History
Alastor Odon founded Arkangel in 2013, then under the name Odon. Odon Corporation pioneered privatized space travel technology after a long period of astronautical stagnation. Governments on Earth were too interested in fighting one another on the ground to take the time to look up toward the stars.

After testing out many propulsion technologies a new goal for the company was proposed, to go even further than Earth's Moon, Luna, they promised a new frontier for humanity on Mars, the Red Planet. Rebranding as Arkangel, a play on Archangel with Arks being the names for the colony ships that would eventually take humanity to Mars and the rest of the solar system, and Angel being the all powerful savior of humanity.

However Arkangel had a secret other agenda, building orbital battleships for the United States to wage war far above Earth's surface.

Arkangel also came under heavy fire from other space travel corporations, aiming to beat them to Mars and in the war effect. Chinese and Russian corporations pioneered their own technology and soon, American and Russian battleships were blowing each other up far above Earth.

Earth was quickly becoming overpopulated and polluted, the ozone layer was fading, temperatures were rising as were the sea levels, and Odon Corporation promised a new life on Mars. Domed luxurious cities, green technology free of all carbon emissions and completely safe from all hazards of Earth far away. Little did the naive population of Earth know that these luxury mars colonies would only be available for the 1% who could afford it. Domed cities were built by an effective slave force of migrants from Earth, believing that their efforts would be rewarded with luxury under the domes.
