## Timeline Information

### Followed By:

True Ultimatum

This new era has sparked a conflict known as the *Legion-Renegade War*, which initially pitted the new generation of heroes against the vicious renegades who uphold their goal of restoring PROJECT, all until it blew out of proportions as they attempted to disgrace a fallen legend by taking war into the Northern lands. Thankfully, the forces of good have won this conflict, but it is too soon to celebrate because an old menace has resurfaced.

This old threat, one of the most powerful beings in the planet, has resurfaced for one true reason: True Ultimatum. These words symbolise a war of unmatched ferocity and magnitude that every force in the planet has to settle their differences from one another in order to combat the greatest threat to this era, and its future that is now.

## Synopsis

### Legion-Renegade War

Set in the year 3026, Nexonia Prime is now a blooming planet of freedom again. Since then, it proved to be a bright utopian paradise for all of nevanity. It is already far safer than ever as the former movement, is now transformed into a big organisation adept on recruiting the newest heroes of the generation. However, the future brought something that represents the epitome of technology: Nextech, and Aether. Moreover, what is really concerning is that a terrorist society known as the Corporate Renegades are hellbent on rebuilding a bygone megacorporation, through the help of some secret, nefarious corporation: S.O.L.A.C.E!

As all legends say, when you remove one or more forces of evil from the world, another takes its place. That is the case when the forces of good has defeated both the renegades and S.O.L.A.C.E, the post-war end only bred a new kind of evil: LORD ANNIHILATOR. He does not represent a faction, but rather shows himself as a mechanical being whose goal was to enact vengeance upon everyone in his path, starting by reacquiring his dimension, and recruit heralds to suit his agenda, all while he expects a duel from Meta Evangeline. That being said, the Legion has yet to fight the most important war of their life, one that will determine the fate of their future and leave an impact on the current era.

In retrospect, the Nexon Prime Space Command has been restructured without the involvement of the Unified Astronomical Government or the Colonial Administration Authority. This explains the Panamoan Republic's meteoric ascent to power and their ability to repel all threats to their country and the globe, even great enemies like S.O.L.A.C.E. and the Societas Renegare. No enemy is too formidable for them. Furthermore, it is clear that the planet is an independent entity that is not linked with any political factions.

## Nexonia Prime's State

### Aftermath

The planet Nexonia Prime's conclusion of the dreaded war has finally ended PROJECT's rule and terror, causing widespread acclaim, owing to the G/NEX, a group whose main goal was to overthrow the megacorporation while saving and protecting the innocents, most of whom gave the ultimate sacrifice to fight for a better future, but that won't be possible without the help of their alliance with various factions on the planet, and the death of Ashe. Somewhere in Christmas was celebrated as the "G/NEX Day", which honours their heroic actions against the megacorporation, while the Iceborns have made a tomb for the deceased leader to protect her legacy.

That does not mean the planet runs out of evil, however.

### Culture

Despite the fact that it has only been a year since the end of the PROJECT era, the free world has finally moved on from the megacorporation's century-long foundation that caused a holocaust, oppression and terror throughout the planet. Since the end, all countries are required to demolish anything that belonged to the megacorporation, and a convention created by the Winslow Accord, the direct successor of Sacrosanct Defence Coalition, has been passed through a majority vote prevented the planet from embracing hyper-advanced technology ever again.

This explains the usage of modern firearms and their prevalence to the new culture instead of hyper-advanced firearms in the 31st century, save for a few whom has the audacity to do so. Fortunately, this did not impede the effectiveness of major military forces' effectiveness in ground combat, save for a few endeavours such as cybernetic combatants and combatants that utilise fully armoured power suits that cause destruction in warfare.

Moreover, as the forces of evil has demonstrated a more tolerable level of evil compared to PROJECT themselves, they are either redeemed, imprisoned or executed rather than straight up being killed due to their atrocities commited against nevanity.

## Chapters

Six chapters bring the storyline *Dawn of Era: An Uprising* to life. Set a year shortly after the end of the *PROJECT-G/NEX Chronicles*, It centres around a faction known as the NEW/G, which was lead by Fiona Vance as she took over the G/NEX due to Ashe's sacrifice, earning the position of a leader. As a result, a new age of heroes have begun, that also led to a secret, foreboding presence of villains have followed suit. The Corporate Renegades, which are hellbent on bringing PROJECT back, supported by a secret corporation, S.O.L.A.C.E.

Here are the chapters, arranged in chronological order:

* **New Generation of Heroes**: Explores the new era of G/NEX, now branded as NEW/G. It emphasises the story of newer generation heroes and the brand-new warriors who have joined their High Command, led by Fiona Vance. What has gotten the most attention is that she had the ideal candidate in mind: a high-potential hero, reportedly Ashe's ~~daughter~~ protégé.

* **Operation: New Troubles**: The peace enjoyed by the NEW/G is shattered when trouble brews in Avarshi. Salazar Progektö, the mastermind behind a terrorist group, aims to unleash the destructive power of Aether as he organised a convoy to deliver the supplies. Madeleine Clemirosa, in her first mission, must thwart their plans, leading to a high-stakes confrontation with the enigmatic cunning of Templar Vanguard. The episode unfolds with a gripping blend of action, suspense, and the hero's baptism by fire.

* **Brightblasting Adventure**: A former veteran has returned after his life of solitude. He now becomes a hero again and brings the NEW/G into bright, dangerous adventures that seeks to investigate the presence of new threats, despite the destruction of PROJECT themselves. It also introduces them to the heroics of a technology-powered superhero known NEXTECH Man. He emerged as the symbol of hope for the Aryaine Kingdom, taking down the forces of evil to protect his country, and defend the planet with full commitment.

* **Anti-Corporations**: Two Corporations such as S.O.L.A.C.E and Archibald Robotics have received condemnation from the public after the NEW/G has exposed their true colours. As a result, Corporate Renegades established their rivalry with the newer generation of heroes and a battle unfolds, all while a powerful entity interrupts them. His name is ADLEHR. However, the Legion suffers from two consecutive defeats, and they have to deal with a horrifying message from the Reaper: Someone has betrayed them, explaining their previous defeats against the renegades.

* + **Impending Threat**: ADLEHR confronts his lifelong nemesis, Eion, seeking revenge and information about his wife. The intense duel unfolds with mind games, riddles, and a battle to the death. The confrontation becomes a pivotal moment, revealing deep-seated grudges and setting the stage for a personal vendetta amidst the chaos of the larger conflict.

* **Unshakeable Revelation**: The NEW/G suspends operations as S.O.L.A.C.E unveils a satellite superweapon, leading to a devastating attack on the Legion's headquarters. The heroes disperse in the aftermath, and the forces of evil seize control, dividing the planet between the corporations and the renegades. Avarshi falls victim to colonization, with the Northern lands facing a ruthless takeover.

* **New Heroes, Another Ultimatum**: The Legionnaires now fight, in what appears to be the biggest war of the new era, while three things concern them, one is that Madeleine refused to rejoin their ranks and chose to protect her home as a tribe leader, second is that S.O.L.A.C.E has picked up where the renegades have "failed", and Yellowjacket Wolf's attempts on reviving PROJECT ANNIHILATOR into LORD ANNIHILATOR.

* **True Ultimatum**: The truth behind the rapid events since 3026 is revealed, tracing back to Ezreal, the thief who manipulated time. LORD ANNIHILATOR, an ancient enemy, returns after battling the forces of heaven. As the planet hurtles towards total destruction, the final war begins. Warriors from all walks of life converge, each with their motives—some to save, some to conquer. The fate of Nexonia Prime hangs in the balance, setting the stage for the ultimate confrontation.

## Trivia

### General

* It is the year 3026, and Nexonia Prime is once again a flourishing planet. Bright celebrations all around the globe, warships now patrolling again in the space, public gatherings, monuments, and tributes honouring the sacrifice of ASHE-159, as well as the introduction of the NEW/G.
* The title "Uprising" is defined in two aspects: the never-ending rise of power of the NEW/G, a hero organisation built from the G/NEX; and the foreboding danger that S.O.L.A.C.E harbours, along with their ally, the Societas Renegare, who sought to rebuild PROJECT again, believing that the planet was far better back when it ruled with an iron fist.
* The chrono-future of Nexonia Prime provided two magical technologies: Nextech, and Aether.
* Expect a new hero, whom seems **very** familiar.
* Michael Nexima, aka the Iron Man; Has a far more pivotal role than ever before.
* EION-013 returns! But without PROJECT cybernetics and armour, having reversed the augmentations through Nextech, but received an upgrade to his own legs for speed owing to Sigma R&D. He is now back in action, showcasing an energetic and positive attitude unlike ever before.
* Time hasn't passed that much as PROJECT has been destroyed forever, but it effectively ended a terrible era for good.
* Benjamin isn't the only time-hopping thief. There is another one, a blonde, fair skinned, young male.
* Meta Evangeline emerges to defeat her nemesis, who addressed himself as LORD ANNIHILATOR.
* Wrathful Arrow is destined to forever end the Clemirosan bloodline.
* The end of the *Legion-Renegade War* was preposterous, it only served as the setup for LORD ANNIHILATOR's ultimatum against the entire nevanity, ushering in a new army of Holographics as a testimony to his vengeance. Not to mention that this draw a bunch of new individuals, whether they support good or evil.
	+ What is also worse is that an unsanctioned war has occurred, codenamed: *Lost Light*. These are a series of engagements that involve mercenaries against an evil agency, after exposing them for manipulating them to their wargames.
* If PROJECT was reformed, its name will be... **ULTIMA**.
* **Lost Light** coincidentally took place the day after the end of the *Legion Renegade War*.

### Developmental Notes

* The title was to emphasise the radically different future and the rise of a new era.
* This storyline has a mixture of bright and a dark theme, unlike *PROJECT-G/NEX Chronicles* that has a war them that makes it dark, all the time.
* Meta Evangeline was a later, but welcome addition to the storyline.
* Fiona Vance was the main character for a while, until readers knew Lunar Frost took her place as the protagonist.
* The Corporate Renegades is a placeholder. Their real name is the Societas Renegare.
* Most of the chapters are made in an impromptu manner, rather than a complete structure that is clearly evident in *PROJECT-G/NEX Chronicles*.
* The **Future Weapons Withdrawal Act**, passed on December 31, 3025, and marking the beginning of a new era, prohibits any nation from using any kind of future weapon. However, not every organisation is exempt with great examples including the Winslow Accord, Stryke Blast Initiative and Winslow Systems.
* In the original version of *True Ultimatum*, everyone inside the planet died after LORD ANNIHILATOR triumphed over the entirety of nevanity and their warriors. The only hope for nevanity is the reformed Nexon Prime Space Command, which they may use their alien-fighting experience to defeat this threat once and for all. This means they may be prepared for this catastrophe.
* The original version of *True Ultimatum* saw LORD ANNIHILATOR merging Nexonia Prime with the Digital Realm.
* The new characters are directly tied into *True Ultimatum*.
* An elusive empire has now resurfaced, the perversion of nevanity's power, Settlement Defence Frontier.
