History of Primal Eden

 * Primal Eden - The third planet within the Alpha Draconis B star system, Primal Eden was first seen and documented under the name of "ADB-PHP-003" (Alpha Draconis B - Potentially-Habitable Planet - 003) by astronomers in the year 2068. ADB-PHP-003 was estimated to be at least 62.3% the size of Earth, yet containing an identical water and terrain coloration. Orbited by two moons, the colossal blue moon dubbed "Poseidon" and the smaller red moon named "Haemos". The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) had planned to send a rover and a manned spaceship, containing ten astronauts - five men and five women - in order to document the atmospheric conditions as well as surface conditions of the planet in order to determine as to whether or not Primal Eden was deemed habitable for human life. However, this mission was estimated to take approximately 167 years to complete; but NASA went through with it, hoping to discover as to whether or not this planet would be truly suitable for human life. In the year of 2238, a multi-trillionaire space exploration company known as the Expansive Galaxies Corporation would randomly detect the signal of the drone following picking up on the long-disbanded NASA's quest to gain information regarding the mysterious ADB-PHP-003. Soon enough, the Corporation would launch a manned probe to ADB-PHP-003 to pick up on these signals, believing that they originated from the mission to the planet that had occurred over a century-and-a-half ago. Sure enough, as the probe approached the vicinity of the planet's atmosphere, the signals transferred images to the probe, that were then redirected to the Expansive Galaxies Corporation Space Station, which displayed black and white grainy photographs of the terrain, flora, and fauna of ADB-PHP-003. What they discovered would completely shock them... the planet contained grassy plains and valleys, as well as lush forests, and contained an atmosphere with higher oxygen levels than those found on Earth. The planet was deemed habitable. However, the final image that had been transferred completely baffled the Corporation researchers: a grainy picture of giant jaws agape, preparing to bite down onto the rover. Following the discovery of living dinosaurs on the planet led to the Corporation officially naming the exoplanet "Primal Eden".
 * The Expansive Galaxies Corporation - Founded in 2226 by Swedish multitrillionaire Kristofer Blomberg, the Expansive Galaxies Corporation's goal was to discover and explore space in order to colonize planets suitable for human life. However, the Corporation's specialty not only was space exploration, but also acted as an entire government system outside of Earth, maintaining its own currency, as well as owning a massive space station suitable for human populational living, for those rich enough to afford it. The Corporation also contains a prison, where the prisoners are used as pioneers in order to colonize any planet deemed suitable for human life by the Corporation - in exchange for the freedom of the prisoner, as well as clearing their criminal records, no matter the severity of their crimes.
 * Human Pioneers on Primal Eden - The first human pioneers - Zachary Baden, Celeste von Lutz, Arthur Day-And-Night, and Redmond Bushwack - were sent individually via drop pods onto Primal Eden a few months following the official naming of Primal Eden. Their goal was to colonize the planet, as well as to eliminate any dangerous denizen that threatened the survival of human life on the planet. The Corporation would provide them supply drop crates, containing previous generation firearms and ammunition, as well as medical supplies in order to aid them in their conquest of clearing Primal Eden of its saurian inhabitants.
 * The Primitive Tribes of Primal Eden - To the surprise of the pioneers and unbeknownst to the Corporation, they had discovered primitive human tribes that had already been existing on the planet. Their origin was unknown, but they were believed by the pioneers to have been descendants of the astronauts that had been sent by NASA to the planet, living through simple and primitive means, using environmental resources to make their tools, clothing, and shelter. The primitive people also had the ability to speak English, albeit it was quite broken and unclear. It had been noted that the primitive people of Primal Eden consisted of two tribes: The Chop Chop Tribe and the Red Face Tribe. The Red Face Tribe was noted to be more likely to engage in friendly contact with the pioneers, while the Chop Chop Tribe was notably untrusting and hostile towards the pioneers.
 * The Chop Chop Tribe - The predominant tribesmen of Primal Eden consisted of the Chop Chop Tribe, whose range expanded from the middle to the Southern half of Primal Eden. It is unknown why they named themselves the "Chop Chop" Tribe, but it is heavily implied that it originated from the biting sounds of the larger theropod predators inhabiting the planet. They deified an individual Acrocanthosaurus, naming it "Chop Chop" after their tribe, as well as an individual Tyrannosaurus they named "Big Chop" after their chief camp on the large hill overlooking Raptor River.
 * The Red Face Tribe - A tribe that resided within the Northern half, as well as some parts of the Eastern half of Primal Eden, the Red Face Tribe was named so due to their tendency to consume raw meat over cooked meat. Despite their seemingly unsanitary eating habits, they were more well-spoken than individuals from the Chop Chop Tribe, and were more likely to engage in contact with the pioneers of Primal Eden, as well as introducing them to their culture. A unique copperhead Utahraptor named "Red Face" was named by them after their tribe.
 * Strange Metals - Despite containing most of the same elements present on Earth, Primal Eden contained strange, yet unique ore. The origins of these minerals are completely unknown, but Corporation researchers posted on the planet speculated that they were of extraterrestrial origin - of intelligent beings that weren't human.
 * Edenium - An uncommon, slightly radioactive ore with a turquoise and cyan coloring. Works as a substitute for uranium, serving the same purpose of fueling the nuclear-powered engines of the Expansive Galaxies Corporation Space Station.
 * Primalite - A durable metal that can be smelted into ingots or manufactured into parts for spacecraft engineering, working as a substitute for titanium.

 * Spinosaurus aegyptiacus -
 * Tyrannosaurus rex -
 * Sauroposeidon proteles -
 * Primal Tyrannosaurus (Tyrannosaurus imperatrix) - Name meaning "Tyrant lizard empress". Also known as "The Queen" or "Primal T. rex", the Primal Tyrannosaurus is an evolved variant of Tyrannosaurus rex with such mass that they are capable of hunting and bringing down Sauroposeidon. They are faster, meaner, and a lot more durable than their smaller tyrannosaur relatives. They are predominantly female, as male variations of the species have never been seen or documented by the pioneers of Primal Eden nor the Corporation. To follow, they have never been recorded traveling Primal Eden's landscape, making them the most elusive species on the planet. A split-open scent gland of an Alpha T. rex is the only way to attract a Primal Tyrannosaurus into the open. Class 9 weapons are highly recommended when taking on this monstrosity.
 * The Cataclysm of Death (Mortemdraco cataclysmos) - Name meaning "Cataclysmic death dragon". Also known as "The Overlord of Primal Eden" and "The Living Extinction", and rightly so. The Cataclysm of Death is a gigantic, flying, fire-breathing beast comparable to dragons from legends and folklore. Little is known about his origins, but what is known is that he is the most dangerous biological entity on Primal Eden. It is heavily believed that he is responsible for wiping out all of mankind on Primal Eden previous to the recent sending of pioneers to the planet by the Expansive Galaxies Corporation. The Corporation denies his existence, using the cover-up of starvation or disease having wiped out the last generation of Primal Eden pioneers. It is believed that human sacrifices occurred at the peak of Mt. Sisyphys in order to appease him to prevent him from destroying the planet, though it was believed that using a split-open scent gland of a Primal Tyrannosaurus would ruse the Cataclysm into rising from his slumber, seeing as if a challenger were threatening his reign of being the apex predator of Primal Eden. Being volcano-borne, the Cataclysm has a hide comparable to that of volcanic rock, rendering him completely resilient to all forms of conventional weaponry, with the exception of his soft wing membrane. Class 9 weapons are recommended when facing the Cataclysm, yet it's more than likely best to not even dare challenge him.
