War. War never changes. The players and reasons may change. Technology may evolve. But war never changes.
In the 21st century, war was still waged over the resources that could be acquired. Only this time, the spoils of war were also its weapons: Petroleum and Uranium. For these resources, alliances would dissolve into quarreling and bickering, the former allies bent on controlling the last remaining resources on Earth.
In 2017, the storm of world war had come again with the election of the new President of the United States. In just two hours, a majority of the planet was reduced to ash. Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, a new civilization would struggle to arise. A few of the government structures were able to survive. Our hero was part of that group.
In 2020, that group is drafted into the renewed United States Marines. We begin our story in 2021, where our hero begins the path. Life is about to change.
