Zero Point

The city of Zero Point was one of the prime locations in Modern Meridian History. Zero Point was the world capitol in the Terminal Territories.

After the destruction of the spawn base, fast travel between the factions was shut down, and the was great tension between the members of the realm. The Red Archon Beacon was the old spawn's source of power that allowed travel. MorningBugle1 used the beacon to power up the gateway that brought them to this world, so he took it back after spawn was destroyed. A formal letter was sent out to everyone who was a member of the realm. The letter talked about a reformation of the members, and the creation of a new spawn point to operate from.

After a few months of silence, the letters were finally delivered through the systems of villages spread out across the world. A meeting was held at the realm's center to began the planning of the new spawn. The members all travelled from their factions to attend, and a plan was created. A glass sphere would act as the new spawn hub.

With assistance from the Archon Beacon, a glass spheroid was constructed and charged with power from the Archon Beacon. This superstructure hovered on the exact center of the Terminal Territories, and was just off the shoreline of the mainland. The location was perfect for their envisioning and over many months that glass spheroid turned into a furnished structure, and fast travel was once again possible. This was named the Zero Point, and is a very important location.

However, eventually buildings began to pop up on the mainland right next to the Zero Point. A port was constructed, and ships began to dock in it. Eventually the area because home to entrepreneurs, looking to set up shop. Shops and restaurants began to appear, across the surrounding mainland, and people moved to the area to get a fresh start. Roads were paved, and paths were created. This area grew wealthy fast, and became a tourist destination. The members, realizing it's newfound popularity began to construct many spots there too. The newly reformed A.T.L.A.S eventually declared Zero Point the capitol of the Terminal Territories.

After that was declared, Zero Point grew even further. Eventually A.T.L.A.S's government base was moved from further south, to the middle of the city. However this activity made it a large target.

The Communism vs Capitalism war shook this city to its foundations. The Communist capitol of Stravapol had launched several attacks on the city, killing many innocents, and damaging the many structures and roadways. The A.T.L.A.S headquarters was one of the worst badly damaged, as they were the ones in direct opposition to the Communists' ideologies. When the war ended, and A.T.L.A.S emerged victorious, a clean up of the city was ordered, and executed.

The 100 Day War also severely impacted the city. With the large scale blackout, the city went into a depression along with many others. To add onto the plan, New Taconia launched an attack on Zero Point. This was thwarted by an A.T.L.A.S capitol battleship, known as an Armiger. Although the attack was thwarted, the Zero Point itself began to act strange and anomalous. A.T.L.A.S reports say that it was the result of the attack, that damaged the Zero Point. If the Zero Point couldn't be fixed, it would eventually implode, destroying the city, and ravaging the realm with a megaton nuclear blast.

The Zero Point couldn't be fixed. So the city was evacuated, along with the other territories across the realm, on the three Armigers. After the Armigers had left, the city lay dormant, and the world was silent. Upon Zero Point's implosion, the realm was officially classified as destroyed. The lands are now dead, and unable to have life inhabit them. This event marked the end of Zero Point along with the Terminal Territories as a whole.

However, the legacy of Zero Point is definitely not completed yet. Rumors have it that small shards of the Zero Point made it into Meridian and it's neighboring worlds. The implications of this are unknown, however, it will surely play a large role in the future of Meridian.
