Thanks for the Input Guys
Children of Earth? Is this in reference to Harold Hale's 'Gabreelist'(sic) TNE setting? If so, will that setting by required?
The Children of earth Setting has got nothing to do with TNE so that setting will not be needed - unless of course you want to be supported on the site, in which case I will be happy to do so.
The COE universe is set some five hundred years or so in humanity's future. After centuries of political turbulence and a devastating war with a previously friendly alien species that resulted in the destruction of the Terran Biosphere, humanities remaining colonies have banded together to form the Colonial Administration. The CA was initially successfull in uniting mankind with a common purpose, that of defeating the alien 'Klicks'. Now that the war has been won and the Klicks are now extinct, the CA reorganised itself into a peactime administration called the Stellar Commonwealth, though has began to fragment into its component parts of The Human Hegemony, The Rim Confederation and The Sirius Cartel, and the smaller unions of former economic and commercial colonies as breakaway states such as the Trans-European federation, The Orion Concordance and the Piscean Axis.
At present the Human Hegemony is wracked by civil war. Humanity is threatened not just by the many and various alien cultures out there, but by his own creations, the genetically engineered Geni who are overwhelming the Commonwealth's ability to cope with so many diverse threats.
