The Alien Invasion occurred on Earth in 2195, causing widespread destruction, loss of life, and societal upheaval. This invasion was carried out by an advanced alien species of unknown origin and motivation, who utilized a variety of advanced technologies and methods of warfare.
The invasion began unexpectedly, with numerous alien spacecraft descending upon various locations around the globe. These craft employed various forms of attack, including energy weapons, kinetic strikes, and biological warfare. The invasion force targeted critical infrastructure such as power grids, transportation networks, communication systems, and major population centers.
Key battles and turning points occurred throughout the conflict as the Earth Defense Coalition mounted a unified resistance in the form of conventional and experimental military forces. The final turning point came when a critical vulnerability was discovered in the alien command and control infrastructure, allowing the coalition to effectively counter-attack and defend Earth.
The physical impacts of the invasion were significant, with countless structures and entire cities left devastated. Casualties numbered in the millions, and many more were displaced due to the destruction. The societal and psychological impacts were also profound, with lasting effects on mental health and social stability.
The invasion also resulted in extensive environmental damage. Alien weaponry and attacks on critical infrastructure caused widespread ecological disruption and pollution. Key ecosystems such as the Great Barrier Reef, the Amazon Rainforest, and the Serengeti were left ravaged and in need of extensive restoration.
To combat the threat, the Earth Defense Coalition formed as a unified global effort to resist the alien invasion. This coalition brought together military forces, resources, and personnel from around the world, eventually succeeding in driving back and defeating the alien invaders.
In the wake of the invasion, international leaders recognized the need for a coordinated global recovery effort. As a result, the Automated Reconstruction Command (ARC) was established. With its headquarters in Washington, D.C., ARC is tasked with leading the global recovery effort, rebuilding infrastructure, and restoring ecosystems. ARC's mission also includes the study and integration of alien technology to aid in the recovery and advance human society.
The ARC is governed by a council of representatives from each member nation of the Earth Defense Coalition, ensuring broad international cooperation in the recovery effort. The organization's work continues to this day, focusing on both near-term recovery and long-term rebuilding and development.
