	Those that could fled the Cradle Worlds to the Frontier worlds, minor colonies on the edge of human controlled space. For a long time the frontier worlds lived in the shadow of the Cradle worlds and were often ignored by the more sophisticated and decadent societies. Needless to say the small colonies were surprised when fleets of refugees that had escaped the Scourge invasion arrived over their worlds. Fearing the Scourge may soon come to the frontier world, many braced for the inevitable slaughter that would take place. But, the Scourge never came. Why the Scourge never attacked the frontier worlds is still a mystery. Not willing to risk another invasion, the Frontier worlds scrambled their jump nodes so nobody from outside the colonies could jump in. In the following 160 years, the massive influx of refugees plus a rise in birth rates lead to a population explosion across all colonies who now called themselves the United Colonies of Mankind. The resource rich frontier worlds were exploited to their fullest. Cities grew at an amazing speed. The new civilization became highly militant both out of fear the Scourge would find the Frontier worlds but also from a burning lust for revenge. State of the art battle-fleets were constructed and factories cranked out advanced war-machines and armaments to wage a crusade to take back mankind's lost colonies.
