And boy was that a 'dumb' move, because he was leaving his fellow gears to defend with out him. Marcus abandons his post to go to his father. A scientist known as Adam Fenix, contacts his son, Marcus, to tell him he has something of great importance to give the COG.

The people who didn't like the ways of the COG became known as the Stranded. A lot of the Locust were killed, right along with millions of civilians who couldn't evacuate before they started the Hammer of Dawn. Evacuating as much of humanity as possible to the Jacinto Plateau and the city of Ephyra, the COG decided to use a weapon called The Hammer of Dawn. After a year of brutal fighting, the COG gets desperate and decides to burn up most of Sera to get rid of the Locust. But when the Locust came a quarter of all human life was dead on day one.

Called this Emergence Day, The Locust comes from the Hollows which are massive tunnels under the surface of Sera which are made by something we learn about in the second game. After those 79 long years a new disaster takes to the planet called the Locust which were massive, snarling, vicious creatures that shoot first and ask questions later. Which lasted a few years, After the Pendulum Wars humanity gets a 79-year break. The conflict they fought becomes known as the Pendulum War. One half becomes the Coalition of Ordered Governments, or COG for short, and the other half becomes the Union of Independent Republics. Imulsion looked like clean energy on the surface which was what humanity needed at that time, but the nations that were not able to get the Imulsion were being slowly iced out of existence from the nations with it, now that that happened a crucial split happens.

Sera managed to get itself into a nasty war of resources after they discovered Imulsion. Sera is a lovely little planet with its own version of our history. The article I wanted to make for this topic is about a game called Gears of War, which in fact does not take place on Earth but a planet similar to it called Sera.
