// Foreword: This is a thread that will serve as a comprehensive, full-suite overview of the Uprising, including active, dynamic trackers as we begin to step more into accommodating for the ability of players themselves to affect the outcomes of battles and control throughout the city, particularly through the control and hold of specified points that will be designated throughout this map. In this thread, you will find the current direction of the conflict, a tracker for control over points that can be found on our current map, and a tracker for overall control over the Precincts of City 13. Control over precincts formerly won by factions before this system's conception should be considered disputed.
As Earth prepares for its turn into the new year, the normally cold, quiet winters have been supplanted with the fiery embers of conflict on a scale not seen since the 7 Hour War. In Europe, the destabilization of City 13 and the deafening silence of the Global Administrator has created waves of turmoil far beyond the reaches of their own city. What was once a continent that could be compared to that of a black, starless night illuminated solely by a distant moon has exploded into colorful fields of stars, some coalescing with others, some staking their own spots in the sky alone, but all vying for their own supremacy in their grand luminance.
In several cities, representatives of the Global Administration have taken their side in the conflict and allowed themselves to be subsumed to the totalitarian will of Overwatch and the Sector Commander in whole cooperation with what they perceive to be either the true arm of the Combine, or simply the side which they would rather not risk being the losing subjects to in the wake of the Sector Commander's declaration against the Global Administration in the form that it had existed in.
In direct opposition to this is the forces of the United Nations, composed largely of the bloated, authoritarian political and military bodies of UNECA, with leadership found in its rejuvenated and reformed United Nations Security Council, a coalition of Citadel representatives and members of the Global Administration who either truly believe its service in Breen's will or as an effort to wrest control back into the hands of a traditional global government to administrate over Earth in its status quo collaboration.
Between these two, however, are the forces of the global resistance who have taken action in the chaos in the name of overthrowing their former oppressors. In several cases, as well, many other Administrators and figures of authority alike have come to use the global confusion to seize their own perceived kingdoms from Overwatch and the grasp of global authority, tearing down the Combine's banners in place of their own colors and symbols of their cities.
City 17, the known capital of the global order, remains in blackout without the guidance of Breen. The trains to and from Nova Prospekt continue to make their trips, but the routes used now cross directly into active warzones, pseudo-fiefdoms, and a wasteland no longer granted the luxury of the security of UNECA's conscript forces, making consistent trips less and less of an assurance with each day that passes.
In City 13, lines have been drawn, and trenches dug, becoming one of the focal points of the greater conflict which has consumed the world beyond. The Civil Authority, led and backed by the recently ascended Division Leader 60036 and Sector Commander 58572, with their added installation of the Administration of Laura Sorvad, actively wages in open conflict against the forces of the resistance and the Yamazaki Consulate, the latter of which has come to embed itself with the United Nations' coalition. From this, several webs of plotting and conflict have emerged as the city continues to spiral out of control, with the forces of the resistance caught between the ire of two formidable, militaristic foes. Night hardly sets on City 13 anymore, as the freezing darkness seems to always be fighting with the eternal blazes that now permeate throughout the city.
