The Last Wars

The Last Wars are a series of civil wars that essentially tore apart the former United States of America, leaving behind a series of politically independent city states currently locked into private wars of their own.

The First War
Officially the First War (named so because it is the first in a series of three civil wars that mark the downfall of the former United States) lasted from 2081 to 2084. The first major aggression was marked by the bombing of the Nevada and Washington complexes housing Nineveh Project research and labs on January 2, 2082, though tensions in the Senate and House were high as early as May of the previous year. Terrorist groups had been threatening, and then enacting, violence on various state employees throughout late 2081.

A national emergency was declared on March 1, 2082; this included the implementation of marshal law in some areas. After a disasterous vote in the Senate, several states in the northest and middlewest threaten to succeed from the union. With the violence heightening every week, key researchers and scientists flee overseas to the United Kingdom for asylum. Asylum was rejected when the embassy was bombed and violence broke out on the streets in London, Edinburgh, and Dublin as well as key cities throughout the European Union.

The war was considered to be "ended" with the arrest of key terrorist leaders, including two state senators, employees of the state, and some 400 others. The trials would continue for the next several years.
