AlteranCraft

The story of AlteranCraft starts in 1979, twenty-five years after the European Center for Nuclear Research (CERN) was founded. While the majority of CERN research is made public for the benefit of all humankind, CERN has a secret twin whose roots date back to just before the end of the second world war.

While publicly the allied forces were confident of their defeat over the axis powers, contingency plans were drawn up centred around the theoretical existence of parallel worlds. It turns out they aren't theoretical, but very real. And, in 1979, their existence was proven through the accidental activation of a portal, even older than the project itself. Perhaps thousands of years older, perhaps dating back to the formation (or shall we say, placement, of Earth itself). Portal activation only lasted mere seconds, given the enormous power requirements to sustain such a connection, but this achievement gave our story's main antagonists all the encouragement they needed to ensure the project's success.

The Alteran (Alt, Alternative. Teran, Terran; an ancient name for Sol III “Earth”) Corporation was formed to contain the multinational appetite for exploiting what is on the other side of this portal. You, player, join this story at the very beginning.
