Introduction

The world of Bracken: Three kingdoms of hatred, one earth a ruin.

Bracken is set upon the planet earth, and as such the geography of the planet setting is very similar to current modern day earth.

The world however, is different in that it takes place in an alternate dimension, a different reality to the one we live in. Think of it as a “what if” scenario. What if Hitler won World War 2? What if the Romans had conquered the world? What if napoleon had unified Europe under French rule? In these events, the world we would live in today would perhaps be considerably different.

The world of bracken branched away from our own history along some other timeline, and as such the world itself is very different.

Brief History

The renaissance gave rise to many technologies on our timeline, and the same can be said in the world of Bracken. During this time, the rulers of various nations where mainly greedy and tyrannical as opposed to being peaceful and prosperous. Technology was geared towards total war. The eventual rise of gunpowder, and surprisingly at the same time, industrial steam power led to the rise of steam powered war machines, a sort of middle ages tank if you will. The wars of these times where devastating and evidently futile, as the leading powers of the world clashed with armies of conquest, but with little form of defence. Territories changed hands rapidly across the globe and steam power also connected the great seas for the first time.

A world that has run on international conflict was never ready for the continued drive of advances that war would bring. Technology is always driven by mans need for it, and in this case it was to attempt to give the edge to any warring nation.

Centuries of conflict passed until the development of nuclear weapons. Three kingdoms however, had already mastered space flight by the event of the nuclear age and as such, where more then prepared. Lasers had been developed intensely in order to create devastating field weapons, and such technology was used to shoot down any upcoming nuclear threats on their nations. The wars in space had begun as kingdoms clashed to gain domination of the orbit and rain down hell upon their foes.

It is perhaps best at this time, to point out that the social orders of many countries, especially the three main factions of this war, had not advanced beyond older more primitive structures within our own society. The three kingdoms clashed over their different political views for centuries up to this point and as such where firmly entrenched into their ways, with little tolerance of each other.

The devastation from over 700 years of war was coming to an end, for even in a world where conflict was everything, there is only so much man can do before nature revolts against him. With little care to the environment during the industrial age and beyond, global warming occurred on a world devastating scale. Modern states where swept away by vast tides, which then dried up in the blistering sun.

The world where Bracken begins is a desolate war torn landscape all over the globe. Entire continents form vast deserts, wracked by constant magnetic storms. The planet has become barely habitable by human life. Yet, with the rapid advance in technology, the three kingdoms did survive with fledging colonies.

For the first time in recorded history, mankind had put down his weapons.

Survival began to become a priority, and with the aid of technology even surpassing our own, new states arose from the ashes, based on the ideals of old, but huddled together for protection from the outer world. The concept of nations became more alien, as the lords of the three states, ever clinging to their petty old ways, surrounded themselves with fortress cities so vast they towered thousands of miles into the polluted ever grey skies. The cities replaced nations of old, with populations numbering into the millions. With the land wasted, food was cultivated from battery farming and hydroponics. Water is taken from vast pipes drilling to the huge reservoirs now buried underground absorbed along with the blood of conflicts going back before time remembers. Fusion reactors power these behemoths with enough energy to make everything possible within technological grasp.

This age of peace was to become unsteady in time however….

Once again, signals from across the planet, first radio, then more advanced subspace waves reached out to find more survivors. The three kingdoms had found each other once more. Old feuds still coursed deep in the veins of the nations and soon all three kingdoms began to prepare for war once more….

27 years of this new war have passed, and technology has once again begun to rise to the forefront. A New weapon, a new means with which to destroy all opposition has been found and entire nations would do battle to grasp it. That weapon is Bracken…

Hi

I have uploaded two concept art pieces to the gallery. Both these pieces are in early stages of development and are not representations of the final character.

We are also working on a new website for Bracken, so stay tuned for that.

Cheers.

wait wait.. lemme guess... Bracken is like the chosen one. One that fulfils a big prophecy. If it is then I'm going to stop watching this mod. Though I think you guys have a better story...hopefully. Also I like how the finished concept of the Bracken unit will look like. That looks really cool and original. This mod is going to r0xor. I wish I could help somehow...

i suppose Bracken is some sort of genetically altered supersoldier type, that is the weapon of choice between the 3 kingdoms?

Hi

Zenarion - we'll be posting more info on Bracken later on. But yes, you have the basic idea. Although it is slightly more complicated than that. =)
