The world has changed. Disaster struck the Earth. A massive solar flare hit the planet head on, frying the main power grids on the ground and destroying most of the satellites in orbit. Panic and chaos followed within hours of the power failure. With no forms of communication working, people began to take matters in their own hands. All of the nuclear facilities became unstable in a matter of weeks. Most people fled as each facility began to fail.

The population on the planet dropped by more than a few million with each passing year. In the third year since the massive solar flare, more than half of the world's population has perished. By the end of the fifth year the population would be decreased by more than half once again when the skies darkened. It was assumed that a massive volcanic eruption was to blame.
