So you've heard mention of Zenebas before! Now for those who don't know anything about it, you get to learn a few key points concerning Zenebas according to the Zoids Battle Story!

This bulleted summary was written up by Tilly, so thank her! =3

arrow The Zenebas Empire was formed (in ZAC 1978?) when Zenebas Muroa split away from the Helic Republic as led by his brother, Helic II, and fell when absorbed by Guylos in ZAC 2049. Zenebas himself was aggressive and obsessed with defeating his brother, though many of his forces didn't share his fanatacism.

arrow The Prozen versus Camford conflict in the new line is parallel to the original: Prozen is Zenebas' son and wishes to revive his Empire (Neo Zenebas), while Camford is actually Zenebas' daughter, Elena, who took charge of the Republic after Helic in attempt to unite the various sides. Yes, that means both Wolff (Prozen's son) and Hermann are related to Zenebas too and thus (sort of) royalty.

arrow One likely reason Prozen was able to pull off the Neo Zenebas thing? The Guylos Empire was able to absorb the Zenebas lot by betraying them, kidnapping Elena, and generally being not very nice - thus, Prozen was able to capitalize on their suffering and general anger towards both Guylos and Republic forces, using it to rally them to his cause.

arrow Zenebas-y Zoids tend to be more armored than Helic ones, and thus a bit more compact. They're also more organic, though not so muh as the Dark Zoids. Red and silver are common colors, often with black or brownblack, and "eyes" are usually red and sometimes green or smoke. Good examples would be Red Horn, Death Saurer, and Molga.

arrow Metal flake red seems to be a color of Zenebas royalty. Note the Iron Kong Mk.II Limited (which Zenebas may have piloted), the Bloody Death Saurer (Prozen's), and red Energy Liger (Wolff's).

Excited yet? o__o Discuss the Zenebas!

Zenebas himself was nasty...and he seemed to know where things were leading but pressed forward anyway. Pondering what drives a person like that is interesting - much more interesting than wondering what drives "omg take over the world". *flicks away curious plotbunnies* I've got too many of you, go away.

The faction itself has lots of my favorite characters - and a lot of devoted types, most of which met unpleasant fates, enough that I've seen Japanese fansites joking about it. I dunno if Camford counts, I'll say she does.

mmm, metal flake red...

It may have been nice to include Zenebas factions in an anime, maybe not CC/GF, but...it's something that's intriguing, and deserves more spotlight than just a few manga and the model boxes (that's all that it shows on, right? o.o).

I'd have love to see them stick Zenebas-ness in the anime, CC/GF... I think it would have added a deeper level of story and really made things WTF and fun in an almost trippy way. I dunno... it's a lot to take in, but I also like stuff like that... something that makes you think and learn more about some of the characters motives. =3

Zenebas got tons of old (and new) fanbooks going into depth regarding the box stuff...but all but a few little bits are in Japanese.

Someday, I will be able to properly read them as opposed to flailing!

I really should figure out what happens with the Neo Zenebas crushing the Helic in the NJR, at the least I have the beginning of it.

But yeah, I rather like the Zenebas. Would've been nice to have them set up so that they didn't suffer from "They're an empire, empire = bad" kinda thing though. You don't really get any other impressions just from the surface stuff which most people don't try to get through. Zenebas and Guylos (the people) are both downright nasty though.

There's a bit of battle story summary on the Zoids wikipedia entry... I was too tired to go through it though, I don't know what it has to add to this... uh...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoids#Battle_Story_plot_summary

I should try poking the Japanese Zoids entries sometime...
