## Plot

The story starts on Earth when a new rare metal that enables teleportation is discovered. It becomes immensly popular (although expensive), and soon, governments get the idea to teleport colonists to habitable exo-planets. For years, a steady stream of colonists settled the lifeless (but life-supporting) continents of Petram, the first exo-colony. Although it could support Earth life, there were no major life forms, other than some bacteria and a strange fungal organism nicknamed "Primal Fungus Spore". However, due to lack of planning and the liberal use of the metal on Earth, the metal begins to run out. Using the last known stockpiles of the metal, important information, family members and military equipment is teleported over to Petram, and once again, teleportation becomes impossible.

On the once peaceful and cooperative planet of Petram, fighting breaks out as mass panic ensues. Old countries representing their homelands collapsed, and new leaders came to form new nations. Refugees adapted and settled in the hostil lands of Tind and Zaheria, while more nations were formed in the more habitable planets. Terrorists groups sprouted up like weeds, convinced that there was still a way home. Most notably of these were the Khev Minosk and the Bihadj insurgents, whom although have similar goals, operate seperately on Westberg and Zaheria respectively.

The Union of Nations was eventually formed in an attempt to restore peace and order. Instead, it generally became a gang/mafia, that would virtue signal every once in a while by interfering in the affairs and bullying non-Union nations, while larger nations send their troops in (defensive or offensive) conflicts to help members in order to gain combat experience. Infighting was still common, especially with "2nd World" nations.

At this point in time, the most stable and long-lasting nations formed. These included

* Dul Kaddir, a miliatary-industrial complex on the continent of Zaheria with a strong economy backed by petroleum
* Oldenburg, an irrelevant, non UoN nation on the continent of Westberg that no one likes. Although it has a decent air force, they often cannot respond to attacks on its pitiful ground defense. The nation has tons of forest and cows, which are often stolen during the constant invasions. But instead of capitalizing on those resourecs, the prefer to use their air force to harass their neighbor,
* Venland, a Union member with no anti-aircraft defenses whatsoever. No one bothers to donate anti-air equipment, as taking turns defending Venland from Oldenburg's 2nd Air Squadron is good for combat training and even results in a captured F-35 Lighting II sometimes.
* World Willdlife Fund, a faction-turned-basically-sovereign-nation. They were initially deployed to study and protect alien species, but decided to stay even when they found out there weren't any. Many of their members were former military with a soft spot for animals, not animal-lovers who underwent military training. As a result, they are an experienced group of former Navy Seals and have a few A-10 Thunderbolts in their air force. They zealously protect imported jaguars in the jungles of Amarino, which are a major poaching target, and would love to expand their influence but don't have the manpower.
* Norrland, a Soviet-inspired nation on the continent of Tind. As one of the only countries in Tind at the beginning of the Petram's colonialism, they enjoyed easy development. Their borders consist of imposing and cold mountain ranges, filled with Concrete Bunnkers and anti-aircraft tanks, creating an inpentrable wall.

A few other less important nations also came into existence, such as

* A nation on Westberg whose president and Secret Service keep getting raided for funds
* A "democratic" country also on Westberg which has serious rioting issues after a shady election
