20 years ago, in 18869, Steampunk was at it's peak. Unfortunately, so were those bally old pirates. They Raided, Fought and eventually drove the British Army to the peak of insanity. Those were dark times, so bad it was known as the Darker Ages.

Then, out of the blue horizon, a pirate came into the port of Aglonica City. He was quickly taken to the mayor, where he had asked for a pardon and was given one. He was Allan Coppershoe, known for a specially designed ship made entirely of rust resistant copper known as The Copper Whale.

It turned out that he was a soldier who was spying on the pirates to learn their technology and how to beat it. It was simple: a special substance long forgotten to humanity: Plastic. He was the one who invented the Ion-Plastic cannon.

He quickly led an army to defeat the pirates, using these new cannons. His most famous battle was The Battle of England, in 18870.

"As he was standing on the bow of the Copper Whale, he sighted the enemy flagship, Fallen Falcon. He took out a small capsule from his belt, and punched in a little code. It suddenly grew into a 5 ft long sword in his hands. He Gave it a twirl, pointed it up in the air, and yelled For Briton! and bombarded the enemy flagship."

His victory was the turning point of Civilization, and Briton became known as the Trade Federation.

Matt was an average gamer. He had a Steamtel grade processor with 42 gigs of ram. He played games such as SteamPhysics and Clockmaker. He loved physics, steam and clockworks. He also had a lust for new technology.

Mark was an amateur architect and engineer, and wanted to improve the design of airships. He didn't like the angle, squareness and ugliness of the Mark I airships.

Matt and Mark met in a club at Windmark University and were friends from the start. They started meeting at each other's houses and talking about science and their classes. They decided, that they're goal was to improve the speed, beauty, form, and overall technology of the airships of the Steampunk World. They looked at old designs from the Previous Era showing different types of structures that they built.

Matt was the one who invented the Mark II Thruster class seen on todays airships. He used a black heat resistant plastic and hydrogen fuel. When he put these on his airship, the A.S. Uncharted, he quickly found that these made travel through air quick and easy.

Mark completely scrapped the old airship designs people knew then and started from scratch. He designed different classes of airship, such as the Heavy Cargo Freighter and the Achilles class warship. He finally instructed a few friends of his on building the first Mark II airship built today, usind Mark's thrusters, known as the A.S. Bullet.
He also redesigned and built Mark's A.S. Uncharted.

This duo was the founder of everything Trade Federation and Airship known today. Matt became a physics professor at Windmark University, and Mark became an engineer working for the Lord and Lady.

John Hancock was an engineer working for Smoke Industries. He was paid medium wage and worked as a director of Social Contacts. Inside, he had a brilliant mind. He stayed up for long periods of time researching about Thomas Edison, Albert Einstein, Stuart Zalcoff, and other people who have made advances in technology using wires. He thought a lot about how sound, light and video could easily be transported across wires. And if mass was just another kind of energy, than why couldn't it be moved over cables?

In 15878, he created the very first steam powered teleporter. It consisted of two departiclizers, top and bottom, and many cables going to a central radio pole. The mass was converted into energy and moved to the other teleporter via radio, and then reconstructed.

The only problem was, the radio signals were picked up by airship radios.

Once, in the non-industrialized land of Old England, there lived an alchemist. His name was <ER0rr 404: PagE NOT foUnd> and he was a brilliant man. He had always dreamed of islands and airships and inventions far fetched in the future (He could see the future, you know) He wanted to be the man to create all of this.
One day, he was working in his laboratory, and he stumbled across one of his old inventions. A Quantum-Ion Shield generator that had been abandoned after the considerable uncomfortability it had. He was bored, so he hooked it up to his Ion Electrical Generator, and the two Ionic devices so close to each other working at the same electricity, the two machines collided and exploded, and created the largest, thinnest, easiest-to-go-past shield ever before created. It's gravity was strange: If you were touching something else, you would fall. If not,you would float. It enveloped Old London, and the gravity abnormality caused it to shatter london into fragments, Floating Islands. Finally, (in a way much unexpectedly) <ER0rr 404: PagE NOT foUnd> had achieved his main goal. After that, he preserved himself in a mash of crystals, and watched over the newly renamed Anglonica City in a tower of strange architecture.
