== History == ===Lost Jerusalem Era=== The Zohar was excavated in 20XX at [[Lake Turkana]] in Kenya by a group of scientists led by [[Masuda|Dr. Masuda]] and funded by [[Vector Industries]]. It was shipped to Toronto, Canada for analysis by Vector where it was discovered that it released large quantities of energy when influenced by particular brainwaves. The Chief of Vector's Zohar Research Department, [[Grimoire Verum]], created a Zohar control program called [[Lemegeton]] using fragments of an ancient language that had been unearthed with the Zohar. During a control experiment, the Zohar went out of control, causing a disappearance phenomena that began with the disappearance of [[Nephilim]], a participant in the experiment, and expanded to cause all of [[Lost Jerusalem|Earth]] to eventually disappear in a space-time anomaly. ===Immigrant Fleet & Abraxas=== Several groups of people were able to escape from Earth, one of which had possession of the Zohar. This group came to be known as the [[Immigrant Fleet]], largely united by the [[Ormus]] religious order who considered themselves to be the protectors of the Zohar. They eventually settled on a planet called [[Abraxas]]. In the T.C. 4000s, the Immigrant Fleet encountered another group of descendants of Earth, now know as the [[Galaxy Federation]]. The cultures of the two groups had diverged sufficiently in that time to make integration difficult and the Immigrant Fleet's possession of the much-coveted Zohar did not ease matters, resulting in conflicts between the two. Abraxas did eventually join the Federation, though conflicts over the sovereignty of Abraxas and control of the Zohar continued into the 4600s. Ormus, as the core of the Immigrant Fleet government, had constructed the [[Isolated Research Facility]] to continue research on the Zohar and on the underground ruins present on Abraxas. [[Archon Cathedral]] was built above these laboratories to facilitate worship of the Zohar for the general populace. One such religious ceremony was the [[Pilgrimage Meeting]] which was held to open the door to Lost Jerusalem and to display the current [[Patriarch]]'s connection with the Zohar. In the mid-4600s, Patriarch [[Julius XVIII]] began advocating a new policy: peacefully sharing the Zohar with the Federation. An internal power struggle ensued and Future Patriarch [[Sergius XVI]] worked with [[U.M.N.]] terrorist [[Voyager]] to have Julius XVIII assassinated. Sergius hoped to use the power of the Zohar to take back control of Abraxas. However, in T.C. 4667, Voyager's terrorism act at the Pilgrimage Meeting activated the Zohar and caused the disappearance of those present. The Federation then increased surveillance of Abraxas, fearing another Zohar incident, and eventually Abraxas came under the full authority of the Federation. It was renamed Michtam. As part of the Federation's Zohar Research Project on Michtam, Vector sponsored the creation of the [[Cerebral Sciences Research Center]] sub-division. This laboratory focused on "cerebral neurology and phenomena physics". In time, a failed Zohar experiment run under the purview of the Federation caused a [[Gnosis]] swarm to descend upon Michtam, destroying it. ===Old Miltia=== The Zohar research facilities were moved to a majority Immigrant Fleet-populated planet, [[Miltia]], where similar facilities had been previously constructed. Dr. Joachim Mizrahi, a senior researcher on the Zohar project and founder of the Cerebral Sciences Research Center, relocated to Miltia as well. Aided by the former Ormus government in secret, Mizrahi stood up new Zohar experiments and Gnosis research under the newly-created [[U-TIC Organization]] in the complex known as [[Labyrinthos]]. Meanwhile, Mizrahi continued to research Zohar control programs and architected two Zohar control systems—the [[Song of Nephilim]] and the [[U-DO System]]—using fragments of the Lemegeton program preserved by Vector. During this time [[Proto Ω]] was subjected to multiple linkage tests with the Zohar. Additional Zohar control tests involved patients at the [[Acute Neurosis Treatment Facility]] and the creation of [[transgenic-type]] [[Realians]]. [[Proto Merkabah]] was constructed as a mass-production facility for specialized Realians, using Gnosis gathered with the Song of Nephilim to harness power from the Zohar. As U-TIC developed, the [[Hyams]] corporation replaced Vector in funding the [[Zohar Project]] research. ====Sealing of Old Miltia==== The U-TIC organization had been secretly planning to use the power of the Zohar to reclaim Ormus' independence from the Federation. With Mizrahi's successes, the Federation government had become concerned about the increased monopolization of the Zohar by descendants of the Immigrant Fleet. The Federation asked U-TIC to turn over Mizrahi to them; when they refused, the Federation began descent operations on Miltia to try to apprehend Mizrahi and the secrets of the Zohar. The third descent operation ended in disaster for Miltia when [[27-Series Asura|poorly-calibrated combat Realians]] killed the parents of a young [[Shion Uzuki|girl]]. When she screamed in anguish, due to her [[Maiden of Mary|role in the universe]], she resonated with [[U-DO]], activated the Zohar, and opened a door between real and imaginary space, allowing the Gnosis to flood in. When Mizrahi realized that the Gnosis phenomenon would spread to the rest of space, he cut off Miltia from the U.M.N. and forced the untuned Song of Nephilim into overload, creating the [[Abyss]] and effectively sealing away the Zohar in Labyrinthos. === Post-Miltian Conflict === The Federation government created the [[Contact Subcommittee]] in T.C. 4754 to continue the Zohar Project and recover the Zohar sealed on Old Miltia. The U-TIC organization and Ormus also began seeking a way to recover the Zohar to enable the return to Lost Jerusalem.
