Three months after the events of Machina Terra, the saga continues to unfold.  Still fresh in our minds are the events surrounding the Shivans in Machina Terra, still fresh are the wounds, still fresh are the nightmares.  With Alliances cemented, an age of exploration begins, yet this is to be short lived.  Waiting in the darkness they lurk.  Already they have begun to conquer.  Already they are at war.  For thousands of years the Shivans were the destroyers, for thousands of years the reigned uncontested, until they came across mankind.  Together with our Vasudan allies we fought them back.  They came again and destroyed a star.  They came yet again.  We are not the only war that they fight.  There are others. 

 

In a universe with a million stories, this is but one.  Origins.
