In 1939 history - as we know it - changed. After a daring exploit into the future, Baron Von Falkenberg returned to this time bearing the gift of a physics breakthrough - the zero field effect - which Nazi scientists were able to exploit to arm their troopers with anti-gravity jetpacks.

As the world sank into war, Hitler's forces made a rapid offensive across Europe led by his Flying Fortresses and Jet Troopers, the United States remained embroiled with its own problems and looking for more radical solutions (enter President Peeley and the Unionist Party, supported by the Silver Shirts Movement).

Caught between the Asian attacks in the Pacific and through Canada, and growing domestic problems, Peeley took drastic measures, only to be met with all-but-open revolt (various renegade army units started to stake regions of control). Hiss response was to call in help from the European Axis. By the end of 1952 the resistance was considered crushed, Canada had become a protectorate of America, and history was being rewritten in the schools of the Unification War. Several cities were devastated by Zeta Bombings, and these along with the general fallen conditions led to the nation being rebuilt with Axis aid. Amerika soon became a major partner and the Axis was extended to officially include it.

A primary figure in the American restructuring was Field Marshal Von Falkenberg who led troops in the field and continued on as a presidential aide. He was instrumental in establishing the Exceptional Powers Act which recognized the uniquness of metahumans, meeting their needs with state-sponsored training, and giving legal enforment powers to those so gifted. The first academy dedicated to the training and recruitment of metahumans still bears his name. Ironically enough, the number of metahumans is not as high in Amerika (many of them being wiped out during the various insurrections' and purges).

Falkenberg's studies in eugenics continued on in the Genefiles Administration, declared to be for the purpose of improving the human condition but covertly used for tracing out positive metahuman strains and elimination of untouchables. The racial profiling still goes on as part of the rigid class stratification that has become dominant in the Western nations.

Son of the Berlin Ambassador, Jack F. Kennedy Jr. became a martyr to the revolution in his famous "I am not a Berliner" speech. He met his end after attempting to assasinate Governer Lee Oswald, but his words continued to inspire and became catchphrases of the Spirit of '76 uprisings, which were met with a quick and deadly response. The Cold War with the Asiatic Prosperity Sphere continued so the primary plan was directed at what remained of the Middle East. Up to that time those states had been controlled territory but once the World Axis was finished, there was nothing left to control.

Into this timeline (in June, 2001) arrived the Knights of the Coast, desperate to prevent the original exploit that gave rise to this reality...
