[edit] Known Facts

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

[edit] The Plot

Universe at War: Earth Assault, begins in the year 2012 when the Hierarchy lands on planet Earth to strip-mine the planet. Before their landing, observatories and scientists on Earth gave warning of aliens but the human race as a whole is not able to organize a unified military front against the alien forces. Because the Hierarchy has vast military expierence from invading and destroying other planets in the universe, the human race is not able to withstand their forces. [4]

[edit] Game Factions

[edit] The Hierarchy

The Hierarchy is an alien faction and so far the only officially announced faction. [5] The Hierarchy has a history of invading other planets in the universe, and has landed on Earth with the intent to strip-mine the entire planet of valuable resources. The Hierarchy doesn't only consider minerals to be resources but also organic life, including human life. By employing highly customizable walkers, the Hierarchy has a huge technological advantage over the human race.

[edit] Human Military

While not an officially confirmed faction, a developer from Petroglyph has said on their official community forums that the player will be able to use the Human Military forces at the beginning of the game. [6]
