Timeline
- 2079 CE Since their sudden appearance, the mechanical cell clusters, known as the Worms, begin sweeping away the human race on a massive scale.
- 2081 CE After losing one-third of the population in the war with the Worms, humanity overcame their national differences and united behind a single force.
- 2083 CE Not being able to turn the situation in their favor, humanity decided to permit the use of weapons of mass destruction. And they succeeded in the annihilation of the Worms. However, the price they paid was enormous. All the major continents were broken apart. Antarctica disappeared, and half of the remaining land mass was submerged. The largest damage this war caused was the loss of 90% of all military-age personnel, namely men in their twenties and thirties.
- 2086 CE The Worms, once thought to have been eliminated, began their activities again.
