The Kinetic General Hardsuit & Tactical System has been the workhorse of the Solar System for nearly a hundred years after humans finally left the pull of Earth's orbit; KNIGHTS as they are known formed the backbone of starbase and colonial development on the habitable moons of Jupiter and Saturn. The populations of these space colonies burgeoned after war had left most of the Earth's surface uninhabitable, leading some to believe that space was the new and final frontier, after all.

However, when a mysterious phenomenon isolated the Outer Solar System from its inner counterpart, contact was lost with the colonies in one fell swoop, leaving only Earth and its near neighbors to negotiate peace in order to ensure the survival of the human species.

More than six centuries passed after that before the phenomenon fell away; by then, those on Earth had reconciled their differences with one another and contributed towards the Global Contingency Union, seeking now to return to space and discover what had happened to their missing fellows.

To their surprise, what they found was war, once again.
[break][break]
Centuries of conflict and an attempt to survive by controlling the dwindling resources of the Outer colonies had resulted in a war-like, feudal society ruled by twelve governors known as the Knights of the Void, serving under one mysterious figure known as Pendragon. When the Earth and its verdurous restoration finally showed itself, they were quick to leap upon claiming it as their rightful territory, deeming it "New Avalon". Poised to sweep into Earth space with their machines honed for battle over half a millennia, tensions are at an all time high.

So begins a fight for supremacy; spurred on by the grudges of past mistakes and an era of isolation and paranoia. Pendragon cannot be trusted, but can the GCE right the wrongs of years past - or be doomed to serve as the stepping stone to the Knights' New Avalon?
