History
After the discovery of minerals in the Old World, the United States Department of Defense immediately took action to control these materials. They created a specialized department dedicated to researching the properties of minerals: the Department of Research on the Applications of Minerals, or DRAM. This agency is responsible for the innovation of technology through the integration of minerals as alternate energy sources.

DRAM had sent in teams to scout out the New World for minerals, but encountered fierce opposition. For the safety of the general public, the executive decision to close rifts was put into action. DRAM selected a few specific rifts to remain as controlled and heavily monitored ports of entry to the New World. These mainly served as extraction points for minerals, rather than for recreation or tourism. A noteworthy example is the rift near Tokyo, which supplied the city a bounty of crystals to use in their advancement. Even though not all rifts were sealed, very few still linger in the Old World.
