PACIFIC RIM: CADAVER

"The line between Human and Kaiju is eroding... so what do we do when we become the very monsters we've spent so much time fighting? What happens when we can't discern between our friends and our enemies? We've both claimed the tool of death to wage war, and soon it will eat us whole."
- Hermann Gottlieb

The year is 2037, and breaches across the Pacific Rim have led to the overwhelming of the Australian Pan Pacific Defense Corps. Operation Blackout has been initiated by Herc Hansen, and Australia is declared to be the "Quarantine Zone" as Kaiju begin to occupy the country. Indonesia and New Zealand scramble to gather the funding necessary to build more Jaegers in anticipation of the imminent Kaiju overflow from Australia, and countries across the Pacific Rim prepare for their parts in the growing Uprising War. In a last-ditch effort to preserve Japan, the Pan Pacific Defense Corps transports Jaegers to locations across the country from the United States, Russia, China, and South Korea. During this, Marshal Herc Hansen, who has been rescued from the corpse of Striker Berserker, forgoes honorable medical discharge and leads an attempt with Jake Pentecost to hunt for breaches near the Australian coastline.

PACIFIC RIM: CADAVER follows the stories of American Jaeger pilot Maya Scott, Korean Jaeger pilot Jaek Kimin, Russian Jaeger pilot Kalyn Tchakarov, and scavenger Jordan Mori as they traverse the post-Blackout graveyards of the Pacific Rim in a quest to hold humanity back from collapse.
