Abel: One of the few survivors of the planet that was destroyed by the Yabeh Weapon System. While onboard the Eldridge Able came into contact with the Wave Existence inside of the Zohar Modifier. The Wave Existence gave Abel its power so one day he could destory Zohar so the Existence could ascend back to the higher dimension it came from. Abel had been searching for his mother when he made contact and wanted to be with her so when he made contact with the Existence it received a mother's will. It construced a woman using Kadamony to be with Abel but Deus transfored the woman into the original Miang.

Aveh: One of the two kingdoms of the Ignas continent. It is currently at war with the kingdom of Kislev. Aveh was losing the war with Kislev until the Gebler military force from Solaris began assisting Aveh with military support. It is located in the desert of Ignas and was founded by Roni Fatima five hundred years ago after the great war with Solaris.

Eldridge: A Philadelphia Class interstellar war ship. The Eldridge was sent to the planet destroyed by the Yabeh Weapon System to collect survivors and retrieve the weapon. Eldridge was to transport the weapon to an uninhabited planet but Deus realized what was happening and took control of the ship. The captain tried to regain control but could not. He then caused the ship to self destruct to protect the people of the universe from it but before he did a child named Abel had already made contact with the Wave Existence inside of the Zohar Modifier. It is interesting to note that Eldridge is the name of the small US Navy ship alleged to have been involved in the famed Philadelphia Experiment.

Gears: Human-shaped robots used for fighting. The source of the power that allows the Gears to operate is the Zohar Modifier.

Kislev: The second country on the continent of Ignas. Kislev is in the northern part of the continent. It was founded around five hundred years ago after the war with Solaris. Kislev has been at war with neighboring Aveh for hundreds of years but has currently gained the upper had in the war due to better resources found in the ruins in Kislev's borders.

Yabeh Weapon System: Said to have been created by the humans during the Cosmos War. The Yabeh system's main component was called Deus and its power source was the Zohar Modifier. During the initial test of the system Deus went out of control and connected to a higher dimension to attain more power. The resulting connection pulled the Wave Existence from the higher dimension and trapped it inside the Zohar Modifier. The power it got for the Wave Existence was too much and Deus went out of control and destroyed a colony planet before it shut down. The war ship Eldridge was sent to the planet to search the system and recover any surviors that were left.

Wave Existence: A being from a higher dimension. It was trapped inside the Zohar Modifier during the initial test of the Yabeh Weapon System. It is responsible for the energy that powers the Gears and people's ether abilities.

Zohar Modifier: A monolith[?]-shaped object that was found on Earth in the year 2001. The scientists that studied it discovered that it was capable of producing almost infinite amounts of energy. In the year T.C. 4767 it was made into the power source of the Yabeh Weapon System. In Episode V the Zohar Modifier is responsible for the ether power that the people of the world use and is the main power source of all the Gears in the world.
