TEMPLATE The year is 1935, and the impossible has been
accomplished.
Firstly, what we used to be able to do on the sea—travel, transport, fight—can
now easily be done in the air. More durable, more agile, more powerful, more
efficient airships can fly all across the globe. Thousands of airmen and women
now fill the sky.
But they don’t share it.
The second impossible thing: Unity. Since the fall of the Great Roman Empire in
the early 1700s, no power has been able to unite the people of the world.
Separated into nations, they warred primitively, on sea, on land, underground
for years and years. Nobles and monarchs led their people to die for their
unjust causes, culminating in a world-wide war called the Great War To End Wars,
but the violence did not end there. No change came until a benevolent few banded
together and set out to unify the belligerent nations of the world through any
means necessary.
Ah, but that was 35 years ago. Today, the result of this dream, the World
Adunctio, stands proudly over its dominions—half or so of the world consolidated
into the Union through anything from invasions to trade negotiations. The
pacified nobles who once held such power live peacefully, gathered in the
capital city of Bostonia. Great stretches in technology and society have been
made throughout the world.
Still, all is not right yet. There can't be complete unity yet, according to the
whispers in the military barracks and the island bars. Anarchists and pirates
pose a great threat to the World Adunctio. Aided by the Eastern Confederacy,
they fight for what they believe is a grand cause, freedom and independence from
the Union. They’re lawless—yes, maybe lawless, but not in the wrong at all.
There are strong rumors from the East that the World Adunctio is keeping its
colonies on a tight leash, that the World Adunctio is instituting a kind of
slave labor, that the World Adunctio is exploiting the far-away minorities with
the use of addictive drugs….
Of course, those are but rumors. Only this is certain: whether their cause is
valid or not, the rebels will rebel, and the World Adunctio Aerial Navy will
fight back. As for the pirates—well, who can say? But when all forces take to
the sky, there’s no telling who will soar and who will crash and burn.
