Dawn of Era: An Uprising/Cut Content

Like any fictional media, the **Dawn of Era: An Uprising** storyline had many elements cut from the final product for various reasons, including but not limited to: reducing the level of violence, shortening the production time, avoiding creative interference, and rewriting a scene that was deemed poorly made.

## Cut Characters

In contrast to the preceding storyline, **Dawn of Era: An Uprising** included considerably varied people, many of whom had distinctive outfits, backgrounds, and skills. This is in sharp contrast to the *PROJECT-G/NEX Chronicles*, which has been inhabited by cyborg heroes and villains alike. This storyline has emphasised on all characters that have different looks to make themselves stand out in contrast to their uniformed appearances from before.

* **Alias Progektö**, Salazar's sick wife that soon emerged to avenge him after the Societas Renegare's downfall. Throughout the early draft of the storyline, he was taking care of her. She arose and was injected with Aether to make herself a superhuman with hidden combat skills that has yet to be tested. In the final version, she is completely omitted. She aligned herself with ULTIMA after LORD ANNIHILATOR waged another war.

* **Margaret "Mother of Technology" Kennedy**, despite being a prominent character in *Progenitor*, she was cut from *True Ultimatum*.

* **Elizah "Bombshell" Haysbert**, a mercenary working for Winslow Systems. Heavily armoured, and specialises in heavy weapons, as she is noted for her excellence in demolitions and the use of explosives. She needs no introduction, give her something to blow up and Elizah would do it in no time. Not to mention, she is enhanced.

* **Apostle**: Cut NEW/G Legionnaire. He's far too similar to KATH-421.

## Cut Storyline Events

Due to the troubled development of Dawn of Era: An Uprising, tonnes of content was cut from the main storyline, and various events were drastically rewritten in favour of merging the themes of a modern and a futuristic fiction. The following are the cut content for the main storyline that was eventually removed.

### Bygone: The Uprising

* Bloodlust was never redeemed. She was then killed by Lunar Frost out of the former's suggestion after a brutal duel.
* Bloodlust remained a loyal renegade. She never wanted to be redeemed, no matter how hospitable Madeleine is.
* Madeleine didn't learn more of her family's heritage and chose to stay in the Legion, giving her a lot of challenges to deal with.
* Fiona becomes even more powerful, and has gained a custom suit of armour, courtesy of Sigma R&D.

### New Heroes, Another Ultimatum

* The Societas Renegare has triumphed over the Clemirosans, which in return depicted a FAR more ruthless Madeleine Clemirosa.
* Madeleine is struck by guilt over the annihilation of the Clemirosans, and proceeds to stab herself in the heart with an arrow of True Ice.
* Madeleine's death signified the end of the Clemirosans. This also sparked controversy with the entire planet, placing the Legion under a series of accusations.
* Due to this, the world has blamed either the Legion or the Renegades in regarding the true cause of Madeleine's death. Fiona has valiantly shrugged off the criticisms no matter how intense they were.
* Michael Nexima found a way to revive Madeleine, but he did not inform anyone but Palmer and Bale.

### True Ultimatum

* Meta Evangeline sacrifices herself in vain to defeat LORD ANNIHILATOR, whilst Galaxia (In the early draft), annihilates him in her efforts to help. However, The Tyrannical Supreme activates all of his bodies stored at Sublevel 19A, meaning victory, is ultimately pointless no matter their efforts. Perhaps REDEEMER-865 and PSYLOCKE-832's life of solitude made it impossible for the warriors to win against him.
* LORD ANNIHILATOR triumphed over the combined forces of nevanity, forcing the Digital Realm to engulf the planet and Nexonia Prime, as we know it, is now a gigantic world of the Tyrannical Supreme.
* Victory, as one would expect by fighting LORD ANNIHILATOR and his forces, is IMPOSSIBLE.
* The Digital Realm infused with the Physical World after ANNIHILATOR's victory. The planet that nevanity once thrived in has been forever erased in favour of a new world that accustomed the Tyrannical Supreme himself.
* After defeating all of Nevanity's warriors, ULTIMA was officially recognised as a megacorporation and established their new headquarters in Avarshi. LORD ANNIHILATOR soon made the planet suffer by gradually integrating his own world, the Digital Realm. None of nevanity can stop him, so it is up to the reformed Nexon Prime Space Command to stop the overlord and reclaim their planet. Should they succeed, they may be able to reverse the fusion of two separate realms.

## Cut Locations

The storyline of *Dawn of Era: An Uprising* also featured a number of notable locations that are cut in the development process of the sequel storyline.

* **Aetherium**, A vast underground system underneath the icy lands of Avarshi. It is the true source of all Aether as this place is filled with all the deposits of Aether in the entire planet. Gladys has since used it to enhance her power over controlling Dark Ice.
* **Fortress of Clemirosa**, a hidden fortress located in the Clemirosan mountains. It featured a stronghold and inhabited by Clemirosan warriors. It also displays the true heritage of the prestigious family.

* **WINSLOW RIPCORD**, a secret headquarters of COALESCENCE. According to reports, it is a military base outfitted with the finest weapons, vehicles, and munitions. This indicates that Winslow Systems has developed into an independent military force but has not made this information public, keeping the faction's reputation as a security firm's that uses contractors.

* **SIGMA ARMS**, A huge armoury located underneath Sigma R&D's main headquarters in Roji. It features all their manufactured weapons and armour, alongside conventional firearms with ammunition for their customers to use in self defence, or tools of war.

* **Imperium**, the Legion's hidden headquarters. It was designed to be inconspicuous and is heavily protected. It is located underneath Camelot, in Aryaine Kingdom. It serves as an alternate base of operations to the highly renowned Legion HQ. In the final cut however, their final base was a retrofitted hangar in Area 91.

## Trivia

### General

* The 2022 fiction *Dawn of Era: An Uprising* had a troubled development process. Its storyline, characters and tone underwent major changes both before and during production, and there was a rapid change of decisions that impacted the storyline.
* The radically diverse characters of this storyline was meant to enhance diversity and a more light hearted tone.
* New versions of the veteran G/NEX warriors have been scrapped, as it would be implausible for them to join the Legion after the trauma they sustained in the war.
* A pleasant surprise character was Lunar Frost. Her arc was already halfway complete in the start, which is why the first version of her page appeared enormous and her development was kept hidden until it was eventually revealed.
* Avarshi served as the main setting, due to its relevance and the death of ASHE-159 served as the blueprint.
* Haysbert was later repurposed to a character known as Golden Battery. The former's characteristics were transferred and revised.
