Terra Major Megathesius Ordorus was the name given to a project most commonly known as The city of Terra, or Terra. In 2034 the earth was on its last legs, the foundation of society was crumbling. The Government of the Continental union teamed with the European Federation to fund the sole surviving settlement, Terra, in the isolated prairies of Nebraska. Towns were demolished, a giant dome was constructed and a deep abyss was surrounding the soon to be city. On November 1st 2054 the construction ended, the cravassee was filled with the purest, salt water left on the decaying planet. The people entered, and the airlock was sealed.
