Note: Most of what is known about Apollo Engineering is speculative.
Backstory[]
Apollo Engineering (abbreviated as AE) is a large bioengineering corporation that got its start in agricultural research, likely due to an unmentioned in-world scenario. This later developed into a pharmaceutical company. After this point, the information put out has been very inconclusive (very definitive lack of dates, timeframes, chronological order of events, etc). AE is a subsidiary of the larger Apollo corporation. Other known subsidiaries are Apollo Red, Apollo Pharmaceuticals North, and Mercury Beneficial. The larger Apollo corporation is international and so important that they are required to provide services or risk the collapse of the stability of civilization. Breaking contracts with AE can end in expatriation. Firearms manufactured by ‘GRADIC Customs.’
Some time after shifting into pharmaceutical research, they somehow progressed into the production (replication) of various species, thus, the creation of paleontological assets, primarily dinosaurs and other prehistoric reptiles. AE also acquired various large islands and bases, designating most of them for testing and research purposes. The early development of "perfected" humanoids also began, such as Generation 1, followed by the Eyeless, and Generation 2. During this timeframe, the Strains were also developed; assumedly by modifiying the genetic material of certain assets into various massive, destructive freaks of nature.
Some sort of large incident occured, distrupting Apollo Engineering's advancements and experimentation on the islands. Life continued, but it left many of Apollo Engineering's facilities empty and abandoned, left for the remaining habitants of the islands to infiltrate.
It is possible the events of The Isle take place during 1990s-2000s.
Strains[]
Strains are genetically-enhanced creatures, designed to be as deadly as possible. Their origins are mysterious and left unexplained, though they appear to be somehow linked to the various warehouses and facilities scattered across AE's islands. They were likely created to test medical advances and are used for pharmeceutical purposes.
Currently, three Strain variants exist: Hyperendocrin, Neurotenic, and Tissoplastic, though some have been left unconfirmed and the possibility that more Strains exist remains.
Hyperendocrin:[]
Designed to kill with sheer brute force, Hyperendocrin dinosaurs are massive, fast, loud, and starving. Their insatiable hunger drives them to slaughter and consume entire herds of dinosaurs, while their super-regeneration and bulletproof skin makes any form of retaliation useless. The only known reliable way to kill a Hyperendocrin dinosaur is to starve it out; increased metabolism leads to inevitable starvation.
Traits:[]
- Massive increase in size
- Super regeneration
- Giant health boost
- Thick armor
- Insatiable appetite
Species:[]
- Hyperendocrin tyrannosaurus
- Hyperendocrin giganotosaurus
- Hyperendocrin carnotaurus
- Hyperendocrin spinosaurus
- Hyperendocrin colossus
- Hyperendocrin utahraptor (unconfirmed)
Neurotenic:[]
Possessing a veiny and almost slimy appearance, Neurotenic dinosaurs have extremely powerful brains - so powerful in fact, that the energy emitted from their own nervous systems can read the minds and memories of other nearby creatures. The Neurotenic mastermind also is capable of mimicking voices it has heard, with the voices heard in transmissions are from already deceased individuals that are now being used as lures, similar to that of a siren's song.
Traits (not yet reconfirmed):[]
- Enhanced size
- Telepathic communication
- Sound mimicry
- Can release a huge blast of bioelectricity, creating an EMP
- Can blur the vision of other creatures through intense electrical presence. Dinosaurs which are close to it get a "visual snow" on their screens
Species:[]
- Neurotenic mastermind (also referred as "The Mother of Cannibals" and "Echidna")
- Neurotenic spinosaurus
Tissoplastic:[]
Impossibly sharp and horrifyingly stealthy, Tissoplastic dinosaurs are as silent as they are lethal. Staying unseen through impeccable camouflage, they slice their victims with extreme precision. Oftentimes spiny and aerodynamic appearence, as well as being smaller than its regular counterparts; possibly able to regenerate lost or destroyed limbs. Connected to The Matriarch in some way.
Traits:[]
- Enhanced mobility
- Camouflage ability
- Extreme regeneration
Species:[]
- Tissoplastic reaper
Other Assets[]
The Matriarch:[]
A rapidly evolving creature that can intake biomass and reproduce certain physical properties. Starts incredibly small, ends incredibly large. It is linked with the Tissoplastics, but not the same. Possibly a similar issue to Hyperendocrine where it cannot maintain its size when fully grown.
The Islandwalker (Legacy):[]
Massive creature that travels between islands. Skeleton can found in Titan lake on V3 in Legacy.
