Wir schreiben das Jahr 2295. Im Alpha Centauri 2 System legen Schiffe der drei Großmächte, PFA (Parrinia Federation of Aragoth), MRUW (Meklon Republic of United Workers) und die NATO an einer Botschaftsstation an um eine Debatte zu führen, welcher Nation denn nun diese Grenzregion zwischen den drei Heimatsystemen zustände. Wie so oft kommt keine Einigung zu Stande und alle drei Fraktionen senden ihre Flotten aus um eine gegenseitige Blockade zu errichten. 4 Jahre dauert diese an bis im Jahre 2299 die Schiffe der MRUW ihre Triebwerke starten und direkt auf die Blockade der NATO Kreuzer zuhalten. Ein interstelarer Krieg bricht aus in der auch die PFA verwickelt wird.

Mehr von der Geschichte könnt ihr im englischen Originaltext nachlesen, für heute ist ersteinmal genug vom Märchenonkel. Das Modteam der The Centauri Crisis Mod war nicht untätig und präsentiert euch einiges an Material. Darunter nackte Waffenmodels, fertiggeskinnte Versionen und eine Konzeptzeichnung eines PFA Soldaten.

In late August, 2295, PFA (Parrinia Federation of Aragoth), MRUW (Meklon Republic of United Workers) and NATO ships gathered around an embassy station in orbit around Alpha Centauri II. At that time there was a debate between the three superpowers of the known galaxy as which goverment should control the Alpha Centauri System, as it was on a border region between the three nations, and all three factions already colonized the system over 90 years ago, NATO took control of the Alpha Centauri System, and established the ACS (Alpha Centauri State) Which was a fully functioning goverment that administrated all 6 planets in the Alpha Centauri System, which became a thriving tourist attraction for the diversety and the unique culture already arising. The PFA took Beta Centauri, and handed to the Sonama Mining Corporation (one of the largest PFA based companies known) Along with leaving a sizeable PFA Air Caste Garrison to protect the system from pirates and any other threats. And the MRUW took Gamma Centauri, and like most other systems in their control, the MRUW used Gamma Centauri for stripmining operations on all 8 planets in the system, all resources gained to be devoted to making more equipment for their military, which at that time was already billions strong.

The three factions coped peacefully for those 90+ years, until 2294, when the diplomatic offices in all three systems simultaneously were bombed, no leads on who could have commited the bombing, each nation pointed their fingers at the other two. Their borders closed to each other, and al 3 systems were closed from communication with each other,news of this incident spread to the Washington DC, Galan City, and Kerr'chik in as short of time as 3 months. And each nation sent a fleet to Alpha Centauri to settle the dispute. En Route, the president's personal spacecraft, Air Force one, was fired upon by a passing freighter that happened to belong to GenTech, a corporation heavily integrated into the MRUW. While the PFA Flagship "Kraa'ihnch"'s engines were disabled by an internal explosion, the source of the explosion was found to be C4, an explosive used almost Exlusively by NATO Forces, and the MRUW Carrier Gamma 7 was attacked by a team of frigates with PFA markings. All 3 ships made it to Alpha Centauri in August, 2095, one week later Presidents John Taylor and Kre'Hurr, along with Defence Minister Bast Kalar left by their own means, while massive numbers of forces from all 3 superpowers approached and blockaded their respective borders to the Alpha Centauri System, this was kept up for nearly 6 years.

2299, Late December, MRUW ships engaged their engines and flew head-first into the NATO Blockade, guns blazing. Many forces were allocated from the PFA Border to the MRUW one to contain the incursion, which proved to be a very bad tactical desicion. All PFA Forces that were currently guarding the Beta Centauri border rushed through the Alpha Centauri Border, wiping out anyone who stood in their path. Spread far too thinly, the NATO ships retreated to close orbit of 3 of the populated planets in the Alpha Centauri system, While the MRUW and PFA ruthlessly fought each other and the NATO Forces. The ACS decided that it was time they took this conflict into their own hands, and formed the Alpha Centauri Planetary Defence Forces, which consisted of any Remaining NATO ships/soliders in the system and over 2 million men and women, who were either conscripted or signed up at their own will, to defend what was left of the Alpha Centauri System until Reinforcements came or until the fighting ended, be it by defeating the alien armies or until every last one of them was killed.
