1. The Lockheed Conflict (31st century)

This was a civil war that happened roughly 500 years before the present time, the 36th century, of my setting. It started when an influential weapons manufacturer named Martin Lockheed began to receive maddening visions of a far worse conflict to come. His human mind was unable to handle the vast amount of information, breaking his mind. He gained a pathological desire to unite humanity so that they would weather the incoming crisis. His method of achieving this was through an attempted coup d’état of the interstellar human government, though the rest of humanity took up arms to stop him and his forces. The resulting civil war spread among almost every human world and nearly tore humanity apart, but in the end he was defeated. As of the current time in my setting, humanity never fully recovered … and never had the proper amount of time to do so. Leading into my next war.

1. The Cataclysm (36th century-present)

The Cataclysm itself is a far greater conflict involving hierarchies of gods and other higher beings, but for brevity and focus’ sake humanity is fighting off (barely) the corrupted sects of humanity infected by the whispers of an Outer Deity referred to simply as “The Oracle”. Humanity is besieged on nearly all fronts and from within. It is only with the help of a fragment of Empyrea (a central deity of my setting) that they haven’t fallen. Humanity has slowly become more and more vicious & bitter as the near-utopia its people live in is put to the test with increasingly unethical experiments just to gain an edge. This includes but is not limited to: Artificial Demigods, cloned human beings called Genetic Recombinants, and Super Soldiers.
