For a long time, the only threat the United Allied Planets have had to contend with were roving gangs of pirates making raids on outer colonies. That was before the Sworn.
The Sworn were, at first, identified through several transmissions. The first was as follows.
"You, in all your complacent, foolish bravado. You make a mockery of the holy one. There is only one punishment for such trangressions. Execution.
We are coming for you."
There were two more transmissions after that, one identifying the Sworn.
"Sworn are those who have come before us, and Sworn are those who will come after."
A week after the final transmission, a fleet of Destroyer-Class cruisers broke through the Fira line, and attacked the colony of Fira. The unsuspecting UAP forces were slaughtered.
That was one year ago. The Sworn have continued to push towards the inner colonies, and Earth itself. More confusing still, they are not an alien threat. They are like the UAP's races. Foxes, Cobras, Wolves, Hawks, and all the others. The Sworn are no different.
The Sworn follow a single, governing idvidual, the High Sworn. The few UAP forces who have seen the High Sworn have reported that he is a tall Spider cloaked entirly in a black robe, only his arms, and part of his head showing.
The Sworn have attacked the colony planet of Daera. An army of UAP marines has been dispatched to reinforce the colonies' defences.
This is their story.
