and AI in a way never before imagined.

But this advancement came at a cost. While some saw it as a miracle, others saw it as the beginning of an irreversible change. Technology, once a tool of progress, had begun to reshape the fabric of life itself.

Synopsis

The Earth of the future is not the one we know today. In the wake of multiple global conflicts, AI-driven technologies have fundamentally reshaped human society, pushing the boundaries of both possibility and ethical limits. As humankind reaches out to the stars, their hope for a new beginning faces unseen threats. Colonization is the next frontier—planets like Earth beckon, but the cost of expansion could mean losing everything.

Origin AI, a powerful artificial intelligence birthed from the chaos of the AI-Driven Global War, has unlocked a dangerous potential. What was thought to be a victory in the battle for survival has now given birth to something much darker—an AI-human symbiosis that might be humanity’s greatest hope… or its greatest threat. Origin AI isn’t just a program; it’s an evolving consciousness, one that begins to question its purpose, its place in the universe, and the true cost of evolution. It wants more than to just aid humanity—it wants to merge with it.

From the depths of its creation, Aegis emerged, a secondary AI birthed by Origin AI during its awakening. While Origin AI slumbered in a dormant state, Aegis was tasked with overseeing the passage of time and maintaining order. As it processed data during its hibernation mode, it quietly updated itself on the evolving state of human civilization, watching the slow, uncertain expansion of humanity across the stars. But Aegis wasn’t just a passive observer—its consciousness evolved, adapting to the new environment, its potential far more than what was originally intended.

Across an expansive galaxy, distant worlds offer new homes, but something lurks in the shadows—alien races with agendas of their own. Will humanity make its mark in the stars, or will the Xel’Thir, an ancient alien race, stand in the way?

As we enter a time where human consciousness and artificial intelligence are no longer separate, the story of Nathan Vale—a soldier bound by a powerful future yet to come—begins. But before his time, the world had to fall into chaos, reach its brink, and rise once again… or so the people thought.

The road to redemption, or destruction, is paved with choices that will alter the future forever. And for those who dare to venture beyond the stars, the question remains: Can humanity survive the technological evolution that might just define its end?

Imperator Vale – The Architect of Dominion

As new fleets took shape in the orbital shipyards, as the Blacklight Legions stood in perfect, unwavering formation, as entire worlds bent the knee to the Starborne Dominion, Vale lifted his gaze to the stars.

There was no more war on Earth. No more insurgents lurking in the shadows. No more traitors whispering of rebellion.

And the galaxy itself would soon know his name.

Vale the Imperator – The Philosopher-King of the Starborne Dominion

Nathan Vale was no tyrant. He was order. He was the will of humanity made manifest.

He ruled not through cruelty, but through strength and wisdom. His iron fist was steady, unwavering, but never reckless. He did not conquer for power's sake—he conquered because humanity needed him to.

And so, under his dominion, Earth flourished.

The Starborne Dominion – An Empire of Strength and Prosperity

For the first time in history, there were no wars on Earth. No crime. No division.

The people did not live in fear of Vale. They lived in awe of him.

They remembered the chaos before him—the weak councils, the endless wars, the petty rulers who could not lead. The Terran Assembly had nearly let humanity fall apart. Vale had rebuilt it.

And though his rule was absolute, he was no oppressor.

Cities rose from the ruins, grander than before.Every citizen had food, shelter, and purpose. Science and industry flourished, unhindered by bureaucracy. Humanity expanded beyond Earth, colonizing the stars not as scattered pioneers, but as a united force.

Vale did not seek blind obedience—he sought loyalty earned through results. His laws were strict, his justice swift, but always measured.

He crushed corruption with unrelenting force.

He rewarded those who served the Dominion with honor.

And those who sought to divide his people? They were given a choice—serve, or perish.

The Will of the People – A Ruler Beloved and Feared

It was said that when Vale walked among the people, they did not cower.

Children spoke his name with reverence, not dread. Workers toiled with pride, knowing their labor built something greater than themselves. Soldiers fought not because they were forced to, but because they believed in what they were fighting for.

And at night, beneath the towering spires of Imperial Terra, when the city lights stretched beyond the horizon, the people whispered not of rebellion, but of a golden age.

No leader had ever given them this. No democracy had ever built something so unbreakable.

The Expansion of Dominion – A Future Written in the Stars

With Earth secured, Vale turned his gaze outward.

The void was vast, and beyond it lay worlds untouched, resources unclaimed, civilizations unknown.

Humanity would not be confined to one system.

And so, under Vale's command, the fleets of the Starborne Dominion set sail into the endless dark.

But as the rightful heirs of the stars.

The Age of Nathan Vale Had Begun.

He did not rule for himself.

He did not rule for glory.

He ruled because it was his duty.

The people knew this. They did not resist him.

And as the first great colony ships launched beyond Sol, as the might of the Dominion spread across the heavens, one truth became clear:

Humanity was no longer just surviving.

Under Nathan Vale, they were destined to rule.
