Two centuries into the future, a very different world from that of
today.Countries and borders have little meaning. The world is
governed by what was once known as the United Nations.The World
Council, as it is called today, oversees all matters of a global
scale. Including energy production, food supply, and general security.
Those which were once nations, are now merely sub states. Capable of
some degree of self-determination. But in any and all areas they
encompass, the laws of the World Council are the final and absolute
word.

In the early years, shortly after the U.N. almost unamymously passed
it's last directive, establishing the World Council. There was much
strife amongst nationals of many regions. Protests, riots, and even
acts of organized terrorism became common. The newly formed World
Council quickly organized its paramilitary police force to combat the
terrorism. The Global Security Agency was formed from the remnants of
the armies of the world. Armed with all the weaponry of the 21st
century world, the GSA set forth on its crusade to rid the earth of
terrorism. This was not to be an easy task as it turned out. The
terrorist groups were heavily armed. During the transition to this new
world order, when great armies were disassembled and disarmed, chaos
reigned supreme. Massive amounts of weapons became available on the
black market. Disgruntled military commanders, corrupt weapons
inspectors, and the general lack of security during this time all made
this possible.

On many occasions, the GSA engaged terroroists in all out ground
campaigns. As the years dragged on however, the ranks of the
terrorists thinned. Many died on all sides, but the GSA had a much
easier time recruiting replacements. Gradually the terrorist
organizations moved from military confrontations with the GSA, to more
traditional means of their trade. These terrorist groups exist to this
day in many areas, and the GSA still combats their actions.

Fairly recently, a grave new threat has emerged. Some of the worlds
biggest cities have been destroyed by powerful nuclear devices. Most
of these warheads were delivered by missiles. The death toll has
quickly risen to over sixty million civilians for this year alone.
Nuclear weapons were outlawed by the World Council almost immediately
after it was formed, and none were thought to exist anymore. but the
devices that were used were much more powerful than anything that had
ever been created by any of the nations of the old world.

You are a GSA combat pilot. Though the amount of ships the
terrorists have is very small, there is still the occasional
encounter. You yourself were credited with downing 5 of them. You left
the GSA two years ago after your last encounter with the terrorists.
The fighter you fought went down in a populated area, and many
innocent people were killed.None,but your own conscience,blamed you
for the disaster. you swore you would never fly a combat ship again.
You left the GSA to marry your long time girlfriend. Soon after, your
first child was born, and the world was good.

But then... You received a mysterious message from a man who wanted
to meet you outside of the city. When you met him, he warned you to
get your family out of the city as soon as possible, and contact him
again after you had done that. you found this very strange, and did
not trust the man at first. Then he showed you the medal he had
received. He too had been a GSA combat pilot. And by the fact that the
medal he showed you was one of the highest decorations a man could
receive, a very good pilot. He told you there was an old transport
located at a disused landing pad near the city. You were to use
that aircraft to fly to the coordinates tha man gave you. So you
headed for home...

Stunned... You had just witnessed your city vaporized. Your wife
and the baby vanished, in a brilliant white flash of fate, forever from
the face of the earth. A moment that will live in your memories for
the rest of your days. In a waking dream, you slowly make yourself
realize you must get away from here. The landing pad, you know you
must get there. Then find the mystery man, he knew something of this.

You wake up in the cockpit of an unfamiliar ship. The events of the
previous night weigh heavily on your mind. You still cannot believe
it. How much your life was changed in a few dreadful seconds. All you
knew and loved, ceased to exist. You remember finding your way to this
ship. It took you awhile, and you were very tired by the time you
found the landing pad. All you could do in your distressed state was
get in the ship before you fell dead asleep. But now its time to go
find that man. You have some questions to ask him.
