A/N: I found this story I was writing a couple years ago and am considering continuing it... but I'm not sure yet...

Story Background

No one suspected that "The Event" would ever happen. Perhaps state military with access to restricted files had some idea... but by the time that information was shared with those who could have actually done something about it... it was too late.

It happened in the blink of an eye. Within seconds... the earth's entire population was completely halved with 1/3 of the remaining being horrendously mutated beyond human recognition. It would go down in history as the most infamous annihilation of the human population in history.

In an attempt to calm mass panic and chaos, leaders of the remaining nations of the world had agreed to come together under one rule. 

The idea made sense at the time. 

Teamwork!

Group Effort!

One world! One love! Together we can!

Buzzwords to calm the people and bring back trust.

Let's share... everything!

Food, weapons, resources. 

But that's not the real world...

Rations became fewer requiring people to put in their fair share of work to earn what they needed to survive. The criteria was unfair. If you were disabled, had a large family, poor, uneducated, unskilled... you were screwed.

And considering most people had lost that which was most valuable to them during The Event, from husbands and daughters to legs, arms and sight... people grew desperate.

A world under one rule became ruthless and incited division and rebellion from those who became casualties of a caste system with the most powerful at the top and the most vulnerable at the bottom.

Richard Rockwell, was just a young man from the remaining ruins of Sydney, Australia when he formed the Omery Group. He was seen as a hero of the people when he led his small team in the first rebellion against their rulers. His revolution was so successful that he was automatically made leader of the new world order.

But that's exactly what it was... a new world order.

The small Omery Team became The Omery Army where Richard made it his personal goal to protect the people and fight back against enemies. Enemies were plentiful in this new post-apocalyptic/post-Event world. Some of the mutated humans formed their own vicious alliance called the Xree and regularly fought against the Omery Army in an attempt to claim resources. But between growing civil unrest and threats from the Xree, The Omery Army is on the brink of war.
