After the oppression of an attempt by the CORE to establish a full base on Empyrrean, the Commander used the Galactic Gate once used by the CORE to purge the galaxy of their enemy. The ARM campaign starts with the ARM homeworld of Empyrrean being successfully invaded by the CORE while the ARM Commander was lured on to the Planet of Calabran a small team of the last remaining ARM units was tasked with activating a Galactic Gate to ensure the Commander was returned safely to Empyrrean. The campaign continues with the Commander taking the planets held by the ARM and capturing their Galactic Gates to reach other ARM planets, and ends with the CORE Commander invading Empyrrean and obliterating the ARM Commander. After eliminating most of the forces that had invaded CORE Prime, a Galactic Gate was discovered that had been used by the ARM to reach CORE Prime. The CORE campaign starts with the ARM successfully invading CORE Prime undetected and deactivating what was assumed to be the last remaining CORE Commander while it was undergoing maintenance a team of a units comprising mostly of Kbots and a few Vehicles attempt to eliminate the ARM and reactivate the Commander. The resulting conflict then escalated into a war that would last four thousand years.
The peace was broken when the CORE imposed a mandate on the humans to undergo the patterning process as a public health measure when many of the humans refused the process, the CORE announced that any human who refused the process would be obliterated, and a rebel band known as the ARM was formed out of colonies throughout the galaxy, consisting of humans who refused to leave their natural bodies. During this peaceful time the CORE made a breakthrough in which they found a way for the human consciousness to be transferred safely into a machine through a process they called patterning, which theoretically granted the humans immortality. The CORE's technological and economic triumphs have allowed humanity to colonize most of the Milky Way and enjoy peace and prosperity. The story is set many thousands of years from now and the galaxy is ruled by a benevolent central body of humans and artificial intelligence modules called the CORE (an abbreviation of " COnsciousness REpository"). Metal (grey/blue) and Energy (yellow/orange) are displayed at the top of the screen and the Minimap, Build Pics and Unit Controls are displayed on the left hand side. The CORE homeworld is a lifeless metal wasteland known as CORE Prime, which is governed by a computer named central conciousness that is buried far below the surface of the planet The ARM homeworld is a green paradise known as Empyrrean, a planet that is rich in life and reflects the natural biological existence that the ARM strive to live for. Total Annihilation is set many thousands of years in the future during the events of a galactic war between the CORE empire and the ARM rebellion, with battles raging on various planets and moons. The lead designer of Total Annihilation, Chris Taylor, went on to create Supreme Commander, which is considered the 'spiritual successor' of Total Annihilation.
