Introduction
It is the year 5400. Humankind has advanced, but is no more civilized than before. It's a miracle we managed to hold off another World War for this long. It seems all the years were spent preparing for this moment. 80% of all money was spent on weapons and war effort, as minor war after minor war occurred.
The U.S.A lost its threat somewhere in there, everyone else caught up due to an economic crash around the year 3000. That was when the world changed. The stronger nations decided to make their move. However, the U.S. still had the upper hand in military force. It crippled the other armies. One thing lead to another, the strong attack the weak, the strong become the weak. Then your back at the beginning, getting attacked by the strong. Those are the rules. This was the start of the endless war.
World War III. I dont even know if you can compare it to I and II. It was twice as devastating as both combined, and lasted over 1000 years. It was the greatest war in history. Everyone got involved. There were no neutrals. When a war lasts that long with no result, It's time to quit. It was probably time to quit 900 years before that. But it raged for all those 1000 years, and all nations were turned to rubble. The earth was scarred, and no victor emerged. Everyone had to cease fire in order to keep their nations together. It marked the end of the war.
However, as hard as we tried, we could not recover. The damage was too great, through war we had managed to kill ourselves off. The innocent died from disease and wounds. But did we learn our lesson? Had we not seen what fighting causes? People broke off from their poor nations and joined together... forming the Rebels. They began to attack nations who could not afford more battle. There was no choice but to fight back, or watch your nation burn. The Human Race is addicted to the drug we call war. Those small attacks were all it took, and it all started up again.
This time, nobody even bothers considering it a war. It has become so common, these minor fights, burning countries, cities destroyed. We know no other lifestyle. What used to be of our race is gone. There is no resting easy anymore, there is no time for games or slacking. Cities have been rebuilt into Military Bases, all of them. All residents are recruited in the military. Children begin training at the age of 6, and before that taken care of by soldiers. That is only the men, though. Women have a role too. Certain women are selected, or volunteered, to reproduce. It is no longer done for enjoyment, or the thrill of having a son. Women are assigned a man to reproduce with, and it is likely those two will never see each other again. It is their role to keep new soldiers coming... some women fight it, others accept it. It is a role, men fight, women "make" fighters. It's all about fighting. The entire planet had become a war zone.
It was not the future you expected, with flying cars and chrome cities. No, the air filled with smog, and nobody bothered to clean the rubble from the streets. Sunlight wasn't common anymore, these were dark, dark times. Weapons were the only thing that actually seemed to be advancing in complexity. There was no happy living, laughing, or time for fun. Only drills and training day after day. Cities attacked constantly from different Rebel groups and other nations. What do we hope to accomplish with all this war? War. That word has a new meaning to me, to everyone. War has changed.
And now, 2 rebel groups begin to emerge. One called The Saviors, a group lead by the murderous, but intelligent, Seth Logan. The other, called The Lambs, is a rebel group consisting of those only recruited to fight The Saviors. It is a war of Good (The Lambs) and Evil (The Saviors) The Nations (Neutral), almost unaware of these rebel side battles, continue to fight each other... occasionally encountering Lambs or Saviors. But as the Saviors grow, and other rebel groups fall to them, The Lambs need recruits more than ever.
