The Battleship USS Missouri firing her 16' guns at Zek hordes in New York City during it's reclamation, circa 2020. The old Battleship was reactivated by the US Navy in 2017 as it became apparent that her guns would prove useful during the planned Eastern Seaboard Reclamation Campaign. By 2019, the ship was able to move under her own power, her weapons reactivated, and more importantly, was fully crewed with diverse backgrounds, ranging from new recruits, to veteran sailors, and even a few veterans who were part of the original crew of the ship during WWII.

Pre-war photograph of the Ganges River in India.
The river itself would soon be overwhelmed by zombies as infected refugees thought the bathing in the river's "sacred" or "holy" waters would cure them of the African Rabies. Post-war, cities and towns across the Ganges River would build fortifications by the banks to prevent submerged zombies from resurfacing while police and military boats occasionally haul submerged zombies with fishing nets for termination.

Voting lines during the 2012 U.S. Presidential Elections on November 6, 2012. This was the last pre-war election held before the Great Panic broke out in May 2013 following the leak of Phalanx being a placebo against African Rabies.

First ever trailer of Grand Theft Auto V uploaded on YouTube on November 2, 2011. Slated for a release on the PS3 and the Xbox 360 by September 17, 2013, the Great Panic and the Battle of Yonkers would cause the indefinite cancellation of the release of the game. It was considered to be lost media for roughly 10 years before it was released by a reopened Rockstar Games on September 17, 2023 (the 10 years to the day of its planned release).

OOC: Been posting a lot of pre-war stuff.

BRP Gregorio del Pilar and a Philippine Coast Guard patrol ship deployed near the Scarborough Shoal in a stand-off with China Marine Surveillance vessels, April 2012. Recent declassified documents show that the Chinese were highlighting tensions in the South China Sea, East China Sea, and the Taiwan Straits to mask outbreaks of zombies in the mainland.

At Raglan Castle, Wales during the Panic, members of the public and restorers work to make the Castle secure against the Zombies. Raglan, like Ludlow, Stokesay, and a host of other Fortifications once again became bastions against an enemy, and homes for people.

South Korea faced a difficult struggle, suffering a major defeat comparable to Yonkers at Incheon, a situation compounded by the Defense Ministry's insistence at keeping half their armed forces along the DMZ to prevent a possible North Korean invasion.
 
North_Korean_Unha-3_rocket_at_launch_pad.jpg

North Korea's Unha-3 rocket carrying Kwangmyŏngsŏng-3 ready to launch at Tangachai-ri space center on April 8, 2012. The launch would occur on April 13, 2012 where in the rocket exploded 90 seconds after launch near the end of the firing of the first stage of the rocket. The launch was planned to mark the centenary of the birth of Kim Il-sung, the founder of the republic. Eight months later, on 1 December 2012 North Korea announced that a replacement satellite would be launched between 10 and 22 December 2012. After a delay and extending the launch window to 29 December, the rocket was launched on 12 December.

The following year on February 13, North Korea would test its third nuclear weapon wherein diplomatic relations with South Korea and the United States would deteriorate. This would mark one of the last significant events before the Great Panic in May 2013.

Aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombings on April 15, 2013 that killed 3 people. The city would then be on lock down for the next five days as authorities hunted down for the suspects, two Chechens named Tamerlan Tsarnaev and his younger brother Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. Along the way, the brother killed an MIT police officer in an attempt to steal the officer's sidearm. Tamerlan would be acidentally killed by his brother during an engagement with Watertown Police while the younger one would hide in a boat and surrender on April 19, 2013.

Though the heroic actions of the Boston Police Department and neighboring agencies would be praised in capturing the suspects, it would ultimately be overshadowed by the Great Panic a month later when news broke out that Phalanx would not protect against African Rabies.
