Pacific Rim

Sydney is the state capital of New South Wales and the most populous city in Australia. It is also the location of two major Kaiju attacks in 2014[1] and 2025.[2]

History[]

2014[]

Main article: Kaiju Attack on Sydney

In 2014, the Kaiju Scissure made landfall in Sydney. It took the military a grand total of three days to lure the Kaiju into an isolated area of the city in order to kill it with nuclear missiles. Upon leading Scissure near the area of Garigal National Park, the military initiated a second nuclear missile strike in an attempt to finish the Kaiju off for good.

The attack killed Scissure, but at the expense of half of the city. The incident was part of the inspiration that led Jasper Schoenfeld to create the concept of a Jaeger.[1]

2017-2019[]

Following the authorization of the Jaeger Program, the Pan Pacific Defense Corps constructed a Shatterdome in Sydney. Operations in the Shatterdome began in May 25, 2017 with the two Jaegers Vulcan Specter and Striker Eureka.[4]

2025[]

The increase of the Kaiju attacks around the Pacific led to the steady decline of the Jaeger Program. Sydney's Shatterdome was ultimately closed on December 29, 2024 by the United Nations, who favored building the Anti-Kaiju Wall instead to prevent the incursion of Kaiju beyond the Pacific. The Australian wall was also specifically built to sanction off the contaminated part of the city where Scissure was killed.[1][5]

On January 1, 2025, the Anti-Kaiju Wall was proven to be an utter failure when the Kaiju Mutavore easily smashed through the section of the Australian wall built around Sydney Cove. As it was still in the city at the time, Striker Eureka was immediately reactivated and proceeded to easily kill the Kaiju in a fight that was televised around the world and lasted less than a minute. After Striker Eureka was relocated to Hong Kong to participate in Operation Pitfall, mass riots broke out in cities across the Pacific Rim, with many questioning why the United Nations was abandoning the Jaeger Program to build a wall that was useless in defending humanity against the Kaiju.[2]
