1 War. |
2 War never changes. |
3 The Romans waged war to gather slaves and wealth. |
4 Spain built an empire from its lust for gold and territory. |
5 Hitler shaped a battered Germany into an economic superpower. |
6 But war never changes. |
7 In the 21st century, war was still waged over the resources that could be acquired. |
8 Only this time, the spoils of war were also its weapons. |
9 Petroleum and uranium. |
10 For these resources, China would invade Alaska, the US would annex Canada, and the European Commonwealth would dissolve into quarreling, bickering nation-states, bent on controlling the last remaining resources on Earth. |
11 In 2077, the storm of world war had come again. |
12 In two brief hours, most of the planet was reduced to cinders. |
13 And from the ashes of nuclear devastation, a new civilization would struggle to arise. |
14 A few were able to reach the relative safety of the large underground Vaults. |

16 Imprisoned safely behind the large Vault door, under a mountain of stone, a generation has lived without knowledge of the outside world. |
17 Life in the Vault is about to change |
