History
The Helic Republic
The precursor to the Helic Republic, the Helic Kingdom, was formed in ZAC 1957 when King Helic Muaroa, the leader of the Wind Tribe, unified a number of the disparate tribes of the eastern half of the Central Continent of Delpoli. He then worked with Guylos, the ruler of the Earth Tribe, to unify the entire continent under the one nation. Guylos, however, had his own plans. In ZAC 1958, he started a war to control the newly-unified nation. His armies, supported by strange Zoids from a distant land (The Dark Continent of Nyx), clashed with Helic's. In the end, Helic triumphed and Guylos was exiled. However, he succeeded in splitting the continent in half; the eastern half ruled by Helic and the western half ruled by his own people. King Helic died in ZAC 1978, naming his son, Helic Muaroa II, as his heir. Upon assuming the throne, Helic dissolved the monarchy and recreated the government as a republic. Helic's younger half-brother, Zenebas Muaroa, was made commander in chief of the armed forces. However, Zenebas was discovered to be plotting against the government. He was charged with treason and exiled from the Republic. Zenebas travelled to the western half of the continent and, with the aid of Guylos' soldiers, seized power and formed the Zenebas Empire. Tensions mounted between the two nations leading to, in ZAC 1980, a border dispute over the Red River area that triggered the first Central Continent War. The war continued for some forty years, consisting mainly of low-intensity skirmishes. During this time, both sides used early Zoids as well as conventional infantry forces. Matters changed in ZAC 2029 when an Earth ship, the Globally 3, crashed in the middle of the continent. The surviving humans were absorbed into both the Republic and the Zenebas Empire. Using the advanced earth technologies, both sides were able to improve the power of their Zoids. The intensity of the war increased as both sides began to field newer and more powerful weapons. In ZAC 2030, the Republic deployed the Gojulas and used it to great effect against the Zenebas forces. However, the Zenebas Empire counterattacked with the Iron Kong, causing the war to continue until ZAC 2039 when the Republic deployed the super-heavy Ultrasaurus Zoid. The Ultrasaurus' firepower was enough to drive back the Zenebas forces, the Republic eventually taking their capital and ending the war. Zenebas himself fled to the Dark Continent of Nyx, while the remainder of the Empire surrendered. In ZAC 2042, however, Zenebas returned with a new army of powerful new Zoids. The new forces quickly regained control of the old Zenebas Empire, then invaded the Republic. In ZAC 2044, the Zenebas Empire used the new Deathsaurer to destroy the Republic's capital. The remaining Helic forces fled to the mountains at the eastern end of the continent and waged a guerrilla war against the Zenebas Forces. The Helic army used this time to secretly build a new weapon to defeat the Deathsaurer, the Mad Thunder. In ZAC 2048, the Mad Thunder was completed and used to spearhead an assault on the captured capital. The Zenebas forces, unable to stop the new Zoid, were driven back to their own territory. The Helic army continued, driving towards the Zenebas capital once more. In ZAC 2049, they took the capital leading to them crushing the Zenebas Empire.
Now in control of the entire continent, the Helic Republic spent the next few years rebuilding and absorbing the remnants of the Zenebas Empire. However, in ZAC 2051, strange events began to occur. Plants and animals began to die, the ground became parched and lakes and rivers dried up, as if the continent itself was dying. The source of these events was revealed when the continent was invaded by the Guylos Empire's army, which used a number of 'Dark Zoids' powered by Deochalcum. The Guylos forces absorbed the remnants of the Zenebas Empire, before invading the Republic. In order to counter the Guylos forces, the Republic invaded the Dark Continent in ZAC 2053. What started as an invasion turned into a bloody stalemate, and then an all-out disaster, as Guylos Empire's Gilvaders destroyed the Republic's army. The Gilvader force then attacked the Republic, devastating it before being defeated by the Orudios. In ZAC 2056, the Republic launched a counter-attack with the King Gojulas, aimed at destroying the Guylos Empire. As the Republic's forces prepared for the final assault on the Guylos capital, disaster struck. An asteroid struck one of the three moons of Zi, shattering it and causing debris to rain down on Zi. The meteors devastated the planet; the Central Continent was split into three sections while a portion of the Dark Continent sank into the ocean. Both the Republic and the Guylos Empire suffered severe losses and were unable to wage war; instead they were left struggling to survive. The Republic, now in complete control of the Central Continent, spent the next forty years rebuilding itself after the devastation under its new leader, President Louise Camford. (Helic's fate is unclear, but he is assumed to have perished during the meteor strike) The Central Continent was peaceful during this time, because the Guylos Empire no longer could directly attack the Central Continent due to the presence of Triangle Daras, the so-called Sea of Witchery, a massive impenetrable storm between the two continents. In ZAC 2099, the Guylos Empire invaded the Western Continent of Europa, aiming to use it as a staging ground for an invasion of the Republic. The two nations again went to war, the Republic eventually driving the Empire back in ZAC 2101. The Helic forces then launched an invasion of the Dark Continent, aimed at defeating the Guylos Empire once and for all. The invasion was a disaster for both factions, with both the Helic and Guylos armies being wiped out by the emerging Neo-Zenebas Empire. The Neo-Zenebas forces swept onto the Central Continent, reclaiming the western half as their new Zenebas Empire. Many of the people of the continent supported them, wanting to see the return of their original leaders. The Neo-Zenebas Empire continued their campaign to bring the entire continent under their control, using the new Seismosaurus Zoid to crush the Helic forces and again take the capital in ZAC 2106. President Camford was apparently killed in the battle, her son, Colonel Rob Hermann, taking control of the remnants of the Republic. The Helic army fled to the Eastern Continent where they came into contact with the remnants of the Guylos Empire and the ZOITEC corporation.
The Republic built a new army and, in ZAC 2109, invaded the continent, driving towards their capital. The Helic forces engaged the Zenebas army, the two sides being evenly matched. However, Emperor Wolff Muaroa's Energy Liger was badly damaged and threatened to explode, which would have destroyed both armies and the entire city. He was saved, however, by a Republic Liger Zero Falcon which managed to channel the energy from his Zoid's core and disperse it in a massive beam. Wishing to avoid any further conflict, Wolff Muaroa withdrew the Neo-Zenebas forces from the city, allowing the Republic to reclaim it. This ended the era of conflict between the two nations. As of ZAC 2230, the Helic Republic still survives in some form.
