IMPORTANT NOTE! The background does not go into full detail on which organisations, countries and other setting elements are present in the game. This is on purpose, to make introducing new canons easier, even after the game has started.
Humanity grew proud. As technological advances progressed, we looked up to the stars. Conquest of space began - we established colonies in space, around Earth, even outposts on the Moon and other planets of the Solar System. Space pods used in construction and maintenance of colonies served as basis for the first humanoid robots.
Then, they came. About twenty years ago, it's hard to judge who was first. Monsters, aliens, strange creatures - each group different, only thing they had seemingly in common was hatred for humanity. We had to defend ourselves. Humanoid robots proved key in fighting off the enemies. At first we struggled, but we got good at it.
We got really good at it.
Because of that, large parts of humanity grew complacent over the years. Considering the extraterrestrial threats "not their problem", they turned corrupt - or even started to wage wars at each other. And in the meantime, the threat only grows stronger in time. Humanity still holds. But for how long, no one can tell.
Not everyone was willing to stand by idly and do nothing. Six months ago, an organisation rose in Earth Sphere - Divine Crusaders, a group that sought to unite nations of Earth against the common foe of alien invaders. Yet even if their goals were noble, their methods were not. They sought to subordinate others by force, and war was inevitable.
After a short but intense period of fighting, Divine Crusaders were defeated. Their leaders, Bian Zoldark on Earth and Maier V. Branstein in space, died in battle. Shu Shirakawa, a brilliant Divine Crusaders scientist who switched sides mid-conflict, betrayed Earth Sphere United Nations in the end and he and his mighty Granzon were likewise destroyed. Yet sacrifices were many - Earth Sphere's military forces were greatly weakened, even less fitting to face off against humanity's many enemies than before.
Yet a ray of light shines during the dark times. During the Divine Crusaders conflict, one squad performed better than all others - the Steel Dragon Battle Group, a small but mobile and highly-skilled force. Enough people in positions of power came to an agreement to create a similar organisation, based on the Steel Dragon Battle Group, and try to replicate its success.
Unity Group has been established. Not a part of any nation's military, it answers to the ESUN directly. Unity Group's goal is simple - gather the strongest, the brightest and the most talented. Together, participate in operations against any force that threatens humanity, be it external, or internal.
All is not lost. Unification begins.
