CY 2273 World War Four
Global nuclear bombardment scorched the Earth exterminating its ecosystems and devastated the world's economies. Electromagnetic warfare rendered the world’s data networks obsolete. Faced with utter annihilation the remnants of a shattered Earth merged into a single unified society and from the ashes of the global massacre erected a city to be a beacon of hope for Humanities uncertain future. A city unlike any other city before it: the Megacity
CY 2300s For a time Humanity regained its former glory as a new age is ushered in. For a time Humankind enjoys peace, prosperity and tranquility as new advances in science, technology, medicine and Artificial Intelligence simplified life for all its citizens. There was shelter and safety for all. Humanity had redeemed itself. For a time
CY 2596 But the legacy of the old world lived on. The bio-nuclear bombardment of World War IV irrevocably altered Human evolution spawning a new, unique breed of Humanity: the Axion, Human beings who possessed astounding, sometimes frightening abilities. And with this evolutionary shift came a new realization: the radioactive fallout of the last world war somehow altered the Human Genome in such a way as to create a wholly new race born from the irradiated genetic material of common Homosapiens. At first these ‘Children of the Atom’ were only feared. But time was not long before fear gave way to hatred
CY 2609 Apprehensive of losing the fragile peace and solace of the Megaopolis the War Council created the Axion Suppression and Control Act the first piece of legislation that attempted to govern and control the Axion menace. Under the new law Axions were forced to surrender to routine examinations and DNA registration with the Law District or be arrested and have their citizenship revoked which effectively allowed the War Council to keep a watchful eye on any possible future Axion insurgents
CY 2618 Thousands were subjected to inhumane experiments in the guise of helping Axions cope with their inhuman abilities. However the Axion Suppression and Control Act merely added more fuel to the pyre. Many Axions did not want to be controlled and rebelled against an establishment that wanted only to control or eliminate them. Rioting began which the War Council responded to by creating the Genetic Manifesto a formal declaration of Human Genetic Superiority and infallibility and in many other respects, a declaration of war. However the most vital influence of the Genetic Manifesto was the vehement proscription of the very existence of any form of organic sentient life not entirely and verifiably human. The legislation of the Genetic Manifesto meant that the mere existence of Axions was itself a crime against Man and nature itself punishable by death
CY 2632 Humanity's role as the dominant species is uncertain. Corrupt corporations spew propaganda to lethargic masses. Axion-related crime is at an all time high. Within the Megacity a silent war is being fought between Humanity and its wayward offspring
