The Earth Evacuation Plan was a United Nations project drafted in the late 2190s. It led to the creation of Project Izumo and, eventually, Program Yamato.
History[]
As the Great Garmillas War raged on, the Garmillas Empire's bombing of planet Earth forced the Earthling species to seek refuge in underground cities.[1] However, by the late 2190s, the contamination from the planet bombs began spreading to these facilities.[2] With the expansion of these underground cities becoming impossible, the only remaining option to ensure the survival of the people of Earth was to flee the planet altogether.[3]
In response, the United Nations drafted the Earth Evacuation Plan, which mandated that each administrative district construct a spacefaring vessel to evacuate its population. In the Far-East District, this initiative led to the development of Project Izumo, while the North American District started working on what would eventually become the battleship Arizona.[3]
In 2198, the UN made contact with Princess Yurisha of Iscandar, who provided Earth with the plans to develop a Wave Motion Engine. This engine would enable humanity to reach her homeworld and obtain a Cosmo Reverse System, a device capable of restoring the ravaged planet.[2] Since the Far-East District was the only one to successfully complete its ship, the UN consolidated all efforts there and halted the construction of the Arizona.[3] Consequently, Project Izumo was abandoned and transformed into Program Yamato.[2]
