  • 2105 - 2115 AD - The Lunar Revolt. Following a wave of dissatisfaction with huge dependancies on private corporations that come with living on Luna, numerous acts of civil disobedience take place in the colony. The possibility of losing the extraterran territory prompts the United Nations to organise a task force, which ends up being composed of both American and Chinese soldiers - the first ever human combat military deployment on an extraterrestrial body. Eventually, clashes are minimal, and Luna in brought back under the jurisdiction of the UN with reforms following the accident. The Second Cold War is considered to have ended as the United States are unable to further pursue a policy of high tensions with China. The American-European Schism also causes USA to pursue closer ties with its North American allies.

  • 2160 AD - A computer virus of unknown origin, possibly not fully intentionally, causes robotic devices on most Asian servers (and several others) to reinterpret their various tasks as 'human extermination' or 'human defeat'. Although it is quickly fixed in new programs, it is found impossible to reverse in most already existing ones. Supercomputers worldwide begin calculating war moves and 'hijacked' factories soon begin assembling more and more mobile platforms, and after several breakouts, the Robot War begins.

  • 2179 AD - The Robot War is declared over by the United Nations, ending in the victory of 'Earth and her Colonies' after most rogue devices are finally remotely reprogrammed. Robotic devices with fixed code are produced en-masse everywhere, as demand for them is large in big companies after so many faulty ones have been exterminated.
