Beyond Algo Timeline

THE COLLAPSE CENTURIES

AW 1284 (SC 352.84)

Distrust of Mother Brain begins to grow in the highest ranks of the Palman government. A fear grows that Mother Brain will try to destroy the entire planet. After taking great pains to keep the operation a secret from Mother Brain, a small shuttle crewed by Palma's best engineers and mechanics is sent to the moon Dahlia. Their mission is to repair, refurbish, and ready the four hundred space ships lying idle on the satellite. Meanwhile, the government develops a plan for evacuating the whole population of Palma onto the ships if necessary.

"Prologue"

Phantasy Star II

The population of Palma is able to escape from Palma aboard the four hundred spaceships. However, the refurbishment of the ships was incomplete. Several dozen of the ships fail almost immediately after take off. More yet are forced to land in remote regions of Motavia and Dezoris relatively unwatched by Mother Brain. One ship, Palman Sunrise, which Mium is aboard, becomes trapped in Motavian orbit when all of its systems, including life support, fail. Mium deactivates herself in despair. Another ship dies just outside of Dezoris' orbit, but the surviving passengers are saved when the space pirate Tyler passes by. The remainder of the ships fly out of the Algo system and towards a star system with an inhabitable planet preselected by Palman astronomers as the ships' final destination. However, the Dark Force fought by Rolf survives, slips out into space, and destroys the ships one by one. When the exodus fleet is whittled down to two surviving ships heading in opposite directions, Dark Force must choose one to destroy. He opts for the Alisa III, leaving the Neo Palm untouched.

AW 1285 (SC 352.85)

D'zkot kills Pai'tekkan K'Cren as well as his son and heir, Ran'tekkan K'Clanne, and becomes the new Pai'tekkan, or dictator, of Dezoris. However, before the New Order's plan to conquer all of Algo can be launched, D'zkot and his followers are destroyed by Rolf and his team.

Later, with Algo thrown into chaos by the destruction of Mother Brain, a group of technicians on Motavia scramble to find a solution. They decide to build a replacement computer for Mother Brain which they name "Daughter." However, before the Daughter Project can be completed and order restored, a fragment of the exploded Palma crashes into Motavia. The planet's environment is thrown into total chaos. The people are forced to concentrate on simple survival, and the Daughter project is abandoned. The remnant of Algoian civilization begins a terrifying downward spiral into an unprecedented dark age. This time comes to be known as "The Great Collapse." Lutz creates Soldier's Temple and Ladea Tower and places Noah's Wand, the Frad Mantle, and the sacred Prism inside so that they will be ready when darkness returns in another thousand years.

Meanwhile, aboard Alisa III, Dark Force causes a series of misunderstandings between different populations, resulting in the formation of two polarized factions. A man named Orakio, who will eventually come to lead one of the factions, meets a mysterious man named Seth. Seth becomes Orakio's friend, but is in fact Dark Force in disguise.

AW 1286 (SC 352.86)

Wren

The last android created by the pre-Collapse civilization is produced. The android, a Fuoren-model Wren-type, is placed on the satellite Zelan, which previously acted as a supplementary system to Mother Brain and Daughter. Through Wren's action, Zelan and its subsidiary Kuran are able to keep the environmental systems of Motavia and Dezoris functioning at a satisfactory level. Meanwhile, the AI control system of an underground biosystems lab below Zema gains access to the files on the Nei Project. This AI, whose name is Seed, begins to design his own "Nei Human" based upon the prototype research.

On the Alisa III, the tension stirred by Dark Force erupts into total war. One faction, composed primarily of scientists and scholars, is led by a biologist named Laya and her generals Alair and Lune. The "Layans" use biomonsters and constructs as weapons. The other faction is led by the mechanic Orakio, his brother Rulakir, and their generals Siren and Miun. The "Orakians" are composed of engineers and mechanics and use robots and androids to do much of their fighting. As the war progresses, most of the ship's occupants are slaughtered and the civilization aboard the ship sinks to an almost medieval level.

AW 1287 (SC 352.87)

Rulakir falls ill with the Black Energy Wave sickness after a meeting with "Seth."

AW 1288 (SC 352.88)

Lutz passes away. But before he does, he transfers his memory and will into the "Telepathy Ball," a magical artifact he has created. Lutz's chosen successor then communes with the Telepathy Ball and inherits all of Lutz's knowledge. Lutz's successor takes the title of "Lutz" out of respect for his old master and continues Lutz's fight against the darkness.

"Second to Final Meeting"

AW 1289 (SC 352.89)

Orakio and Laya meet face to face at a decisive battle. When they are stranded together and are forced to talk to one another, it becomes apparent to both that they have been deceived by "Seth," who has been working as a double agent. Once they are rescued by their respective armies, the two hold a secret meeting with their top generals and make a plan for stopping Seth. Once the plan is enacted, Seth reveals that he is truly Dark Force. Orakio and Laya set their final, desperate contingency plan into action. The plan includes the stationing of Lune and Alair on Dahlia, one of Alisa III's artificial moons; Siren will be placed on Azura, the other satellite of Alisa III. Layalyn is stationed in a secret area beneath Aridia. Miun is put near the Aridian town of Hazatak, to act as a guardian for Layalyn and the satellite control system. Also, the tunnels between the domes of Alisa III are sealed. Though the cost of the plan is high, Orakio and Laya succeed in defeating Dark Force. However, they disappear during the fighting, and neither of them are ever seen again.

"On Fragile Ground"

With Dark Force and the leaders of both factions gone, the Devastation War begins to wind down. However, the fighting never completely stops in domes where Orakians and Layans coexist.

AW 1490 (SC 344.90)

Miun is severely damaged when she is caught in the crossfire of a battle between Layans and Orakians. The Moon Stone and Moon Tear, which Miun was to use to awaken Siren, Lune, and Alair when Dark Force next appeared, are lost, with one stone falling into the hands of each faction. Miun's mind is severely damaged and she begins to wander aimlessly, half-crazed.

AW 1528 (SC 345.28)

Miun stumbles upon the one Orakian town in Aridia dome and slaughters every resident, thinking them to be Layans who are holding Orakio captive.

On Alisa III, Princess Maia of Cille is sailing about the Aquatica Sea on her private boat. However, a sudden ice storm comes up and the boat is lost. When Maia awakens she has been brought via an underground channel to Landen Dome. She is also suffering from almost complete amnesia, remembering only her name and the fact that she is a princess. She is discovered on the beach amid planks of driftwood by Prince Rhys of Landen, and the two fall in love with each other at first sight. This happens despite the fact that, since childhood, Rhys has been engaged to the princess of Satera, whom he has never met.
