Earth
May 10, 2046
A day that lives in infamy.
Lives lost: 6.3 million
It was the day when Humans found out for certain that they weren't alone in the Universe.
The Xarle Empire's main objective is to obtain worlds for the purpose of occupation and the stripping of its natural resources. Often referred to by the United Alliance as the Snarls, this group considers genocide as a necessary step in preserving their ideals and culture.
Earth wasn't at all prepared for the heavy battle fought on that day. If it wasn't for the intervention of the United Alliance, who fought alongside Humans to protect the planet, Earth might have been a total loss.
As rebuilding and healing began for Humans, Earth became integrated into the United Alliance. The UA is a military organization comprised of several planets whose mission is to defend itself and ultimately crumble the Xarle Empire.
