The Drop

== Introduction ==
The world has been at war with the Overthrough Empire for nearly a century now. Many have exhausted their resources to take down this threat, yet somehow the Empire never seems to falter. Europe soon found itself falling down a spiral, many countries collapsing to their waves of Overtroops. Half way through the century, the rest of the world knew they had to step in. This was a world war, and the United States was not going to let a fascist regime take control of Europe once more. At one point, during the 2080’s, the reinforcements and resources that were being used to fight the Empire was almost all exported by the Americans.

Some missiles found their way uncontrollably launching out of their hangars, and finding their way to other countries, or towards the US capitol to cause further damage.

‘What had happened?’ most the world asked. It had turned out that several sabotagers had wriggled their way into the system, and had activated the launch codes for several missiles, causing them to purposely explode within their holding sites. The event caused complete mayhem in the nation, killing more than half the population, and rendering the nation, as well as its environment, inhabitable and useless. This was a win for the Empire, as it turned back to the weak nations of Europe, who were barely holding out as it was. Now, nothing could stop them. The deed had been done, and Europe- maybe even the world, had their fate sealed...
