STORY:
(Totally ran out of time on putting this in the game)

After endless research, humankind has just discovered Subspace Envelope Communication (SEC), finally obtaining FTL communication. Colonization and wealth reached new heights, but with great profits come great conflicts.
Eventually tensions boiled over, resulting in what became known as the "10 SEC War".

The SEC technology uses subspace currents to transmit communication at FTL speeds. However, these currents are only periodic, allowing communication only briefly every 10 seconds. Normally, this is unimportant, but in war, every second matters.
