In 1988, Mikhail Sergeyevich Gorbachev became head of state of the Soviet Union. A serious and solemn man, he was dedicated to the ideals of Communism and disgusted by what he saw as the failure of the Soviet Union to achieve Marx's dream. He quickly restructured the Party and focused his efforts almost exclusively on forging a union with China. By 1992, China had been fully integrated into the Socialist Sino-Soviet Republic (SSSR) and its industry and manpower revitalized the weakened Soviet economy, returning it to an even footing with the capitalist West.

Gorbachev did not believe that he had saved the communist dream by these actions, however. He still viewed the Soviet Union as a failure and integrating China was simply the foundation for his greater goal: spreading his people into space where truly socialist societies could be established independently, protected but not governed by the might of the SSSR. Gorbachev invested much of his vast nation's industry into aerospace technology to build ships capable of exploring, and then colonizing, the solar system. He did not expect the imperialist bourgeois westerners to let communism spread to the stars, however, and his counterparts in America and Europe were rapidly advancing their own space technologies, so the Solar Defense Fleet (SDF) was formed out of the best Naval and Air Force officers in the Republic, and construction began on the first generation of space warships.

On June 25 1996, the first Gagarin class frigate was launched from Vladivostok Spaceport, carrying highly experimental [CLASSIFIED] weapons.
