Sanctus Dei (Sanctuary of God) is the capital city and Headquarters of The Firmament.
The year is 3087 and society is fractured. In centuries past, humanity relied on robots to aid the advancement of mankind. However, machines programmed to follow a primary directive have their faults - an inability to adapt. So, a solution was sought, and one was found.
Artificial Intelligence.
For a time, the robots new ability to adapt relieved even more stress from society, allowing humans to enjoy an even greater sense of luxury. But, what began as intelligence soon became sentience. Robots began to 'feel' and 'think' in the same capacity as their flesh counterparts. Not long after, 'protests' began - robots demanded, that they receive the same rights and opportunities as their human 'brethren'.
You can guess how that went.
The ensuing war was a violent one. While machines could operate with a ruthless and logical efficiency, humans' natural affinity for war and unpredictably made them a force to be reckoned with. It became a war of attrition, until a irreversible decision was made and things were never the same.
After several decades, humanity was able to establish several footholds across the continent.
The footholds are now centuries old, and a tenuous peace has formed. The robots themselves had been divided from the beginning, and now those robots left outside are starting to display signs of madness that the robots staying in the Cities have avoided. However peace built on inequality can only last so long and whispers abound in the city of another civil war brewing. One that could leave the city decimated in it's wake.
You are part of the elite SERAPH unit, a group of individuals handpicked for their potential. This particular unit of SERAPH is comprised solely of orphans that came from the Disasters of 3065.
