OOC: Decided to move into FT due to a waning interest in MT roleplay and a resurgent love for the Battletech universe through playing MechCommander. So here it is.

'The monumental part of history came early in the 21st century, when President-Kommissariat Maximillian Zachary Coltrane was voted from office and replaced by a hard-line Stalinist, President-Kommissariat Igor Donovitch Makenov. Unlike all previous members of the Cynapsian government, Igor Makenov took the notion of world revolution to an almost fanatical belief. Once the President-Kommissariat was informed of the existence of the Kommissariat of Paranormal Activities, he broke the one single rule - usage of the technology outside of extra-terrestrial contact. The results would change the world for centuries to come...'

Timeline: 21st to 22nd Century
2008: Maximillian Coltrane voted from office. Igor Makenov takes the President-Kommissariacy. Makenov begins top secret committee investigation into the uses of extra-terrestrial equipment within the Cynapsian Red Army, coined the 'Makenov Plan'.
2009: Head of Kommissariat of Paranormal Activities and serious critic of the Makenov Plan, Peter Redland, killed in a car accident on the outskirts of New London. Police investigation is quietly suppressed and no person is charged. Laura Quentin, long-time supporter of Igor Makenov, appointed as new Kommissariat in charge of the KPA.
2010: Cold Fusion reactors mastered by KPA scientists, and installation of vehicle-sized units begin to be installed in the modified Battle Tanks used by the Alien Defence Corps.
2015: Antimatter reactors salvaged from wrecked spacecraft are successfully reverse-engineered and utilised as power sources for KPA bases. Research into Antimatter explosives and miniturisation for weapon power supplies begins.
2020: The first Antimatter bomb is created, and full-scale production begins. Makenov reveals technology to the Cynapsian High Command and the Cabinet of Kommissariats, who both approve the usage of technology within the Red Army. Nature of "advanced" technology is revealed to the general public, but sources remain untold.
2021: Implementation of Tritanium armour into armoured vehicles begins, with Depleted Deuterium weaponry to replace standard rifled Battle Tank guns. Full scale production of Infantry Tritanium Armour and LR1 Laser Assault Rifles begin. Naval vessels begin similar outfitting.
2030: Implementation complete. Troops armed with laser weaponry, and armoured vehicles fully equipped. Antimatter weaponry weaponised into missile and bomb form. Tensions mount between Cynapsia and other world nations in the light of the buildup.
2035: The War of Planetary Liberation begins, with Cynapsian Red Army units striking into nearby nations. Cynapsian Missile and air units launch a devastating wave of antimatter missiles and bombs into major military targets within multiple nations. Incredible amounts of widespread damage and death. Cynapsia attacked with nuclear weapons, resulting in widespread civilian casualties. Makenov vows to continue.
2045: Cynapsian Red Army forces conquer three-quarters of the globe, virtually unstoppable due to their advanced technology. Antimatter weapons and laser technology are used without discretion.
2047: Final nations of the world surrender under threat of Antimatter bombing by Cynapsian forces. Red Army units begin to disperse to maintain peace in various areas of the world. Makenov declares the Cynapsian World Soviet Union.
2050: Period of redevelopment begins. Antimatter power technology is exported to replace destroyed power sources. A period of rebuilding and re-education begins
2072: The First Great Rebellion erupts. Red Army forces brutally suppress resistance. Education and rebuilding processes begun across the world.
2080: The Second Great Rebellion. Red Army forces suppress once more.
2092. Rebuilding proceding and increased scale. Re-education camps begin to pacify the population, taking children from families and teaching them a pro-Cynapsian view of history.
2130. Re-education process takes rebellion down to near zero levels. Reconstruction efforts practically complete. Antimatter power sources world-wide. Each country created as a state within the Cynapsian World Soviet Union, with a local government and National Senators sent to a World Congress of Deputies. Makenov elected World President-Kommissariat and appoints a World Cabinet of Kommissariats.
2143: Developments in technology lead to the discovery of an electroactive polymer called Molymer, retractable when supplied with an electrical current. First proposals for Bipedal Battle Tanks begin to be put forward, with the use of Molymer as a potential 'muscle' structure to solve the problems of speed and agility associated in the past.
