Well as the story goes we are in the.. cant remember what umbral number era it is. They said this story-line can only be experience now.. after 2.0 no one else can. Main story is the empires threat. Im thinking this Meteor will backfire on them and wipe most of them out... thus ending the threat and starting a new story-line. There will still be remnants of them left as well as bases and outposts.. but no major city or threat left.
