the lore of Federation: the US had deployed the Orbital Defense Initiative (ODIN) as its ultimate deterrent against any foreign attack, seemingly securing its safety against further Federation aggression. The Federation countered this weapon on July 10th, 2017, by smuggling a strike team in a routine supply shuttle to ODIN's command station, which then hijacked ODIN and turned the weapon against its makers. While surviving US personnel aboard the command station managed to scuttle it before all of ODIN's projectiles could be fired, the US south and southwest were decimated, most notably Southern California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and Louisiana. The Federation immediately followed their surprise attack on ODIN with a massive land invasion. the Fanon of Federation: fed-chan.
