The world of Future Invaders
Future Invaders takes place in a future Solar System at war, where four factions battle for supremacy: Humans, Invaders, Organics, and Pirates.
The worldbuilding is explored through the various cards played during a game, which offer glimpses of the ships, structures, technologies, and cultures of each faction.
The game's background story is presented through lore cards. These cards can be printed at home.
Lore 1. Invaders
Invaders arrived in the Solar System.
In traditional human fashion, we shot first and asked questions later.
Turns out, it was a big mistake.
Not only because the Invaders easily defeated us, thanks to their much more advanced technology.
But also because once we managed to establish contact, they told us they were refugee. They had spent all their resources to reach our Solar System, warning us of a much bigger danger that was coming for us.
Lore 2. Organics
And come for us it did.
We called them the Organics.
Enormous biological beings made of what looked like Earth's vegetation, capaple of traveling vast distances in space without the need for spaceships.
We first spotted them coming for us while the Invaders were still doing their best to help us rebuild from the disastrous war we had foolishly started.
Political chaos ensued.
Lore 3. Pirates
As soon as it became clear that war was inevitable and wealth would need to be seized, the wealthiest humans, along with the top brass from the largest armies, fled the planet.
They stole our best weapons, ships, and many of our resources, which they used to build bases and space stations in the asteroid belt.
They declared themselves a faction separate from Earth.
We call them Pirates.
Lore 4. Terrans
When the Organics finally arrived, we were prepared, with the Invaders backing us up from their new homes on Mars.
The Earth had united under one single flag and assembled a mighty armada.
We called ourselves Terrans.
Trying to avoid repeating our earlier mistake, we attempted to open communications with the Organics. Although difficult to understand, we eventually managed to convey our peaceful intentions.
Somehow, they reciprocated.
Lore 5. Chaos
For a short moment, it felt like war could be avoided.
Unaware of this truce, Pirates chose that moment to attack.
They launched nuclear warheads at the Organics and made a play for Earth, attempting to reclaim the homeworld they had cowardly fled years earlier.
The entire Solar System descended into chaos.
Lore 6. War
For many years, Terrans, Pirates, Invaders, and Organics fought to a standstill, with no clear victor.
As of right now, these four factions seem to be endlessly splintering, forming alliances, betraying eachother.
The more ruthless seek to conquer planets and bases, while others aim for peace, or declare themselves Neutrals, profiting from the ongoing war.
Will we ever know peace again?
Or is this destined to end in destruction?
