Earth.

The end of the 20th Century saw the rise of superheroes, which in turn were the harbingers of a golden age of humanity.

At the dawn of the 21st Century, alien races made themselves known on Earth, having secretly had a hand in humanity's technological advances for more than a hundred years. New Orleans rose, a modern-day Atlantis. Scientific achievement exploded, bringing about cures for diseases of the body, mind, and spirit. Earth's people worked as one, hand-in-hand with the aliens toward these endeavors until the entirety of the solar system was within the grasp of a Unified Earth.

Then the true intentions of the alien races were made known. A galactic oligarchy working behind the scenes for countless years, the Ravok-Dyn, arrived in ships the size of nations to claim Earth as their own. Earth's super-powered warred against the Ravok-Dyn, culminating in the Pacific Ocean disappearing into a star-filled abyss of folded space. An event that the surviving inhabitants of Earth have since referred to as The Shift.

And the world fell.

But the people did not.
