History
Due to its strategic importance the Southers and the Norts are fighting over the planet. This perpetual war has seen the use of just about every weapon of mass destruction, which made the planet toxic. Most life forms became extinct or mutated, and all inhabitants must wear protective chem-suits at all times. Because of this the Souther scientists were instructed to start the G.I. program to create a supersoldier immune to all those dangers.
The planet was originally called "New Earth", which later became "Nu-Earth" as it was an Earth-like paradise before the war started. Many of its place names have the prefix 'Nu-', i.e. Nu-Atlanta.
The war ultimately comes to an end, with life once again returning to Nu Earth, where now endless fields of gravestones cover the horizon; commemorating the war.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“When the coherence of the parts of a stone, or even that composition of parts which renders it extended; when these familiar objects, I say, are so inexplicable, and contain circumstances so repugnant and contradictory; with what assurance can we decide concerning the origin of worlds, or trace their history from eternity to eternity?”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
“The basic idea which runs right through modern history and modern liberalism is that the public has got to be marginalized. The general public are viewed as no more than ignorant and meddlesome outsiders, a bewildered herd.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
“If you look at the 150 years of modern China’s history since the Opium Wars, then you can’t avoid the conclusion that the last 15 years are the best 15 years in China’s modern history.”
—J. Stapleton Roy (b. 1935)
