January 20-February 5- The USSR declares war on the United States. ImPorts are kidnapped and trapped in a submarine off the coast of Antarctica, surrounded by nullifiers, Soviet soliders and LACKEY, the Soviet AI.
January 26- ImPort diplomats are sent to France, Mexico and South Korea for international aid. They are broadly successful, particularly in Mexico. Mexico agrees to harbour imPorts for their own safety.
January 29 - After help from many imPorts in charge of reconnaissance and information gathering, the imPorts rescue their kidnapped comrades and return home.
February 15 - The Russian Coup begins! They take over imPort cities and isolate them, and enforce seminars in which imPorts are forcibly brainwashed. Thanks to RISE and a coalition of spies, imPorts begin to plan retaliation immediately.
February 29 - The Occupation ends, thanks to both imPorts fighting and American troops finally pushing through the Soviet soldiers. Debrecen was bombed in retaliation to the USSR's actions. LACKEY is recovered by the American government.
March 12 - ImPorts with an integral role in fending off Soviet troops are offered medals in a grand, televised ceremony. Multiple imPorts refuse on the grounds of America's attack on Debrecen.
May 21-22 - At a Swear-In hosted by DARPA, imPorts are given free imPocreats, machines meant for entertainment and companionship.
July 20 - ImPorts receive a free trip to Philadelphia for a ceremony to honour new imPort Ambassadors. At this ceremony, they are attacked by imPocreats - AI creatures containing both technology and flesh - and these creatures create quakes throughout the cities. They are stopped through imPort intervention. Quickly afterwards, DARPA experiences mass lay-offs.
September 12 - Thanks to Superior Iron Man - a version of Tony Stark - citizens are unknowingly granted superpowers of flight, super-speed, enhanced reflexes or fire-breathing.
September 23-25 - ImPorts are tasked with both fighting metahumans who have chosen to use their new powers for ill and Extremis' robotic offshoots. Eventually, SIM is defeated, but the metahumans remain a core component of America's population.
