Set in the distant future, the civilizations of the galaxy have colonized space and turned the cosmos into a universal metropolis. After the great galactic war of 2045, the surviving nations combined all of their resources together to explore the depths of space and colonise small moons. The High Council was set up to represent these diverse governments to attempt to bring order to the galaxy in 2565.
Although the High Council consider themselves to be the main power in the galaxy, they are shadowed by the richer, older aristocratic social structure in the galaxy, the Royal Legion. The Royal Legion have been around for quite some time, records show their presence dating back to the 2180s. The king of Sirius Prime was the first planetary monarch to see the potential of wealth to be made from galactic trading and in the early 2180s he decided to expand his empire into the depths of space, colonising and conquering local planets, creating trade stations in orbit of each planet. Many other regal bodies saw how successful this was and followed suit, expanding their kingdoms greatly. This lead to many small disputes amongst the different kingdoms, small battles over ownership rights to systems and a number of short campaigns of terrorism and espionage against rival monarchs. This disruption in the galaxy just seemed to hold back the amassing of wealth, so all of the great leaders decided to form a single aristocratic body to bring order to the current system and increase the wealth for all, allowing the Royal Legion to be born in the late 2180
