If I'm correct in reading what Merrow is saying, the first race wouldn't necessarily be evil or benevolent to our minds, just as ants probably don't see humans as wicked and tyrannical.

Who do you include under 'current major powers'? Do you mean governments? Or are you saying they precede all other known species?

You play a regular Human as the supernatural enemies will target the Nightbane before you in a fight. Also in my opinion role-playing is about playing an interesting character and not just the one with the highest stats.

During that time the Southern Cross is being formed. I think it would be a fun campaign to have the players involved in its creation. The players could be test pilots for the brand new veritech tanks. Another one is to be sent to Mars to help rebuild the base there.
