Prologue:A brief history

The year 1967 was when it all changed. Soviet archaeologists in the Kazakh SSR discovered ancient artifacts left by godlike aliens that resided on Earth before humanity. Researching them, the Soviet Union gained immense power, and used it to take over the world and expand across space.

Currently, the Soviet Union controls the Sol system, and maintains colonies across dozens of outer worlds. They have a powerful Navy and Army that they use to subjugate worlds that contained foreign species.

The Irken Empire has seen this new superpower as a nuisance, as the Soviets still have years to go before they reach the amount of superiority that the Irken Armada has. The lack of DNA in the Irken Smeeteries has led to more shorter, and more defective Irkens. These defecties are mocked and mistreated more than any other Irkens. Resentment boils among the lower crust of Irken society, and some defectives are drifting towards the promise of equality under the Soviet Union.

A new species has spread across the Galaxy. Calling themselves the Ranshu, they are an imperialistic, and militaristic-like group that have close ties with the Irken Empire.

Operation Impending Doom II has succeeded, with the Irkens gaining territory far beyond what they once had. Zim is on Earth, having been exiled there by the Almighty Tallest. Dib Membrane struggles under new laws imposed by the State, and Professor Membrane has been employed by the State to help research new technology. Zim and Dib are still rivals, but no longer wish to kill each other.

Thus, the story of rebellion, of revolution, and of suffering begins.

A/N:Before I start Chapter One, I want to know how many of you actually want to see more.
