Background
Succeeding the throne as the 17th Emperor in 6647, Lars 17th was born Hughs Hammett. As Emperor, he promoted the application of new technologies to harness the Wreek Power as a new energy source, while at the same time he gave permission to the Ministry of National Earth Science and Technology to begin development of the Vic Viper and Metalion super spatiotemporal fighters, in order to strenghten Gradius's military in preparation for the imminent Bacterian invasion.
