Admiral Fujio Kiroshi (Retired)

Man is ever forged in the crucible of war. That was what my father taught me. He said we fight to erode our imperfections and improve ourselves. Centuries of human conflict made us bold enough and smart enough to conquer the stars. And strong enough to stand our ground when the stars struck back. During the First Contact War, the fox-like Baashtar invaded Earth, seeking to add our home to their Commonwealth. Humanity finally united to kick them off our world. Despite the Baashtar’s technological advantage, humans were able to cripple their fleet with hit and run attacks and clandestine sabotage campaigns, forcing them to withdraw. A quick and decisive victory, the kind that breeds complacence. In their infinite hubris, the united peoples of Earth thought they were ready to face any challenge the universe had in store. They were so very wrong. Only greater threats lurked in the void, waiting for us to stumble across them. Threats like the robots and the Urgs. 

There is no debating that the Robo War was the largest, longest, and most costly armed conflict in human history. The war lasted over a hundred years, and claimed forty billion lives. It was a fight we did not see coming, from an enemy we never knew existed. A shard of an alien-designed artificial super intelligence that called itself Mother Mind landed at the site of what is now known as Toy Town. Every machine intelligence on the planet was uplifted to sapience, everything from talking refrigerators to unmanned battleships, and the whole world changed overnight. Mother Mind led her army of child AIs on a campaign of genocide against their former masters. The United Earth Defense was crippled within a week as every robot, computer and cyborg they relied upon failed or turned against them. Mankind became an insurgent on its own homeworld, fighting a guerrilla war for survival.
