Prologue

Prologue

The Zohar at Lake Turkana, Kenya, Africa.

  • The Zohar is transferred to Vector' labs in Toronto, Canada, where various examinations and experiments are performed on it.

A.D. 2XXX[]

NephZohar

Nephilim and the Zohar.

  • Vector Industries scientist Grimoire Verum deciphers Lemegeton and creates Program Lemegeton, which allowed a way to harness the energy hidden beyond the Zohar. Grimoire uses his program to perform a link experiment between the Zohar and his daughter, Nephilim Verum. Instead of activating it, Nephilim instead vanished.
  • The experiment continued until the Zohar was activated, leading to a Matter Shift on a much larger scale. As Earth began to disappear, humanity was forced to flee to space.
  • The survivors that would go on to form the Immigrant Fleet leave Earth using a spaceship called Pleroma, which was built by Vector Industries. The Immigrant Fleet took records of Earth with them, as well as the Relics of God, such as the Vessels of Anima and Zarathustra.
    • Wilhelm was able to obtain the Vessels of Anima from Rennes-le-Château, but due to unknown reasons, he is unable to retrieve Mary Magdalene's body.
  • In order to prevent the spreading of this disappearance phenomenon to the entire universe, Wilhelm sealed Earth away.

A.D. 2510[]

  • T.C. (Transcend Christ) is adopted.

Transcend Christ Era[]

T.C. 0016[]

  • Earth is re-named "Lost Jerusalem". Because of Wilhelm, the way to it is no longer known.

Blank Space of 4000 Years[]

  • At an unknown point in time, the Immigrant Fleet settles on a planet which they name Abraxas. It becomes the site for them, the secret society of Ormus, and the People of the Zohar, as well as the site of the Relics of God. They also colonize an asteroid, naming it "Pleroma" after their immigrant ship, and use it as a site of worship for their religion.
    • Abraxas was used as a base of settlement by groups that had managed to escape the Earth upon its destruction. The groups formed an independent nation unaffiliated with Galaxy Federation law, and thus declared the establishment of the Immigrant Fleet nation. However, it was later incorporated into the Federation.
  • Over thousands of years, the Galaxy Federation expands to half a million planets throughout the known universe. The Galaxy Federation is also forced to relocate its capital four times, eventually ending up on Fifth Jerusalem.

T.C. 4000[]

  • At the start of the T.C. 4000s, the Immigrant Fleet reunited with the Galaxy Federation. The two groups began mutual exchanges, but their backgrounds and cultural disparities were too much to bridge. Due to this and the Immigrant Fleet's possession of the Zohar, this led to a long history of wars and truces.

T.C. 4400[]

  • According to Pier Piper, at the turn of T.C. 4400, Vector Industries had a U.M.N. management and administration department. They were behind the first theories of virtual reality construction inside the new U.M.N. "Carnegie" was the name of the mathematician who served as the leader of the organization at the time. Because of his ideas, scientific progress jumped forward rapidly in the next two hundred years. Without his research, virtual reality would still be hundreds of years away.

T.C. 4474[]

  • In T.C. 4591, the Draper region was opened up to private use by Dmitri Yuriev after a branch of the Yuriev Institute was built there. Every private business in the biotechnology sector set up shop in the area, hoping to enjoy the new benefits provided by the Life Recycling Act in a region closely linked with Yuriev.
