Disclaimer: I don't own anything from the Super Robot Wars (or Super Robot Taisen if you prefer) all the characters, robots and general trademarks used in the story are the property of Banpresto, Bandai, Sunrise, etc. I reread my own prologue and figured thatg I could do what I can to improve on what I've written for the story in hope that I can make it way better than the original version did especially as I'd like to thank my friend and co-author Lily Nadesico for introducing me to the Super Robot Wars franchise in general.

P/S: The first Super Robot Wars game I ever played was Super Robot Wars Judgement (SRW J for short) and I've enjoyed it very much that it made me interested in giving the other games in the franchise a try whenever I get the chance in the future. Also I am not trying to make profit on the story at all so please don't sue me.

Prologue

oooooooooo

Cosmic Era 71, a period of turmoil and chaos for all of humanity.

Fourteen years ago, the world was torn asunder by an unprecedented catastrophe known as Second Impact, which caused an explosion that melted the Antarctic ice cap and caused a shift of Earth's axis; climate changes and gigantic floods followed, causing the population of Earth to be almost halved in both the immediate disaster and in the period of wars and unrest that followed. A part of the planet was left covered by a rock-like surface formed by the Scub Coral, an intelligent and sentient, but utterly alien, lifeform that was recently theorized to have inhabited the planet before humanity itself.

As a result, the world was divided into several warring superpowers that sought to control what was left of the Earth Sphere. The Atlantic Federation, the Empire of Dorssia and the Holy Britannian Empire soon rose above the warring factions and estabilished their superiority, thanks to their superior technology and aggressive expansionistic policies, quickly subjugating most of the world. Only a few select countries remained free from their oppression, mostly those who were considered backwater countries like the Orb Union or small, unimportant countries in remote parts of the world, where humans eked out a miserable existance in the underworld, under the oppressive rule of the mysterious Spiral King and his army of Beastmen. The nation of JIOR was one of the few that managed to retain a modicum of independence.

In the turmoil that followed Second Impact, tensions between the Atlantic Federation and the space colonies known as PLANTs, united in a federation of disparate colonies known as ZAFT (Zodiac Alliance of Freedom Treaty), began rising. Backed by a shadowy terroristic group known as Blue Cosmos, the Atlantic Federation was opposing the creation of Coordinators, people born from pre-birth gentic modifications and with greater physical and mental skills than natural-born humans (known as Naturals), considering them an abomination against nature. The warfare quickly began escalating, reaching a devastating climax when the Atlantic Federation's Peacemaker Force attacked several PLANTs with nuclear weapons, causing the tragedy that came to be known as the Bloody Valentine, resulting in the deaths of more than 200'000 Coordinators.

Complicating matters was the awakening, in the depths of the Pacific Ocean, of a huge, mysterious spacecraft of unknown origin, only known to the rest of the world as Orphan. A group of scientists collectively known as Reclaimers had chosen Orphan as their base of operation, conducting secret operations in order to bring their base back from the oceanic depths. Convinced of their destiny to evolve beyond the limits of humanity, the Reclaimers press on, seemingly indifferent to the danger caused by Orphan to the whole Earth Sphere...

The failure of the "Cygnalite Project" to explore the constellation Cygnus, and the crash landing of a giant, artificial object known as "EI-01", began an invasion of mankind by forces believed to be of extraterrestrial origin. One of such threats, the monstrous invaders knows as Radam, necessitated the creation of a new organization, the Space Knights, dedicated to stopping them and preventing them from landing on Earth.

In this period of turmoil, an independent faction, the Hadou Financial Empire, began financing several organizations all around the world, in order to control the damage and make sure that the repairs to the devastated Earth could proceed more smoothly. Because of their efforts, Dragon's Hive, Mithril, NERV and Celestial Being began operating in several parts of the world, stemming the fighting and defeating the mysterious invaders known as Angels, who have begun attacking humanity 14 years after the occurrence of Second Impact, for reasons unknown. However, several such organizations began breaking ranks with the Hadou Financial Empire, following their own directives while still fighting to protect the world from outside menaces. Soon after, two mysterious robots known as Dancougars began appearing in the battlefields all around the world...

In recent times, a new invading force made itself known - the Jovian Lizards, mysterious aliens from planet Jupiter, began attacking full force, targetting the colonies on Mars and the Moon, and soon spreading to Earth. Nergal Heavy Industries, one of the main weapons manifacturers and producers of space technology in the Earth Sphere, soon stepped up to counter the new threat, creating a powerful new battleship known as Nadesico...

Cosmic Era 71. As humanity rushes towards self-destruction, an unlikely alliance between people who find themselves embroiled in the warfare will become the last hope for the future...

A/Ns: Here it is, my very first attempt at doing a Super Robot Wars fic improved from the original version of the prolouge and I have to thank Lily Nadesico for not only co-writing the story with me but also inspiring me into doing it from having read her Super Robot Taisen S and Super Robot Taisen S Zero fics so I recommend that you read them as they are pretty good as is her Super Robot Taisen G Redux story. Also, she has informed me that she will be rewriting her Super Robot Taisen S story in order to improve on the story and implement her ideas for it in a better manner.

oooooooooo

This chapter may go through updates depending on what happens throughout the course of the story, plus while the prologue isn't as short as the original version (yes, it's still somewhat short but hopefully an improvement over the initial version)... I felt like I wanted to try and make it look better than it did originally, I needed to once again thank Lily for introducing me to the Super Robot Wars series, especially as I had discovered that the newest game has been released for the Japanese PlayStation Vita and I apologize for taking so long with working on the next chapter as real life events are getting the better of me right now such as school and stuff... All of which are beyond my control, oh well.

Nevertheless, I will be doing my best to bring in some twists for the story when I can so stay tuned for that and just so you know, I support Kira/Flay, Shinn/Stellar, Athrun/Cagalli, Setsuna/Feldt, Haruto/Saki, Shinji/Rei, Tolle/Mir, Lux/Lisha and Ichika/Charl. This is non-negotiable, sorry but it needed to be said right here and there.

I also concur with Dragoon Swordsman that Mobile Suit Gundam SEED isn't that bad, sure SEED Destiny was a real train wreck but I have to admit, I liked the original SEED a lot though there were things on it that needed mprovement to make it way better, more so as I am also admitting that the original entry to the C.E. had its own share of flaws throughout the entire series.

Other than that, please enjoy the story and I promise that I will do more for it whenever I get the chance.
