Red humanity was at war.
In fact, humans had been at war with the native alien races of the Red Ocean since they secretly arrived decades earlier.
Yet even after the opening of the new frontier, humans never really took the local opposition seriously.

The only uncertainty that people held during the Age of Mechs was how many years it would take before the superior humans managed to conquer every corner of the Red Ocean!
Everything changed when the Red Cabal pulled off the Great Severing, yet this statement was not quite true.
