Historical Events
Admin Note: These Historical Events are chronologically correct.
- February: Construction ceases on the Seneca, in favor of the more traditional, less ambitious Guardian series of large manned combat spacecraft.[1]
- The date construction ceased is assumed.
- Though no date is known, and while this could have occurred on May 1st or anytime after during open hostilities, it is presumed to a factor leading up to the nuclear exchange.
- By this year (and prior to 01 May), four of the ECON's Akademik Mstislav Keldysh class cruisers are completed. The Western Alliance would find its dominating presence challenged at some locations by the vessels.[3][4]
- The last known operational Class A2 / Mars Century SP-W03 "Zent" EVA pod is lost (or destroyed).[5]
- The last record of an operation Companion class cruiser is noted.[4]
- 01 May: The climax of World War Three is reached when the ECON strikes the NUN states with nuclear attacks, resulting in the deaths of an estimated 600 million.[6]
- 03 May: The First, Eighth, and Sixteenth Fleets under New United Nations command carry front-line troops into the Bay of Bengal and the ECON launches a massive invasion of the North American continent, sending troops and military aircraft southward through Canada. Targets in New England (including Massachusetts), Minnesota, the Rocky Mountains, and the Midwest are hit hard by ECON forces, the U.S. military's defenses along the Canadian border utterly failing. The United States Air Force and Army both fight back against the invaders, losing many fighters and ground soldiers to the opposition.[6]
- Late May: Certain military units are abandoned in enemy territory during the war, including a New United Nations brigade under the command of Colonel William Green in Kashmiristan. Finally, the Eastern Coalition's governing palace is destroyed by American forces, killing ECON general Lee Kuan.
- In light of the excess damage of the world war, the New United Nations collapses. The state of Texas secedes from the United States.[7][8]
- The date of the initial collapse of the NUN is assumed to occur with the arrival of WW III. It is resurrected in 2065.
- Following the collapse of the NUN in the final stages of World War III, the United States takes administrative control of the International Space Agency.[9]
- Mid Year: The Siege of Las Vegas rages, with American forces battling Eastern Coalition troops for control of the city; the ECON eventually proves victorious. During fighting in Paris, the Eiffel Tower is destroyed. Additional combat takes place in San Francisco, resulting in the destruction of the Coit Tower, among many others.[6]
- Time is conjecture.
- August 08: The main laboratory at Kashishowa Research Station literally disappears from the surface of Luna, taking most of the station with it and leaving behind a perfectly smooth crater 18 meters in diameter. This event appears to have resulted from an overload due to a warp drive experiment.[10]
- Late Year: The global war concludes when several of Earth's governments meet in San Francisco to declare a cease-fire.[11]
- Time is conjecture.
- The six O'Neil colonies are self-sustaining enough that they all survive the nuclear exchanges of World War Three and the subsequent chaos.[12]
