So that's what the statement is about. This guy left a Q3 game last night and posted "All your base belong to us". I had no idea what that meant (not that I really do now, either, but this is a step in the right direction).

Thanks.

B2. The Introduction (Japanese version)

A.D. 2101
The war began

Outside Ship - An explosion occurs.

Ship's Bridge
Captain: "What happened!?"
Mechanic: "Someone detonated bombs all around us!"

Close-Up of Excited Communications Officer
Operator: "Captain! Incoming transmission!"
Captain: "What!?"

Ship's Bridge
Operator: "Image coming through on the main monitor."
(CATS appears)
Captain: "You... you are...!!"

Close up of CATS
CATS: "You appear to be preoccupied, gentlemen." (sarcasm)
CATS: "Thanks to the cooperation of the UN forces,
we've taken over all of your bases."
CATS: "Your ship too shall soon be destroyed."

Close up of captain & CATS
Captain: "Im.. Impossible!"
CATS: "We thank you for your cooperation." (more sarcasm)
CATS: "Enjoy the remaining moments of your lives...."

Ship's Bridge
CATS: "Hahahahaha ...."

Close up of Forlorn Captain
Operator: "Captain!?"

Ship's Bridge (ZIGs on monitors)
Captain: "Launch all ZIG fighters!"

Shows a ZIG pilot powering up
Captain: "We leave it up to them..."

Shows a ZIG moving into launch position
Captain: "Give us hope for our future..."

ZIGs on monitors, Bridge Explodes
Captain: "We're counting on you, ZIG!!"

The ship explodes.
A lone ZIG zooms into view!

[translated by WooJin Lee and two sheepishly anonymous persons.]

B3. The Plot as the Introduction Suggests

Taking into account the three organizations mentioned in the actual
Japanese translation, we're to believe three major powers control
the spaceways in the year 2101. They are the United Nations, CATS,
and a third organization - the one the hapless souls aboard that
poor red ship belong to. Japanese animation and manga have been
full of condescending references to the west ever since the end of
World War 2, which leads me to believe that the third, unnamed
organization is Japan. (Don't hold me to that) So you've got the
UN (the west), Japan/Asia, and CATS (an alien race).

So, in the year 2101 CATS teamed up with the UN and in a surprise
move took over or destroyed ALL of Japan's planetary bases. For
some wacky reason, the lone ship in the intro is the focus of
the CATS leader's personal attention. The ship falls into CATS'
boobytrap just as all the rest did, but a lone ZIG fighter
manages to launch before the ship explodes.

You are the pilot of this lone ZIG. You are to travel to the
bases CATS took over and drive their forces away. It is up to
you to wipe this menace from the galaxy, hopefully showing the
UN the folly of their ways in the meantime.

Can a solitary ZIG defeat this alien menace and reunite east
and west in peace? "Move 'ZIG'! For great justice!"
