The year is 2049. The centennial anniversary of the unch of the first successful manned unch to the moon by the iron union , death has reached all the way across the sor system . War pgues the system between the iron union, eastern confederation and colonial powers. Nowhere is safe from attacks . The moon has been colonized by the iron union, with the eastern confederation ciming the outer rim of the system such as Pluto. The first unch of self replication drones to mine and manufacture more drones has been a success. The first testing ground will be asteroids then the long term goal will be the complete deconstruction of mercury for terraforming Venus and mars as well as making rge habitats for long term living and also sor panels to orbit the sun to beam back to collector stations to have constant energy. The living standard on mars is low due to constant fear of attack by the eastern confederation. The colonial powers have cimed Venus for long term colonization. Earth is a battleground for nd between the different powers with fear of a third world war on the horizon. Nuclear armed warheads fill different trade routes of the sor system just waiting for higher command to give the order . All these things are seen by Ezekiel in hi dreams as he realizes that he can’t do anything to stop it.
