[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 4524090, member: 2012"] [B]The Third Chronicle[/B] The Third Chronicle officially begins in the year 2200 with the formation of the [B]World Union Alliance[/B], which replaces the United Nations. (The UN fell apart during the Third World War.) The World Union Alliance (WUA) is a more powerful world government with the ability to step in anywhere to quash injustice and human rights violations. It is considered to have jurisdiction over all world issues including all conflicts that involve two or more countries, environmental disasters, genocide, mutation, religious freedom, space exploration (including terraforming), super beings, world-changing technologies (i.e. super soldier projects), xenoform threats, etc. The World Union Alliance would form many planetary agencies to protect Guardian Earth and the solar system. The most powerful of these agencies is [B]First Defense[/B]. [B]First Defense[/B] Some of the most important Third Chronicle heroes are part of an elite superhero team known as First Defense. It is responsible for the defense of the WUA and its holdings throughout the solar system. First Defense is the superhero division of [B]Department 7[/B] (borrowed from d20 Modern), a black ops military agency that was created by the WUA in 2225 after the world's leaders discover the existence of [B]Watchdog Station[/B] built by the First Guardian who had died defending the Earth from an alien interloper. This First Guardian (i.e. Darkstar) recorded a message detailing the existence of the evil force known throughout the universe for its destructive influence and incorporeal nature. The Darkness, as he called it, enslaved entire species, bending them to its awful will. The alien interloper had been a member of one of these servant species. Darkstar told them of the great gift (or curse, depending on one's point-of-view) that had been passed to humanity through the will of a conclave of Predecessors, the previous species to wear the mantle of Guardians of Creation. The Predecessors had not only passed humanity the Energy but also a great deal of the technical knowledge of the all the previous Guardian species. This knowledge would usually lay dormant in the DNA of all those touched by the Energy, but it could manifest in individuals as flashes of technological insight. Darkstar built Watchdog Station to store as much of the technological information that he had gained as he could and created a powerful AI to run the station after his death, which he had known would happen. The AI, called [B]Watchdog[/B], contained part of the First Guardian’s knowledge and experiences as well. It and its robotic entities stood to defend the Earth from The Darkness. The First Guardian's message suggested the formation of First Defense and that such a force would be needed within 100 to 200 years, minimum. The creation of First Defense only came about after a heated debate as to whether or not the First Guardian had spoken the truth or if it was a trick by some unknown alien force. (Darkstar hadn't been popular with the world leaders of the late 20th Century.) It took nearly 75 years to bring the countries of the world together to form First Defense and another 75 years to decipher the key knowledge required to create the process of genetic manipulation without the risks of the super soldier experiments of the late 20th (and early 21st) Century, which had obviously been flashes of insight gained by scientists by who were (unbenost to them) touched by the Energy. Department 7 was given control of Watchdog Station and the organization has uncovered that agents of The Darkness have already found their way to Earth. These agents sow the seeds of dissent in the WUA, civilian organizations around the world, and throughout the solar system. The colonies on Mars are particularly hard pressed as are the mining facilities orbiting Jupiter and Saturn. Clandestine raiders attack convoys and patrols out of the asteroid field; although, not all of these raiders are under the sway of The Darkness. Spies, saboteurs, assassins, and super powered minions are causing problems from one end of the solar system to the other. The year is 2375. [/QUOTE]
