These are scraps and tidbits put together from allusions in posts on Prodigy. They don't represent all of SWE's background, but they do set the pattern. Not every thing on here was actually played out in SWC as its storyline (only the 4th Imperial Fleet and invasion of Pentastar Alignment were provably not played), but these are all in its timeline. Most of this is not original work, and rewritings and descriptions from Justin and whatever other old players show up will be more complete.
