The battle with the Tehral Federation had come as a surprise to the humans. It had been sixteen years of fair trade and open space, and then one day, it was all out war. An alien species that saw us as miniscule scum, unworthy of the planet we inhabited. The humans, had limited advanced space flight and only planetary defences such as ground mounted direct energy weapons. These were guided by deep space scanners which would fire through the atmosphere and hit ships as far away as Mars. We humans came out as the underdogs, using nuclear weapons, guerilla tactics and close earth planetary defence to fight the enemy where they were weakest. Seven billion humans on one planet and a few space stations defeated the one billion Tehrals who had advanced weaponry. That being said, they did not go down without a fight. Most recent estimates say there may only be four million humans left on earth and abroad. There was a 400 story alien ship that went down somewhere in Siberia and it blew a massive crater in the ground, rendering the surrounding two thousand kilometres, uninhabitable.
