Space Pioneering Era

In 2316, humans discovered the extraterrestrial habitable planet "Aida".

In 2339, the spacecraft Yuanwang departed from Earth and headed for the unknown deep space.

In 2547, the first humans successfully arrived at "Aida".

Interstellar Colonization Plan

The first colonists established settlements, and the government adopted a federal system. At that time, the city was booming with high-rise buildings.

In 2653, the Old Federation discovered the comet “Mara” and their researchers noticed it contained a new energy source, “Omnium”, far beyond the current level of understanding. For further study, the Old Federation decided to capture Mara to harvest Omnium by launching “Project Prism” to solve the energy crisis, which consisted of building a “Tower of Fantasy”.

In 2657, the Tower of Fantasy #7 and the Mirror Capitol were successfully constructed.

In 2659, humans finished building a series of huge tower-shaped energy channeling devices to capture Mara and fix it to the orbit of Aida. Such a huge device is called a Tower of Fantasy. It is the only way humans harness stable Omnium from Mara.

In 2661, the Storage Cistern IV for Omnium was produced, which can be used to stabilize the Omnium.

The leakage of the Omnium has caused the local ecology to mutate.

Five years later, at 4:47 pm on January 19th 2664, the central Omnium reactor in the Tower of Fantasy exploded, releasing a massive amount of radioactive material into the atmosphere and subsequently spreading to the world through the air, triggering a global disaster, wiping out roughly 80% of the planet’s population. Aidans used to describe the Cataclysm as the Omnium Plague.

In the decades after the Great Cataclysm, the Tower of Fantasy #7 was rebuilt and expanded many times. The repair work continued until 2678, and its function has not been restored so far. There are preset residential areas, scientific research areas, industrial areas and storage areas.

In 2667, because the surface of Vera wasn't habitable anymore, about 90,000 survivors were accommodated in Mirror Capitol, and management regulations were issued at the same time. In 2668, the second city plan was officially implemented, and the early construction was completed. 20,000 Tower of Fantasy residents began to move, and it is still expanding today.

Cataclysm

In 2665, in order to cope with the cataclysm, the surviving scientific researchers established "Hykros". There is also some information showing that Hykros was established before the cataclysm.

On June 17th 2665, Dr. Barekov takes over the “Butterfly Engraving” project from Dr. Nathan, resuming it on June 22nd. Dr. Barekov conducted a series of secret experiments about biological mutations to give birth to the Aberrant Franken.

On July 13th a spiral structure was found in the images of a subject's brain, but it wasn't certain whether this was triggered by the butterfly reagent.

On September 24th several subjects were put under high Omnium radiation, finding out the cell production rate had increased significantly.

On December 12nd 2665, it was tested if performing extraction and injection of the consciousness was possible using a symbiont as the new body. The symbiont showed minor responses to the Omnium radiation, whereas the person continued to show violent convulsions. After the transferring process, consciousness was detected in the symbiont for some minutes, for then disappearing.

In 2666, Vulkan was born. Aberration tests were carried out with a live cat, named Apophis , but ultimately failed.

In 2667, Dr. Vasika and Dr. Chereh, after two failures, jointly developed the “Suppressor scheme version 3” against Omnium radiation using living organisms as test subjects. The experimental group used a living person named Julliard to inject G-67 virus to test whether the suppressor was effective and finally succeeded, creating Aberrant Seraphim.

In 2668, the "suppressor" was successfully developed. By wearing this micro-device, Aida humans gained the ability to radiate antigen energy.

Under the leadership of Dr. Claire, Hykros attempted to use Omnium’s time-affecting properties to conduct a large-scale time retracement. Specifically, returning the whole spacetime continuum back to a “certain point. They repeatedly tried time-travel more than 3,000 times, and it continues to this day.

In 2670, the first SP-77 suit passed the test and set foot on Vera again.

Construction began in 2681, with the intention of restarting research such as the time-space engine project.

In 2689, in order to solve the problem of population expansion and resources, Wei Na, the then-executive officer, started the "Environmental Transformation Program" to restore the ecology so that the resettlement measures could be carried out smoothly. In the same year, the anti-gravity engine was put into service.

In 2695, the Environmental Improvement Program achieved results, and some residents of the Tower of Fantasy moved out.

In 2698, Wei Na stepped down as executive officer due to health reasons, and was handed over to Qingxin to succeed.

In 2671, "Heirs of Aida" was established by Sage and Zeke's father. This organization believes Hykros uses the suppressors to control people and it has the objective to expose their greed. To them, Omnium is the root of all problems, and the only way to solve it is to sever Omnium entirely from humanity.

Half a year ago

In 2712, two Hykros Executors were ambushed by Sage while on a mission and one of them was hunted down by the Aberrant hound "Barbarossa". During their escape, the suppressor was damaged and they fell into a coma, allowing Frigg to capture them with her team and take them to Sage, who implanted a virus in their suppressors.
