SHATTERED SKY
In the year 2037, Humanity detected a signal from the stars. After being studied and analyzed for weeks, it was decided that this signal was a cry for contact. Someone in the vast emptiness of space, was looking for others. They wanted to communicate, to talk, to meet. Humanity sent their response. -We are Humanity. We are a young species inhabiting the planet Earth. We welcome any contact from the stars, as we have believed until now that there was none to be had.- The signal was returned. They were on their way.
Humanity, was not alone.
This event would come to be known as the Origin Signal, because from it, would originate all that would destroy Humanity.
What arrived in the skies above Earth was not a group of researchers, scientists, or explorers. It was an invasion fleet, ready to destroy everything in their path. They spent less than a day scanning Earth to find all the natural resources it held, and then they came. Hell rained down from the skies. Records show that half of the population of Humanity was wiped out within the first hour, before anyone could take shelter. By the end of the first week, ninety percent of Humanity was gone. These invaders from the stars were efficient, and when bombarding the surface of the planet was no longer effective, they deployed massive armies of machines to finish what remained. These invaders would become known as, The Genos. (Gee-nose)
Humanity fought back, but their weapons were nothing compared to the might of a space faring race. But, they were not alone. The Genos were followed by another alien species, who seemed to be hunting them down. They arrived on Earth with a righteous fury that burned the Genos from the skies above Earth, and soon took to the surface to cleanse the planet of the infestation that was the brutish race of conquerors. This, was at least how many saw the events. Truth be told, most could see that this second alien species cared little for saving Humanity, and that Earth was merely another battleground for them to face the Genos on. These saviors, as they came to be known, were the Seraphim.
By time the Genos were in full retreat, the Seraphim were ready to follow, and both species of alien disappeared, leaving behind a broken, shattered world barely capable of sustaining life. It had only been a single month since the Genos arrived, and only just over ten thousand humans were left. Not even a fraction of the original billions who had inhabited the world. There was now only one continent able to sustain life, broken and shifted by the war to be unrecognizable from whatever continent it originally was.
In honor of what humanity had once thought they would refer to their world as to alien races, this continent was named simple, Tera.
Twenty Years have passed since then. The date is 2057, March 15th. Tera is split into five factions vying for power.
The Western Democratic Union (WDU) controlling the Western portion of the continent.
The Holy Imperial Coalition (HIC) controlling the North.
The Union of Clans (UC) controlling the South.
The Free People's Republic (FPR) controlling a small portion of land at the heart of the continent.
The United Eastern Alliance (UEA) controlling the East.
Tensions are high, and it seems Humanity's instincts are setting in once more. Each Nation wants more, and they aren't willing to settle for what they have, and they have all set their eyes on what they believe to be the 'Untamed Lands' in FPR territory. Rich in natural resources, each faction wants to claim more power. But they all have their own reasons, their own agendas. The time has come for the first war of the new world.

Welcome to Shattered Sky, a Mecha RP focused on Mechas and their pilots within the United Eastern Alliance, as they take part in a war for control over the last remaining continent.
The starting date is 2057, March 15th, the 20 year anniversary of the end of the war. To commemorate this day, the UEA is revealing a new weapon they intend to use to gain control over the central lands, and keep the other nations in check. This weapon is the Lancer, and its pilot is you, the Driver.
