KP Galactic war Prologue.
By the year 2215 earth has been expanding to the stars, with a mass exodious to all M class planets. The exodus continued for over 100 years, with humans colonising over 75 new worlds. With the rapid expansion internal conflicts arose causing strife and warfare. For 25 years war ravaged until a earth based force rose up and brought peace to the warring systems, bringing them together into the Galactic Federation. Trouble still arose across the Federation with incursions by Lorwardian war parties and pirate raiders. To combat this the federation put together a Joint Unified Strategic Taskforce for Intelligence and Combat Enforcement, commonly referred to as Galactic J.U.S.T.I.C.E.
The Galactic Federation enjoyed expansion with relatively minor troubles with new races for 18 years. Then in 2363 the federation while exploring a new system on the fringes of the Federation, scouting parties to an unknown race were met. Initial contact did not go well, with severe casualties suffered on both sides. All following contact with the unknown force ended with losses suffered on the Federation's side. Despite the openly hostile nature of this new race conflict was kept to a minimum, until 2365. When without provocation the colony of Pearl was attacked. With only a small contingent of Galactic J.U.S.T.I.C.E marines in the colony to provide resistance, the following battle was decidedly one sided.
When reinforcements finally arrived the battle was long over, with no military survivors and only a few civilians rescued. Reports on the battle were sketchy at best. Most of the information gathered was from surveillance cameras, and old spy equipment around the colony that managed to survive. Only two facts were ascertained from these sources, 1. The heretofore unknown race they had been in conflict with was called the Centurion. 2. They had been in the colony during the massacre in a very aggressive posture, with full battle armour on.
With this evidence in hand and a very public outcry for action against this atrocity, the president of the Galactic Federation had no choice but to declare war against the Centurion. With this declaration the Federation mobilised the entire Galactic J.U.S.T.I.C.E battle force to meet the invaders. During the early stages of the conflict it quickly became apparent that the Centurion's had the advantage in technology, but humans made up for this with cunning and courage. The war ground on with numerous conflicts raging, but as the war progressed humanity slowly gave ground with more and more planets falling to the Centurion.
During the later years of the war a Centurion strike force started to forge a name for itself, leading daring raids and assaults against impossible odds winning victory after victory for the Centurion. This Centurion strike force quickly became feared and soon was known simply among humanities forces as the Reavers. Humanities forces also had heroes rise from among their ranks, one strike force in particular started to earn a name for itself. Using highly unorthodox tactics; out of the box thinking, and grim determination to achieve victory. Due to this mix of daring, determination and sheer madness, the strike force became known as the Madd Doggs.
Even with these daring raids on Centurion forces, winning battles and gathering vital information on enemy positions. It is not enough to turn the tides of the war in humanities favour. They have however done enough to be noticed by the Centurion forces. However of late an increasing number of rumours have arisen in the conflict zone that there is a third force attacking both sides.......
