Earth had been laid to waste and abandoned over five hundred years in the past by The Chosen, an elite and powerful corporate upper-class. Most of their descendants, over time, had spread out across the galaxy in order to survive, and their original society and culture had been lost and forgotten. Lost and forgotten everywhere, that is, except on one planet - M-78. On that rich and resource-laden world, The Chosen's way of life had remained intact ever since leaving Earth, and Harlequin and the Visionaries, through the use of reboot technology, had continued as their leaders. Their philosophy: "The Chosen must survive, and Profit, above all else!" But The Chosen were not satisfied with one planet. They were determined to spread their influence across the galaxy and had been searching for another Earth-like world to exploit. They eventually discovered Loon, but the humans on that rich and verdant planet were nothing like The Chosen. This set up a galactic conflict that would influence human evolution one way or another for eons and eons to come.
