A way to our old home, the earth, has been found again but there is no life anymore. The colonies are destroyed, earth is empty and everything looks like the nomads have something to do with it. The houses try to recolonize the sol system now and find out what has been going on. Maybe the databases of the old science centers on earth can tell us more about the history of sol and where the missing coalition fleet is.

The Coalition, we never thought that we would see them again but we were wrong. Before Earth got destroyed they managed to launch their three sleeperships. Two of them have found their way to the Altair sector and now we are at war with them again. Will this never end?

The return of the Dom’Kavash was a heavy strike back for the Coalition and the houses of Sirius...

Story:

Chapter 1

A few months ago a Rheinland explorer found a new Jumpgate to a hidden system in Omicron Alpha. When they entered this system the first time they were shocked. It was the main reason for the rising Nomad activities in the whole Sirius sector. Containing one planet and over 20 Jumpgates to Nomad systems, Liberty systems, Borderworld systems and many unknown systems it’s a major threat for all houses. Rheinland, Liberty, Kusari and Bretonia decided to send their fleets to get this system under their control. But the nomads were already waiting for them… hundreds of ships got destroyed and the whole Kusari fleet is still missing after they were chasing a Nomad battleship. But finally it was a victory and the Nomads had to leave...

The Dom’Kavash are a mysterious race existent around the post- Cretaceous period which are responsible for the majority of the alien artifacts and for the existence of the Nomads in the Sirius sector (and, presumably in the other sections of their vast empire). Nothing is known about their physiology, but little more is known about their culture. They mysteriously disappeared millions of years before mankind evolved for unknown reasons.

Speculation

There is Speculation over whether the Omega 41 System going nova caused a wave of radiation that wiped them out. However, no skeletons or remains have ever been found, perhaps suggesting that they were invertebrate...

The Edge Worlds lie at the very outer reaches of the Sirius sector, and only the most well-equipped pilots should seek to enter them. The Outcast and Corsair homeworlds are in the Omicrons, and beyond them lie the Unknown systems, home of the Nomads.

In the Sirius sector, the Edge Worlds are a series of systems not ruled by any house governments, nor under any influence of most commercial activities. Usually they are only accessible by jumpholes, and being inhabited by none but the most dedicated band of people and criminals.

The Hispania was one of the five sleeper ships sent by the Western Alliance. It was sabotaged and half of its occupants used escape pods to abandon the ship, becoming the Corsairs. The other half stayed and drifted with the ship, founding a separate colony and becoming the Outcasts.

During the Exodus, the sleeper ship Hispania was damaged, though whether it was battle damage or sabotage, remains a mystery. It limped to the Sirius Sector, but eventually gave out in the mysterious Edge Nebula. Roughly half of the colonists decided to abandon thair failing vessel, and launched from the ship into the star system now known as Omicron Gamma, where they colonized the small habitable world of Crete...
