For the Decade of the 80s, Elysium stood out for the Megapolis, metropolitan areas formed by conurbations of large cities whose populations exceed 10 million inhabitants. These Megapolis were notable for being the first on Elysium to be fitted with an experimental multi-layer laser-based air and missile defense system designed to destroy missiles, artillery shells and mortar shells at a maximum height of 7 kilometers. This Experimental System called "Quirinus" uses an advanced high-power fiber optic laser, cheaper and less harmful to the environment than a chemical laser, to intercept and destroy targets in flight within 4 to 5 seconds of being "fired" , once the threat has been registered by detection and surveillance systems, and monitored by systems located at key points. It is intended to intercept threats at heights of up to 10 kilometers. Target interception and destruction occur once two simultaneously fired condensed laser beams contact the target at once. The system engages the target by means of a thermal sensor and destroys it in one of two ways: either by activating the explosive of the intercepted device itself (in the case of missiles and projectiles) —result of the intense heat concentrated at this point—, causing its explosion , or by destroying elements of the target that neutralize it (especially in the case of aircraft, particularly drones). The system would offer two versions: a static one, deployed at strategic points and a mobile one, installed on armored combat vehicles. The main Megapolises were.

  • Megapolis Imperial : Union between Augusta Elysium and Mons Regius
  • Megapolis Ferrum: Lower Irocois Peninsula to Civis Chicagou and Nova Toletum Emerita.
  • Megapolis Atlanticus Superior: Union between Septimia Severus to Civis Mohawk.
  • Megapolis Hispania: All lower peninsula of Hispania Maritimae.
  • Megapolis Neronia: Union between Castrum Dentatus, Neropolis and Colonia Taurica Maritimae.
  • Megapolis Arapaho: Union of Civis Cheienne to Colonia Hohokamus.
  • Megapolis California: Junction between Cives Cosoy to Aureum Ostium including Faventia.
  • Megapolis Pacifica: Union between Diocletianopolis and Colonia Silva Acernus.
  • Megapolis Mexico: Formed around Civis Aztecus and surrounding cities.
  • Megapolis Nova Carthago: Built around Nova Carthago and the Lacus Carthago.
  • Megapolis Sarmatiae: Built around Polis Sarmatiae and the coastline.
  • Megapolis Inca: Built around Incapolis
  • Megapolis Argentius: Built around Civis Argentius and the Rio Argentius.

The decade was a time of great prosperity on Elysium, largely due to the unexpected explosion of the technology industries that produced Informaticum Nexus commonly called InfoNex (OTL:Internet). Economies experienced a period of economic expansion. At the same time, personal income doubled compared to other years, and there was higher productivity in general. Individual ownership of personal computers increased from 35% to 70% at the same time that they became more accessible with even greater capabilities. At the same time, the creation of a novel transport system began. This system is commonly called MagLev (Magnetica Leviticus). The MagLev System allows the train to travel along a guide of magnets that control the stability and speed of the train. The magnet guide consists of two sets of magnets: one to repel and push the train off the track, and another set to move the elevated train forward, taking advantage of the lack of friction. Two types of intercity systems were made. A high speed system (more than 400 kilometers per hour (250 mph)) and another of low speed urban systems (80 kilometers per hour (50 mph) to 200 kilometers per hour (120 mph). Thanks to the immense amount of energy production centers (hydroelectric dams, nuclear power plants and wind-solar farms) could afford the high energy consumption On the other hand, in the field of medicine it was possible to clone a living being for the first time, a dog called "Primus " of Cane Corso breed.

The cell used as a donor for the cloning of Primus was taken from a mammary gland, and the production of a healthy clone therefore demonstrated that a cell taken from a specific part of the body could recreate an individual During the process, three "mothers" were needed: one provided the ovule, another the DNA, and a third carried the cloned embryo to term. She was created using the somatic cell nuclear transfer technique, where the cell nucleus of an adult cell is transferred into an unfertilized oocyte (developing egg) that has had its cell nucleus removed. The hybrid cell is stimulated to divide by an electrical discharge, and when it becomes a blastocyst it implants itself into a surrogate mother. The success gained a lot of attention in the media and more tests were produced. With such an achievement, it was hoped to combat the extinction of certain animals.

At the same time that cloning was taking its first steps as a crawling baby would, so would genetic modification, which had been applied for millennia in matters such as the development of agriculture and the selective breeding of farm animals, even in human slavery. All with the aim of satisfying human needs, whether it be a greater number of crops, larger animals that provide more fur, meat, even have greater resistance and strength. Therefore, Maratha and Japanese scientists in collaboration with Elysium ended up investigating the use of genetically modified crops that allowed genes to be added or deleted using genetic engineering techniques. The main modification in crops added resistance to herbicides, insects. The main hope of these genetic modifications was increased yield, decreased use of land, less use of fertilizers and reduced use of farm machinery. On the other hand, one of the main modified crops would be Tobacco together with the Coca plant.

On the other hand, the companies or Collegiums were regulated by the government through a national standard for the property of the Collegium. Each Collegium had to declare the value of its capital and from there the market forces established an effective price for the guild. This total price could be subdivided into proportional parts representing partial ownership in the guild: Partes (commercial shares). As a result of this, the Forum Pars (Stock Exchange) were founded, an efficient way of regulating property while establishing a forum for the exchange of shares. The main Forum Pars were Forum Pars Elysium, Forum Pars Lenape, Forum Pars Cheienne, Forum Pars California, Forum Pars Aztecus, Forum Pars Inca, and Forum Pars Argentium. Japan, the Maratha and various states were quick to copy this economic system as an efficient way of regulating property.

The Emperor of Elysium as of 2738 AUC (1984 AD) was Gaius Antonius Avitus. Avitus would stand out as the son of a successful businessman who spent his first ten years of life in the province of Hibernia that made his company listed in the Lenape Forum Pars. His childhood was always marked in a mixed environment between the military: given the geographical position of Hibernia and the more than constant presence of a minimum of ten Legions in the Emerald Isle. And the aristocratic: given Ireland's popularity as a tabula rasa for business and farming that was enhanced by the vast majority of his friends being sons of prominent local or provincial political figures. He studied at the Universitas de Glasgow before being sent to the Bellica Academy. In the time between college and Bellica Academy, he worked at the 40,000-acre "Villa" on the outskirts of Dublin, owned by his future father-in-law. At the age of 21, he married Appia Flavia Corvina, daughter of a Senate.

Throughout his life he held the titles of Governor of Hibernia, Caledonia and Hispania Maritimae. Until at the age of 42 he managed to be elected as the new emperor after the death of the previous one. One of the new measures that Avitus imposed was greater action training in the legal security forces. This led to the formation of the Vigiles Inmunes. The Vigiles Inmunes were simply Vigiles (policemen) with more specialized roles. The Vigiles Immune roles were:

  • Vigiles Inmunes Infans: personnel specialized in working with minor offenders.
    51fcf933bf6efae481d0af583d39a825.jpg
  • Vigiles Inmunes Canis: Personnel specialized in working with dogs.
  • Vigiles Inmunes Equites: Personnel specialized in horse patrol and crowd control.
  • Vigiles Inmunes Limitanei: Personnel specialized in border control at airports and ports.
  • Vigiles Inmunes Caelus: Personnel specialized in using aircraft for traffic control, ground support, search and rescue, high-speed car chases, observation, air patrol, and control of large-scale public events and / or public order incidents.
  • Vigiles Inmunes Pyrabolum: Personnel specialized in the elimination of chemical, biological, incendiary, radiological ("dirty bombs") and nuclear bombs and explosive devices.
  • Vigiles Immune Comitatenses: Personnel specialized in using military equipment, uniforms and training to serve as a militarized force of rapid reaction and rapid insertion available and serve in operations against organized crime and the fight against terrorism.
  • Vigiles Inmunes Latrones: Personnel specialized in the fight against organized crime.
  • Vigiles Inmunes Cybernetica : Personnel specialized in the fight to stop cybercrime.

In 1989, the Dartmoor Ministry of Supply facility under the code name "Baskerville" developed several designer pests, targeting coca, opium and narcotic plants. In an operation under the code name HOUND, they released the virus and in a short time the Coca plant was almost wiped off the face of the earth. Given the victory within their reach, the British government confirmed its responsibility for the release of the virus. Such an act almost ensures the complete destruction of the companies dedicated to drug cultivation. In retaliation for the near eradication of narcotics crops, groups of Bucellari (Mercenaries) financed by Elysian businessmen began a campaign against the English. To the point that an explosion almost destroyed London Bridge. The effect of the campaign was devastating. This series of events starts a domino effect that spreads throughout the world. Within days, the entire world is plunged into crisis as the virus hits India and China.

In the territories of South Cassiopeia, the economy is reeling and almost collapsing. But the development of genetically modified drugs allows for a rebound, the new drugs had longer lasting effects, less damaging, more adaptable even higher production. Like Hydra, the Elysians struck back like a kick in the scrotum to the English, but like any blow, the English demanded the arrest of the majority of pharmaceutical entrepreneurs of Elysian origin on English soil. This led to a black legend that Elysium businessmen are actually "drug lords" who legally sell medicine but behind the scenes supply drugs to crime families. Motivated by this, the government gave the green light for police SWAT (Special Weapons And Tactics) units to break into the main regional offices and homes of companies or entrepreneurs of Elysium origin who work in the pharmaceutical sector.

The arrest of the Elysium businessmen soon came with the attack on the companies by English citizens who went so far as to attack the workers, whether English or Elysium, to the point that several workers ended up being killed after serious injuries that included group beatings and stabbings. Such aggressions did nothing but anger an Elysium that demanded the release of its citizens and the arrest of those responsible for the violence. The English government refused and that provoked a response in the form of a declaration of war. With twenty Legions (124,000) in the British Isles, Elysium began the invasion of England in 1990. The Elysiums had a clear military and technological advantage. Cybernetics had become a reality, and advances in cyber technology are widely accepted. Aerial vehicles called Aerodynes allowed for superior deployment capabilities. The British Armed Forces had unprecedented support on English soil although the rest of Europe abandoned them due to the secondary effects of the HOUND virus against his own crops.

In the first few weeks, the Aerodynes proved much more effective in this war as well, their superior maneuverability, armor, and stability, allowing them far more access to the battlefield than helicopters. Cybernetics allowed soldiers to stay in the fight longer and even acquire more speed, physical strength or monitoring systems from headquarters. The first motorized armours, huge units reminiscent of faster, more heavily armored EOD suits, were first deployed here. England, due to the situation, deployed the Penal Corps for the first time, with entire prison populations being selected for military service in exchange for reduced sentences. Penal troops must fight alongside standard military units, which makes many in the military nervous. Armed and convicted murderers, rapists and other violent criminals who are sent to war and have the whole world looking on with suspicion. Enlistment standards were drastically lowered, making the whole situation more tense by the minute.

By 1992, England was fighting a desperate battle against the Legions. The main English commander was General Norman Schwarzkopf Jr., a Colonial-born Commander who possessed a reputation as a commander who preferred to lead from the front, even willing to risk his own life for his subordinates. His leadership style emphasized preparation, discipline, and rigorous training. The situation, however, was brutal and the Elysium advance faced air attacks throughout the English soil due to the Air Bases in Hibernia or the Isle of Man that was taken in the first weeks of combat. The English Penal battalions soon proved to be a serious mistake because in the worst battles, the penal soldiers ended up facing and killing enemies, allies and civilians alike while raiding and looting the surroundings. Reports of the atrocities committed by the rogue prisoners were so horrific that they were ordered executed. Around 600,000 prisoners were used in the most brutal combat as either cannon fodder or expendable troops.

The Welsh Front was described as a guerrilla war where the Imperial forces fought against a force of irregular enemies who rarely stood and fought, and who blended into the surrounding civilian population and mountains like ghosts. The use of AV variant gunships armed with heavy weaponry ranging from Heavy Machine Guns to rocket launchers with heat-seeking, anti-tank, cluster missiles and more provided an advantage against Welsh guerrillas. Scandinavia, under the Oslo Pact treaty, provided military support to England but the deployment of Castra Navis (Sea forts) that were capable of serving as anti-ship and anti-aircraft platforms, was a strong impediment. To survive in this increasingly deadly air defense zone, Scandinavia had to adopt newer, more specialized tactics. approach targets at higher altitudes (to avoid anti-aircraft fire) and become prey for SAMs, or fly lower to avoid missiles and become the target of anti-aircraft batteries.

The English Royal Family was evacuated from London, after the bombing of London where London bridges were destroyed with cruise missiles, unfortunately the Prince of Wales, Charles was killed when the royal transport codenamed "Prydwen" was the object of an air attack that ended the life of the Prince who ended up sinking in the waters of the Canal. The news of Charles's death only escalated the war to the point that Elysium prisoners were executed and exposed as an example of the fate of any invader. Unfortunately, the invasion of Cornwall and the near conquest of Wales in 1993 was a brutal blow that began to abandon the islands. The sight of abandoned trucks and tanks in landing zones became common and even more so when these same vehicles were used by partisan groups who would continue the fight. England ended up being abandoned by the royal family and in El Cairo, Queen Elizabeth II ended up dying of her own disgust at losing her homeland.

The new king of England was eleven-year-old William, Duke of Cambridge, but the royal regent was his grandfather Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, who would rule until he came of age. Although most countries considered the British Isles lost, that did not prevent military units from ending up not reporting to the high command and becoming a kind of military alliance of groups made up of militias and military units that refused to withdraw. Mainly in the South East, Midlands and London regions, they were plagued by riots that quickly became much more violent as they organized and waged a brutal urban guerrilla war against the Elysiums, resulting in gun battles that consumed the streets, buildings and city blocks of Greater London, due to the proximity of these guerrilla groups and the supplies left behind by the retreating British army, they were able to mount a more effective guerrilla war than any other British force in other parts of the country.

By 1995, the City of London had been subjected to years of bombing that had left no structures standing, and most of the civilian population had fled by boat. Still, the rebels held the city through guerrilla warfare and spending most of their time in heavily fortified fortifications. The Elysium troops were responsible for a series of human rights abuses and crimes against humanity ranging from the suppression of basic freedoms to acts of genocide. During the conflict, many units rounded up rebels in concentration camps to hold them prisoner or use as slave labor. The worst situation was the Christian clergy where around 5,000 clergymen were crucified on the banks of the Temesis River. The province of Britannia was created but due to the unstable situation, it became necessary to maintain a minimum number of ten Legions to secure the region.

In the early 90s, Japan would end up surprising the world with the Ultra Gerulius Caeli (supercarrier) "Hiryu". The Aircraft Carrier was a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier that had five take-off and landing runways. This new aircraft carrier soon set a new standard in the military by providing an aircraft carrier that is capable of serving as naval mobile air bases. In China, Japan would end up intervening and occupying North China including Mongolia in 1990. The occupation of Manchuria and Mongolia came with the establishment of the Autonomous Governments of Manchukuo and Mengjiang. Both Autonomous Governments were in themselves, vassals of the Empire of Japan and as such the main purpose of their armies was to support any possible Japanese operation in their area of operations, and to act as a local security force, with the local police forces. In general, the new territories experienced rapid economic growth and progress in their social systems. The Zaibatsu took it upon themselves to build or rebuild the railway system making it efficient and impressive, while most of the Zaibatsu owned large stakes in many industrial projects throughout the region. Most puppet governments featured a very heavily state-led economy to achieve their goal of vastly increasing industrial production.

On the other hand, Japan would surprise the world by inventing the first fusion-powered rocket capable of providing efficient and sustained acceleration in space without the need to carry a large supply of fuel. Using Helium-3 as fuel, Japan soon managed to reach the orbit of Mars and Mercury in two separate missions. The colonization of the Moon soon saw Selenepolis being transformed into a huge complex where the only exposed parts were launch and landing facilities and the Litobolos "Selene". But below, stretched a vast underground network of tunnel networks connecting artificial subterranean biospheres. In a completely unexpected political move, the Elysian government declared that while the security and administration of Selenepolis would be handled by the Elysian forces, any nation would be able to land on the colony and use it for any civilian task. But the colonization of the moon saw cave-cities dug under the frozen deserts of Moon. The lunar underworld quickly became populated with tunnels and caverns. Where once there was only darkness, now light shone from either tunnels with MagLev trains or pedestrians. The miners dug deep and their tools glowed white-hot but as in the age of exploration and sails, space piracy soon emerged in the form of ships with weapon systems in the form of torpedoes/missiles: self-propelled guided weapon systems compatible with a series of of warheads, later the Ballista electrika (Railgun Artillery) were issued: Mass drivers designed for military purposes and capable of accelerating tungsten slugs to high speeds. Often a Railgun projectile will pass cleanly through its target, dealing deadly damage depending on the area affected given its piercing power. Later there are the Punctual Defense Systems or PDS in the form of adjustable cannons with rapid firing and high precision given their range that goes from one kilometer to five hundred meters, capable of acting as a CIWS system.

The development of weapons as a result of the so-called "Space Front" caused the development of the first Coclius electrika nicknamed "electroclius" (OTL: Gauss Rifle), the Coclius electrika used a capacitor charging system capable of accelerating any acceptable ferromagnetic projectile. Soon the effectiveness of such weapons led to the investigation of automatic models, although due to the cost, it was decided to equip them only for space warfare. In the year 2000, the greatest space traffic ever seen would begin. Fleets from the Russian Empire, the newly named Indian Empire that in view of a plan to implement Indian nationalism in the Maratha Empire had changed its name, Scandinavia and Iberia even Austrians. Each nation had a dream, a particular vision of a perfect world, an ideal to which all its citizens aspired. Each one fought to achieve that ideal in the territories of the Solar System. The proud settlers of mighty Japan set foot on the soil of Mars, and painstakingly began to build Akagishi (Red Future City). The committed Indian settlers would excavate their cities in underground domes beneath the burning sands of Mercury's deserts. Mercury's subsoil would quickly become populated while the Indian overpopulation that threatened the subcontinent was combated by a space diaspora.

Hundreds of methods would be investigated and put into practice to survive and colonize abroad. In the midst of these processes a new stage of body modifications would begin. Body cybernetics would include a new class that would be focused on improving human anatomy and physiology rather than connecting it to electronics or mechanics. From skin tissue that has damage resistance similar to light armor (think Kevlar) to bioengineered (all-organic) antibodies, designed to be more efficient than natural antibodies intended to increase resistance to disease, at the same time as vat-grown organic muscle that could, in a matter of a few days or weeks, make a person have the physical strength of a bodybuilder. Cybernetic technology did not stop there, for at the same time, space exploration helped speed up the miniaturization process. Reinforced spines and joints were first designed for workers, grafted upper airway air filters for those working in hazardous environments.

In Russia, in the early 2000s, the Russian Civil War would break out after a long period of political turmoil that degenerated into conflict. In this period of turmoil, Istanbul began funding and training various dissident groups in Russia, creating a campaign of terrorism that fueled public animosity toward Russian political institutions and deepened divisions within the military. The Tsar of Russia at that time was Nikolai Alekséyevich Romanov, son of Alexios II of Russia. Soon, the disturbances increased to the point that in the Caucasus region and the South Urals they declared a rebellion that made it necessary to mobilize several Guards Infantry Division. In the midst of the rebellions, Kazakhstan, a large oil-producing region, was affected. Due to the need to recover the vast oil fields, military trials and punishments were authorized against the rebels, which led to a swift and savage campaign of repression. The harsh repression brought about by Ottoman Agents managed to assist by giving military training and equipment to the rebel regions. Ottoman weapons and training in rebel hands allowed for the use of guerrilla warfare involving a massive counterattack that brought down a Russian military division. Because of this, the Russian STAVKA authorized a heavy bombing campaign that weakened supply routes, while destroying roads, bridges and electrical infrastructure. While few civilians were killed in these attacks, the psychological impact was powerful. The war saw the deployment of troops used with cybernetics, including the use of combat drugs that caused massacres, but on October 12, 2003, the Tsar and his family, except for his son Theodore Nikolayevich Romanov, were the object of a terrorist attack that saw the Imperial Russian Air Transport, being shot down when an explosive in the cargo compartment detonated causing the plane to crash a short distance from Moscow, the only survivor was Theodore Nikolayevich Romanov who was injured and paraplegic.

The new Tsar was soon subjected to a hatred of Muslim minorities when a Caucasic rebel cell claimed responsibility for the attack. Soon, waves of anti-Muslim radicalism spread to the point that faith and nationalism motivated the troops and the rebel territories were not only retaken. Russia entered the conflict as a fractured and fragile Imperial Monarchy and re-emerged as a strongly religious imperialist state.
 
What does the dark purple bordering India and China represent.
Also well done Japan, populating that ‘ring of fire’.
Loving this story by the way.
 
yes. In some animes of Japan is basically the allied of Japan. Imagine it like the relation between USA and Japan or similar.
Even more closer perhaps because Elysium didn't invade Japan and certainly have not yet dropped an atomic bomb on their head.
India is OP they have some of the richest lands in the world they also didn’t get robbed by the British of nearly 50 Trillion in wealth and they control some of the biggest trading lanes in the world and have the population of 2 billion
2 Biilion???? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Where have the Brits settled the Royal family??

2010 India population was 1.2 billion Pakistan is 200 million Bangaladesh is 150 million Afghanistan is 30 million Nepal population is 30 million Myanmar is 50 million Sri Lanka is 30 million Thailand is 70 million Malaysia is 30 million Singapore is 5 million Cambodia is 15 million Sumatra is 50 million = 1.86 Billion nearly 2 billion with how much more richer and advanced India is in this TL wouldn’t doubt if there population is past 2 billion

Also it said they where in something El Cairo so Egypt
But at the same time it is very much possible that their population might be much lesser than OTL, there are many reasons for that and listing certain reasons here might see me getting "Kicked" as they would look like racist.
 
Chapter 59 Caesar Marcus Porcius Aquilinus 2764 AUC / 2010 AD - 2785 AUC / 2031 AD

Imperator Augustus Caesar Marcus Porcius Aquilinus

The annexation of the British Isles, was the propulsion for restorationist nationalist politicians while a greater number of supporters who advocated restoring the Empire. The Elysium Empire even began to use the propaganda industry with the battle. They used terms like "Fronts", "Campaigns" and "Advancements", to motivate the workers to work harder than ever and calling them "Civilian Legionnaires". Posters and flyers were used to promote and publicize militarism. One of the biggest supporters of this was Appalachian-born politician Marcus Porcius Aquilinus who introduced bold new political and economic initiatives. Aquilinius would stand out for giving a speech in the rebuilt but heavily militarized Londinium due to the political instability of the situation due to the presence of rebel groups such as Her Majesty's Most Loyal Resistance (abbreviated HMMLR) who used effective deception and concealment tactics and carried out terrorist attacks. Although Marcus Porcius Aquilinus would win the love of the Elysium people, he would also win the hatred of the British Empire that had been exiled to Africa. The British Empire in Africa would see an increase in the development of the country at the levels of infrastructure, industry, technology and individual wealth, although it would also see an increase in crime by depriving native populations of good land to build all kinds of buildings, whether industrial to residential that would later be occupied by people of European descent. In Egypt, the situation would see a situation that would end up leading to disturbances, requiring the deployment of the army to quell the revolts. Such a situation would be mainly motivated by the lack of understanding between the British and Egyptian populations and even the elimination of Egyptian as an administrative language being replaced by English.

Unfortunately, an event would shake Europe. The Australian War of Independence. Since the Austrian-Iberian War that saw the Iberian invasion of Australia, the nation had been embarked on a military buildup that increased every decade. By 2010 AD, the Australian Army was among the best fighting units in the world and was considered a powerful and professional army. Unfortunately in 2011, the Austrian government uncovered a scandal that involved the Rothschild family to the point that the Rothschilds had to leave Austria. The Governor of Australia, Solomon Eugène Von Rothschild refused to give in on the grounds that "Australia was built by the Rothschilds and the Jews". The argument had a lasting effect on the tight-knit Australian community to the point that the military in Australia was divided between officers of Austrian and Australian origin. Within days, Australian mobile rapid reaction units took control of the country while the Austrians fled to New Zealand. Over several months, Australia saw a transformation that was likened to a snake changing its skin. Austrian flags were burned at the same time as Jewish flags were made. Apart from that Australia was one of the first nations to allow women to enlist in the army, serving in combat units. The Battle of Tasmania would be its baptism of fire when 1,000 Australian soldiers landed in Tasmania and seized the joint air-naval military base. The battle at the same time demonstrated to the Austrian command the sophistication, organization and modern weapons of Australia, and the quality of the training. Due to the situation of chaos that was developing, the Vatican decided to intervene by giving the speech "The Union of Christianity against the Pagans and Infidels", such a speech would only make the Holy Alliance unify in the Holy Empire of Europe.

This Holy Empire meant the unification of Iberia, Pontificate and Austria together with England, in an elective monarchical confederation where the sovereign would rule from Rome in clear similarity to Christian Rome. Such an event would end up developing a feeling of friction with Elysium. The unification of Iberia, the Vatican, Austria and England led to the formation of the European Space Agency. ESA took almost two years to organize itself as a space agency that brought together four countries that had their own agencies. Due to unification, ESA obtained the Mass Driver Kilimanjaro, built on the same mountain. Using this, ESA quickly rose to prominence with almost weekly launches when they began construction of a toroidal space station called Eden in 2015. At the same time, the Holy European Empire poured billions of dollars of R&D into robotics building their First Automated General Infantry Units. (A.G.I.U. pronounced AGI-U). AGIUs stand out as the first functional humanoid robots. These early androids were slow and physically similar to skeletons that lacked the strength to carry anything other than their primary weapon, commonly a submachine gun or assault rifle and a box of ammunition. They had limited combat effectiveness and were easily defeated by armored infantry. The Sahara would be the first territory to deploy large robotic infantry units, mainly to guard the inhospitable territory. Shortly thereafter, Elysium began ramping up production of its own robotic units after 2019, and had 100,000 in the field by 2020. Unlike their European counterparts, these units were intended not only to police territory, but also to augment supporting the average soldier. Some versions might be able to operate vehicles, though not to the degree of humans. Elysium acquired the first neural imprinting technology to quickly update android infantry with the combat experience of humans and other android units, while machine learning systems allowed them to adapt and improve their combat effectiveness. Like most androids of this era, its durability was limited in order to keep costs low and prioritize versatility.

At the same time, in 2020 the Lorica Bellator Mark I was deployed, which had been 70 years in the making and design. The Bellator Mark I encompassed more than just armor, but a pioneering effort aimed at breaking down technological barriers. The Bellator served as a sealed system, capable of time-limited extravehicular activity or operations in a toxic atmosphere as well as being hardened against EMP and radiation. At the same time, the first Neural Interfaces were designed, to be implanted at the base of the skull through sophisticated surgery that allowed the Lorica Bellator to be used more effectively. These Neural Interfaces were not long in reaching the civilian sector. Neural Interfaces in general opened a new sector for people to acquire skills that previously only physical effort or long and expensive treatments allowed. These abilities included military variants such as: combat muscle memory; that allows a person to be gifted in martial arts or in fighting in general that his muscles seem to have memorized the movements even without ever having fought, Military Grade Neurachemy; which means enhanced reflexes, Regeneration; an implant that enhances the body's own natural regenerative functions, being able to heal bullet holes and stab wounds, however it is ineffective in treating major trauma, Leadership; a uniquely coded military grade implant. Specifically designed for soldiers to follow orders from their officers and friendly fire incidents can never occur. While the civil models included cybernetic enhancements that allow interaction with any technology or system in the immediate environment or codified seduction through bioengineering that allows the deployment of pheromones in saliva, sweat and clitoris reaching the point of attracting men and women to sleep with the bearer. This modification was popular in prostitution.

Another model of cybernetic implant was a mini computer that is installed in a person's eye, which allows a person to connect with their electronic devices, make and receive calls, make or send videos, etc. In 2020, at the same time, Alexandria-based Hilton Hotels Corporation reached the surface of the asteroid Ceres, the largest known asteroid and the only dwarf planet in the inner Solar System. Then began the construction of what became known as the Palace of Demeter at a high material, financial and human cost, because in 2023, there was an attempt to seize the space station by a group of space pirates, but it failed thanks to the intervention of the mercenary paramilitary group Albion - Security Operations Group, which acted as head of the security services of the Palace of Demeter. The fact that a private company managed to colonize a space body, caused the synonym Space Colonialism to begin to emerge and dozens of commercial companies had the objective of colonizing space. Venus began to be colonized by Europe in 2025 at the same time as the foundations of a network of high-atmosphere floating cloud cities were unfolding on Venus due to a cooperation between the ten largest corporations of the Holy European Empire.
