Many years after the defeat of Reapermon, a group of Digidestined and Tamers, disillusioned with their world, construct a vehicle capable of both interstellar and interdimensional travel. Christining their craft the D.S.S. Explorer, they set out to chart other, less civilized planets. Over the next millenia, with the aid of a warp in the time flow between worlds, they catalog no less than 3,000 such worlds in more than a hundred seperate dimensions, and some places which are bridges between the different universes. Meanwhile, on the planet they once called home, America, beacon of democracy, is Balkanized by internal factions, ruthless invaders, and the rise of powerful gangs. The fall of the US begins a chain reaction that leads to a world in anarchy, composed of squabbling city-states and a few powerful monarchies. The rich, the powerful and the wise leave the troubled Terra to found an empire spanning the far reaches of space. None return to their one-time home, but animosity and confrontations between Terrans and Autocrats, as they call themselves, are frequent in the interplanetary space of the Sol system, for the Terrans do not possese the technical skill to follow their brethren farther into space. In the midst of this chaos, the rulers of one american state discover a secret which could unite the world behind their leadership: they can use bionics, and post-natal genetic modification to turn ordinary men and women into unstoppable fighting machines. Unfortunately, mind control is only being researched across the globe, in the former Chinese state. The majority of the BioGens, as the abominations come to be called, leave their homeland and pledge their services to the highest bidder. BioGen research reaches the black market, but while many people are augmented into lesser such creatures, noone can seem to duplicate the success of the first group. Two of the original BioGens, both aged well over 2 centuries but still in the same physical state as when they were created, join up with one city-state not for money, but for the promise of a new America. A gang known as the Ironfists seek to conquer the american states and restore government by, of, and for the people to the land that was once the champion of democracy. Early in the year 3050, they unintentially join forces with the Digidestined in the ultimate struggle.
