   Two years ago, the meteor was stopped by the planets lifestream, however soon people started to fall ill by Geostigma. The Movie takes place mainly in Midgar however many other places are also shown.
   
   
8. What is Geostigma/Star Scar Syndrome?
   Geostigma is the Amarican name for the Star scar syndrome. They say that the people of Gaia was inflicted by this as a side effect to Holy, but in my personal oppinion, sounds more like a side effect of the Lifestream, considering the words of Bugenhagen when he said that the planet decides what is evil and destroy's it, and if humans was branded evil was only left to be seen.
