Enemy Metal

Long ago, humanity left the earth in search of a new home. Many generations passed and we traveled almost 20 light-years in a massive titan ship to Sigma Draconis, which we now call the Sunstar. When we finally arrived, we discovered a paradise called Aureus, the planet of gold. It was rich in minerals and life and humanity flourished. Food and resources were plentiful so we lived in peace for many generations. To mine and harvest the resources, we built starships and after a while, they were capable of traveling to other planets in the Sunstar system. Some humans will always be driven to conquer the frontier and so we began to colonize the more hostile worlds. We built giant domed colonies on Glaceus, an icy wasteland on the edge of the habitable zone, and on the fiery planet of Ignis, we built underground to survive the intense heat of the Sunstar. Then the arrival came and the dark moon Arcana appeared as if from nowhere in the skies above Aureus. The Enemy attacked without warning, so we rushed to defend ourselves. We loaded our starships with weapons and shields that we never needed before and for now, we are holding back their onslaught but their attacks grow stronger each day and now we have no choice. We must construct mines so we can gather more resources. We must build starports to protect our new home. We must prepare for war.
