L'Isola.
A universe not unlike our own, save for one key difference.
It is an aberration, an "island" of sorts, where things "wash up" on its temporal shores, disoriented and confused, thrown from their home worlds or dimensions... and who find themselves unable to return.
In this way, it has become a home to many from extraordinary places, working shoulder-to-shoulder for the good of all.
A world populated by fantastic technology, fresh from a golden age of unparalleled prosperity.
Over one hundred years have passed since mankind united in the face of total destruction: The ES Wave, a pulse of cosmic energy that threatened to wipe out all life on Earth.
Thanks to the success of the Aegis Project, the Earth was spared, even as the gravity wave wreaked untold destruction across the galaxy.
In its wake, it left a terrible scar - a dark canyon, cut into the surface of the Moon. Discovered within it - below the surface of Luna - was a cache of incredible technology, termed "Extra Over Technology" - a mysterious graveyard of strange and alien constructs.
With this discovery came the unsettling knowledge that we were not alone in the universe, and under the watchful eye of the Directory, new weapons using this technology came into being, intended for the inevitable conflict with alien races. Some even believed that the gravity wave was a deliberate act - a pre-emptive strike against the Earth by unknown powers, lying hidden among them.
This bounty was so transformative, that a new century was christened in its honor: The Over Era.
Space colonies were established, and mankind reached for the stars in ways never before thought, spreading the wings of humanity so that they might envelop the cosmos.
Despite this sense of hope and optimism, not all was well.
Colonial governments, long lacking any representation in the Directory, revolted against their mistreatment... And were put down with extreme prejudice, with the aristocratic Lunar settlements sittling idly by.
The dream of Colonial independence, it seemed, was to be only that.
Years of uneasy peace passed... and then, New Years Day, UE 101...
Catastrophe struck.
A massive pillar of energy erupted from the Lunar chasm, slicing into the Earth itself, turning miles of land into an uninhabitable forest of Dimensional Energy Crystals.
In the aftermath, a seemingly endless stream of monstrosities poured forth from the chasm into the void, destroying everything in their path. On the Earth, Dimensional Quakes suddenly erupted, and DAMON - Dimensional Beasts, biomechanical terrors from between worlds - began to emerge en masse, wreaking unchecked destruction.
In response, the Directory has withdrawn all its forces from the Lunar and Colonial territories...
It is the year Over-Era 0102.
The new golden age has ended.
The Sundering War has begun.
