In the year 2250, Earth bore witness to the poignant aftermath of a once-mighty government's collapse. The remnants of authority and order crumbled, leaving a void that nature and human resilience sought to fill. Amid the ruins of The United Earth Government, the agricultural colonies, once united in purpose, found themselves at a crossroads. The vacuum of power birthed a tumultuous period as these once-cooperative colonies morphed into distinct factions, each driven by its interpretation of survival and prosperity. The lush orbital farms that once circled Earth now became symbolic rings of contention, orbiting as witnesses to a struggle for dominance. Now in the year 2850 factions emerged from the ashes of unity.
Their motives varied— some sought control over fertile lands, while others vied for mastery over the remnants of advanced technology. As Earth became an arena for ideological and resource-driven conflicts, competing for the scant resources that clung to the scarred surface of the planet. The fractured political landscape painted a picture of competing interests, each faction possessing its vision for a future shaped by its unique history and aspirations. Borders, once drawn on maps, were now contested territories where alliances formed and crumbled with the shifting winds of desperation and ambition.
In the wake of the collapse of the United Earth government, the once-unified efforts to sustain humanity now fractured into a mosaic of conflicting ideologies and strategies. The fertile grounds of Earth, scarred by both environmental upheaval and human strife, became a battleground for the survival of factions and the ideals they clung to. As the remnants of the past were reclaimed by nature, the future hung in the balance, uncertain and teetering on the edge of what was once a united home.
