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.
