A long time ago, when humans started to explore space, an asteroid flew past the Earth.

An automatic probe was sent to it. When it landed on the asteroid, the probe discovered something that changed the process of human evolution.

The probe discovered an energy source which became known as the Rune. It possessed remarkable properties and had been created by an unknown ancient race.

They started to call it the Ancestors.

Thanks to this discovery, humans quickly learned to build space ships, and subspace portals between two points of the Solar System soon became a reality.

Humans discovered more and more Runes, which sped up technological progress.

No one could reproduce the Runes as their exact modus operandi remained uknown up to now. Despite the fact that humans successfully mastered their use, the Runes disintegrated instantly in the process.

For a short period of time, humanity explored the nearest part of the Solar System and started explore the Oort Cloud

which had the highest concentration of Runes.

Those who commanded their own space ships and equipped them with Runes, established their own bases on asteroids withing the Cloud.

This location was perfect for exploring and finding new Runes and artifacts.

Due to the competition to get these valuable resources, humans started a civil war.

Being far away from Earth, people stopped obeying the laws and each asteroid's owner began to pass his/her own ones.

They started to call themselves Lords.

The asteroids research bases quickly turned into military ones.

The Lords started to produce weapons and cyborgs which maintained their numerous factories.

When the Astro Lords learnt how to use energy crystals their asteroids were rich in, the bases in the Cloud became completely independent.

Officers. Humanity has long been preoccupied with understanding the modus operandi of Runes and artifacts – and, most recently, there has been some long-awaited progress in this regard. While scientists have not yet solved the mystery of the Runes, they have learned how to transfer Rune energy into … humans.

The desperate souls brave enough to take part in these experiments came to emit these energies just like the Runes. Despite the fact that such studies were immediately forbidden, some laboratories continued with their experiments. The test subjects were hunted down and had to go into hiding in various parts of the Cloud.

Lords began to seek out these people and take them aboard their ships in place of Runes and artifacts. A new market was established in the Oort Cloud: here, it became possible to purchase people who possessed Rune energy along with the usual artifacts and Runes.

In order to hide their presence on board ship in the event of meeting with the warships of the inner Solar System, these people came to be called Officers.

One day, a new aggressive alien race arrived from the far reaches of space. As it turned out, this race was also on the hunt for Forerunner Runes and artifacts: it is likely that they know more about the Forerunners than the humans do.

This race is warlike and unsociable. They field immense Boss ships and crews at the Arena: possibly in order to determine the military capabilities of our own ships.

After several bloody skirmishes, it became clear that the Astro Lords and the Aliens did not see eye to eye and that a peaceful division of the Oort Cloud resources would be impossible.

You, the new Astro Lord, must now take your place in this complex and challenging world.
