The Rupture: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 04:28, 31 December 2021

The Rupture (2042-2115) was a catastrophic series of civilization destroying events on Taurus that took place as a result of a coronal mass ejection and super-volcano erupting within 6 years of eachother. The result of this event was near reversal of most technological progress achieved in the last 400 years, as well as a near complete destruction of food production as a result of the volcanic winter.

History

The Rupture started with the Huliner Solar Storm, and was later intensified by the Bombora Eruption.

Huliner Solar Storm

The Huliner Solar Storm (April 4, 2042) was a coronal mass ejection (CME) from Taurus's home star, Epsilon Thea. The sheer amounts of electromagnetic radiation from this release caused widespread damage to technological systems and grids on Taurus. This effectively reversed civilization on the planet to a pre-industrial revolutionary state. Massive reconstruction efforts would be needed to reverse the effect of the CME.

Bombora Eruption

Bombora, a supervolcano located in the Holomdian continent, erupted on August 1, 2048, which led to a near obliteration of civilization on the continent, as well as plunging the recovering planet into a volcanic winter. Average temperatures dropped an average of 10 centigrade following the event. Food production was nearly completely halted as a result of ash cover and colder temperatures.

Aftermath

As a result of rapid food shortages and ruin throughout most of Taurus's nations, mass unrest and deaths occured as a result. This led to a massive die-off of pre-Rupture civilizations and led to an emergence of new nations and conflicts.

-Lancaster, as a result of its high survival rates due to geographical advantage and proper disaster preparation techniques, was able to rise to superpower status due to its superiority in infrastructure and institutions. Other Nations, such as SMG and Haven, survived due to being in a geographically advantageous area affected less severely than other regions of Taurus. As a result, the nations sought to fill the power vacuums created. The power vacuum also prompted many governments to emerge to fill the gaps.
