The Great Burn was the name given to the terrible war that consumed much of the Earth as a result of the Second Earth Alliance Civil War. Most of the major settlements were destroyed in the conflict (which may or may not have included nuclear weapons). The civil war caused this great devastation when the Prole Sector attacked the Politdivision Central, sometime after 2761.
As a result of the Great Burn, Earth was reduced to a pre-industrial state, similar to that of the Dark Ages, with much of its population becoming technophobes. However, stories and records of individuals like "Blessed Sheridan" and Lorien remained in the form of myths and prophecies. The Anla'shok infiltrated Earth's religious orders in order to slowly reintroduce technology and take humanity back to the stars, eventually succeeding. [1]
