History
Main Article: History of the Mankind
Humans are being on the verge of Space Age, they have advanced science and technology and are not that far from discovering principles of interstellar travel on their own. However, for some reason their society and culture remains very fragmented and uneven - while some parts of the planet have reasonably high culture level, other parts remain hopelessly barbaric.
First Contact Incident
Around 280 A.C. (Year 201█ in native timeframe) one of the Alliance Explorer fleet entered Sol system. Underestimating humans technological level, explorers decided to briefly land in sparsely populated area for sampling of the ecosystem of the planet and possibly distance observation of the natives. During atmospheric reentry, shuttle was detected by AA systems of one of the nations, which launched rocket at the shuttle. Rocked hit the shuttle and forced pilot to crash land far from the designated landing coordinates. Crash landing killed nearly all of the shuttle crew except for xenobiologist, who become trapped on the planet. The rest of the explorer fleet couldn't recover him and the crashed remains of the shuttle, due risks of further attacks from the natives and eventual confirmation of their existence, which was violation of the First Directive. So the First Contact Incident begun.
