9/28/35

On September 28th, 2035, Canada, Brazil, Russia, Japan, India, and Iraq signed documents declaring war on Mars and her unnamed colonies for rampant crime, mass murder, and unauthorized detonation of thermonuclear warheads in the Pacific Ocean. The United States made first contact with [Data Expunged] 4 months prior, attempting to establish common language and trade routes. The original intent of the States was to come to friendly terms with the [Data Expunged] so that technological trade could become a possibility.

The States displayed their Zeus-class armor plating, hoping to catch the attention of the [Data Expunged] official so that they may inform US engineers how to improve their armor. The [Data Expunged] official returned to [Data Expunged] and displayed the only known plate of Kronos-class armor upon returning. The day that this plate was shown was September 28th, 2035 2:35 o'clock. On that date, Mars launched a volley of nuclear missiles at the facility in Alaska where the possible trade was taking place.

The Sol Dominance War begun that day and humankind was forbidden from access of Kronos-class plating until wartime had settled down.

Even in the year 2046, the [Data Expunged] have not returned to the Solar System.

The United States government built the Lifeblood of Inquiry in an attempt to find them once again. Nobody else knows about the Kronos-class but a select few officials in Maryland.
