About The Snow Pirates
The Snow Pirates are a group of humans who were forced out by the rest of humanity due to their experimentation with genetic manipulation on themselves with ancient alien technology. Various religious and medical organizations saw these modifications as a detriment to their morals and beliefs; Believing that humans should not attempt to use alien ancient technology to alter “What humans were meant to be".

Twenty years after the first human became aware of the ancient technology that all Snow Pirates now receive at birth the Religious and Medical factions of Earth attempted to rally the population to fight the Snow Pirate “Virus”, though they did not realise the extent of the Snow Pirate’s influence. The Snow Pirates had a firm hold politically and culturally in many areas such as: Australia, Canada, Germany and Italy, and in those areas the support for them was high - high enough for the surrounding areas to slowly join the Snow Pirates empire.

The war was progressing well for the Snow Pirates; they gained control of almost 75% of Earth through either defection from people who had seen how pointless it was to fight against such advance soldiers, or to cultural domination – people agreeing with the Snow Pirates idealistic and goals. After many years of fighting earthquakes began to happen more often than they used to. During this time the Snow Pirates changed a large portion of its agenda from conquest to finding the cause to this increase. After little more than a year of investigation they discovered a large life form growing beneath the surface of the Earth. Many attempts were made to stop its growth and eradicate the life form but none were enough to do anything more than enrage the creature. After it was deemed impossible to stop the life form, the Snow Pirates began a mass evacuation of the planet. In just under a year every Snow Pirate on earth had left save a token few volunteers to stay behind in secret and observe the Factions and growth of the life form. The Factions seeing this as a victory began rebuilding and renamed the new government The United Systems as they began to expand into space in search of other planets with resources to help the reconstruction forming the U.S.C.M. as its military.

2 years after the mass evacuation by the Snow Pirates the earth started to crack and crumbling, the U.S.C.M. did their best to find out what was happening to Earth, but due to their still strained manpower and disruptions by the Snow Pirate Spies they were unsuccessful. Several months afterwards parts of the Earth broke off, exposing the large dormant creature to the light of the world. The giant creature awoke and wreaked havoc across the world, destroying all The U.S.C.M had tried to build. Some soldiers and citizens were evacuated to nearby planets, starting new villages and restoring the power of the human race and other taken to already established colonies.

The Snow Pirate spies escaped on their ships to the new Snow Pirate home world (a large mineral rich ice planet) practically undetected, but the Civilian reports of strange extra space craft raised suspicion within the U.S.C.M. The U.S.C.M. sent a scout after the Snow Pirates, who then discovered their new home world undetected by the Snow Pirates and sent word to the Human fleet. Convinced the Snow Pirates were behind the destruction of Earth the U.S.C.M. then sent the entirety of its remaining fleet to destroy the new home world of the Snow Pirates. Little did they know the Snow Pirates had amassed a fleet in the dormant time between the wars. They were caught off guard when the U.S.C.M. Fleet arrived to attack and suffered losses to their planet’s infrastructure including their industrial sector – practically destroying their supply lines. The Snow Pirates then launched a counter-offensive, destroying hundreds of cruisers in the process and holding the two factions in a stalemate.

After suffering the damage the U.S.C.M. fleet caused the Snow Pirates knew the stalemate would create large problems for them. They were unable to repair the Industrial sector due to the loss of their FTL Mineral transport facility and thus were unable to end the stalemate. So to attempt to solve this problem the Snow Pirates released a small number of shuttles carrying soldiers to colonize new planets and destroy the U.S.C.M. fleet from behind while simultaneously shutting down their supply lines.
