Towards the end of the Information Age, as humanity began to expand beyond Earth's population limit, the U.N. saw the need to fund and facilitate the construction of civilian colonies outside of earth's atmosphere. Decades of overpopulation had stretched the human homeworld to it's limits, and like an water in an overfilled balloon, Earth's population rushed outward into the other planets of the Sol system. Thus began the sixth age of man, the Expansion Age. Advances in interstellar travel and human stasis became priority as populations continued to increase. Eventually, a breakthrough in the realm of dimensional physics allowed the first interstellar drives to be created and implemented. A fleet of small craft capable of navigating in trans-dimensional space were constructed and began journeying outward to more suitable planets and solar systems. Soon, a flaw became apparent. Only small passenger ships were capable of navigating the treacherous mechanics of trans-dimensional flight, calling for the creation of more ships to meet the needs of the growing population, and the needs of outlying colonies. Materials and money were scarce with the already stressed economics of an interstellar empire. Once again, Humanity had reached what seemed an impenetrable wall. Salvation came in the form of a brilliant mathematician who theorized that a ship equipped with just the calculation hardware and software could lead a convoy through the tangles of trans-dimensional flight, while providing them with up to the millisecond course corrections and information, allowing them to build larger and larger ships with virtually no course correction hardware. Thus, Trans-warp Convoys were born. Humanity began expanding again. Not all was well though. Eventually, Humanity reached out too far for supply ships and military vessels to respond to emergencies within an acceptable time frame. Commerce and transit slowed. It was at this time that an advanced species crashed upon the outer colonies like a plague, raiding them until the civilian population had become demoralized, and the worlds themselves became barren wastelands. To unite the fractured military divisions spread between the Human worlds against this new threat, a form of united military government was forged, known as the Terran Alliance. Despite their best efforts, they still were unable to mount an effective defense against the quick hit and run tactics of the unknown enemy. The Terran Alliance immediately set to work searching for a quicker mode of Travel. One advancement led to another, and just as it had happened before, human ingenuity saved the Terran worlds once again. The creation of spacefold stations that could instantly transport ships and military hardware to the frontline planets were discovered, and without delay, the Terran Alliance began construction. Due to the high cost, these stations were limited only to military and governmental VIP transit. The outer colonies now had the means to bring in troops and supplies on demand. To the surprise of the Terran Alliance, now that they had the resources to track the menace, they discovered that the race was few in number. While their enemy was technologically superior, the Terran Alliance had numbers. What was once a war of desperation became an all out rout. Decimated, the enemy forces disappeared. The war had not gone without it's consequences, however. The fierce economic toll had ravaged the development and infrastructure of the planets, leaving an uneven level of development, with the power in the hands of an oversized military. Civilian Population had been more or less ignored in the haste to defend the Terran worlds. Trade slowed, Planets began to lose faith in the Terran Alliance, and the political system had degraded into a den of thieves. For almost a century, they limped on, managing to hold themselves together. Eventually, at the climax of their instability, the enemy returned, rearmed, and in numbers far greater than they had anticipated. Where neither would have killed them, both of them together threatened to destroy everything Humanity had worked so hard for, and sacrificed so many lives to achieve. Battered and unable to progress, the Terran Alliance looked for their savior. Right on time, advancements provided an answer. The creation of a device capable of subverting the human mind, making them wholly devoted to the commands of a conclave of tacticians. From across 40 of the most loyal worlds, fifty prime specimens were selected and either abducted or cloned, and placed into the program. 2,000 perfect, loyal, and unquestioning supersoldiers, given the best military hardware Humanity had to offer. Capable of standing toe to toe with the vicious warriors of the enemy. The operation was codenamed "The Projects" and was rushed into action. When ready, these warriors would utterly decimate the nameless, faceless horde that threatened them, leaving the government to patch up the shattered economy.

The Projects. An elite fighting force incapable of doubt, insubordination, or rebellion. Cold and robotic, while still retaining the intuition, experience, and talent of a hardened soldier. Able to think, adapt, react, and fight. They were more than machines, and less than human. No family to send a corpse home to, no planet to hold allegiance to. The projects were a stable, reliable answer to the threat presented by the Terran Alliance's alien attackers. 2000 P-Series models were created, hand picked individuals conscripted from their homes, or cloned from only the most brilliant military minds. The groups were divided into an initial experimental group of 10, a support division of 50, a command division of 100, an espionage and covert ops division of 150, and a foot soldier legion of 1,690. Created at 40 different underground labs spaced across the Terran Alliance, there was no way the civilian population would ever discover The Projects' existence. To govern over these projects, the PXM-Series was created. Even less human than the P-Series, they relied totally on their control modules. Empty clones with no memory re-flashing from their templates. Free from the subversion holding their empty minds in check, they operated above the Project control network to recover or destroy any P-Series units that through some fluke of happenstance turned against their masters. 14 were commissioned, seven slated for release just after the initial P-Series completion. As the completion of the program drew near, the 50 support projects were put into service a month early, followed by 39 of the most promising being stationed at each of the remaining labs, while the rest went into stasis.
