BATTLE STORY
UNIVERSE
The "Battle Story" is an umbrella term for a variety of
stories in different media, including books, catalogues and model kit
boxes. These stories form the history of Planet Zi (originally Planet
Zoid) and the wars between Zoidians, particularly the Helic Republic,
Zenebas Empire and Guylos Empire. Most Zoids storylines (including
the Chaotic Century anime) are based on the Battle Story universe to
some extent.

colonists. Most media released after 2010 has been set in the Concept
Art universe.
