Research Project 227

Research Project 227 is the name given to the top secret experimental project that occurred on the surface of the Moon sometime during 2001. It is this event in particular that sets in motion the events of the Reclamation Universe.

Very little is known about this particular event and most of what is common knowledge lacks any hard evidence or meaningful consistency. All that is known is that a particular group of researchers operating on a small outpost on the surface of the Moon had been engaging in experimental research for quite some time. It is unknown which nation these particular researchers originated from although some speculate that they were either  American or Russian researchers. Around May of 2001, Humans on Earth began to notice consistent yellow flashes that would occur around the same time every night it originated from the surface of the Moon. This in itself generated a great deal of conspiracy and widespread attention that government officials were not prepared to handle. It has been speculated that when the flashes of yellow light ceased towards the end of the month, contact with the researchers was forever lost. From this point it would only be a matter of weeks until the Denouement Crisis would occur.

Separating fact from speculation regarding this event has proven to be difficult and much of what is known is the result of  scattered government documents that may or may not have been generated to skew public opinion for cover the actual truth. Popular rumors about the experiment suggest that the researchers involved were not even human or even that the researchers themselves knew of what they were awakening as far as the true existence behind the Moon. It is also reasonably presume that those involved with the project are all deceased  although there are some that consider this to even be out for speculation.
