Alliance Ascension
Alliance Ascension takes place after the year 2137. Humans had expanded their knowledge of space travel and begun to increase their area of exploration when their travels were suddenly cut short. An alien race known as the Sri'lax began an all out military campaign against Earth and humans in general. The invaders had a large military advantage from the beginning, and many of our early battles were lost. Retreats were ordered, and much of the space fleet was recalled from the front lines to defend Earth and the inner space colonies.
In the Universe of Alliance Ascension, the passage of time governs the advancement of a territory. As one would expect, it takes time to do virtually anything. Building structures, exploring, building units, researching science, and attacking, all take time. The passage of time in Alliance Ascension is meant to coincide with the literal passage of time. Thus, one hour of "real time" equates with one day of "Alliance Ascension time". Twenty four hours of "real time" is also one month of "Alliance Ascension time".
