League of Free Worlds Part 1. Gallonigher system.
Since 3095 AD, the Earth empire has spread throughout the universe like a sickness. No planet or lifeform is immune to this disease; indeed, vast tracts of the universe have already been renderd sterile by its progress. The empire's power is formidable. Dedicated to sustaining life on earth. it has colonised planet after plsnet with scant regard to the freedom of the local population or the well-being of the environment. Vicious methods are employed in persuit of this relentless expansion; this has resulted in widespread famine, drought and death. The Leage Of Free Worlds exists to offer resistance and hope.
The only special ships the mod uses are from the Unholy Alliance mod. As far as I can tell it has no connection with Colony Wars.
