Earth is origin of human civilization as we know it, the 3rd planet of [9]? In the Sol system, it provided the human race a place to thrive before the advent of space colonisation. It now serves as the home Planet for the United Galactic Trade Organisation, a commercial-military entity established to protect the assets of the human civilisation from its enemies.
Earth was created over 5 billion years ago after the creation of the Sol sun forced debris into an large round rock, from there other bits of rock began to orbit to create Luna. The earth began to solidify slowly over time, condensing water vapour into the oceans, over the next 1.2 billion years the first signs of life appeared; bacteria. Some of the bacteria developed photosynthesis, which allowed plants to grow and make food from the sun and water; releasing oxygen into the air, creating a suitable atmosphere and ozone layer: allowing deep ocean creatures to move onto land.

Metal and Medieval Ages
The metal ages we're a time before Civilization itself, when smaller nomadic tribes began to band together to create towns and cities, the advent of tools and weapons allowed people to advance into new technological marvels, as well as war. Farming and cultivation patterns we're started here and the first animals we're domesticated.
The weapons were of particular interest, even after the tainted history of this planet, I could not imagine so many tools for one simple natural process, death.
-- Chief Examiner Rockshaw, Post-Sunder Dig in Persia.
The Bronze Age was a period of time where the tools, weapons and materials used we're made from a metal called bronze. Estimated to of occurred between 3 or 4 thousand years ago, the bronze age shaped the early human civilizations by allowing to make sturdier, more precise tools for wood work and war. Those who we're skilled in the making of Bronze implements we're important and learned, certain skills we're required to mix the different metals to create the bronze. Along with the implementation of the bronze metal into most tools and weapons, vegetation and meat diets changed drastically, the origins of what we eat today themselves are said to have come from these times. With the sheep, cows, goats domesticated and crops such as wheat and barley, small civilizations could feed and supplier larger numbers, before long the first wars we're fought.
Empire building people, Egyptians and Sumerians could win land from nearby peoples, expanding their territory and their ability to output, feed and water their people and armies. It is said there we're cities as large as current, carved from stone and wood that housed thousands, slaughtering thousands of animals every year and cultivating thousands of acres of land, to support themselves.
The World at War
As Civilizations advanced, so did their tools, archeological digs have discovered a continuation of metallurgy through several different materials, the same tools being created for the same uses, with more precision and strength.
During this time, the Earth went through several strifes, wars and shaping, countries and boundaries we're formed and stayed mostly intact before the Sundering, humans invaded and destroyed lands, religion caused crusades of massacres across continents and countries fought for dominance over resources.
The fight for resources is the damning path of the Humanity, we'd drink the sweet nectar of Victory, even when stained with blood.
-- Dr Samantha Jackson, Canton of Resources
During the early 20th Century, Earth was subject to violent acts of terrorism from Unknown groups of religious and political fighters, each with their own ideal for world government. The Civilized world saw the Terrorists as mere barbarians, attempting to provoke war and depravity from its citizens, for a time people ignored them, bearing the brunt and effect of their acts – but that soon failed. Before long the rivalries of old began to create descent between governments of Earth, diplomatic entities such as the UN and NATO began to falter as nations resigned and ignored the cries for aid of their once allied friends. The infighting continued into the mid 21th century and focus shifted from anti-terrorism to defence, nations feared the worse from their enemies, forcing their enemies to do the same, the militarization of Earth escalated quickly, new and devastating weapons being designed and created as a deterrent to other nations, their intent to never use them.
The infighting continued, weapons we’re more freely available, factories across the world changed their output to weapons, ammo, vehicles and missiles, being sold to the highest bidder: including the terrorist groups. Over time certain religious and political groups we’re able to acquire smaller arms, vehicles and long range weaponry, those groups quickly moved from being small rag-tag groups to being larger, more militarised and ordered: and with this new power the biggest heist in history was appropriated.
Two prominent terrorist groups, 'Burnout’ and ‘Hjól geislunar' , famous for their anti-religious mandates took responsibility for the theft of 14 biological warheads and 2 docked Nuclear Submarines in a daring raid at an Italian naval base. Reports at the time suggest the groups found high levels of resistance from the Italian and European armies but quickly overwhelmed them, however studies on the subject suggest otherwise. The two groups quickly transferred the weaponry to the submarines and quickly sailed from port to unknown areas – the two groups disappearing from historical records for almost a year.
On the 3rd of December 2034 a chain of events occurred which resulted in the loss of just over 1 billion people. Early morning news broadcasts in major cities around Earth were replaced masked men standing in front of large radiation symbol shouting in an obscure dialect of an oriental language for 4 minutes, as TV broadcasting centres attempted to track the transmission, unearthed military reports stated an unknown object was tracked through early warning SONAR stations in the south China Sea. Naval Forces within the French Channel simultaneously scrambled forces towards the mouth of the River Thames, a large waterway flowing through the Britannia island. another object was detected but was reported to be unseen.
It's estimated that during these sightings, the terrorist groups launched the stolen missiles are short and medium range targets across Britannia, France, West Germany, Communist Controlled East Germany, Italy, Spain, Japan, China, Korea and India. Reports from the time continue to suggest that the missiles hit with maximum collateral damage in mind, destroying much of their major cities and irradiating hundreds of miles of land. The Eastern States of America, Canada and Western Mexican/Oriental states we're quickly silenced as clouds of heavy Mycotoxins plumed from clouds in busy city centres, infecting and killing any life nearby as well as infecting waterways, arable land and animals.
The Second Dark Age
In the years following the attack, people rebelled and Government fell
The second Dark Age griped the people of Earth. After gaining control of the major economic and military powers of the world, the leaders of various terrorist regimes declared themselves rulers for life. Within just a few months of gaining power, the purges of “unclean and unfaithful sinners” began. It didn’t matter your religious faith. If you didn’t support the psychotic religion of the moment, you were tortured or simply executed. Whole populations of Muslims, Jews, Buddhists, Taoists, Atheists, Protestants, Catholics, and anyone else whom these people could get a hold of died, many times horribly. The new leaders of the world began to be distressed at this. If all their subjects were eliminated, then whom would they rule? Who would create their wealth? What good would his or her power be with no one to lord it over?
Political leaders in these new nations began to crack down on the more extreme of their religious brethren. These extremists were some of the oldest supporters of the terrorist organizations, and had personally known many of the members of the now ruling parties of the world. New battle lines were drawn, between religious and secular leaders. Additionally, several of the new secular states that had come into being were controlled by peoples and individuals who had old grudges against one another. These two rivalries blossomed into open warfare using their recently secured nations as power bases. This was one of the darkest and most violent periods of Human history to date.
Creation of the Global Corporate Council
Ironically, the extremists could not expunge the one thing that they professed was their greatest enemy: major international corporations. These economic entities became vital to the financial survival of these new nations. Even amidst all out warfare between these terrorist states, the corporations maintained their power. Even the religious zealots recognized that to topple the foundations of your economy was to extinguish your ability to make war on each other. Adding to this was the fact that most of these secular and religious leaders who professed a hatred for corporate culture and grown fat and rich off of wealth extorted from the same corporations they claimed to wish to topple.
The corporations, however, were fed up. They had seen their loyal employees die by the literal truckload. They had seen their profits become smothered by the senseless destruction. They had seen the progress humanity had been making towards a better tomorrow crushed under the boot heel of madmen and tyrants. They had seen enough.
On September 21, 2062, the first meeting of the Global Corporate Council was begun. The GCC was sold to the world leaders of the time as a way to “better facilitate global trade and economic growth”. How the GCC planed to do that was not revealed to the madmen in charge of the world. It was the determination of the Council that the current state of affairs of the world was too costly in terms of “manpower, resources, trade, lives, and progress”. The GCC began a covert mission to end this once and for all.
2066: Terrorist leaders Overthrown
It took over three years and a mammoth investment of capitol and manpower to get all of their pieces in place. Never the less, on February 18, 2066, the GCC was ready to take the reigns back. At 00:01:00 GMT, the GCC shut the world off. At once, every power station, every communications station, every fuel pump in every vehicle, every computer, every anything that they had been able to introduce their control circuitry into, was shut off.
What little remained of the world’s economy ground to a complete halt. At the same time, certain equipment that was directly operated by the GCC was spared this blackout. Covert and elite strike teams had been moved into position. As these Para-military forces struck at the current leaders of these tyrant nations, word was spread using carefully placed operatives in communities all over the Earth. “Join us, liberty is at hand!” was the message spread throughout communities on the Earth.
Corporate Power Act
At first slowly, and then with growing momentum, the people of these villages and cities took up whatever weapons they could find against the corruption occupying their nations. While they were an unorganized mob, they were a very large mob, directed at the enemies of the GCC. On August 26, 2066 at 14:23:17 GMT the last of these rouge nations fell under an impressive weight of civilians and corporate forces. The GCC moved immediately to consolidate and codify their power. On September 2, 2066 at 18:02:49 GMT they ratified the Corporate Powers Act and made the GCC the ruling body over Earth.
It was immediately apparent that the Earth would need to be rebuilt. What wasn’t apparent was exactly how this would be accomplished. The calculated requirements for resources were immense. If manual labor was to be used, then a great deal of time would be required to build up the appropriate levels of population. If it were to not be used, then major resources would have to be invested to create machines with which to build up Earth’s infrastructure.
Regardless of which path they would pursue, it was obvious to all that Earth could no longer support humanity the way it once had. The levels of chemical, nuclear, and biological contaminants had rendered much of the Earth uninhabitable. Global population had been depleted to just under one billion persons. Still, the GCC would do what it could to repair what damage it could while searched for the solution to its answers.
