EARTH-LINK: HISTORY OF THE FUTURE
By Thedarkarcon47

CHAPTER 1: WORLD WAR 3 (2011-2053)

THE THIRD WORLD WAR BEGAN WITH THE ASSASSINATION OF UNITED STATES PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA BY TERRORIST EXTREMISTS ON DECEMBER 21, 2011. THIS PLUNGED ALL OF THE WORLD POWERS INTO THE TERRIBLE 3RD WORLD WAR, WHICH LASTED FOR A DEVASTATING 42 YEARS AND CHANGED THE COURSE OF HUMANITY FOR A LONG TIME TO COME. WHILE THE COSTS WERE HIGH, THE UNITED NATIONS EVENTUALLY WON OVER THE TERRORISTS, WINNING PEACE AND PROSPERITY FOR THE WORLD. PRESIDENT GARRET KALIN OF THE UNITED STATES AGREED TO A REBUILDING PLAN FOR ALL THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD THAT SUFFERED, AND IN THE YEARS THAT FOLLOWED, HUMANITY'S COURSE WOULD EVENTUALLY BE CHANGED FOREVER.

CHAPTER 2: THE REBUILDING ERA (2053-2100)

DURING THE REBUILDING ERA, SCIENTISTS BEGAN RESEARCHING NEWER TECHNOLOGIES, AND MANY OF THE EARTH'S POWERS WERE BEING EITHER DESTROYED BY CORRUPTION OR MERGING WITH OTHER DYING POWERS TO SUSTAIN THEMSELVES. THE ONLY POWER THAT WAS SAFE WAS THE UNITED STATES, WHICH RELENTLESSLY CONTINUED ITS REBUILDING PLAN. IN FACT, THE MERGING OF DYING NATIONS WAS INDEED A PART OF THE REBUILDING PLAN, AS A WAY TO STRENGTHEN THE BONDS BETWEEN THE NATIONS AND PAVE THE WAY TO WORLD PEACE.

CHAPTER 3: THE UNITY OF THE WORLD ERA (2100-2125)

THE UNITY OF THE WORLD CAME LONG AND SLOW, BUT THIS ALSO PROVIDED OPPORTUNITIES TO BUILD MORE ADVANCED AND MORE CAPABLE STARSHIPS BY THE EARTH POWERS. IN THE YEAR 2105, THE UNITED STATES PUT A PLAN INTO ACTION TO UNITE THE WORLD POWERS INTO A SINGLE GOVERNMENT. WHILE MANY OF THE POWERS AGREED, A SELECT FEW WERE NOT SO SURE THE PLAN WOULD WORK. FORTUNATELY, IN THE YEARS THAT FOLLOWED, THEY CAST THEIR BELIEFS ASIDE AND JOINED THE NEWLY FORMED UNITED EMPIRE OF EARTH. EVENTUALLY, THE EMPIRE WOULD COLONIZE MARS, ITS MOONS, AND EVEN VENUS.



CHAPTER 4: THE GREAT WAR ERA (2137-2159)

AS THE YEARS PROGRESSED THE UNITED EMPIRE CAME MORE AND MORE DIFFICULT TO CONTROL. IN THE YEAR 2132, A GROUP OF EXTREMISTS KNOWN ONLY AS “THE CULT” AROSE AND DECLARED WAR ON THE STILL-NEW UNITED EMPIRE. THIS BEGAN WHAT IS KNOWN ONLY AS THE GREAT WAR, WITH MOST CULTISTS BEING FROM MARS. THE WAR WAS FOUGHT ON ALL FRONTS, ON EARTH, VENUS, AND MARS AS WELL AS THEIR MOONS AND ALSO SPACE. THE EARTH EMPIRE HAD BUILT UP A LARGE ENOUGH ARMY TO EVENTUALLY CONQUER THE WAR-LOVING CULTISTS AND QUELL THE CULTIST UPRISING.
