Thanx, Q_C
The year is unknown...but it is the distant future.
The Earth has been devastated by a war between humankind and an alliance of three alien races. One originating beneath the surface of Mars; one from a small planet in the Andromeda Galaxy; and one from unknown origins called the Lucians, from a planet beyond human awareness. The races, all having attacked to keep mankind from spreading its influence into space, attacked without attempts at peaceful co-existence. The alien races were equally devastated by this war, and now have not the capacity of energy or technology remaining to return to their home planets. They co-exist on our planet, though not peacefully.
Some remain at war with humans, but now war with one another as well. Only eleven areas of the earth's surface exist as livable without the assistance of bodysuits and oxygen masks, each protected by a large dome for protection from the outside environment. Four of these cities are controlled by the powerful Lucians; three by the Andromedians; and, with the recent destruction of Althemidy, three by the Martians. Only one, called Zion, is under human control.
The humans, armed with ancient weapons (rifles, pistols, and a few more high-tech weapons--all projectile weaponry) fight for day-to-day survival against all these more advanced technological enemies. Some humans wish to remain at war with these other factions; some wish to make peace; some wish to exist on their own, ignoring the world's current state altogether. But many years have passed since the war, and many of the people living in Zion have never encountered the enemy. They've never seen the Martians, their narrow bodies and long arms, large heads. They've never fought the Andromedians with their extra limbs, in their tech-suits of body armor. They've never encountered the Lucian laser weaponry, or dealt with the psychic weaponry they possess.
But, as the years pass, some have learned to live in peace, while others have grown more in the ways of war and conflict. Zed, one of the strongest military leaders in Zion's history, has turned against his own and manipulated the power the Council of Elders has granted him, turning Zion into an enemy to many and managing to destroy much of its population in the process. Now, his followers, calling themselves "The Loyalists," plot to control the city by any means necessary.
The New Republic, a small but growing alliance between humans and Andromedians, is rising to meet the challenges facing the world, hoping to at very least save some of the humans remaining in Zion from Zed's arrogance. Three months have passed since their exile from the caves beneath the ruined human city of Filda, and New Republic has set up several encampments in the desert between the ruins of Filda and the ruins of Althemidy, beginning the construction of a new city.
