Anyone have any theories as to what may have happened between the battle story and Zoids Genesis? I have one possible scenario...
* The Age of the Fall *
ZAC 2380: After many years of rapid financial growth driven by greed, the trade and enterprise system collapses under it's own weight. Money value dives, credit is abolished, unemployment skyrockets, and barter systems come into play for survival. Border and resource conflicts are extremely violent and destructive in wide area.
ZAC 2381: All zoidcores are cultivated for mass potential. Long thought extinct zoids are recovered and reproduced. Weapons of mass destruction such as particle cannons are utilized without thought for future consequence. Large electrical storms from energy weapons fallout decimate atmosphere and property, as well as reacting to the high metal content of the landscape. Many territories are wastelands, creating more conflict for intact vegetation. City-states and castles are fortified with high walls and/or placed in mountain summits. The wars could potentially bring about devastation of civilization planet-wide.
ZAC 2397: The Zi arms incident occurs. Zi Arms, in a desperate attempt to avoid financial collapse in the failed economy, seeks to merge hyper energy particle technologies in a deep underground lab somewhere near the base of the western continent’s southwest peninsula. A massive overload detonates the fully charged weapon. The resulting several thousand megaton explosion shifts the tectonic plate beneath the western continent. Land masses across Zi are upheaved, the western continent is broken into three, oceans instantly change currents and coverage, and millions of zoids, foliage, and people are obliterated. An emergency launch of an intercontinental gravity missile from the Guylos Empire’s defensive base creates a ‘black hole’ singularity in the middle of the expanding gas cloud, stemming off the extinction of all life on Zi.
ZAC 2411: Land masses settle into new locations permanently. The planet’s climate has been altered to be an average of 5 degrees colder year round. The survivors of Zi, now only numbering a few hundred thousand, recover under constant seismic threat and limited resources. There is fear of yet further catastrophe. The newly formed eight continents are run by merger governments and wealthy clans. Zi is divided into nine major governing bodies and several mercenary clans:
*The Helic Republic, the largest government comprised mostly from the restructuring of the old Helic Republic. It's large area and resources are credited to it's survival. It maintains the now smaller single central continent.
*The NeoZenebas Empire, built from the wealthy Zenebas House ancestry. This is the second largest government. It struggles to keep hold over the far western continent. The Protzen Knighthood and Eisen Dragoon forces are kept on retainers for added strength.
*The New Guylos Empire, the monarchy that survived due to it's experience in government instability and collapse. It is still ruled by Guylos descendants in the now massive Nyx continent.
*The Conglomerate, a culmination of scientists and technology mongers brought together from abroad by common interests. It is located in the most remote peaks of eastern Nyx for secluded security.
*The Dark Armada, zealots of the ancient Nyx tribal ways that specialize in archaic physical and energy practices. Discovered long thought lost Deochalcum veins on the far western Nyx mountains. They are well protected now by the Godcry Wall, a steep jagged ridge towering over the new plains, and the Devil’s maze canyons.
*Zoitec, the corporation turned private empire with the deed to the north-eastern continent. Continued use of blox technology and a trade agreement with the Republic keep it in power.
*Dinas Empire, small warlord government dependent on Neo Blox technology to oppress all areas for control of the south-eastern continent. A newly formed NeoRepublic offshoot government fights to keep them from monopolizing the resources available in the new land.
*Biotechnics, a small family run corporation in the northern part of the wild mid-western continent with new biotechnical innovations in zoids. It utilizes trade agreements with the Conglomerate scientists to exert control through technological breakthroughs in zoids and weapons.
*Arcadia, a regal monarchy using trade with other governments and specialized agriculture to create a small paradise. Citizenship is highly sought after but hard to acquire without proper funding or bloodline.
ZAC 2412: King Gojulas and Gilvader zoids are unearthed due to massive quakes on Nyx. The zoids are quickly cultured into service once again. The threat of world-wide natural disasters only heightens the wars over resources in the new lands of Nyx and the southern continent. The continued use of terrain shattering weaponry only instigates further consequences. Seeing the possible domino effect, Conglomerate scientists now seek ways to leave the troubled lands of Zi for the skies…..
Planet Zi in the 25th Century…….the last era??
...I even created the map using landmasses from Genesis and Zoids /Zero series. I may have to scan that in here! ;D
