   Well, the setting is... Weird.    
   First off, I created it when I was reading Lord of the Rings books, and   
   simultaneously reading Atomic Rockets. After that I played with Lego, and   
   cause I didn't want to play two different stories, I connected it.    
   On the east side of Arda, the Lotr Earth, live dwarves, humans and elves just   
   like on the west, in Middle-Earth. But because there aren't many magical   
   enemies to deal with, the technological progress is unhampered. The primary   
   roles are in hands of    
   Dwarves and Humans, who create United Dwarven-Human Empire (UDHE). They start   
   exploring space, find two Earth-like, or in this case, Arda-like, planets. But   
   for many nations inhabiting Arda and these two planets, that's not enough, so   
   they explore beyond    
   the system (Also, the closest planetary system to Arda is closer than Proxima   
   Centauri to Earth, stars are tightly packed in my universe).    
   They terraform, create new colonies, "Build better worlds" in overall. But   
   although in Arda system there weren't many uprisings and wars between The   
   Three (maybe that's a good name for them :p), in the outside it's different.   
   Colonists are creating their    
   own nationality, more worlds start to burn, and even more "alien" dangers   
   appear.    
   And here comes United Dwarven-Human Empire Colonial Marines Corp.
