The Event

In the mid 21st century, western civilization collapsed. This 'Event' was actually the amalgomation of several incidents. First on Wall Street in New York, a stock market crash 10 times worse than the Great Depression. The world's wealth vanished within 12 minutes. Second, a massive surge in crime rates nationwide with the arrival of overseas gangs like the Wolf Pack months before. A terrorist attack on Washington DC was the cataylist. People became uneasy and eventually started to protest their governments who couldn't protect them. Protest became demonstration, demonatration became riots, riots became revolution. With the west destabilized, the rest of the world soon fell into chaos. 30 years after the dust settled, Flynn Richmond's small village was utterly destroyed by the Order.
