However, the USG Ishimura and the rest of CEC’s fleet provided enough raw materials to pull humanity back from the brink, and the Resource Wars have now subsided.ĬEC’s mining operations continue to fuel humanity’s expansion today. Earth and its colonies have been mined so dry that a series of bloody, desperate conflicts erupted over the remaining resources, known as the Resource Wars. Though planet cracking is controversial – a deadly accident known as the Wanat Disaster cost CEC at least one of their prized ships – it also saved humanity. CEC has pioneered many mining and extraction techniques, but the company’s most notable achievement is the development of “planet cracker” starships, capable of ripping apart entire worlds and harvesting their raw materials. Headquartered on Earth, the Concordance Extraction Corporation (CEC) is a market leader in deep space mining and one of the largest corporations in known space.
After operating for over sixty years, the USG Ishimura is undergoing its final mission, mining a remote but mineral-rich planet called Aegis VII that has been strangely untouched for over a century. Humanity began to thrive amongst the stars, along with new and influential factions like the Church of Unitology.
In time an entire fleet of CEC planet crackers, run by hardened interstellar mining crews, was providing a steady supply of resources back to Earth. This ship, the USG Ishimura, was able to mine whole planets so effectively that the Resource Wars soon came to an end. Bloody interstellar conflicts known as the Resource Wars had erupted over the remaining scraps, bringing the threat of extinction even closer.Įarth’s largest energy corporation, the Concordance Extraction Corporation (CEC), developed a new kind of starship: a “planet cracker” capable of ripping apart entire worlds, equipped with a shockpoint drive that made faster-than-light travel almost trivial. By the early 2440s, Earth and its colonies were consuming resources faster than they could be mined.
Bold pioneers and wealthy corporations began to rapidly expand into space, founding colonies on new worlds.īut space exploration did not provide a reprieve. In the 23rd century, humanity turned to the stars to escape environmental collapse, political unrest, and the deprivations of a resource-starved Earth.
