![]() The people of Earth were mud bound people, stuck in the past. There had always been a certain amount of tension between the different survivors. The Lunar Cities, already allied, made their alliance more official. This would spur the colonies to form the Allied Colonial Treaty Organization, which would bring them varied colonies under a single ruling body, the A.C.T.O. One of their first actions to put a small fleet into orbit. The Earth Federation changed it name to the Earth United Alliance and created the Army of the Alliance, to deal with growing threats. In the year 67 the time of what could be considered peaceful rebuilding ended. They were heroes, but heroes who had failed. On the Moon the member of Silent Echo had set up. In the L points mass quantities of broken asteroid had come to a stop, giving those in space the initial materials they needed to build their first O-Neil colonies. The EF acted as a central agency for the rebuilding. On Earth the survivors came under the benevolent but firm control of the Earth Federation. Later the date of this impact would be called Year 0.Īt the time however, people were too busy trying to rebuild to think much about that. In the end the incident was not one that caused mass extinction, but man, many people died. Many stones missed the planet, but circled around, destroying several of the new fledged colonies. Instead of a single impact there where hundreds, spread across the planet, some directly impacting the shelters. Instead of small rocks that would dazzle the people of the planet with the most amazing meteor shower, huge chunks of nickel and carbon flamed across the sky and them impacted. The huge rock was broken into over a hundred pieces, but it had needed to be broken into over ten thousand if the world was to be saved. Later members of Silent Echo would talk of sabotage of how their flagship, 'The Celeste' exploded when its main plasma cannon exploded of the failure of nearly a third of the nuclear charges to fail to detonate. Two days before impact Silent Echo started Operation 'World Shield', detonating the nuclear charges and opening up with their ship mounted and mobile armour mounted weapons. Amazement grew as the ships launched their Mobile Armours, amazing vehicles that were able to work effectively around the asteroid. People watched in amazement, with growing hope, as the forces of Silent Echo sped off in highly advanced ships. In December of 2035, 1 week before the impact, the group known as Silent Echo, a think tank and weapons design firm, launched its own force to stop the asteroid. These people began to build colonies, simple structures, where life was hard, and the people had to alter their genetics to survive in the inhospitable environment. Some left the planet, using the orbital transports to move into the L points around earth, opposite to the side the asteroid was to hit on. These huge fortresses were designed to stand up to the after effects of the impact. Some sought out shelters on earth, far from the projected impact site, far from the opposite side of the world where the mass volcanic eruption was predicted. The rock on its way to Earth was an extinction event for almost every living thing on the planet. Earth quakes, tidal waves, dust clouds, volcanic eruptions, these were all predicted. The asteroid would it on the West Coast of North America, its huge length landing in both ocean and land. As it became obvious that their doom was coming, the people of Earth looked for ways to survive. And few of those wanted to work together. There was no one country that had a space program that might offer the possibility of stopping the asteroid. Too many thought it was a trick by their enemies to make them lower their guard. And even once people started to take notice it took even longer to convince many of the truths. ![]() When astronomers finally spotted it it took them months and months to convince anyone to pay attention. When a previously unknown comet struck an asteroid, sending a piece of rock almost a thousand kilometres long on a twisting course towards Earth. Untold numbers died every day and it was little surprise that no one was looking up. Limited resources, religious and political differences and age old resentments all sparked hundreds of conflicts across the planet. In the Pre-Impact Year of 2032 the world was at war.
