In 2048 mankind was doomed to the Earth. All prior advancements in space travel were nullified by a catastrophe when an asteroid the size of Montana struck the moon. Fragments of the moon splintered across Earth’s orbit obliterating the International Space Station and sending millions of shrapnel particles hurling through high orbit. Space travel is no longer viable, the Earth has become mankind’s prison.

weapons.
