For those unfamilliar with X32I it was already a Crysis mod in the past and a fairly popular one, but based on a 4 man skirmish onto a alien world X32I. However I've decided to restart my fictional sci-fi universe, and make a space simulator game similar in style to Freespace 2.

It all seemed like a dream, a future, a mystery.
Little did we know what was truly to come...
In the autumn of 2012, the United States military, in combination with NASA and several European space agencies, perfected the wormhole technology; a system of transporting vast amounts of goods, across immense distances, almost instantaneously.
Originally thought to be a possible respite from the terrorism and problems which plagued our homeworld, the USA kept this discovery secret from the other partner countries, hoping to find a new dawn, a new hope.
Using a series of natural phenomena, the USA began sending out probes, opening new portals, masked by periods of solar activity or other stellar occurences. However the results were not what the US government and scientists were expecting. Regardless of the calculations involved, regardless of the changes that should have made a difference, the final results were always, inexplicably, the same.
Every single probe returned results of the same body, the lost planet that would come to be known as X32I.
Eventually, as the scientists became more and more aware of what lay behind the wormhole, a manned space mission was planned.
This was launched in 2031, dubbed Operation Archimaedes. As far as the US military and government were concerned, it was a great success; humanity had made it's first true steps into the stars. By 2045 a space station lay in orbit of X32I, the US Amura, with the mandate to explore and understand the nature of the planet before them.
From this planet, the technologies and histories of an ancient race, known by scientists only as "race Alpha", began to be exhumed. This led to miraculous developments in both technology and also understanding, but for the notion of public order these advances and discoveries were kept purely behind closed doors, leaked slowly to the rest of humanity, much like microwave and computer technology had been only a century previously.
However, despite their best intentions, and the most covert research, the USA was not the only country in development of wormhole technology; European countries involved in the original research, yet not privy to the results, began to experiment with thier own data, whilst the Asian superpowers used technology, both stolen and internally developed, for the same purposes.
War was inevitable.
World War III finally erupted in the year 2067, sparked off by the unprovoked destruction of the Amura station. It culminated in the creation of the United Earth Alliance in 2071, a cross continental coalition of like-minded countries, born from the remnants of the now-dead European Union, along with the remaining American states. The west coast of America no longer existed, the result of a cross continental barrage of missile developed from technologies the Asian powers had stolen and created from their own missions to X32I.
Presented with the very real possibility of human extinction, the UEA council, led by Chancellor Garius Broadhall, forged the Atlantic-Asian Peace Concord; a treaty designed to prevent further hostilities, and intended to open the doors to a new era of peace and understanding.

If only it had worked that way...
My name is David Greenhall, a son of the UEA. My family were originally descended from English and German blood, but none of that matters anymore. For the last 20 years, hostilities and tensions have slowly risen between the UEA and the remaining Asian and African powers, caused by needless bickering between member states and old racial hatreds, combined with the usual beareautcratic inadequacies, and inflamed by the constant raids sponsored by these states on our territories on X32I.
The time has come to claim X32I once and for all, to end the cycle that has plagued humanity since its discovery. To evolve.
May God commit this day forever to history, for it is the day that humanity will begin anew...
