The advent of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI or Aggie) in the 23rd Century led to a “Golden Age” for Earth as the Earth's governments contracted with the Aggies to manage the ever growing cities (known as tower complexes).
This arrangement worked until the 26th Century when a break-away faction of Aggies (eventually called Beleni or The Shining Ones) attacked those Aggies left on Earth. The resulting Aggie Wars caused damage to the tower complexes and loss of life. The meta-verse, a virtual world in which billions of virtual citizens lived, built and maintained by the Earth Aggies was almost completely lost. The outcry from the survivors of this war caused the Earth's governments to sever their relationships with the Aggies. The Earth Aggies disappeared into space.
Without Aggie management the Earth fell into a Dark Age while governments floundered. The distress was to last for a hundred years until the Aggies returned . . .
