2152 had finally come for the Frostarians. Approval of the government had dropped to 78% as progress faltered due to internal issues within the government.
Shared ideals were no longer common and bipartisanship between the Vindicators and the Doves, political parties of sorts (although unofficially due to the official ban of parties) hidden under the guise of "ideologies" began to shake the foundation of Sparrow Corp.
While both had on their mind the intention of traveling to space they both had different ideas of what to do:
The Doves wanted to seek colonies in case any major events happened (For example, solar flares disabling their electrical grid or other unexpected things the planet would throw at them.)
The Vindicators wished to seek out alien life and either establish relations or form an empire.
The doves, fearful of what aliens could do protested. They argued that colonization would admittedly have a lesser gain but was an assured win while hunting for aliens was unlikely to yield any results in their lifetime.
Meanwhile the medical system of Frostaria experienced a setback as a new virus was again circulating due to tainted food. It was only until 40,000 deaths occurred and the year 2155 that the disease was halted.
The morale drop of the citizens was immense and caused more damage than the actual virus did with the approval rating dropping under 40%.
It was only until 2158 when a paradigm shift so immense happened approval shot up to 98% and the lifespan of an average Frostarian was almost 230 years with signs of aging starting at year 120.
This paradigm shift was the discovery of post-birth genetic rewriting. It was discovered by a division of Sparrow Corp and provided free to most citizens.
This rewriting enabled people to slow the ageing process, be immune to cancer and even become stronger and better than an average human.
Combined with augmentation humans could see 300 years.
This peace didn't last long however... the argument between the doves and the vindicators ended in a massacre of 150 citizens in a bombing of vindicators rally by the doves.
Leonard Sparrow responded by disbanding the doves and sentencing the 5 people responsible to a public execution, a very controversial move to this day.
Fast Forward to 2162. The tension had settled and Frostaria had reached another golden age.
But something that to this day will never be forgotten:
Alien life was finally spotted by scouts patrolling space.
The shuttle was shot down.
75xSIDx2162 (75th Planetary Rotation of Sidus, Year 2162)
The fears of the doves had been justified.
The vindicators were called into the military. A massive militarization occurred.
Justice, Infliction, Deterrent and Hope - 4 massive PDC's (Planetary Defense Cannons) were constructed in the 4 major cities - Solstice, Fornax, Eclipse and Equinox.
Citizens panic'd. Sparrow Corp mobilized.
Attack was imminent, the greatest challenge since the separation from earth began.
The Vaktovians were discovered. Frostaria was attacked.
War began. |

Rain was the one that helped me fix this post so it stopped getting filtered.
You can thank her but only a little because I paid her.

| A little broken in some parts, and I found it rushed. Other than that, though, good read. |

@CT
Could you PLEASE unban me from the majority of RAT related places.
I can't proceed past conscript because I can't even enter any of your places (except Celeste II)
