+  *The war in Ukraine ends with the outbreak of civil war in Russia and a massive effort by Europe and the United States to secure Russian nuclear weapons.
+  *With the globe distracted China invades Taiwan, the US in the middle of an economic depression, makes a token effort but the island falls to the great cost of both sides. The resulting sanctions, disruptions to the electronics supply chain, and massive economic damage due to the failure of the three gorges dam due to Taiwanese ballistic missile strikes collapses the global economy in less than a week.
+  *Seeing their strategic situation both Korea and Japan enter into a joint program to develop nuclear weapons and achieve their goal within six months.
+  *US economic collapse leads to a double dip global trade collapse.
+  *US military withdraws from global obligations.
+  *Various climate driven crisis lead to mass migrations and cause massive conflicts in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia.
+  *European migrant crisis reaches a tipping point as countries either clamp down on the influx of ill fitting refugees or drown under the tide.
+  *Center-Right governments seize power in Germany, Poland, and Sweden and begin to re-militarize their respective states.
+  *France and the UK collapse into civil war between far left pro-migrant factions content to keep things as they are and center right / far right factions who see the writing on the wall and a collapse similar to the one seen in the United States coming sooner than later.

 ===The Remaining (February 2254 A.D.)===
-Of the thirty billion that inhabited the solar system in the previous year only twelve million remain alive, most were killed either directly by strikes or by the consequence of living in the artificial environment of space and terrestrial habitats as life support systems failed or consumable resources stopped arriving. Earth by now nothing more than a brown and gray marble as it entered a new ice age brought on by man. Those that remained gathered wherever there was fuel, air, or resources to survive. One of those places was the remote FTL research facility, who on the eve of the war had a breakthrough and tested their first prototype drive. Still slow by the scheme of galactic distances it nonetheless gave humanity a bridge to the stars when they most needed it.\\ \\
