The human race is now a multiplanetary species. A feat that was made possible when Augusta Spencer and her team invented the F-1 spacecraft. It was at the time when the nuclear power plants on almost all countries on earth had been sabotaged by the Absurdist anarchists, a movement that comprised of hundreds of thousands of individuals all over the earth- who saw life as a mistake and wanted to redeem all conscious and unconscious creatures by annihilating them, putting end to all human suffering. They had infiltrated all government on earth and had access to their nuclear facilities. In that year, 5002, they blew up all the earth's nuclear power plants and left humanity to die as a result. Humans were dying of thermal injuries, lethal doses of ionising radiation, cancer and other ailments that resulted from the sabotage. Humans thought the only way to survive is to leave planet earth. Scientists from STEM dedicated their effort to constructing the fastest aircrafts and terraforming other planets in the Galaxy. For the first time all governments on earth came together as they had a common goal - saving humanity. This made it possible for joint financial support all over the earth towards the race to save the human race and indeed, animals deemed worthy of saving. Augusta, whose novel engineering made possible the construction of the F-1 spacecraft and the joint effort of elite cosmologists and several biologists made it possible to terraform other planets in our Galaxy, and for humans to leave the radioactive earth and establish homes on other planets. However not all humans were able to leave. A screening program was established to determine each individual's exposure to ionising radiation. Those whose radiation level exceeded 200 millisieverts were not allowed to board the ships, and were left to die on the decaying planet due to fear of contamination, and their supposed inability to reproduce. Naturally the question arose as to who were those to lead the new world order in space. A meeting was held by the confederation of world leaders in which it was decided that the elites who then, led each country on earth be made rulers in a monarchical system of royalty as was done in ancient times - those who had more influence on earth of course would be on the highest level of leadership. Emperor Vladimir Andrzej is now the leader of the space imperium and his kingdom lies in the glorious Atlántida, a planet of vast oceans and beautiful greenery. Vladimir, whose ancestor is Ivan Maric, the last president of Roussia which was a world power on earth, and the first emperor of the space imperium, is married to Johanna Kramer, a princess whose father is duke of Kälteland, a small and cold planet whose people are originally from Deutschland, then, a powerful country on earth. After the last spaceships left earth, the sick - a term commonly used to refer to those who had received doses of ionising radiation deemed dangerous, struggled to survive. There was anarchy until order was established by a man from the sick who was referred to as lord Mark of Lincoln, a country in The Americas. Lord mark ruled over the remains of the earth and formed a quasi-government supported by a military commonly referred to as the Stability force or S.F- who are mostly thugs and ex-convicts, and had branches all over the earth. He kept his rule stable by taking control of the estates and infrastructure of the previous governments, as well as ammunitions they were unable to carry. Mark's subordinates were the rulers of what was left in other countries of the earth, they ruled by terror and slavery. There have been many successors after the death of lord Mark and they ruled in a similar way as he did.
The Absurdist anarchists began as an online campaign for a philosophy known as absurdism, it was pioneered by a Lincolnian multimillionaire C.E.O named Ethan Coleman, who owned a game software design company known as L-Corp. He led the development of a game, then, very popular on earth known as annihilation. The game began by telling the tale of a man named Harrison Callahan who had a beautiful family, only to see them murdered by a drunk driver in a car which he himself drove. The driver, a congressman, was sentenced to 17 years imprisonment, a judgement Harrison deemed unfair. During the time the congressman was serving jail time, Harrison lost purpose in life save one; to kill the congressman once he got out of prison. It was a vow that he fulfilled albeit regretfully. Harrison lost the one purpose he had when he killed the congressman and slid into greater depression for years, however, he turned his angst towards existence itself and deemed life a mistake. Harrison then started recruiting a group of individuals who shared similar pessimistic attitude towards existence and with them, he began his mission to destroy all existing order and allow anarchy to rein, a state he perceived would put an end to humanity. They started by murdering politicians and sabotaging government property, hacking into military headquarters like Lincoln's Hexagon and setting off missiles, turning one government against the other. The ANNAHILATORS, as they were called, were later unmasked by the government and were on the run. The adventure developed into a grand social concern with the annihilators getting support from a few hundreds of thousands of individuals around the world.
The game was very popular among youths all over the world. It was all fun and games until some people started taking it seriously-which, as events later unfolded was Ethan Coleman's grand plan all along. Ethan, having seen the impact of his game created a fan base on an online social platform named CONEXION(which was a strong advocate of free speech) where he started to propagate the philosophy of absurdism. Within a short time, hundreds of thousands of people around the world, including very influential individuals subscribed to the philosophy, but there was a secret caucus of promising high profile individuals who Ethan had physically recruited and who had influence in top political and military organisations like WORLD CONFEDERATION, INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE OF PROSECUTORS, HIGH COURT OF THE WORLD, HEXAGON and so on, their main aim was to destroy humanity by destroying the world's nuclear facilities, and on March of 5002, their grand plan was achieved. The incident is referred to as the lightening of Zeus by the survivors. After the lightening of Zeus struck, the leaders of the ABSURDIST ANARCHISTS aired a message on Lincoln's national television revealing who they were and the reason for what they had done, what followed next was the members putting bullets through their brain, not excluding Ethan Coleman himself, however, the bodies of Ethan and his close associates was never found. People around the world were disturbed. The governments around the world reacted by constructing underground bunkers which could protect from ionising radiation, and eliminating after severe torture suspected members of the Absurdist anarchists. Only the mildly affected were allowed into the safe zones- as the underground facilities were called, while others sought shelters wherever they could find. SHIELDS which could protect from ionizing radiation where distributed to the people in the safe zones. It however dawned on world leaders that the measures that they had taken would not save humanity from extinction so they started thinking of ways to escape planet earth, a plan that was made feasible by elite scientists all over the world, most notably Augusta spencer and her team.
