The Sacrifices of Ordinary People

The Red Tide Offensive struck human society hard. The imposition of martial law in the border regions and more restrictive legislation in other human-occupied regions changed the fabric of human society forever.

An oppressive air began to loom above people's heads. The time for leisure and relaxation had passed. Even the most secure star systems could not completely escape the aftermath of the alien offensive.

Only the periodic intervention of numerous god mechs and dreadnoughts served as a bright spot during the mass alien incursion.

No matter which star system they appeared in, the powerful machines displayed their absolute dominance over their alien foes and easily stopped every invasion in its tracks.

People needed hope. They invested their hope and expectations in the best of what red humanity had to offer.
