Background Information
-a translated section from Photosphere-



There was a change of era. The omens of change had gradually manifested themselves from the time toward the end of the last century. But, as is the case in any era, it was be considerably later before people became aware of this vast transition in the context of their daily life.

What form did this epilogue - epilogue to an age where state-level politics and judicature were at the apex of the power structure - take? How did the economic might of multinational corporations similar to those of today gain effective dominion over this world? The creation of the transnational economic co-operative now known as USEA (Eusia) is inextricably linked to these events. In the ongoing cycle of transnational merger and acquisition revelry, as company upon company attempted to ride out a recession or gain access to a new market, the age at length gave life to a corporate monstrosity, General Resource, that was almost a living entity, like a giant assimilating amoeba. Little by little, ‘it’ gnawed away the political and judicial framework throughout USEA (Eusia). You see, there was no meaning to be found in borders and sovereign currencies for a multinational corporation with planetary-scale intelligence networks and economic capacity. In due course, ‘it’ created an internal post aimed at the autonomous defense of USEA (Eusia) and employed armed personnel. So it was that the world accepted this new authority, and the transition was complete. Or so it seemed…

But the quickening - of an existence perhaps best described as a new genius of will; a cell divided from the very body of ‘it’ controlled. It was in a world of information networks created by the billions of terminals that ‘it’ had scattered - a space spun of optical telecommunications, which ‘it’ so ironically named the ‘electrosphere’.

The future is now.

There are three players in this beckoning cold war period, set in the two realities of USEA (Eusia) and the Electrosphere: General Resource, which dominates through its long-established and monolithic economic power; Neucom, which continues to increase its strength through innovate technology and new information capacity; and the UPEO, which has continued, after reinventing itself, to pursue its mandate for peace keeping from the end of the last century.

Meanwhile, one man desires chaos.

I would post it the Ace Combat 3 General Information section since its dealing with the Electroshphere.

Hm. That's one idea.

I forgot to mention that this is from the Photosphere, BTW.

[Ribbon-Rena]

You actually written the English written there? It was so small.. Readable though...

Place it.. A new thread inside AC3IC?

Article moved from Information Branch to AC3IC.

Can someone make a higher resolution scan of Photosphere. While I really appreciate the fact that someone uploaded it, the current resolution is barely readable. I remember almost two years ago someone had posted the photosphere at a VERY high rez, in the thousands IIRC, what happened to that? Thanks anyway.
