Over a million tonnes of weapons were deployed. The Earth was
devastated. Planetary winter conditions ensued. In the attack
itself over 3 billion people lost their lives. In the
following years, more than a third of the population of the
Earth died as a direct consequence of the conflict.

We suspect that the motive behind that attack was to reduce
the peoples of the Earth to a state of barbarism. Clearly the
insects underestimated our powers of recovery - otherwise they
would be back. We expect that some day they will return to
finish the job they started some 12 years ago.

POLITICS

The history of the past twelve years has been remarkable.
The complete dissolution of all national divisions occurred.
The organisation:Fist-of- Earth formed a wartime world government
of remarkable efficiency. As well as starting to restore the
devastated planet - the Fist of Earth world government set about
forming a defensive force which can protect the Earth from
further attacks.

The spearhead of this defensive policy was the construction of
Solbase in Earth orbit.
