In 2132 AD, Earth’s population reached an untold 10 billion, overpopulation and nearly drained resources forced one-third of its people to move away out of the Solar System in cryostasis to reach a new world in 55 Cancri named Lucia. Located in the Constellation of Cancer, this lifelike planet is unlike any other Earth-like destination human colonists ever seen like it, not long after their Alpha Centauri discovery.

Given the technology that far surpasses today’s standards, humans living on Lucia perform much better, build structures of illogical design, and dream better than on Earth. It also comes down with a price. Weather patterns on this mythical world are very dynamic and eerie, more intelligent species, various new diseases that can kill in minutes, and an intergalactic spot for invading forces that come and go from all over the galaxy. The time of day seems to move five times quicker than usual, and their orbital year is as short as Mercury. This may indicate that despite the same gravity, eccentricity, and density, it rotates and orbits too fast around its star, baffling astronomers.

The first war took place in 215x AD; some colonists have disputes over the new resources. They cannot be sure exactly where they want to farm, mine, or grow their own due to the exotic properties that change so fast, scientists were mystified. Then, they started fighting one another for territory, but quickly put down violently.
Then, in 216x AD, a second war took place, this time, social issues with the new species that inhabit there. The Lucians and colonists do not agree each other and felt that their visitors have overstayed. The native inhabitants have far better technology, and the people seem to have similar characteristics of every colonists’ favorite creations, particularly with an interest with Eastern cultures. The colonists’ were driven back and evacuated into slip-space for five decades.

In what would be a coronation event for their matriarch named after the planet itself, it yet struck again in the spring of 2203 AD. The invading force was not colonists, but rather Chasers, monsters invented from peoples’ fears that pursue them in their imaginations. They caused minor damage to the Lucians’ home capital, and casualties estimated in the hundreds, but ended in roughly a quarter-hour with a cease-fire to tell the matriarch’s would-be husband, and everyone else living there to not dream indefinitely in exchange for peace. Anyone that died violently is left to wander the White Desert, home to the Monochrome Tribe south of the capital for all eternity.

In the most unexpected turn of events, in Izanagi Retreat, an insomniac man after many years of hardship, kept the promise to see her again only by dreaming in sleep, or so it seems. The king of the Chaser legions in Yerivia to the northwest, psychologically enthralled at the man’s wish he is about to fulfill, launch a direct all-out attack on the Lucians again in 2217 AD. For six months, both factions clash head-on each other through the harsh desert with everything they had. Inevitably, supplies becomes miniscule and hard to get by without outside help, hundreds of thousands lie dead, affected the nearby forest south of the desert that became a haunted location to remind people of the devastation and the lives that took them.

Having no choice but to relinquish fighting in the western front, the Lucians and Chasers signed a truce, but despite this, they still fight on the border with fewer regiments of all that is left. The matriarch wants to protect the citizenry as a whole by instigating a new program to stop most wanted criminals called LITE (Lucia Intergalactic Tactical Elite). They only train to kill to collect bounties, and act as a private-owned government agency behind the scenes.

As of now, in the early months of 2218 AD, an emergent invading force, the Dormilians, a hybrid vampire race in their own search for immortality, unconditional loyalty, and a penchant for destruction without guilt. By utilizing the power of Lilith to convert anything and anyone into their cause, they will not stop no matter what until every planet in the known galaxy falls into subjugation.
