NEW MACROSS DEFENCE INSTITUTE - GENESIS : GLOBAL CIVIL WAR Part 03
If not for the catastrophic event on July 1999 CE, humankind will perish by it owns doings. Fortunately, as history will attest, it takes a strange twist of fate that saved humanity where the savior will be a mysterious visitor from the stars.
The visitor folds out from deep space & flies over the east coast of US before crash landing on South Ataria island, one of the many remote South Pacific islands. As a result, hundreds of thousands humans die, ironically not because of war, but rather from geological & atmospheric disturbances, with several nations, such as US, Japan & China suffer one way or another through natural disasters which includes massive tsunamis in the Pacific sector which occurred during the visitor's entry into Earth orbit to its final resting place.
As nations throughout the world struggle during the aftermath, UN begins to overtake its role as the world protector once more as the world organization begins to pour much needed aid & send in its rescue teams to stricken areas. Meanwhile, leaders of the world sit down to assess the damages in both property & human lives. What begin as an emergency meeting between the heads of US, China & Russia become an assembly of all nations.
During the following months, through joint-task international investigation teams reveal that what is thought earlier as a huge meteorite turns out to be an alien spacecraft. It is later codenamed ASS-1 (Alien Star Ship). Public announcements are made that a colossal meteorite, an asteroid 3 km in diameter, composes of great quantities of metal, impacted with Earth. The matter is treated as top secret until the chaos and confusion following the event is brought under control. Leaders of the world later call for a cease-fire, although the peace terms broker by UN are somewhat unsatisfactory to all parties concern. A precise, accurate, and minute investigation of ASS-1, later christens as Super Dimensional Fortress One (SDF-1) begin in earnest. South Ataria Island is designated under UN sphere of jurisdiction where joint task forces of international research parties under UN banner are brought in from across the world.
In September 1999 CE, from the findings report of the study of the SDF-1, it is discovered that the alien spacecraft is military in nature & its crews are on average of six times the size of humans, with exceptional individuals exceeding fifty feet in height. Terrifies by the all too real prospect of invasion from deep space, a project is begun to unite Earth into one unified nation.
