When alien life entered our world, it was from deep beneath the Pacific Ocean.
August 11, 2013 at 0700, the first kaiju raged from the sea and devastated San Francisco. Code-named Trespasser, it took 3 nuclear bombs to put down . This was known as “K-Day”. Five months later, The Breach hurled out another kaiju – this time nearly destroying Manila before it too was nuked to cinders . The third hit Cabo. Then the fourth, and we learned: this was not going to stop. This was just the beginning.
We needed a new weapon. The inception of the Pan Pacific Defense Corps (PPDC) came out of the global desperation to save humanity. The Jaeger program, propositioned by Germany, Australia, and Japan, was a way to fight back without covering destroying earth itself. The world pooled its resources and created monsters of their own: giant humanoid mechas called JAEGERS designed for dual-pilot capabilities. These machines, equipped with the latest weapons and defensive technologies finally gave the humans a fighting chance against this unprecedented alien invasion.
Jaeger pilots , known as Rangers , became SAVIORS to the world . Brave men and women from every country , every background , every culture laid down their differences to give each other the best chance for survival . These people were among the millions of others who, despite the terror and carnage left by these alien beings, believed that the Corps’ thirty-story tall, mass weapons could give them the best hope to preserve the human species.
The fight is far from over and The Breach spits out Kaijus faster than humans can build Jaegers. The tide has turned and humanity looks to be standing on its last legs. With the destruction of the miracle mile off Anchorage, Alaska and staggering losses of Jaegers and Rangers alike, the PPDC realized they were grossly outmatched.
Phase 1: By 2025 , the PPDC are threatening to shut down the Jaeger program , shipping the remaining few Jaegers to the Hong Kong Shatterdome , the only base left standing. These Jaegers and their pilots are the last line of defense against global extinction.
Phase 2: By 2030, the Jaeger program has earned worldwide recognition once again for their valiant efforts and the PPDC start commissioning Jaegers to be built, along with new pilots to be trained, etc.
