It is pretty complex, but the 5 dollar summary is as follows:
2 alien races, one humanish but with golike powers and the other, thier shapeshifting hive-mind enemeies fought a big war thousands of years ago. a prison ship loaded exiles and or bad guys of both of these races crash landed on earth thousands of years ago.
Memebers of both factions spent the next several thousand years pretending to be gods to all the primative screw head humans they found on earth, so they could control the society.
The atlatenas, a sub-species of humanity with great magical powers, were also living on earth when the aliens crashed, and they were not fooled by the whole pretending to be gods trick.
Empires rose and fell, aliens fought aliens and atlanteans, etc for thousands of years.
A group of atlantean sorcerers messed with human genetic so that whne the bulk of the bad guy aliens showed up, it would trigger a change in many humans, unlocking their access to the mystical energy, KA, making them into super-heroes who could fight the invading Chimerans (bad guys)
What all this does is set up a pretty cool world with tons of different factions most of which can be the PC's and or their enemies. I will see if I can get Jerry Grayson, the author, to pop in over here to answer more settings questions.
