Description
"Years had passed since he had left to help expand Fleet territory, and he had never regretted it. From an early age he had been told of the terrible Sol Wars between Earth and the renegade colonies, and how the Trans-Neptunian Fleet had been formed to bring all colonies under Earth’s control to avoid future large-scale conflicts. To Bjorn this was a noble pursuit—the violence he inflicted now contributed to uniting humanity and would someday achieve peace across the stars."
- From The Fleet Beyond Neptune

In the distant future, accessible jump drive technology has enabled independent expansion beyond the Sol system.

Terrified by the initial wars and the potential for future conflicts, the government of Earth ordered its Trans-Neptunian Fleet to locate and seize control of all human settlements. Declaring all colonies not directly sanctioned by Earth as unlawful, the final end state is a unified humanity in peace with itself - by any means necessary.

Around the fringes of settled space, tensions have reached a boiling point as moons and planets lose their independence. From its large superstructures in the Alpha Centarui system, the Fleet conducts a seemingly endless string of military operations against competing military and mercenary organizations, pirates, and other stakeholders in the region.


Current projects:
-A heavy dropship for armored vehicles.

Continuous projects:
-Upgrading the blueprint and workshop pages of older ships.

For those who like the setting and lore surrounding the Alliance: consider reading the Conquered Colonies Series[www.amazon.com], the books about the conflict between the Occupied Settlements Alliance and the Trans-Neptunian Fleet.
