Sector: Glorie
The Garden of the Zor
Geography: Planet Glorie is a terraformed super-earth with a gravity 1.2x that of Earth. It is defined by its two moons, ALUCE-1 and ALUCE-2, which serve as the primary orbital shipyards for the N.U.N.S. colonization effort. The surface is dominated by the ruins of an ancient Protoculture civilization that predates even the Stellar Republic.
The Conflict: The Megaroad-04 fleet made landfall in 2035, believing the planet uninhabited. They awoke "The Zor"—a caste of bio-engineered guardians left behind by the Protoculture. Unlike the Zentradi who were bred for war, the Zor were bred for stewardship. They view the human use of thermonuclear reaction weaponry as a "pollution" of their sacred garden.
S.C.A. (Colonial Defense)
The Southern Cross Army is a decentralized N.U.N.S. force. Due to atmospheric interference, standard Variable Fighters (VF-1/VF-4) underperform. The SCA developed specialized corps to handle the terrain.
- ATAC: Alpha Tactical Armored Corps. Pilots the VHT-1 Spartas Hover Tank.
- TASC: Tactical Air Space Corps. Pilots the VF-8 Logan and VFH-10 Auroran.
- GMP: Global Military Police. Internal security and intelligence.
The Zor (Natives)
A humanoid species with high Fold-Wave sensitivity (Rune-touched). They utilize bio-mechanical armor grown from the "Flowers of Life."
- Bioroids: Pilotless mecha controlled via direct neural link by Zor commanders.
- Red Bioroid: Commander unit. High mobility, beam weaponry.
- Invid Fighter: (N.U.N.S. Codename) High-atmosphere interception unit.
Current Campaign Status
The peace treaty of 2059 has fractured. A radical faction of the Zor, inspired by the "Windermere" declaration, has begun seizing N.U.N.S. relay stations. The 15th ATAC Squadron has been deployed to the desert region to intercept.
