The year is 2040 and the day everyone was dreading finally has come, an empire from the depths of the dark blue skies has come to invade Earth. Spaceships the likes no one could have ever imagine rapidly take hold of the skies above southern Latino-America, subjugating its armed forces by mare minutes in a well orchestrated plan that left them incapable to respond.
As the ships started to land, everyone holds their breath, their minds are fill with fear hunted by the images of the horrid monstrosities that surely will come out of them. But as the doors open and soldiers started to come out, there was a single problem, they weren't all aliens but humans. Certainly this wasn't more than a scheme, an evil plot to deceive them. Everyone pointed their rifles at the door, awaiting the worst, but days past in silence. Suddenly the radio comes alive with talks announcing that they, have finally returned.
After years of exile and careful planning aided by Alien allies, the Asterians under the banner of the Terran Empire finally set foot on their home. With the guidance of their holy Messiah Jan Valeria Virtanen they will put an end to humanity's charade and save them from extinction.
Iunctus Terra is a fictional Sci-Fi setting for the GURPS line of TTRPG games that takes place on the year 2040 and somewhat follows the events declared in the Arma line of games timeline, '''Iunctus''' is primarly a soft setting technologically with a heavy focus on militaristic themes which incorporate various similar elements from other media like Ghost in the Shell, Cyberpunk, Signalis, Stellaris and others. It focuses on the emergence of the Terran Empire and its goal of unifying Earth (or Terra as its members call it) under a single banner, in order to prevent a mass extinction event either at the hands of aloof politicians or by another alien empire.
The themes discussed in this work are as varied as the ants that inhabit it, but its only this three that dictate reality:
Everyone predicted that an empire from above the skies would eventually come to invade Terra. However, this empire wasn't conformed by Aliens as some thought, but by mare humans who wanted to see their home united and will stop at nothing in order to achieve this goal. Both the so called Terran Empire and its human rivals commit unimaginable atrocities against their own in order to ensure their superiority.
"If someone designed something somewhere, there will be always another bastard somewhere else who will find a way to fuck it up".
Every time someone set out to do or creates something, big or small, there will always be an opposite reaction. The Terran Empire wants to unify Terra but in response its governments form alliances in order to remain autonomous and inspire by both, its population became Insurrectionists with their own agendas. Not matter how much care and attention to detail someone puts on something or how minimal something is believed to be, there will always be an oposite response, the only thing someone can inspire to do is to minimize it.
At the same time that everything can be counter, nothing Mortal is perfect. All things can be destroyed and are in someway flawed, not even Synthetics can escape this reality since they suffer from their own type of Mortality and together with Unbound mortals will either eventually suffer from Obsolescence or be prone to Depersonalization or Cyberdementia, cybernetics can be prone to Cyber rejection depending on the individual and Willworkers are still Mortal and can be killed. Everything has its flaws and is in those flaws that the key for ascension lays. Since only truly Ascended beings who are Immortal and unbothered by the tribulations of this world.
