Twilight’s last season showed Americans snippets of the outside world along with the fighting in Detroit. They showed us glimpses of a peaceful Tehran after the Persian Revolution, and Israeli flags over Syria. We saw the newly renamed Constantinople looking out over the remnants of Greece and Turkey. And we saw the war still going on in North Africa. The Islamic State of Detroit stood nearly alone in a world where the other Islamic States had already been brought low by internal rebellion or foreign armies. The Jihad would continue to go on for decades, but Twilight showed us how the last of the Islamic States died.

We saw the effects of my plan in the Hyades. All of my Cowboys soon began to wear business suits as their new uniform, and everywhere we went we sought to bring stability. It did not always work of course. Not every local population were interested in listening to foreign devils. And once the Chinese realized what we were doing we became high profile targets. But that helped us in other ways. Few things impress a crowd like taking a shot that would kill a normal person and then standing back up. The Chinese may have legends about Immortals, but few things get their attention so well as showing that you are one in the present.

There are hundreds of small Indian Nations scattered all over America, but most of them aren’t full-fledged States. Statehood requires a big population and a unified government to declare it. And most Indian Nations have never been that big. One village, town, or city just doesn’t have a lot of pull when you are talking to a nation that crosses an entire continent. That is why they formed the Federation of First Nations during the chaos of the Second Great Depression. It gave them a single voice and helped to pool their resources towards reinvigorating all of the Indian Nations following the fall of the federal government.

The last season of Twilight showed us a Muslim faith that was divided by competing loyalties. There was the old Sunni and Shia split of course. And there were those who supported hard-line Sharia Laws and those who wanted the freedoms of Western culture. And some like the Salafis enforced Islamic rule on other peoples. The most fanatical Islamic States burned people of every faith out of their homes, and millions of refugees fled in hopes of finding freedom in the West. And in all of the chaos they did find hope. We saw it in Detroit.

First Fleet defended Earth. Second Fleet defended Alpha Centauri. Third Fleet was our chance to strike back, to take The War to the Chinese, the Russians, and their alien allies. It was the largest and most powerful fleet we had ever assembled. We would use it to end all of the fighting in one swift campaign that would tear a line of destruction across the stars and prove that the Western Alliance still stood strong. Nothing could defeat it. That is what we told ourselves. That is what we believed. The alien Shang were not convinced…
