Info
Origin of Force Metal posted:
In the year 22XX, a meteor landed in the Pacific Ocean. Its fragments yielded Force Metal, a mysterious mineral that does not exist on Earth and which has the power to strengthen Reploids and amplify their intellect-pulses.
Building Giga City posted:
The government was intrigued by Force Metal potential, and built Giga City on the ocean near the meteor site for the explicit purpose of mining Force Metal. Soon R&D efforts were devoted toward creation of advanced Reploids that used Force Metal.
Turning Maverick posted:
Force Metal infusions amplified the intellect-pulses of Reploids and heightened their physical prowess. However, it was soon pointed out that over-amplification could become a burden and even lead to Maverick symptoms.
Birth of Epsilon posted:
Most of the trial models for advanced Force-Metal infused Reploids ended in failure. ”Epsilon” was a rare example of success - this Reploid boasted excellent physical prowess and heightened intelligence.
Epsilon's Uprising posted:
One day, Epsilon, after declaring himself Commander, announced the independence of Giga City. He banished all humans from the island, and demanded that the government recognize Giga City as an independent Reploid state.
The Task Force posted:
In response to the Epsilon Uprising, the government immediately formed the Task Force, with Colonel Redips at the helm. Under Redips' command, numerous agents were sent to Giga City.
But most agents who infiltrated Giga City were never heard from again. It is thought that some of these agents went Maverick and became Epsilon sympathizers.
Searching Giga City posted:
The data from later probe missions suggested that the Force Metal that exists across Giga City was causing Reploids to go Maverick.
For the next covert operation into Giga City, they needed high-performance Reploids that did not use Force Metal, so they chose X and Zero.
About Giga City posted:
Giga City is a man-made island built on the Pacific Ocean to mine Force Metal and carry out research and development on its properties and uses. The layout of Giga City consists of a collection of research facthies.
Lagrano Ruins posted:
The lighthouse-shaped building in the center of the island is what is left of a Reploid laboratory. When Epsilon went berserk, it was destroyed, and now only its ruins remain. Cut off from the rest of Giga City, these ruins are unknown to the main populace.
Central Tower posted:
This is the administrative sector of Giga City. From here, humans once oversaw the operations of the city. After the Uprising, Epsilon abandoned this sector, calling it "a symbol of human arrogance.”
Tianna Camp posted:
There are several abandoned plates which have been mined dry of their Force Metal. The largest abandoned plate is called the Lost Mine. In it, a giant drill still sits, pointing idly toward the depths of the sea. Inside the drill are the abandoned quarters of the laborers. Now, the rebellion has turned the facility into a POW camp.
Gaudile Laboratory posted:
There were plans to revive nature in this sector using Force Metal Of course, ”nature” refers not to ordinary plants, but to man—made mechaplants. Mechaplants produce oxygen through photo—synthesis, and absorb polluted air. After Epsilon’s uprising, research on these was halted and the area was abandoned. Gaudile is making use of the area as his research laboratory.
Ulfat Factory posted:
This is a Mechaniloid production factory. It was used to design Reploids for mining and other tasks until the Rebellion uprising, after which it switched to producing combat Reploids.
The drill is used to extract magma instead of Force Metal. This magma is what powers the factory.
Gimialla Mine posted:
This pile of rocks was brought to replenish the Energen ore, the power source of reploids.
But eventually the increased usage of Force Metal made Energen ore obsolete, and the cavity inside was turned into a Force Metal laboratory. Since Epsilon's Uprising the laboratory has come under the control of the Rebellion.
Vanallia Desert posted:
The Onovan Desert region is constantly plagued by sandstorms and tornadoes. It was originally a dome-shaped plate designed to test the specifications of reploids by placing them in various environmental conditions.
However, when the environment control device went berserk, it turned into a barren desert. The surface is sand, and the underground facility was built to observe test runs.
Melda Ore Plant posted:
Force Metal mined in Giga City is brought here for refining and to be converted for use in generators. It traverses the surface of the sea to collect the Force Metal from each of the plates.
The temperature of the refinery itself is kept low to absorb the heat given off when Force Metal is refined.
Grave Ruins Base posted:
This sector is used to test the abilities and durability of Reploids designed in Giga City. It is possible to create a variety of scenarios through application of extreme heat, cold, or dry conditions.
At the time of the Rebellion uprising, Epsilon made this his headquarters. There is a rumor that when this test plant was used to assess prototype Reploids, many of those who failed to make the grade were destroyed.
