Armored Core: The Return
We come now to mankind's darkest days. The world is not what once it was. Powers have shifted, lands have changed, and much that was is lost, destroyed or forgotten. But there is too much to tell and so little time to tell it. But let us begin where we can:
In the year A.E. 235 the Ravens, mankind's warrior angels, fell from the heavens. Their fortress of old, Nerve Concord, fell victim to the evil of treachery and the ills of war. The once guns-for-hire turned rebellious fighters were destroyed by the M1Zingram Army, the military arm of the Mirage Corporation. With none left to oppose them, the rule of the "Corperations", Mirage, Zio Matrix, it's sister company Neo Matrix, and Emeraude ruled absolute. Swollen and and powerful they took total control, ruling the colonies like lords of a feudal land, unchallenged and unopposed. Truly, mankind has known no darker hour than this. What is left of the Ravens is a scattered people. Forced into hiding throughout the colonies in order to survive, the gears of resistance, so to speak, had nearly ground to a halt. Until now. On the eve of the merger of Zio Matrix and a new and dangerous force, Inex, the shadows begin to speak. In the Ghetto's, the Sectors, the downtrodden people walk with their heads lowered, their eyes averted from the ubiquitous Zingram guard, but they carry a hope now; The Ravens are coming. The Return is close at hand.
