IIRC StarLancer was a setup for this game. The Solar Wars basically made living in Sol miserable, and to make things worse, another alien race interrupted our soiree, so as soon as they left or whatever, the human race packed their bags and headed elsewhere. Also, IIRC, the character we played as in StarLancer was one of the critical players in repelling the unknown aliens, and was also the deep ancestor of Trent Edison (I think it's Edison, not sure).
