			'''3018 October - The arrival of New Worlds'''

			It was unknown that during the time of the fierce fighting during B<C-C.E war in 2004 that Terra has unintentionally contacted a alien life form far outside of Sol.

			It wasn’t till late in 3006 that a flurry of radio signals disrupted a patrolling Unata Class destroyer stationed in the orbit of Orcana. The signals was so narrow that officers monitoring the transmissions thought it was the result of a failure in the ships nav comms or the advent of a huge solar flare from the nearby star. After much inspection and observation, it was determined that the signal came from a extraterrestrial source, and triangulated locations reveal that it came from a system called “Sol”. The spikes were deemed inconclusive to be caused by some sort of natural anomaly, so the Oscdeans sent out deep space probes to scan the system and confirm their hypothesis. What they found one month later revealed 9 planets orbiting around a star, with a habitable temperante world among one of them.

			Being stuck on a harsh planet, a few weeks later in that same month, the council on Orcana decided to escape the hostile world and set a course for the new world. Two Oscdean Exodus class ships and a fleet of destroyers went towards the unknown first, followed by Dalkai and other nations weeks apart.

			On October of 3018, the Oscdean fleet arrived at sol, and found a thriving civilization to their surprise. They firmly introduced themselves to the world natives, and settled on western Doggerland where they built a relay beacon to call the other Tauruan fleets to the area. As the months slowly passed by, the nomadic fleets started to arrive, with Dalkain and Scionean fleets arriving to the system in December, and the Dark Angels 27th Denarian fleet arriving in January.

	ANAC Group survived by the skin of its teeth, riding the waves of the service industry. During the worst months of the depression it had completely closed its industrial complexes all across the land. While the firm kept its numerous car washes in operation, it did so at great cost, and saw significant decreases in its number of customers. The company virtually eliminated its service departments, cutting off support for its numerous industrial customers and leaving its car washes to reach a poor condition.

	Chisel Enterprises survived the depression without going dormant or bankrupt because it was able to prey on smaller corporations using a computer virus. It would infect a small corporation’s communications systems, cutting it off from the outside world, quickly followed by a sneak attack. Since not many were monitoring communication fluctuations during a time when the majority of corporations were dormant, no one suspected any foul play. C.E.would then harvest vital resources from the infrastructures of the corporations it preyed upon. These sneak attacks made its military more adept, professional, and specialized, albeit smaller than its pre-depression self, as it was forced to cut much of its manufacturing. This method of surviving allowed C.E. to weather the depression better off than most other corporations, and saw them pocketing quite a few of the pre-depression tech and resources of the small corporations they preyed upon.

	Mechadyne, with assistance from geneticists and archaeologists from the Novus Imperium Romanum, established a culturally European microstate known as the Protectorate of ~~Mälm~~ in order to relieve stress in its economic sectors. By funneling currency into Mälm, Mechadyne was able to ride off the depression. However, unbeknownst to the outside world, a complete internal collapse of Mechadyne occurred, nearly destroying the company. The company was split between syndicalists, far-right wing groups, and corporatists (with the support of the anarcho-capitalists amongst other sympathizers). Mechadyne eventually suffered a coup led by a coalition of the syndicalists and the right-wing paramilitary, which just so happened to be backed by the Novus Imperium Romanum. In November of 3017, a division of tanks led by the marxists, syndicalists, and the right-wing radicals overran Campos Santos via Mälm, resulting in a massacre of high-level officials, ambassadors, and others. Although the rest of the capitalists and corporatists were spared, the company is now led by a joint administration of fascists and marxists. The whereabouts of the old owner, Jim Convair, are unknown, and the company’s de facto leader is the computer AI known as DoMain.

The tanks rolled past the guard posts without a struggle, as helicopters quickly dispatched special forces at key points in the city. The entire city was captured in about half an hour, with a mountain range separating it from the rest of A.S.R. The only retaliation faced was by a few insurgents, which were quickly subdued. All entrances into Arstotzka from the rest of A.S.R were quickly destroyed, with only one left open and heavily blockaded. Defenses were set up along the mountain range, and the preexisting Arstotzkan Anti-Aircraft defense batteries were repurposed and crewed by the Arstotzkan military, which had now pledged loyalty to C.E. After this was done, control over the city was handed to Bonitaña, as their forces quickly entered.
