Plagued by world conflicts, the Terrans came to the realization that their survival was dependent on the colonization of other planets, resulting in the formation of four distinct Terran Megacorporations (aka the Exterras):
The Acolytes (Red): Economic, old money, wealthiest Megacorporation.
The Brethren (Blue): Militaristic, new money, geared for space combat.
The Covenant (Green): Covert, smallest faction seeking global power.
The Destined (Purple): Disenfranchised, a collection of dissidents from all the others.
When the period of time known as The Trials ended, the Terran factions pursued their own interests and ceased nearly all contact with one another. More than a century has passed since the last Acolytes moved freely among the planets negotiating contracts; Brethren members seized vulnerable outposts; Covenant scientists revealed the latest technologies; and Destined raiders captured vessels in their space lanes. But, all is not well.
