Based on the history of the "Commander Land" universe, the story of this series begins in the year 184 of the Kaldor Era. This date is based on an in-story calendar that clearly divides the events of the series' world into two parts: before and after the reign of Kaldor the Crimson.
| Period (In-Universe) | Key Event | Central Figure | Impact on the World |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pre-Kaldor Era | The reign of the benevolent King Voltaris and an age of justice. | Voltaris Electric Skeleton | Prosperity and justice. |
| Beginning of the Kaldor Age | Kaldor the Crimson, grandfather of Zarog Khan, began a new era through conquest and tyranny, dividing history in two. | Kaldor the Crimson | The beginning of an age of oppression and darkness. |
| Year 184 of the Kaldor Age (Series Start) | White Taha stands against the tyranny of Zarog Khan (Kaldor's grandson) and establishes the Jedi Order. | White Taha and Zarog Khan | The beginning of the great confrontation between light and darkness. |
Understanding the In-Universe History: What is the "Kaldor Age"?
The concept of the "Kaldor Age" is key to understanding this world's history. Upon seizing power, Kaldor the Crimson declared a new calendar with his reign as its epoch, signifying that his rule marked the start of a completely new era. Therefore, when it's said the story takes place in "Year 184 of the Kaldor Age," it means nearly two centuries have passed since the beginning of the brutal, dynastic rule of Zarog Khan's lineage. This timeline alone speaks to the prolonged and harsh conditions of oppression in this land.
Two Contrasting Historical Periods
The in-universe history of "Commander Land" is structured around a great dichotomy:
-
The Pre-Kaldor Era (Age of Voltaris): In this period, a king named Voltaris Electric Skeleton ruled, renowned for his justice and benevolence, symbolizing the light.
-
The Post-Kaldor Era (Age of Kaldor): With the rise of Kaldor the Crimson, this age of justice ended. He killed Voltaris and established a dynasty of tyrannical rulers, culminating in the character of Zarog Khan (Kaldor's grandson). All advanced technology introduced to this world by scientists from other planets (like the planet Topinor) is monopolized by Zarog Khan and used to consolidate his power.
The Historical Texture of the Story
The world of "Commander Land" has a composite setting that deepens this history:
-
Ancient Beliefs, the Force, and Magic: This world is rooted in ancient myths and beliefs, with supernatural forces (like the power of the Jedi) being an integral part of it.
-
The Emergence of Technology: Simultaneously, sparks of emerging technology have appeared with the arrival of scientists from other worlds, but this technology has become a tool for suppression rather than societal advancement.
This intelligent combination provides a rich backdrop for narrating the perpetual conflict between good and evil, justice and oppression, and light and darkness.
Summary
The history of "Commander Land" is a tale of the fall of an age of justice and the prolonged onset of a tyrannical rule.
Note: As this franchise is designed as a long-term project (planned with 3 main seasons), more dimensions of its complex history, geography, different schools of the Force, and the destinies of its dozens of unique characters will be gradually revealed throughout the narrative. Its history is subject to change and expansion.
