Historical Events

• (confirm) Early Year: During the final stages of the econo-technological race against the ECON, the US government began construction on a large defensive space cruiser, tentatively christened the Seneca, for challenging Econ orbital supremacy in the 800-4000 km region.

The start of construction within the year is assumed.

• The New United Nations sides with the Western Alliance on legal use of oil fields in the South China Sea and Antarctica. The ECON secedes from the NUN in protest. (SFC)
• Late Year: A series of confrontations between the New United Nations and the ECON begin to occur over oil fields located in Antarctica and China.

The start date is conjecture, but is based on having occurred a few months before the ECON's first strike nuclear attack on the NUN.
