Lore of AFF

[BlackRose]

Recommended reading material, explains the backstory of the Antarean Empire & United League of Planets and why neither side is exactly innocent in this war. Also explains the "Crowning Day Massacre" of Ixion and the title of this game.

"Lania Gallientus was a revered figure both within and outside of the Federation. The daughter of the Prime Minister elect, Varis Claetus Gallientus, was known throughout the quadrant for her humanitarian organization the White-Wing Foundation. In the aftermath of the Crusader uprising, Lania came to fore as a champion for human rights and rebuilding the shattered worlds of the 2nd and 6th Districts. She repeatedly petitioned the League Senate to rush aid to these areas. In the many cases where her calls were answered with silence, her White-Wing Foundation took a strong hand in assisting the worlds in most dire need of assistance. Seen as something of a saint in many systems, Lania’s presence alone was often able to diffuse even the tensest of situations. Whereas the Crusaders advocated violence, the White-Wing Foundation was decidedly pacifist, always encouraging non-violent protest. Above all it was committed to maintaining the integrity of the ULP at all costs.

Thus when word of her death at the hands of a USN squadron, along with news of the incredible tragedy over Ixion, (on one of the most sacred days of the Antarean calendar) public opinion towards the League in the 2nd and 6th Districts turned from battered hope to murderous rage. Stricken by grief over loss of his only daughter, Prime Minister Gallientus took his own life. In the rush to re-establish order, Federation Parliament held an emergency session to elect someone to fill the Prime Minister’s position. The man elected in a unanimous vote was Senator Thomas Bellmont."

Or if you wish you could just have my run down that will be insanely not accurate?

I wrote a lot of it way back in the day, though bits and pieces have been changed over the years (for the better). The general structure is captured in the intro video and we have a new wiki that is currently being filled in and edited. No ETA on that. Just stay tuned.
