The first nuclear weapon detonated in 1945, showering the earth in radiation that had gone unseen for millions of years. The opening of Pandora's Box led to countless explosions, twice against man, and many more in barren deserts and oceanic depths. As the crust of the planet became charged with energy once more, ancient things began to stir.
As these titans rose and fell in turn, humanity found itself swept up in their aftershocks. Nations struggled to defend themselves against these colossal monsters, or to make use of them in some way, or to merely survive and avoid their ire. Now, many years after the awakening of the Kaiju, humanity stands at a turning point.
The majority of their adversaries have fallen, leaving only a few aberrant threats and a handful of giants who seem satisfied with keeping the peace. Should they succeed, humanity will once again be at peace beneath the gaze of these watchful lords— so long as their wrath is not invoked, of course.
