Act 1
Will blind rage lead you anywhere but destruction? The Atomic Kingdom of China learned this the hard way.

In 1968 a massive meteor hit the Chinese mainland. Two factions used its unnatural components to build mighty weapons and destroyed each other in the process.

A third faction, the Atomic Kingdom, took the weapons from both and in its rage swore revenge against the world.

It seemed easy enough. Subdue the other powers. Steal what you need from the other factions. And leave earth.

So the Atomic Kingdom got to work. In its first months, under the players command, they hunted down, destroyed and assimilated the remaining members of Red and Blue Chinese, the ones responsible for their homeland's demise.

Afterward Mei have the player sweep across the borders. Two armies supported by the Starfleet went out north and east, respectively.

Mei first sends the player to attack Soviet Union in Siberia, and a campaign of events in its Asian parts led to the capture and decoding of Tesla technology. And afterwards nuked the factories making the tesla weaponry and their vehicle factories.

Next Mei have the player command Eurasian forces reaching Europe proper by navy, by plane and also on the land way, the Kingdom was most interested in Allied Cryo technology, anything else that was deemed unusable was simply ignored. And after a harrowing battle through Norway they had managed to steal and decode their cryo technology, leaving a little gift in the HQ afterwards, and was nearly stopped by a pursuing Allied army before they had to give up. Letting the chinese triumphantly returning home while reducing their military bases bordering the union to nuclear craters.

Now the player is tasked to steal the Sun Empires nanotechnology. And after a bloody battle of island hopping had retrieved their Nanotechnology and after revealing its secrets, the Kingdom had no more use for the islands of Japan and nuked many of their small islands and military bases from orbit.

So it was continued, after the Empire they began to buy the Syndicates cybernetics technology, and after a bloody battle to lower their price and a showcase of their nuclear might they forced the Syndicate to give their cybernetics, even nuking a chunk of their sprawls out of spite, where they learned of a mythical metal.

While Mei sends forces to see if this so called "talon steel" is true the player is sent to Korea where a Confederate cell had incited the survivors to attack china in revenge, ending with the cell, and Korea, utterly reduced glass laden nuclear craters. When Mei return with news that yes talon steel does exist.

Now the player is tasked to find the Order of the Talon in the ruins of Taiwan, where its rumored a crawler is there. And after a bloody guerilla battle with the talons in the ruins they not only learned about talon steel but even stole enough DNA to clone the smiths of this mythical steel. And nuked their crawler into nothing but molten scrap.

Their goal though? They wanted to leave the planet. Before anyone else, they had found a habitable planet outside the Solar System, 19 lightyears away. It was promised that once they can put all nobles into safe cryogenic sleep, they will take to the stars.

That was the reason behind it all. To reach to the stars and find a new home.

In the ending days of the Fourth World War, the Earth was no longer green and blue. Yet the Atomic Kingdom was almost successful. Almost. As it turned out, The Viceroy had different plans.

Rather than do something about the situation, he proclaimed it was all going according to his will. It was simple too: he hated humanity. The armies he send out to take of everything were easily beaten by the now experienced forces, which was when his dark secret was lifted.

The Viceroy is a machine. Specifically, as he so boldly stated, two great AIs merged into one, more insane than either. But that insanity had its price and he was disposed off soon enough. Back to the plans, right?

When irony threw a fit and decided otherwise, the Atomic Chinese doomed themselves. They had built interstellar spacecraft. They had the chambers ready and most nobles were already aboard. The clones though? They were supposed to stay behind and operate a light beacon that will lead the way to the new planet and that was their downfall.

As much as the Atomic Kingdom appeared alien to the other factions, even more alien was the enemy they awakened. Unbeknownst to everyone, a fleet of starships build by a race named the Scrin lured just outside the Solar System. It circled around the sun in an impossibly wide orbit and waited for a signal. The signal was found.

The Scrin mobilized their forces and headed out to find the reason for the disturbance. It was the very light the Atomic Kingdom send out to lead the way. The Scrin made short work of the ships just leaving Mother Earth, then landed and took care of the rest. The leaderless army had no choice but to defend themselves but in the end was pointless.

Thus it came that the Scrin destroyed the Atomic Kingdom, with only few splinter cells still remaining, until they will be found and eradicated by the alien menace. So ends the tale of a kingdom. Is it the end for humanity though? Only time will tell.
