“In the summer of 4041 p.m.e, the Dover District was overrun by the Metalheads.

In a single night, a village with a population of approximately 130,000 people was wiped off the map due to the failure of its outermost shield-wall. Only 2/3 of the citizens residing there were successfully evacuated behind the new shield-wall; the remainder were strategically crippled and abandoned by the KG to slow the enemy, leaving an estimated 40,000 men, women, and children, to die.

The survivors that escaped were inducted into Relocation Camps, which quickly became the Haven City Slums; but due to the lack of resources caused by the city’s decade-long Lock-down, it was common knowledge that they could not, and would not, be properly cared for. Within the following year, another 30,000 would succumb to their injuries, sickness, starvation, murder, suicide…and even simply go ‘missing’, taken by the KG for some unknown purpose and never seen again.

The intentional failure of the Relocation Program was both a financial and practical success for the City, as the remaining survivors and unaffected citizens now had access to more space, Eco, rations, and resources.

In the wake of the injustices enacted upon them and their families, many joined together as the Underground under The Shadow, it’s enigmatic leader. The destroyed sector has come to be known as “Dead Town”, a toxic ruin that stands as an unquiet memorial to the Lost…

…And a reminder that though their existence was treated as less than cattle to those that preyed above, both from out and from within, that only humans had died that day. Humans capable of compassion, of courage…and of great and frightening change.
