The World of Fate/EX (EXTRA世界, Ekusutora Sekai?)[1] is the world line in which the Fate/EX series takes place, centering around the existence of the Moon Cell.

Setting[]

The world of Fate/EX shares the same events at that of Fate/stay night up until a certain point until a "certain major incident" in the 1970s that caused the world's mana to start drying up causes it to split off into its own separate universe. As of the 2030s, the world's mana was completely gone.[1][2]

History[]

In 1970, a ritual performed in a certain city in England sets off the depletion of the Earth's Magical Energy filling its atmosphere, its mana.[1][3] The details are unclear,[4] only that the ritual, called Overcount 1999,[5] happened earlier than it should have.[6] According to Twice H. Pieceman, the planet's soul, its core, was hurt, resulting in the power for life to go on being removed from the World.[7][5]

A consequence of the Mana Depletion is that it resulted in a movement in the Earth's crustWP of planetary proportions that caused a pole shiftWP, an event later called the Great Collapse (大崩壊, Daihōkai?).[3] Due to the Great Collapse, the Earth's natural resources ran dry and ran out, resulting in reduction of industrial production, and many countries went bankrupt and collapsed.[8][9][10] Oil was mostly exhausted and its use became regulated, resulting in the oil countries in the Middle East to lose the power they once held.[8] In addition to that, outbreaks of natural disasters and biohazards occurred in great numbers.[8][9][10]

Among the countries affected, the United States of America became a failed state and a lawless land. Certain persons of interest fled to South America and planned to reorganize, but were met with opposition from the indigenuous South Americans and driven into a corner. The various Asian countries are constantly engaged in skirmishes over resources, as are the Middle Eastern countries.[11] Julius B. Harwey speaks of a "Great War" but no further details are given. What is known is that what followed it were regional conflicts where, instead of armies, attacks in ever greater numbers are being carried out by terrorists.[12] In 1999, a horrible infectuous neurological disease broke out in a city located in the Far East,[13] the Amnesia Syndrome (アムネジア・シンドローム, Amunejia Shindorōmu?).[14] Based on the available evidence, the cause of the outbreak was a biological weapon created by terrorists. According to records made available to the public, the death toll was set at 5,000 people, but it actually was at 8,200.[13] With this disaster, Japan fell into anarchy and became a ruined country.[11] The societal system, along with most cities, got destroyed and people started scattering all over the wasteland.[15] The Western European Plutocracy provided aid to those looking to leave Japan as refugees once it became a failed state,[11] to the point that someone like Kazuhito Sakagami, born of two Japanese parents after the collapse of the Japanese state, never once set foot there.[16]

This global catastrophe results in a massive loss of life.[17] By the year 2000, humanity's population had been reduced to two thirds of its original size,[8][9][10] and by 2030, the earth's population has decreased to about half of the real world's population.[11]

All these events precipitates the rise of the Western European Plutocracy, led by the Harwey family. At a very early stage, they predicted that the world's resources would run dry and gained control of the Arctic as a solution, where a new energy source was found and could be mined. Due to this advantage, they quickly became owners of 30% of the world's lands,[18] and 60% of the world's wealth based on GDP.[19] The Western European Plutocracy did not become a dictatorship despite its unprecedented power, but instead declared to all that it would manage and distribute the remaining resources to ensure the survival of mankind, as they helped not only Europe but everyone around the world.[8] It made strict resource utilization agreements and formed alliances with 48 (originally 45) developed countries, creating the North Earth Resource Organization (北半球資源機構, Kitahankyū Shigen Kikō?) (NERO) in 2015, with its main goals being to strictly limit the excavation and utilization of earthly and lunar resources. Since most of the countries in the Northern Hemisphere had joined it, this meant all resource excavation activities on Earth would be under its control and the member countries would de facto be governed by the Western European Plutocracy.[20] Under the direction of the West Europe Plutocracy, cities around the world created an ideal system of city management known as Farm (ファーム, Fāmu?)[21] or Firm (ファーム, Fāmu?)[22] which eliminated most poverty and strife, with the Plutocracy ushering in a new era of city-nations and striving to promote universal acceptance of refugees regardless of race.[8]

The Plutocracy also put a freeze on all technology, especially aerospace industry and space-related technology development.[8][23][20] The Harwey family has always restricted new technology as they believe that technical progress is unnecessary.[24] Proclaiming "Mankind has no need for further technological advancement in this area," the Plutocracy aimed to refine and regulate the management of society.[8] Despite there being a slow trickle of advancement and new technology, no genius talent has appeared with a breakthrough.[23] There are cell phones and smartphones,[11] and there are even more advanced technologies such as cryonicsWP,[13] cloning,[25] and nanotechnology to cure diseases,[26] but by and large new discoveries, scientific breakthroughs, even space travel have all come to a standstill.[17] Quantum computing notably was halted, replace by cloud computing.

In opposition to the Western European Plutocracy rose the Resistance, based in the Middle East.


In 1973, the Moon Cell was discovered, after which everyone tried to claim it as their own and so the Harweys put a stop to any attempt at landing on the moon.[24]

    The world of EXTRA [Circumstances]
    “The minds of people became used to being managed and regulated, and civilization stagnated. There are no great tragedies, however there are also no new discoveries. Everyone is pessimistic in this flavorless world where you can only await death. This is our “reality”.”

    Fate/EXTRA is set on Earth in 2030.
    The world of EXTRA differs from that of Fate/Stay Night in that it has a different time line and events starting from 1970. History took a different path.
    Mana, the energy required to carry out large scale magic, has dried up, and real magic has been lost from Earth.
    The magicians of old have disappeared from center stage, and the era of magic has drawn to a complete close.
    From then on those who called themselves “Magus” came to represent Spiritron Hackers, a new generation of mankind.

    Mana Depletion [Circumstances]
    Overcount 1999. In 1970, a ritual performed in a certain local city in England in 1970 set off the depletion of the Earth's magic energy filling its atmosphere.
    It caused a pole shift, a crustal movement of global magnitude later to be called the Great Collapse.
    Having survived through two periods of decline – the end of the Age of Gods and the beginning of the AD calendar – magecraft finally became a fairy tale of the past.
    In the EXTRA world, all that remains of the old world magi are the Atlasian alchemists of Egypt.

    A mysterious phrase, mentioned by Twice.

    Per a decisive depletion of resources, the era where began the decline of human.

    Its cause is unclear.

    The resources of the Earth, theoretically beyond the consumption of man, came to depletion; the capacity by which life could be sustained was from the World lost.

    Upon its Core -- what could be called its very soul -- did the Earth sustain damage; or so he stated, but...

    World situation [Circumstances]
    On the surface it is a calm and gentle world,
    But it is in fact a world that is facing its final curtain call.

    Starting with the Great Collapse (the pole shift) that occurred in 1970, human civilization declined due to a sudden lack of resources, coupled with the reduction of industrial production, a continuous stream of nations faced bankruptcy and failure.
    Compounded with the effects of the Great Collapse, numerous biohazard zones caused by natural disasters appeared, and by the year 2000 the population of the Earth was only two-thirds of what it once was.
    Oil was mostly exhausted, and its use became regulated. With this the Arab oil countries lost the power they once held.
    Mankind turned to develop a new energy frontier: the North Pole. However the rights to the North Pole were mostly held by the West Europe Plutocracy (Harwey’s Plutocracy), and the Plutocracy came to be the defacto owners of 30% of the world.
    The West Europe Plutocracy did not act like a cruel dictatorship, and declared to all that it would manage and distribute the remaining resources to ensure the survival of mankind, so they helped not only Europe but everyone around the world. The Plutocracy ushered in a new era of city-nations and strove to promote universal acceptance of refugees regardless of race.
    Under the direction of the West Europe Plutocracy, cities around the world created an ideal system of city management which eliminated most poverty and strife.
    The result: advanced technology became focused in the western part of the Eurasian continent. Countries that were suffocating from poverty were given resource assistance, and the Plutocracy continued to expand its umbrella of influence. This is when Harwey, as head of the Plutocracy, effectively gained enough power to be considered the ruler of the world.
    Alongside its management of cities, the Plutocracy also put a freeze on all space-related technology development.
    Proclaiming, “Mankind has no need for further technological advancement in this area.” the Plutocracy aimed to refine and regulate the management of society.

    Meanwhile hostilities between West Europe and Islam intensified, and there was endless conflict.
    Islamic countries blamed their downfall on the “machine-like management of cities and resources” and prepared to relentlessly fight back against the factions of West Europe.
    However, the Islamic countries were losing their identity as nations, and were unable to continue fighting back properly, so they were resigned to just using guerrilla warfare. It is said that the Islamic resistance will be driven back and defeated in about 5 years.

    世界情勢【事柄】
    それは穏やかでありながら、
    いずれ訪れる終末を受け入れた世界。

    1970年代に発生した大崩壊[ポールシフト]を皮切りに、急速な資源不足から人類の生活圏は減衰、産業の縮小もあいまって破産、破綻する国家が続出した。
    二次災害的な自然災害、バイオハザードも多発し、2000年には地球の総人口は三分の二にまで激減。
    石油資源は枯渇し、使用を制限され、アラブ諸国はかつての力を失った。
    人類は新たなエネルギー採掘地・北極圏の開発に乗り出すが、その支配権の大部分は西欧(ハーウェイをはじめとする財閥)にあり、事実上、彼らは地球の30%を手にする事になった。
    西欧財閥は独裁者にはならず、よき指導者として資源を管理し、ヨーロッパだけではなく地球人類全体の存続に努める事を宣言。人種を問わない難民の受け入れに努め、新時代の都市国家を形成した。
    西欧財閥の管理下にある地域では貧困、紛争はなく、理想的な都市運営がなされる事になった。
    結果、先進的な文明圏はユーラシア大陸西部に集中。以後は貧困にあえぐ国々に資源援助を行い、傘下に納めながら拡大していった。ハーウェイを筆頭とする西欧財閥が地球の指導権を握った瞬間である。
    西欧財閥は都市を管理しながらも宇宙開発に関わる技術進歩をすべて凍結。
    “人類にこれ以上の技術躍進は必要ない”とし、徹底した管理社会を目指している。

    その一方、西欧圏とイスラム圏との対立はより激化し、紛争は絶えない。
    イスラム圏は西欧財閥の『機械的な都市管理・資源管理』を非難し、徹底抗戦の構えに入っている。

    が、国としてのカタチを失いつつあるイスラム圏ではゲリラ的な戦いしか続けられず、彼らが西欧財閥に駆逐されるまであと五年ほどと言われている。

    Sakura: It is common knowledge that the West European Zaibatsu controls 60% of the modern world. Its directly-controlled territory of Western Europe is stable by means of a completely controlled society, and the aristocracy has come back into existence. In comparison, America has become a failed state and is quite frankly a lawless land. Certain persons of interest fled to South America and planned to reorganize, but were met with opposition from the South Americans and have been driven into a corner. The Middle East was still plagued by internal strife, and was unprepared for the seizure of Jerusalem by the West European Zaibatsu, throwing it into terrible panic. It was thought that the seizure of the religious foundation would lead to all-out war, but the Middle-Eastern countries no longer had the power to retake Jerusalem, and it was all they could do to unite to hold back the West European Zaibatsu's expansion at the borders.
    Archer: I see. So those are the circumstances in which Tohsaka Rin is helping the resistance in the Middle East.
    Sakura: Yes. By the way, Tohsaka-san's home ground is fairly close to the Atlas Institute where Rani-san lives.
    Saber: What of Asia, where my Maestro's home ground presumably lies? To what extent is the influence of the West European Zaibatsu?
    Sakura: The various Asian countries are constantly engaged in skirmishes over resources. Starting with a disaster at the end of the 20th century, Japan fell into anarchy and became a ruined country. The West European Zaibatsu, which extols management of human rights, apparently provides aid to those looking to leave Japan. Since resources are everything in this world, the Chinese considered it pointless to conquer a resourceless island country and left it alone, but the West European Zaibatsu considers human resources important too, and see Japanese people as a good resource, so they want to preserve their education level. Among them, Kishinami-san is... ah, no, this is a spoiler, so let's talk about this once the story has progressed a bit more.
    Caster: You mentioned resources, but the world is at war, right? In that case, can people really leisurely play games and such? Actually, how far has technology progressed? Wouldn't science and technology change as a result of war?
    Sakura: The technology, apart from space development technology having drastically halted, is about the same level as the real world. There are cell phones and smartphones as normal, and as evidenced by how Shinji-san is known as an online game champion, regions controlled by the West European Zaibatsu have a complete infrastructure set in place. However, the earth's population has decreased to about half of the real world's population. This is due to the war as well as the West European Zaibatsu controlling even the birth rate.
    Saber: I see. In that case, people are the same as cattle. I can understand why Tohsaka Rin has such antagonism towards Leo.

    Amnesia Syndrome [Disease name]
    Amnesia Syndrome is an infectious disease identified in the 21st century.
    It is a virus that violates nerves in the brain. Those infected with this disease gradually lose awareness of the boundary line between themselves and other people. Ultimately they lose all awareness of their memories and it ends their lives.
    A large number of people have been infected, yet it still remains unclear how infection occurs. According to one theory the infection spreads through the collective unconsciousness of the people.

    In 1970, a treatment was being developed by a certain scientist, however he died and the research remained at a standstill for many years. In 2030 a vaccine was developed.

    アムネジア•シンドローム【病名】
    二十一世紀に確認された感染症。
    脳神経を犯すウイルス。感染者は自己と他人の境界が曖昧になり、最終的には記憶の認識さえ不可能になり生命活動を止めてしまう。
    多くの感染者を出したが、感染ルートは現在も解明されていない。一説によると集団無意識を同じくするものたちに感染していくという。

    1970年、ある科学者によって治療法が発見されるも彼の死で一時研究は頓挫。2030年、ワクチンが開発された。

    Western Europe Plutocracy [Organization]
    The economic organization headed by Harwey.
    Harwey is effectively the king on Earth in EXTRA.
    At a very early stage Harwey predicted that the world’s resources would run dry, and developed an unsuitably large fear of what might happen. He came up with the solution of carefully managing the north pole, and gave his undivided attention to it.
    The foundation of his organization had a lot of religious power, and it’s speculated that the Holy Church helped him out because a huge amount of financial resources soon gathered under Harvey.
    The defacto leader of the Holy Church in the world of EXTRA, Cardinal Laurentis, does have a good relationship with Harwey.

    Firm or Farm [Circumstances]
    This is the city management system implemented by the West Europe Plutocracy.
    It created a utopia without conflict.
    Or possibly a dystopia that has reduced the self-awareness of the people.
    In this harmonious city system the ruling class and worker class are clearly separated, and even if you are part of the ruling class your future is precisely managed.
    There is no racial discrimination, and treatment only differs based on actual ability.
    There is no stipulation that all humans are made equal, and it is deemed enough as long as people are equal within their group.
    This amounts to extreme racial discrimination, but this is one possible version of a perfect society.
    The West Europe Plutocracy subjugates any hostile forces on their mission to push forward and unify the planet under this system that they think is ideal.

    [v] Fate/EXTRA material - Encyclopedia: Frozen technology [Circumstances], p.172-173 [T]

    Frozen technology [Circumstances]
    This refers to how technology development has stagnated since 1970 due to restrictions and regulations enforced by the West Europe Plutocracy.
    Aerospace industry development is especially restricted. Despite there being a slow trickle of advancement and new technology, no genius talent has appeared with a breakthrough.
    Furthermore, the development of weapons has led to an extreme decrease in the availability of resources, which peaked in the year 2000.
    Another significant difference [in the alternate world of EXTRA] is that cyber attacks are a staple of war.
    The face of modern war is characterized by attackers using the network to destroy the management capabilities of cities and then they proceed to carry out primitive terrorist-style attacks. Ironically, cyber attacks don’t cost much and do no harm to the environment. It’s not too much to say that cyber warfare is environmentally friendly.

    技術凍結【事柄】
    1970年から技術進歩が滞っているのは、西欧財閥による規制行為とされている。
    航空技術、宇宙開発はその最たるもの。積み重ねられた技術の進歩は少しずつあるものの、ブレイクスルーを促す天才は現れない。
    また、兵器の進歩も資源が激減したため、2000年から頭打ちとなっている。
    戦争のメインが電脳戦になったというのも大きい。
    ネットワーク上から都市の運営機能を破壊し、後は原始的なテロ活動に移行する……というのがこの時代の戦争である。皮肉な話だが、コストもかからず環境も破壊しない電脳戦は地球に優しい戦争と言える。

    Velber [Circumstances]
    "Velber" is the name of the predatory Umbral Star, also known as the Harvest Star. Like a comet, it flies on a set orbit through space, passing through the Milky Way galaxy once every 14,000 Earth years.
    Its appearance resembles a crying eye.
    It destroys all intelligent civilizations in its path, and in doing so, it consumes all digital data within reach.
    The last time it passed through Earth's orbit, it annihilated virtually all sentient life on the planet, and plundered 80% of the Moon Cell's data.
    It is thought to be a product of the same alien civilization that created the Moon Cell, although its form and purpose are obviously very different.
    The true motive of the Umbral Star remains unclear, but during its previous attack on Earth, the Moon Cell did get a chance to analyze its structure.
    Within Velber is a central part that could be considered its core, surrounded by layers of armor made of numerous "Arks of the Stars," individual space vessels.
    If one considers the main body of Velber to be its central core, the surrounding portions are its self-made invasion weapons. Each layer of armor has its own distinct means of annihilating civilizations.
    Velber's form strikes an optimal balance between offense and defense, and it has utilized that balance to wage victorious war against all sentient life in its path for eons.
    The Ark of the Stars that carried the "White Titan" Altera to Earth was only one of three Arks that came to Earth in the previous cycle.
    The other two, the "Big Brother" and "Little Sister" of Altera, are not mentioned in this game.

    ヴェルバー【事柄】
    捕食遊星。収穫の星(ハーヴェストスター)。一万四千年周期で天の川銀河に現れる葺星。
    その姿は「涙する目」のように見える。
    通過の際、知的生命体の文明を破壊する。
    地球にも一度通過しており、その時はムーンセルの八割のデータを破壊していった。
    ムーンセルを作った異星文明人たちが残した、違うタイプの観測装置だと言われている。
    その目的はいまだ判明していないが、構造自体は渦去の捕食の際、ムーンセルに解析されている。
    ヴェルバーには中心核とも言える遊星部分があり、その周囲を複数の星舟が覆っている。星舟を重ねて作ったアーマーを着こんでいる……とイメージすると分かりやすい。
    中心にある核をヴェルバーの本体だとすると、その周囲を囲む遊星部分はヴェルバーによって作られた様々な侵略兵器――――様々な侵略方法(文明)を持つ複合星舟装甲と言える。
    この姿こそ、様々な文明を捕食してきたヴェルバーによる自衛・侵略の最適解なのだろう。
    「白い巨神」であるアルテラは一万四千年前に太陽系に落ちた三つの星舟の一つにすぎない。
