Anchorage, Alaska was completely destroyed on June 15, 2099, by a powerful planet-killer laser weapon that vaporized the entire city in a matter of seconds. The attack, which killed an estimated 300,000 people, has major geopolitical and military implications, crippling Alaska's infrastructure and cutting off vital supply lines and defenses for the US military in the Arctic region. The sheer scale and precision of the attack suggest an advanced level of technological capability, leading to fears that more such weapons may exist and could be deployed at any time, ushering in a new and terrifying era of apocalyptic weapons.

The destruction of Anchorage has shaken the foundations of global security, and the US government has vowed to hunt down those responsible and deploy all necessary resources to defend the homeland. However, the seeming invulnerability of the planet-killer technology has left the world on high alert, and the psychological and economic toll of the attack will be felt for decades to come.
