• Having barelled on through warp space blindly for 28 years due to a computer malfunction and having missed Gantris VI, the four supercarriers’ warp engines reach critical meltdown, emerging in real space in a system roughly 60,000 light years from Earth near the galactic fringe. The ships engaged their emergency protocols. The Reagan and Sarengo crash land on Umoja. The Sarengo suffers atmospheric failures and is destroyed. The Reagan makes a more controlled descent. The Argo lands on the mineral rich world of Moria while the Nagglfar crash lands on the temperate world of Tarsonis. Those on Moria and Umoja have no idea what’s happened, apart from the fact that they’re clearly not on Gantris VI. Those on Tarsonis however have access to ATLAS, giving them a technological advantage.^[1]

• The protoss observe the newly arrived humans. Although they’re unsure as to their origins, they begin secret observation, knowing that they’ll make an interesting study. The status quo is maintained for two centuries.^[1]

• A Marine Corps is founded on Tarsonis. This will give way to the Confederate Marine Corps in time.^[2]
