Empire of the Apes

The Empire of the Apes are part of the Radicals agenda. They were released as part of the Now! series and received supplemental content from the Big in Japan set.

With gargantuan apes from the remotest jungles of Africa, this simian empire is poised to knock mankind back into the Stone Age.

Generations of citizens and scientists alike dismissed these giant sentient apes as myths. Even when the first of these monsters was caught on tape, it was widely considered an elaborate hoax on the part of the television crew that posted the footage online. When a 200-foot tall gorilla smashed an entire field of newly operational oil riggings to bits, however, the threat became far more difficult to disregard.



Story

 * Forget that “save the planet” rhetoric. Those giant monkeys are nothing but a menace to civilization.
 * —Victor Forsythe, CFO of UberCorp International

A great race of gargantuan apes has long secluded themselves from the domain of man in the deepest, unmapped regions of Africa’s deadly Congo jungles. With the rise to power of their new king, however, they rejected the ancient counsel of their elders and began to look beyond their sheltered existence to the world around them, What they discovered was strange beyond expectation: with cars, planes, and skyscrapers, the sprawling cities of humanity teemed with technology and activity. Shocked and disgusted by the unrestrained plundering of nature’s refuge, the simian sapiens slipped away unnoticed—for the time being. King Kondo saw the liberation of nature from humanity as a call his people could not deny. They would reduce the cities to rubble so nature could once again have her way. Under his leadership, the apes scoured the jungles and deserts for tools to use against the cities of man; scorched hulks of tanks and planes from bygone wars they quickly reshaped into armor and weapons befitting their lineage. These proud warriors now demolish cities and protect rustic villages with equal fervor. They bear no ill will toward humanity but will stop at nothing to see all live in harmony with nature rather than in dominion over her.
