==History==
===Ultraman New Generation Stars===
====Season 1====
Long ago, the technologically advanced inhabitants of created Ediom, an artificial intelligence whose function was the gather data on various civilizations for research purposes. After spending millennia documenting thousands of races across the universe, Ediom consistently found that many of them collapsed over time due to a lack of connections to each other, jading his perception. Eventually, he happened upon the Ultras. Noticing their strong bonds between each other, he decided to test the Ultras to see if they could survive with their ties to the past being severed. Ediom appeared to the Land of Light and erased their entire archive of their pasts before disappearing.
After the Ultras had all worked together to successfully restore their memories through the use of the Dimensionizer, Ediom appeared before Ultraman Zero, detailing his motive and how the Dimensionizer's unexpected arrival was something he could not have accounted for. After hearing his story, Zero explained more to him about the power of bond between the Ultras and the humans of Earth, changing Ediom's perception of bonds for the better. Satisfied with the results of his test and his newfound appreciation for the power of bonds, Ediom thanked Zero before departing to continue his surveillance of more species in the universe. 
====Season 2====
Some time later, Ediom decided to create a body for himself and based it on from a civilization he once recorded. While booting up, he was found by Ignis out in space. Ediom would later found himself on the Planet Earth that Ultraman Z protected and came upon Yuka Ohta who was working on improvements to STORAGE's Sevenger.
