For posterity,
War, war never changes.
The people who fight them, the reasons for which they are fought and the weapons they are fought with may change, but war itself never changes.
50 years ago, the bombs hit Nanotrasen stations all across the Tau Ceti sector. Within instants, hundreds of thousands died, and the supply lines crippled. One by one, outposts went silent across the galaxy...
Yet humanity lived on. Some survived by hiding in giant metallic Space Vaults scattered across the galaxy, built by Nanotrasen in the case of all out war. Some managed to survive by luck, and have somehow eked out a living among the barren wastes of the space hulks...
The year is 2577. On this day, the reactor fueling your vault malfunctioned. There was no hope, the Vault had to be abandoned as toxic fumes and fires coursed down the hallways of your home. Now, you must take everything you can carry, and take the last shuttle out to the wastes. There you must survive among the wreckage, if you can...
((In here was the game, just over four hours long, the following is the outro, with the final events written up as well for those who had to leave))
As the last of Caesar's men fell before Alejandra and Alexa, the founders of the New Nanotrasen Republic, the great Caesar trembled, hiding in the bathroom. After a last ditch fight, Caesar was captured, and would be forced to stand trial. However, Caesar had one last trick up his sleeve...
Joe the Trader had lined the Prison with high grade explosives, in the case of emergency or hostile takeover. It did not help him, but it did aid Caesar. With his dying breaths, he cursed the NNR and those who had brought him down. As the bombs ticked down, Caesar shuddered one last time, passing on right as fire began to envelope his fortess...
Yet despite the destruction of Joe's stash, and the deaths of many NNR members, it was not the end for the New Nanotrasen Republic. They would continue to grow under the strong leadership of Alexa and Alejandra. Of course conflict arose, but mostly with bandit groups, raiders, slavers and ghouls, none as deadly as Caesars Legion. However, tales of another deadly force, this time of mutants, grew in the east. Everyone would be scared of war with these beasts, scared of more battles, more death...
But in the end, war never changes...
