- Theme:
The story of Heavy Gear takes place on a far away planet, settled by
humanity centuries ago and left to fend for itself. The people there have
developed a distinct society, adapted to the characteristics of their new
home planet. The most concentrated centers of power are the leagues, large
associations of independent city-states which rule the countryside.
The leagues of Terra Nova have polarized into two super-powers: the Confederated Northern City-States (CNCS) and the Allied Southern Territories (AST). Each confederation controls one of the planet's hemispheres and wields incredible military might. Only the gigantic equatorial desert known as the Badlands escapes their direct control, but will likely be their battlefield.

- Theme:
Long before recorded human history, the Earth was discovered by alien
travellers known as the Anshani. Gentle in their ways, and with an
incredible level of technology, they expanded their interstellar empire
across this Galaxy. Welcoming many into their fellowship, they nonetheless
had a few requirements for admission. Upon discovering the Earth, they
stationed a Sentinal Drone in the Sol System to protect developing humanity
from outside interference, and from the more warlike races who travelled
the stars, until Earth was technologically ready for contact.
The Anshani held the galaxy in peaceful coexistence for many millinia, and then mysteriously vanished, leaving behind a galaxy in chaos.
As interstellar empires rose and fell, humanity developed in a safe harbor in a sea of crumbling interstellar chaos, protected by a sentinel that watched and waited.
Now with the Sentinel Drone gone, the Earth was open to alien contact. Earth has been found by pirates who command an ancient Anshani ship with amazing technologies.
Realizing they have an untapped treasure trove on Earth, the pirates steal and enslave with every visit. As Mankind nears the 21st Century, Earth inhabitants hardly realize that thousands of people are vanishing every year. You were one of those until you were woken from cryo sleep by a 4 foot tall cockroach and was asked "Help us!" You are a part of a small group of desperate humans lost in a fallen alien empire of a hundred million inhabited worlds. - Homepage: http://users.aol.com/tritacrep2/tritac.html
