Kaleth started out as a large group of almost, city-states, working autonomously. Safe Haven as it was named, had become the largest and most populace of cities, it also was ahead in technology compared to all the other city-states. The number of cities would of course expand as years pass and the city-states were peaceful towards each other.
Then in 2347 when the jump bridge was destroyed, things spiraled down. The jump bridge was located in Safe Haven and no one knew who had destroyed it, the cities now looked at each other with un-trusting eyes as their intelligence divisions worked hard to find out who would do such a thing. During all this and unbeknownst to others the second largest city, known as Rossport had been pulling all the strings to make Safe Haven look like the perpetrators, turning many City-States against Save Haven, war was now looming in the horizon with a select few city-states believing Safe Haven had done nothing wrong.
The war would erupt one year later with the combined forces of Rossport and it's allies, known as the Rossport Commonwealth would invade Safe Haven, starting a vicious street-to-street battle. The now allies of Safe Haven, who had called themselves the Allied Cities of Safe Haven, launched a quick counter-strike led by the ferocious Marines of Coretion. The Marines of Coretion were known to be some of the best soldiers on Kaleth, and armed to the teeth. There arrival into Save Haven had almost shocked the forces of the Rossport Commonwealth who had not expected such a vicious counter-attack and so quickly. They would slowly but surely be pushed out of Save Haven, both sides taking large amounts of casualties.
The Rossport Commonwealth was now in a full rout, and the Allies continued to push straight for Rossport to end the war fast before even more damage could be done. The push would stop at the borders of Rossport, where the Commonwealth had hunkered down, waiting for the Allies to push straight into Rossport.
The Allies, knew that the final push into Rossport would be the toughest and most brutal part of the fighting since Safe Haven a few years ago. The Allies decided to go for a different, more...long term idea. They laid siege to the city, using artillery and bombers to ground-pound the city. Another month later the Allies would finally push into Rossport, igniting the second most costly battle. The fighting would escalate to the point of usage of one tactical nuke on Rossport in hopes of forcing them to surrender. It worked, but the price was devastating.
The end of the war would signify the rebuilding period for the people of Kaleth. With the people in strong belief that Rossport had possibly destroyed the jump bridge to gather strength and unify the planet under their brutal reign, by stomping out Safe Haven. The casualties were expected to be in the millions, with Safe Haven and Rossport experiencing the most civilian casualties. The cities themselves suffered tremendous damage. Rossport was nothing more but a smoking ruin of what it once was, a testimony to the horrors of war and why the city-states should possibly come together as one unified body. Safe Haven would take about 50 years, 2397 to be fully rebuilt to it's former glory, and even more to rebuild it's population. It was decided in 2400 that the cities would now unite under one banner known as the Allied Cities of Kaleth, after the alliance that held together Safe Haven and it's allies. Safe Haven would be declared capital of Kaleth.
Fast foward to the year 2437. The newly elected President, John Hudson gives his election speech, and takes his place in the government building located in Safe Haven, to lead his people to glory, or their certain death....
