[Arknights] INTERSTELLAR COLD [Pilot]

It began when the USSR landed on the moon.

The humiliation stings American psyche for years to come, yet it propelled the nation further yet into the stars as the Space race continued into the 80s, the cold war, it seemed, turned towards the stars.

30th of February 1975. At 0000 hours, the Earth seemed to light up as if it were day. Doctor James John Eden, an engineer at NASA, awoken to a divine revelation, a solar system appeared just outside of the Oort cloud. The third planet from it he named Eden, with the twin moons Terminus and Peregrine. He was later diagnosed with Schizophrenia.

Dubbed the 'Horizon Event' and later named the Horizon system, the eyes of America and the Soviets turned towards the anomaly. A ruined orbital ring, an invisible barrier encapsulating the planet, and an event that defied natural physics.

1989 was the year the Cold War went Interstellar.
