Arcana

Nexus:

In the Year 2XXX, a new gate appeared on Earth. Unlike previous incidents like Skyfall and Maxion’s Gate, there was no sign of invasion or any threats. The EA and CYRUS sent their expedition teams to the new gate. The new gate leads to desolate lands where vegetation is within sight, but there’s no sign of sentient beings, let alone civilization. The EA called this land Arcana. The EA established the Frontier base around Arcana’s Gate and began to explore Arcana.

== The Arcana: Land of Mystery ==
The campaign takes place in the land of Arcana, which is physically similar to Earth. Arcana has a variety of terrain where out-of-the-ordinary vegetation and glimpses of civilization can be found.

According to theories by CYRUS researchers, Arcana is supposed to harbor high-end civilization and technology; Arcana’s Gate is prominent evidence for this theory. There are ruins—another evidence that some kind of civilization used to live in Arcana.

Despite the similarities with Earth, Arcana is a land full of unpredictability: a freezing tundra side by side with a vast and scorching desert, a massive sea of giant trees, canyon formations with metal-like characteristics, plains with lightning strikes without rain, and many abnormalities that increase the difficulty of fully exploring Arcana.

=== Main Areas ===
'''Thunderwild Plains''': Large open plains where lightning can strike without a cloud in the sky. It is a dangerous place to travel through in the day; however, nighttime lightning strikes are less frequent than in the day.

'''Ecliptic Sandsea''': A large desert split between the Frostpyre Tundra and Scouring Desert. Its temperatures are a pleasant middle ground between the harsh temperatures of its neighboring regions.
Scouring Desert: A hostile desert where even EXAMAC
s are not safe from the desert's vicious sandstorms. Most wildlife prefers to live underground in vast cavern networks.

'''Frostpyre Tundra''': A vast glacial plain that got its name from the tall glacial spikes with glowing bases that are strewn about the locale. Its snowstorms can freeze even the most well-insulated EXAMACs solid.

'''The Arboreal Sea''': A truly massive forest that spreads for hundreds of miles in every direction, with one truly massive tree known as the First Tree in the center of the forest. All kinds of vegetation similar to those on Earth can be found growing in the Arboreal Sea.

'''Razormaw Canyon''': A large canyon whose bottom and sides are covered in massive and deadly, razor-sharp rocks. One misstep can badly damage an EXAMACs.

=== The Frontiers ===
The Earth Alliance’s objectives in Arcana are to unravel the mystery behind Arcana’s Gate and to explore the land of Arcana for the possibility of colonization, given the similarities between Earth and Arcana. Aside from the forces from the EA and CYRUS’s Arcana branch, the Frontiers also employs various PMC groups; this helps the EA to focus on research while the PMCs explore the land of Arcana.

The discoveries: the energy source of Arcana's Gate is located in the middle of Arcana. Most minerals found in Arcana have the same properties as minerals on Earth. Arcana has unique radio waves that disrupt long-distance communication and navigation systems.
The Frontier established smaller bases throughout Arcana, with the EA forces centralized in the Frontiers and the outpost bases managed by the PMCs.

=== The Encounter ===
During an exploration mission, EA forces encounter unpleasant yet familiar figures: EXAMACs of the Byron and Maxion forces. Arcana’s Gates did not appear on Earth exclusively; they also appeared on both Byron’s and Maxion’s planets respectively. The mission objective changed from exploration and discovery to a race between three forces to discover the lost technology and civilization of Arcana.

Nexus:

In the year 2XXX, an interdimensional portal, or "Gate," appeared in Earth's orbit in an event referred to in history books as "The Skyfall Incident". Conflicts erupted between nations over the resources located on the other side of the Gate and, eventually, a new weapon was designed that would change warfare forever. ExAMACS (Extended Armament & Module Assemble & Combine System): humanoid robots with highly modular designs, customizable for every type of terrain, situation, or mission.

Decades later, a second Gate opened. Through it came an invading army from the planet Byron. Using their own advanced ExAMACS designs, the Byron Army proved to be a dangerous foe, forcing the Earth's governments to unite under the banner of The Earth Alliance in order to stand against the new, existential threat to the planet.

However, as the war between Earth and Byron raged, a third Gate appeared above Earth's moon. From it emerged a new army from planet Maxion, which utilized strange ExAMACS constructed of an unknown alloy; ExAMACS that were both highly mobile and incredibly resilient. Maxion launched attacks against Earth and Byron forces simultaneously, dragging the conflict into a three-way war.

Who shall be left standing? That is for you to decide.

Welcome to the War...

Within the planetary forces, there are several minor factions with competing motivations and interests. To learn more, visit the [[Factions]] page.
