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:
“Perhaps universal history is the history of the diverse intonation of some metaphors.”
—Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)
“Yet poetry, though the last and finest result, is a natural fruit. As naturally as the oak bears an acorn, and the vine a gourd, man bears a poem, either spoken or done. It is the chief and most memorable success, for history is but a prose narrative of poetic deeds.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The history of the genesis or the old mythology repeats itself in the experience of every child. He too is a demon or god thrown into a particular chaos, where he strives ever to lead things from disorder into order.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
