Daegon

The Daegon were a mysterious faction of genetically enhanced humans from somewhere beyond the Veil. Having been unknown to the rest of humanity for millenia, their fanatical society finally revealed itself by launching a violent conquest of the various star nations surrounding Earth.

Final Crusade
One of the first known victims of the Daegon was the mining colony on the ice planet Sevastopol, which was destroyed along with the pirate vessel Cabo. Shortly thereafter, a full-blown invasion of Albion was launched through an artificial slip point nexus above the planet's north pole. Albion's orbital command and Ford Coronado were swiftly wiped out by the Daegon's superior firepower, and invasion forces were dropped on the surface, concentrating on the capital city of New Exeter.
