1Created by [[Tropers/ElodieHiras Elodie Hiras]], Dark Matter Aberration war is a SpaceOpera roleplaying game set in a futuristic fantasy universe. Humankind created a space empire, which erupted in civil war. Two factions quickly formed: [[TheFederation The Star Systems Federation]], and [[TheEmpire The Dylamian Empire]], an expansionnist dictatorship aiming to created the [[MasterRace genetically perfect human race]], and try to do so [[ANaziByAnyOtherName genociding inferior genetic strains]] [[SocialDarwinist so that only the strong remain]]. It is backed up by [[OurDemonsAreDifferent dark matter aberrations]], and is technically the most powerful faction in the universe. There are two reasons they are not in control of the entire universe: LaResistance, consistently [[SpannerInTheWorks derailling its operations]], and the [[BadassArmy Beta Shirian Armed Forces]], consistently claiming military victories for the Federation. But in the long run, TheFederation is doomed. For this reason, the federal high command decided to create a special unit for highly strategic sabotages and military operations deep behind ennemy lines.
