EXO Wars World

It was a golden age for all Mankind. Using the incredible exoskeletons called E-frames, we had successfully terraformed Venus and Mars, and were poised to move on to the outer planets. Suddenly, it all ended! We were pressed into a nightmarish war on a scale previously un-imagined. We were attacked by our own creations, the Neosapiens -- a race of artificially created humans. Lead by Phaeton, they had seized control of Venus, Earth and Mars.

Exo-Fleet

Exofleet is the overall unified military force of the Terran Homeworlds in the sci-fi animated television series ExoSquad. Prior to the start of the Second Neosapien War, Phaeton lured the ExoFleet, then consisting of six ExoCarriers and countless support vessels, away from the Homeworlds to fight the Pirate Clans. For some time, the ExoFleet was the only safe harbor for the Terrans. It is worth noting that with the onset of the war the dissolving of the Homeworld's Senate by the Neosapien conquers; that the fleet operated without any known civilian oversight.

Neosapiens

The Neosapiens were created by the Terrans sometime in 2040 to serve as slave laborers on Mars, as a part of their terraforming efforts there and on Venus. This also explains their appearance: the blue skin would make them easily visible on Mars and their well-muscled physique would make them very strong workers.

Nearly all of the Neosapiens were slaves in the Martian mines before the First Neosapien Revolt of 2069. Although they were granted increased rights following the revolts (including control of Mars), most Neosapiens still lived in virtual slavery. The original revolt was put down swiftly (and brutally) by Terran forces utilizing the first generation of E-frame technology. Following the rebellion, the Neosapiens were still forbidden from owning personal weapons, and could not hold high-profile positions in the military or civilian infrastructure as it is pointed out Neosapiens were forbidden from commanding ships. Notable examples of free Neosapiens were Marsala, the only Neosapien member of the Able Squad, and Phaeton, the Governor of Mars, as well as Phaeton's generals, Typhonus, Shiva, and Draconis. It was not until the Neosapien War that many of them gained their freedom and joined the Neosapien Commonwealth.

Pirate Clans

Decades ago, before the creation of the Neosapians, the Homeworlds used convicts for slave labor. As the human empire expanded into the outer planets, the convicts were used as miners in the harsh environments of the outer planets. They were promised freedom in exchange for their work. Many of them did not survive their sentences. With the creation of the Neosapians, the convicts were abandoned and left to fend for themselves. The few convicts that survived on the outer planets became a hearty breed of man. Stronger then regular humans and more aggressive, they continued to mine the moons around Saturn and soon began to build ships the material they mined. Then, the convicts attacked the very people who had left them to die on the outer planets. At this point, they became the Pirate clans of Saturn. Taking to the stars, the pirates moved further out in the solar system than any other human had and found a tenth planet. The pirates claimed the planet as their own and named it Chaos, which became their primary base and home port.

The Planet Chaos is unique in the solar system since it is composed mostly of dark matter, making it almost invisible. As the pirates mined the dark matter, they discovered how to harness its unique properties. Through their experimentation, they developed their most dangerous advantage, the cloaking device.

Pirates are tenacious and ingenious fighters. During the campaign to eliminate the pirates, the Exofleet got a first hand look at the fighting capabilities of the pirates. Even on their secondary bases around Saturn, they were well armed with the likes of orbital lasers and missile batteries. Their bases were located deep underground with the only way into them being narrow tunnels that are easily defended and hard to take.

The pirates utilized holographic technology in their defense strategies as well. The pirates entrenched their heavy weapon batteries in alcoves along the walls of tunnels and then camoflagued them using holograms. This arrangement set up a massive crossfire zone that Exofleet's Able Squad very nearly feel victim to.

The Pirates have apparently organized themselves into clans, with Jonas Simbacca as the current leader, although many aspire to the position. Both the ExoFleet and the Neosapien Order wished to have them as allies, and opinions within the clans were split. Typhonus' treachery caused them to side with the ExoFleet, and their decision was the turning point which eventually led to an ExoFleet victory in the war. Their contribution to the alliance (in return for the planet Mars once the war was concluded) were ships with cloaking ability (including Winfield's flagship, the Resolute II) and use of Port Chaos. Another term of the alliance was the allowance of the technology of e-frames. Prior to their alliance with Exofleet the Pirates lacked e-frames and utilized small fighters. After the battle against Typhonus' forces at Tethys the Pirate Clans acquired several NeoSapien e-frames and Exofleet officers, such as J.T. Marsh, began to train the pirates in their use. The Pirates would continue to train and use e-frames, repainted and given pirates symbols, throughout the war.
