Resilience: A Post-humanity Saga™

🌌 Resilience: Humanity Perfected, Hope WeaponizedResilience is a far-future, post-singularity campaign setting for Imagine That™ TTRPG, where humanity has not fallen to dystopia—but risen through it.Set across a colonized galaxy in the year 2553 CE, Resilience chronicles the journey of a species that faced extinction, chaos, and corruption… and chose completion instead. Fusing advanced AI governance, genetic augmentation, and quantum infrastructure, Earth’s descendants no longer merely survive—they flourish. Poverty is gone. War is obsolete. Crime is a fossil. And yet, threats remain.Alien empires rise in the dark. Viral intelligences corrupt flesh and memory. Outcast human factions cling to old violence like a birthright. In this universe, utopia is not fragile—it is earned, guarded, and tested.You will walk among Paladins, Paragons, and Dark Knights—elite operatives wielding fusion-blade weaponry, psychic defenses, and AI-linked reflexes. You will command towering Chariot mechs, pilot orbital Citadel-ships, and explore ancient alien swamps where the last war drums of chaos still echo. You may serve the planetary AIs known as the DEITY Network, or reject their guidance entirely.This is not a story of collapse.
This is the story of Resilience.

The Timeline

Resilience TimelineEra I: The Collapse of Trust (2024–2029)
WWIII and the Fall of the Old Guard
November 5, 2024 – The American Fracture Begins
Kamala Harris loses the U.S. presidential election to J.D. Vance, Trump’s chosen successor. The loss comes amid record voter suppression lawsuits, digital interference investigations, and a disillusioned Democratic base. Progressives and moderates both erupt in protest, but the courts stand by the results. Many see this as the moment the world order begins to crack.
December 18, 2024 – Casus Belli
Russian forces shoot down three U.S. fighter jets providing air support to Ukrainian forces near Luhansk. Simultaneously, North Korea test-fires intermediate-range missiles that crash into Japanese waters. President Biden responds with a formal Declaration of War against both Russia and North Korea—without waiting for Congressional approval, invoking emergency executive authority.
January 2, 2025 – A War of Four Fronts
With U.S. forces focused on Europe and the Korean Peninsula, China launches a full military campaign to absorb Taiwan, coordinating simultaneous air, naval, and cyber attacks. The Taiwan Strait becomes the most hotly contested war zone on the planet. Japan, South Korea, Australia, and the Philippines rally to the U.S.-led Pacific defense.
March 2025 – Operation Ash Light
North Korea attempts to use tactical nuclear weapons to decapitate South Korean command centers, but is thwarted by a joint U.S.-South Korean first-strike interdiction program. Elite hacker units neutralize NK command signals, while American THAAD batteries knock out inbound missiles. Kim Jong Un disappears from public view.
May–August 2025 – The Great Split Begins
With China bogged down in Taiwan and hit with cascading global sanctions, internal fractures deepen. Taiwan declares formal independence, triggering international uproar but gaining covert recognition from the West. Tibet and Hong Kong both issue unilateral declarations of autonomy. In Hunan, a powerful faction of technocrats seizes control, launching what will soon become a regional revolution in advanced cybernetics, manufacturing, and AI.
October 2025 – The Treason Dossier Leaks
Anonymous whistleblowers leak files implicating former President Trump in behind-the-scenes intelligence sharing with Russia, obstruction of Ukraine-related military aid, and coercive diplomacy targeting NATO unity. Journalists and intelligence officers begin what will become a two-year criminal investigation.
March 2026 – Strategic Humiliation
A GOP-majority Congress attempts to shield Trump from inquiry, but overwhelming global and national pressure leads to bipartisan defections. Democratic victories in the midterm elections of 2026 restore congressional oversight and halt MAGA efforts to extend the presidential term limits.
August 2027 – Trump’s Final Impeachment
For the third time in U.S. history, Trump is impeached, this time for high treason and subversion of U.S. foreign policy. The Senate, however, fails to remove him from office due to a deadlocked vote. Despite this, public sentiment and international condemnation leave his power hollowed. The Attorney General refuses to prosecute, invoking executive privilege, drawing protests and resignations across the Department of Justice.
November 7, 2028 – The Reclamation
Kamala Harris defeats J.D. Vance in a volatile and emotionally charged election. Record voter turnout, widespread support from younger and urban demographics, and the resurgence of the Democratic machine across the Rust Belt and West Coast mark a dramatic reversal of MAGA momentum. Trump's influence begins to wane as criminal charges loom.
January 20, 2029 – A Gamble on the Overlooked
Kamala Harris is sworn in as President of the United States. Within weeks, she begins pivoting American foreign policy toward Africa, calling U.S. neglect of the continent a “strategic, moral, and economic failure.” In an unprecedented move, she pledges air and naval support to a secular, American-educated democratic movement in Ghana aimed at eliminating jihadist strongholds and building democratic institutions.
March–October 2029 – Sparks of the Doctrine Wars
Harris’ actions in Ghana provoke international outrage from hardline theocracies and authoritarian powers. China, still smarting from its fractured influence and Taiwan’s independence, begins funding regional insurgencies in retaliation. Conservative American media brands Harris’s strategy as "imperial overreach" and "anti-Christian adventurism." But as terrorist networks are shattered in Ghana and democratic reforms gain a foothold, the Doctrine Wars quietly begin—a sprawling global struggle over secularism, agency, and ideological dominance.
