The Year is 3315 and Earth just came out of a 100 year long war with an alien species known as the Ragnor. This was fought on countless planets due to Earth having already colonized hundreds of planets after centuries of technological advances.
The Ragnor brought humans on the verge of extinction. Even with Earths advances their weapons did no damage to the alien invaders and slowly but surely their planets were being taken over one by one. out of their original 846 colonized planets they were down to 207.
Finally after 30 years of war with these aliens scientists made a breakthrough finding out how to give abilities to humans that could be passed down in their genes. They were able to push back the Ragnors advances to a stalemate due to these abilities and after 70 more years of conflict they finally forced the Ragnors to retreat until they could come back stronger.
Unfortunately abilities werent always transferred over to users children but with each generation the abilities became stronger. Usually only powerful rich families could afford the ability pills and as such the only other way to obtain them was by joining the military at 15 and getting them from the military.
In this world though the powerful discriminated the weak and treated them cruelly forcing most children to join the military in search of power. 10 families held most of the power in the remaining world and the military wasnt even part of the the top 5. these famlies were known as the planet holders. for each of these families held an entire planet to themselves and were known by all of humanity.
