The world after the disaster
War...
War changed the world.
It lasted seven days, but its aftermath destroyed civilization. Electromagnetic pulses, neutron bombs, and nuclear strikes destroyed 98% of the planet's electronics.
The pulse plunged the Earth into chaos. Technology survived only in shielded bunkers deep underground.
Transport froze. Communications were interrupted. Industry ground to a halt.
Thus began 2132 — the Age of Darkness.
