BUBBLEGUM CRISIS
MegaTokyo 2033
The Year is 2033. The Place is...
MegaTokyo
Virtually destroyed by the second great Kanto
earthquake in 2025, Japan's Capital has risen like a phoenix from its own
ashes. Today, MegaTokyo is the most modern city in the world - a center
of technology and industry for the entire planet.
But it's also a city in crisis. Just as the Kanto
fault has rent the Metropolis in Two, so too has MegaTokyo's reconstruction
divided its populace into the corporate rich and the displaced poor. Confusion
and conflict rage in the streets as crime and overcrowding become explosive
problems.
But this megalopolis greatest threat may be from
technology itself. Science and industry have literally run amok, driven
blindly forward by the worlds largest corporation...
Genom
This super-conglomerate is the mightest economic
power on the globe. It dominates the fields of manufacturing and high-tech
industry, and is the primary force in the colonization and exploitation
of space.
While Genom presents itself as an upstanding
concern, the truth is far more odious. In reality, its founder and chairman,
the cunning and mysterious Quincy, is using the corporation to take control
of the planet. To this end, Genom promotes wars to destrabilize governments,
develops illegal technology, and indulges and encourages the idividual
greed and ambitions of its executives.
Unfortunately, Genom has made itself vital to
the rest of Society and now controls many essential resources. The corporations
most powerful tool, however, is the startling new race of artificial beings
it has created..
Boomers
Born of the fusion of mechatronics and biotechnology,
cyberdriods were hailed as a new servitor race which would liberate mankind. Commonly
referred to as "Boomers", these artifical life forms ranged
from simple robots to the most advanced androids, and some were even reported
to have their own personalities.
Although originally created to aid in the devlopment
of outer space, labor boomers were soon marketed domestically. Ultimately,
Genom also designed combat boomers: terrifying armored monsters bristling
with deadly weaponry.
In 2033, Boomers are everywhere; They fight wars,
work at contruction sites, and even serve coffee... But Boomers can be
unstable - sometimes going beserk and killing people in a fenzy of blood
lust. In response, an elite police force was created to deal with these
rogue robots...
The AD Police
Originally established as a special branch to
deal with riots and terrorism, the advanced police now use military weapons,
armored vehicles, and powered armor to protect MegaTokyo from the boomers
that increasingly rampage through the city.
Yet even the bravery and firepower of the AD
Police are insuffiecient when faced with Genom's ever-evolving combat boomers.
MegaTokyo needs help and like it or not, it will come from...
The Knight Sabers
This mysterious team of vigilatnes stalks MegaTokyo,
battling Genom's most powerful combat boomers. When Genom murdered Dr.
Katsuhito Stingray. The Creator of the boomers, little did they realize
that his daughter Sylia would vow to vidicate her father's legacy. Using
her father's secret research, she has created amazing anti-boomer weapons
and recruited a team of determined young women as her covert strike team.
Now, the computer savvy Nene, the athletic Linna, and the fiery Priss have
joined Sylia to challenge the evil of Genom!
Equipped with weapons years in advance of others.
The Knight Sabers fight to stem the flood of twisted techonology pouring
from Genom. Their powered armor hardsuits make them a match for most boomers,
and their motoslaves transforming robotic motocycles have firepower equivilane
to tanks.
They fight to save MegaTokyo and the world from
Quincy's domination, their battles are chronicled in a series of original
video animations called...
