PRE-APOCALYPTIC ERA
3100s
By this time, global politics had split into two major alliances: the Western Union and the Eastern Union.
-
Western Union: Americas, Europe, Australasia
-
Eastern Union: Asia, Africa
A Cold War had begun between these two superpowers, leading to the rapid escalation in the development of biological and nuclear weapons.
3120
The formation and competition of two major science corporations began:
-
Athercrest Science Corporation – Research-focused
-
Western Virus Research Organisation – Military and weapons-focused
Both corporations operated under the influence of the Western Union. Their primary objective was to gain a strategic advantage over the Eastern Union and prevent global destruction.
GLOBAL WAR AND OUTBREAK ERA
3122
After more than 20 years of Cold War tension, open warfare erupted in Eastern Europe, as well as regions of Africa and South America, igniting World War III.
-
Nuclear weapons were initially avoided.
-
Warfare remained conventional and cyber-based.
-
Both Athercrest and the Western Virus Research Organisation were contracted by the Western Union to aid in the war effort.
October 20, 3131
An Athercrest Science Corporation aircraft carrying experimental viral and biological matter was shot down over the British Isles.
-
The plane contained three viruses: Viroxis, Genovex, and a third, unknown virus.
-
The crash was believed to have been caused by an Eastern Alliance missile.
-
The Eastern Alliance claimed ignorance, stating they were unaware it was an unarmed flight.
January 3132 – Viral Apocalypse
Due to the lack of containment protocols and military preparedness from Athercrest, the three viruses spread uncontrollably across the globe.
-
Rapid mutation of the viruses led to the emergence of new viral strains, creating mutants and monstrous entities.
-
Military forces struggled to contain outbreaks.
-
Billions perished within months.
-
Governments collapsed under the strain, and WW3 abruptly ended as nations shifted focus to internal survival.
-
The world descended into chaos, silence, and desolation.
POST-APOCALYPSE & RISE OF IVMO ERA
3133 – Formation of IVMO
Survivors from both the Athercrest Science Corporation and the Western Virus Research Organisation combined forces to create the International Virus Military Organisation (IVMO).
-
Their mission: To eradicate all viral threats and prevent human extinction.
-
A new Chairman was appointed – an experienced leader with both military and scientific backgrounds.
-
A secure, advanced facility was constructed, serving as a sanctuary for survivors, a research hub, and a containment center for viral entities.
3134 – Rebellion Formation
The newly formed IVMO military was put to the test when a resistance movement emerged.
-
Composed of ex-scientists, ex-military personnel, and refugees.
-
The rebellion was sparked by IVMO’s controversial decision to use refugees as test subjects in their viral research.
-
Their goal: To bring down the IVMO facility and end unethical experimentation.
