Now my next RPG I will probably run is a blending of the two series. This might seem like blasphemy for some, even for myself at some point in the past, honestly I think I can make it work and here is how
Key
Themes for this. While I develop this aspects of these notes will change in
order to make sense. I will maintain this sheet with strikeouts for personal
reasons. I want to see where I started and where I ended up.

Zor, a scientist for the Protoculture
Masters is on the harvest world of Optera and has fallen in love with the Queen
of the Invid.
o
The Flower of Life is able to transform the
Invid at the cellular level and has also been known to give off a Hyperspace
Fold Signature. Something the Protoculture finds fascinating.
§
The Invid are able to do this using an indigenous
plant native to their homeworld called the Flower of Life, itself another
lifeform that lives in symbioses with the Invid.
o
It is in the end days of the Protoculture's
Star Republic that Zor has worked with the Invid Queen in developing the means
to ending their suffering.
o
Zor uses a captured Supervision Army Gun Boat as
his personal research facility. (Using this ship as a research vessel is echoed
unbeknownst to the UN Government during the Colonial Expansion of the
Human/Zentradi alliance decades later using an updated version of this vessel)
·
The Protoculture is obsessed with this species
and its ability to alter its evolution to suit its environment.
o
At one time the Protoculture were explorers and
scientists and explored the galaxy. One of their early experiments was looking
at the Flower of Life and seeing it could have applications with their own
genetic experiments they were conducting, long before they discovered that the
Invid could evolve using the Flower of Life.
o
Discouraged in not being able to cultivate the
flower and transplant it onto other worlds all was not lost in that it did help
them advanced their genetic engineering skills and lead to the development of
the Zentradi.
o
initially to the Protoculture the Invid were
nothing more than slugs. Unintelligent and not worthy of a second glance.
·
The Invid first encountered the Protoculture
Eon's ago when they first visited their planet.
o
This encounter would doom the Invid in the
future with their own obsession in seeking the perfect form. The Invid were
simple lifeforms that lived with the flower of life. At this time the Invid
were a collective conscience no desires for individuals no need for a king or
queen all was about the flower. They were subservient to it. The Protoculture
would change that.
o
Coming into contact with the Protoculture would
unlock a few individuals to develop a sense of individuality. These beings appeared angelic to them, the
ultimate perfection, yet in their current state they could not retain what it
was about them that made them think this.
·
The Zentradi were the results of the
Protoculture's genetic engineering, There were hostile species in the galaxy
and the Protoculture were not warriors.
o
They created them with limited skill sets, made
them dependant on the technology their masters created for them to help them
defend the Republic and to fight the wars that the Protoculture deemed necessary.
o
Culture was denied them. Combat was the life of
Zentradi, to reinforce this Males and Females were separated into two
divisions. Rivalry was common and encouraged by the handlers of the fleets.
·
Protoculture is the first humanoid species in
the galaxy.
o
The Protoculture did not just create the
Zentradi they experimented elsewhere as well. Humans were one result.
o
The certain technologies of the Protoculture
were inspired from various sources of the galaxy.
§
Genetics from the Invid
§
Fold Engines, Super Dimensional Weaponry and
transformable machinery inspired by the Varja
o
The inheritors of the Protoculture would be the
Masters.
o
Eventually various factors lead to the downfall
of the Protoculture.
§
Civil War - The Supervision Army (Masters?)
§
The Zentradi
§
The Invid

(Supervision Army Gunboat)
o

o
Rebuilt by the Micronians (Humans of Earth)
o
Crashes on Earth 1999
o
The reason the United Nations forges ahead to
form a world government.
·
Earth
o
Visited by the Protoculture early in their
explorations. Listed as having potential but insignificant for their goals.
They make some changes to genetic codes of several species but move on.
o
During the war with the Supervision Army and the
devastating numbers the Protoculture loses they begin the Seeding Project.
o
Earth is seeded by

The Robotech Masters
o
Protoculture who were altered by the Flower of
Life.
o
They used the Flower pollen as a narcotic
originally
o
The Masters learn to harness the life force of
the flower to extend their lives.
o
The life force is part of the cloning process, necessary
to extend their lives. The original clones were flawed. The power of three (The
Triumvirate) becomes the missing catalyst.
