The Metaverse is a dimension out of our own time line, in which the curse of history has been different, caused by the absence of the Fate-Changing Forerunner Droch'ah, until his sudden apparition in 3323, menacing an undefended "Meta-Galaxy" were before, there were no reason that made the Mercenary Clans to be created. In the summertime of 3323, the Craftsmen from the Metaverse oppened a Gateway in seek of help from our Galaxy.

In the summer of 3323 a disturbance was detected in Tremulus (Pirate Moon), being the cause of diverse phenomena that disturbed the use of the Gateway in that corner of the Cogwerk space.
Door to the Unknown
After some months, the irregular bulb of energy had hatched in the form of a Gateway, the largest known, even larger than any other Forerunner had planted our galaxy, whose envelope had a hexagonal shape of nearly 25 meters in diameter and one Surface in the passing veil whose surface presented a swirling turbulence of concave spherical spiral with a dark crimson coloration and streaks of violet smoke, unlike the usual silver color of our Gateway.
The Contact
After several exploration drones were sent, the Craftsmen announced shocking news after reaching their counterparts on the other side:
Metaverse is an alternate timeline where mercenary clans have never existed because Droch´ah had never before posed a threat to them, until 2332, when the Forerunner made a temporary jump in the Metaverse, ready to enslave the mankind and resurrect the Forerunner race.
As son as the terrible menace was detected, the Meta-Craftsmen opened various gates to different alternative time lines in the hope to contact any available help, contacting our dimension through their counterparts.
Beyond Courage and Fear
In order to travel to this time line to fight the Meta-Droch'ah menace and his Meta-League of Ages, only the psyche of the pilots can enter since no matter can travel physically through the barrier that separates the time lines.
The Craftsmen on the other side prepared clones that would receive as host the experienced pilots, who would lose some of their memories and memory, but who were expected to maintain intact qualities such as mental patterns capable of successfully verifying a connection with the AIs of the Mechs of that universe as well as evolve rapidly and become elite riders again at a time well above the local riders. Also, they would have scarce initial resources, provided by the Craftsmen on the other side, but once again, it is estimated that the capabilities of the pilots will allow them to break through and assemble a strong contingent capable of opposing the power of the Forerunner and its League of the ages.
Campaign in the Unknown (September 3323)
The Craftsmen from the Galaxy and those from the Metaverse promised great rewards to the Mercenary venturing in their support, and many offered volunteer, even without rewards, for the sake of have another opportunity to defeat Droch'ah one more time.
The Dragon CIC Scott Abbott and one of his commanding officers, Cmdr. Joshua Bourne, took the lead of the mercenary forces during the trials of the first expedition on the Metaverse, also known as "Metaverse Zero".
After the Mercenary clans sent several elite pilots through the unknown, in the aim to help the Metaverse against the Forerunner menace of their "meta-Droch'ah", the expeditionary forces noticed a great instability, being forced to retreat until the "Meta-Craftsmen" could open a new and more stable Gateway, that was known as "Metaverse One".
There were two attempts to prepare the necessary defense force, the first one got disturbed by Droch'ah´s viral attacks to the IA's controlling the Gate opened by the Metaverse Craftsmen. This first attempt is also known as Metaverse Zero.
Those pilots successful in the challenges during Metaverse Zero war preparative, were granted with a Guardian Mech by the Craftsmen.

Curiosities on Metaverse Zero.
1. League of Ages Hacking
Something never seen before was the ability that Droch'ah's agents proved, by being able to disturb the signal oppened by the Gateway created by the Craftsmen from the Metaverse, in their search of help from our dimension. To counter this viral perturbation, the Craftsmen were forced to shut down the gateway and try to generate a new one, opening the "Metaverse One".
This need to retreat biased the preparations and made some pilots returning to rest and be ready for the incoming Metaverse One trial.
2. Confusion on KotMs
In the Inaugural KotM celebrated to train the pilots who joined the defense of the Metaverse, only two pilots joined Division One, while for some miss conception and lack of advice from the meta-Craftsmen organization, above 300 pilots joined the Second Division.
Anecdotal, those on First Division developed a slow training, while the Second Division allowed a brutal progress, with pilots reaching above the double of the training on those on Div One.
