Jack of Harts

The Jack of Harts universe is filled with many human races whose homes are not Earth. The Ennead were one of the most powerful of these races back in the day. They were accomplished gengineers like the Albion, and created many interesting and powerful races that can still be found to this day. Though many are erroneously credited to the Albion. The Ennead uplifted many species to human intelligence levels, and upgraded them in many other ways. Crossing the abilities of various species to make them stronger and better servants and soldiers. They experimented on other species to learn enough to purify the human race of the genetic rot that aged and killed us all before our time. To make the human race what we were meant to be. Immortal.

We live in a clarion time right now. People all over the world have spoken on video, over social media, via signed letters, and on the streets in favor of the terrorists who tortured civilians to death, raped civilians to death, and took civilian captives to use as human shields. These people have told us with their own voices where they will stand when it is time to load undesirables, irredeemables, or deplorables into cattle cars and take them to gas chambers, or whatever modern technologies can be used to deal with the people they don’t want to live. Watch, read, and listen. Remember what they said. Remember their names. They are not on Team Civilization.

The Shang have a serious chip on their shoulders when it comes to Earthborn humanity in the Jack of Harts universe. They don’t trust us. They don’t like us. And they do not want to see us expand into the galaxy. They want us controlled and docile at worst, and relegated back to Earth at best. They are Not Amused that Aneerin made Contact with us and helped us expand. Not Amused at all. They never actually had an intention to kill all of us, you understand, but they decapitated the American government in an effort to make us surrender without a fight. They did not want a war. And they did not attack us from their point of view. They were defending themselves from us. We are the monsters under the bed. We ARE the primary antagonist of THEIR story.
