Horizon Ascending began on December 10th, 2015.

Backstory
In the year 2064, Terra (Earth) barely survived an extinction level event; it shook the planet into a panic. Worry arose that humans would become extinct if they didn't colonize the nearest habitable planet. The cause of the near extinction of Terra was because of a global terrorist group hijack, chain reacting in disorder, literally making the planet tear itself apart.

A large collaborative group, forced between the few remaining countries with order (Europe; India; Japan; South Africa and Iceland), migrated to a 'Goldilocks' planet, 34-HWF5 (Now named New Vini). After that fateful transition, the nations searched rapidly for more planets, colonizing ones such as Haades, Rhea and Manos.

This galactic expansion lasted for the next 5,000 years. Humans quickly evolved into different races, the Herians, Minabi, and Sharzerns. Despite this evolution, the dominant group remained the Terrans (Humans).

Hundreds of years passed, and the Vertan evolved. They were a race antagonistic to the other five races, turning the destruction of Terra- which they culturally used to love- on the other immigrants. Their presence made space a very dangerous place. After many battles, the Vertan were largely eliminated, though many still fear the possibility of their return.

Even with the disappearance of the Vertan, space remains unsafe; since the invention of public spacecraft and robots, the threat of pirates, rogues and thieves has risen throughout the galaxy.

History
Story in Whole

Our story began on New Vini, where an intoxicated Telasero Mataram and the robot K28 met each other, and then proceeded to struggle in attempts to get off-planet. Meanwhile, Noxu Omen attempted to steal a ship for the same purpose, but decided it had no hope of flying. The robot Altair inadvertently flew the Multus to a larger town in New Vini.
