Introduction

The year is 2275 it’s been over a century since humanity discovered faster-than-light travel finally ending the slow expansion across the stars. The human population boomed as the overcrowded colonies of the Sol system flooded out to the nearest stars, bringing hope and advancement to the stars. There was a cost, division, and hatred left to fester in hidden corners of mankind’s territory, eventually kicking off the interstellar unification war in 2211.

After a long unification, humanity stands united under the banner of the United Coalition Alliance or UCA for short. The long bloody interstellar unification war finally made humanity one in the face of the evil that humans are capable of. With the defeat of the Fourth Reich in 2225 and the long ten-year recovery plan, humanity swore never again. Never again would that evil take hold in the hearts of mankind.

Many places still keep their culture and identity from the nations that once made them up, most commonly seen in names for ships cities, and people. The battleship Dreadnought is the pride of the new Portsmouth shipyard and the Enterprise`s legacy lives on. One of the strange outcomes of the unification was the Knights.

Once a part of the British Systems Commonwealth military, the Knights evolved into a military organization that swears not elegance to the UCA government but to the people and ideals of humanity. Their power armour is designed to look like the knights of old and legend. Their AI’s once they become self-aware, are the spirits that guide and protect them.

The knights are the best of humanity. They are the first ones in for any natural disaster. They are the first to jump in front of a bomb to save lives. They are the first to charge into a burning building about to collapse.

And one knight, the sole survivor of their ship falling at the hands of a xeno foe was the first to make first contact. The first to show the kindness of man to the oppressed and their wrath to the oppressor. He was in many ways Dropped into Contact.
