@ -16,7 +16,7 @@ In June of 2073, the **Nukuri Seventh World War** began. It was one more attempt
There were many losses on both sides, including civilians, in a chaotic confrontation between people who, not long before, had been peacefully allied for half a century. In three years, the vastly superior Nukuri armies neutralized all opposition, and set their sights on the very heart of the country. Wishing to "slay the beast from within", a small team managed to locate and capture the president. He was given one last choice, right there and then. He could either surrender and publicly apologize for his affront to the empire, or he could refuse, and watch as the **Emperor's Wrath** falls down upon him.
He chose the latter option, and what followed was nothing short of unimaginably despicable and cruel. All Nukuri forces retreated, and they evacuated any remaining civilian Nukuri who still remained. Then, in an instant, a succession of blinding flashes of scorching light reduced all major cities across the United States territory to ashes, coming from the experimental orbital weapon the empire had built many years prior. It was its very first test fire, and the actual scale and effects of it were not yet known. Some say that the apocalyptic effects it had were not truly intended, that the plan was not to put an end to all life, but rather only cause destruction on a more "technical" level, disabling all electronic devices and machinery. Suffice to say, when the lead designer of this weapon, **Zanaveth Nekuraku I**, saw what had happened, he suffered a severe mental breakdown, and disappeared from the public eye for many years.

Then, in an instant, a succession of blinding flashes of scorching light reduced all major cities along the United States' east coast to ashes, coming from the experimental orbital weapon the empire had built many years prior.

With this attack, the flames of the war against the empire only got stronger. In addition, all the remaining Nukuri on Earth were forced to leave, and with the exception of a select few countries, the **White Scar Treaty** was signed almost unanimously, putting an end to half a century of Nukuri contributions to the evolution of our science and technology. Those who had signed had to reject anything made by them, and no longer make any contact with any member of their species. In addition, they were no longer allowed to remain on their Moon colony either, forcing the **Luna Research Institute** to close its doors after almost four thousand years.
