- 1943. The Axis Powers make a breakthrough in rocket and atomic technologies. successfully creating the world's first Atom Bomb, the V-3.
- The Axis Powers proceed to threaten the Allied Forces to admit defeat or face their destruction.
- The Allied Forces keep a very tight censure on this threat to keep the citizens from descending into panic and chaos.
- Deciding to take action, they assemble an elite black ops team, from deep undercover spies and high ranking dissident officers of the Axis Powers as a last resort, to sabotage the V-3.
- Operation Broken Blade begins near the end of the year, and succeeds in December 19th, causing the V-3 to explode in it's secret bunker, creating the Eastern European Deadzone (referred to as EED), and destroying the superweapon in possession of the Axis Powers.

- A treaty is signed by the winners, declaring the usage of V-3 class weapons as forbidden.
- Usable assets are divided between the Allied Forces. The USSR takes possession of Johan Von Reine among other scientists.
- The Allied Forces, having been in knowledge of Johan's work, fight a brutal, bureaucratic, political war between themselves which the USSR wins by seceding the Easter European Deadzone (EED) to gain ownership of Johan Von Reine.
- In a politically charged decision not to start a cold war, the USA decides to take this offer. The sterilization of Eastern European Deadzone (EED) by the USA begins.
- 1948. While the USA is cleaning the Eastern European Deadzone, they discover ores, that seem to be metal infused with living matter, forming a 3 dimensional deposit of Graphene.
- After much biological and mineral research, it is determined that it's a mutation birth defect in a specific reptilian species due to the radiation in the EED .
- Further tests prove that this new material is 200 times better than the strongest steel.

- This marks the beginning of the First Interplanetary Wars.
- 2016. As the First Interplanetary War rages on between HEMC and RMH, a terrorist attack by Europa colonists is carried out in the world capital of Earth, New Hope.
- The terrorists manage to blow up a V-4 category hydrogen bomb, destroying half of the city and killing one third of it's population. This turns the tables on HEMC's winning streak against RMH .
- As a retaliation, the HEMC demands the Mars colonies take action against the newly formed Moons Alliance (MA), and by extension, Moon and Europa colonies.
- The Mars colonies, deploy a never seen before weapon, the "Xynthal". A precision laser based technology left behind by ancient civilizations outfitted onto orbital turrets.
- These turrets deliver a crippling blow to moon colonies.
