Great Transnational Famine (Square One)

The Great Transnational Famine was a worldwide famine that killed millions on a global scale. Caused by lower sunlight levels due to the impact of 2024 DS14, it is estimated that between 16.3-21.8 million people were killed, mostly located in Africa and China. The Norwegian Refugee Council decried it as "the worst disaster in human history", and the Great Transnational Famine is often blamed for the end of international trade and the Great Collapse.

The majority of the deaths occurred between 2028-2032, and conditions were worsened by the Great Collapse. Lack of fresh water in some areas, refugee and migrant crises, and the collapse of the global economy also contributed.
