“The Hallowed Enclave”

“The Invention of teleportation technology marked the beginning of the largest loss of human life in history.” -Historical Record provided by Hallowed Corps

After a decade of use, teleportation technology revealed itself to be innately dangerous. In the year before Reckoning, 2137 contact was lost with the outer colonies on Mars and the asteroid belt. Military vessels under the auspices of the supranational United National Nominate responded, they descended into a hellish nightmare, of citizens tearing each other apart, of aberrant creatures roaming the streets. They were unable to contain the violence and it appears the Portal Systems were to blame as hysteria spread to New York and other cities across the globe.

The War for Earth had begun, cities were quarantined and attempts were made to disable or destroy the portals. Alien creatures emerged from the portals to wreck havoc on a completely deranged population. The war would last over a decade, as UNN forces attempted to contain the threat. Cities burned, nuclear warheads detonated across the globe to contain a tide of seemingly supernatural horror, as the dead walked the earth and demons stalked the skies.

After 12 years of conflict, the Earth lay bare, scarred and bleeding but victorious. The Alien
