I don't think there has been a darker day in my life than the day that asteroid began its barrage on the Earth. We had thought it would pass us by. The trajectory was all wrong for a collision. My colleagues around the globe had agreed with the assessment that there would be a near-miss event, bu...
Brothers and sisters, the Firefall has ravaged our great country of its true leadership. It has unleashed enormous destruction that obliterated our once glorious capital and mighty cities. But even before our president and senators could be given a proper memorial, the Connies ...
The following transcript is taken from a meeting between Chancellor Nicolas Kreutzer and his military advisers in Bern, Switzerland. Immediately preceding the War of Reunification, it offers insight into the events that happened in Europe in the aftermath of the Firefall. More importantly, it off...
The following is a letter from Dr. Murray Kearney to a colleague in Hastings, New Zealand. Dr. Kearney was a well known medical doctor who remained in his hometown of Dunedin, New Zealand to provide medical assistance to fellow survivors. Written in 2184, it provides a rare understanding of life ...
I remember when the rock fell out of orbit. We could see it all the way from my hometown in Akita. We watched, mouths agape, as it silently smashed into Tokyo. Moments later the deafening roar of the city's destruction hit us. It didn't feel real until that point, but afterwards there was no doub...
I'm not sure what I expect from writing this. But at least it helps pass the time. I never thought that I'd be a part of something like this. We left port on a full dropship. Twenty men. hell, it was more like five men and fifteen boys. My brother had already done a few runs to Atlantis. He kept ...
I remember some of my childhood in Athens, before the Firefall. The memories are only glimpses though. I remember my mother. I remember her taking me to the Parthenon, the Temple of Hephaestus, Mount Lycabettus. She wanted to show me the masterpieces of my ancestors. I remember the Olympic Stadiu...
First, let me personally welcome you to the Omnidyne PR team! I know you share my excitement for the future of energy powered by crystite. As a new member of our Corporate Tours team, you are an important ambassador for the company, and an educator of the general public on this important new reso...
Alpha Prime was founded largely out of necessity. The incredible time and cost of transporting mass across interstellar distances would not otherwise be justifiable. It takes enormous amounts of energy to reach speeds even approaching one tenth of the speed of light, which is why our first probes...
I was recruited by the Centauri Company to work on Alpha Prime. They were planning to open a university in Ichizoku City for the college aged children of Alpha Prime colonists to attend. The position was for the head of the history department and the pay outmatched anything on Earth. Ever since m...

Smokestack is the name of the large desert plateau located in western New Eden. Though Accord seismologists have repeatedly stated that the region is “now completely stable,” its formation literally happened within a year’s duration.

As the Accord’s main source of crystite, Dredge has become a thriving and crucial strategic asset. Home to daring crystite extraction teams, it’s proximity to the Melding has also made it a hub of search and rescue operations, as well as the target of relentless Chosen attacks that keep the Accord busy.
Earth was torn apart by the destruction of both the Firefall event and the coming of the Melding. The only animal life that remains are left-overs from the Alpha Prime missions or mutated creatures that emerged from inside the Melding. Some are peaceful, most are not. Knowing which one you face will determine your survival.
Since the advent of crystite reactors, MEK systems (Mechanically Enhanced Kinetics) have come into their own as an essential part of any battleforce. Before CP (crystite power) powerplants, MEK systems were largely the realm of heavy industry or short duration uses, such as the popular Holmgang battleframe sports. Military grade frames are primarily manufactured by Enermax, Inc., who remain the largest supplier of weapon systems in the world.
