You're treated to a brief history of human civilization on the planet, which you now know as Rockwell. The First Colonists had landed just over a century ago, as soon as the terraforming parameters were within range for human life. They established a centralized colony around what they called Arcadia City, right in the middle of the planet's only Pangaea-esque continent, then spreading themselves wide across the land and its' handful of large outlying islands. The colonists were all Whites from various nations, primarily wishing to establish an ethnocolony free of the everpresent racial tensions on Earth.
You vaguely remember hearing about this colony expedition, it having left seven years before you had. Its departure was marked with significant tension from both within and without. Unsurprisingly, selling an eclectic mix of right-wing dissidents and white separatists a colony ship was not a popular move.
The departure of this ship was the catalyzing moment for a similar mission comprised of militant Black nationalists, Pan-Africanists, and left-wing groups to do the same, except instead of building their own paradise among the stars, they swore to take theirs from the evil white flighters.
Considerable space aboard a standard Colony Ship was intended for the automated terraforming equipment that would turn a sufficiently-spinning rock in the habitability zone of a star's orbit into a proper home for humans. The Hotep Mission of Interstellar Security, being what would later be termed a "claim jumper mission" after the practice from the old California Gold Rush days instead used the volume and tonnage for weapons, ammunition, uniforms, rations, and all the other equipment needed to sustain armed men on a military campaign. They arrived at Rockwell sixty years after the First Colonists did, and their assault upon Arcadia City sparked the Arrival War, sometime during which a deployed hunter-killer satellite belonging to one of the sides fired upon a third colony ship, yours, which then broke up in orbit. The mention of your expedition was little more than a footnote in the history book she was reading from.
Heavy fighting and the destruction of the planet's only developed industrial complex caused both sides to technologically backslide as decades of low-intensity racial warfare drew onward. The First Colonists, Rockwellers, had decided to retreat to several enclaves both on the continent and the islands surrounding it, while the Hoteps, now fractured between two major groups, the Army of New Afrika and the Twelve Tribes, expanded and exploited the majority of the mainland and the infrastructure left behind by the Rockwellers they killed along the way. The enclave of Rockwellers closest to you was considered one of the most developed. Haven Island, which had been making efforts to reclaim parts of the continent for settlers from the now-crowded island refuge.
