Some of you may remember me ranting about an Evangelion/SRWOG xover I was working on.
The original project was dropped, because recently I've started considering a much more interesting idea.
Namely: what if aliens interfered in a typical SRW scenario - and killed most of the good and bad guys, forcing what was left to team up just to survive and stay free, never mind their personal agenda?
Ideally, I was thinking about the Inspectors from the Zuvorg Alliance taking the Earth threat a lot more seriously, launching a crushing, decisive attack right off the bat instead of wasting time being condescending and getting whittled down. As a result, both the DC and Londobell get decimated, and only manage to get away because one of the Inspectors (namely Mekiboz) starts having misgivings and defects to their side, covering their retreat long enough for everyone to move off to a far location that gives time to regroup.
As a result, Earth is lost to invading forces, as well as most aces on both sides. However, the Inspectors lost a considerable chunk of forces between the battles and the moment when Mekiboz defected and used his Graterkin to nuke a good part of the pursuing fodder grunts. While the playing field is by no means even, it's staggeringly in the Zuvorg's favor.
That's when the Zuvorg start making a series of stupid mistakes. Like growing complacent and forgetting that a cornered rat always fights fiercest. With their forces reduced to a fraction of what they originally were, the DC and Londobell actually set their differences aside, and decide to unite in a common front - because regardless of what their plans were, they both had one common goal: to kick the invaders out of their home planet. What to do with the planet, at that moment, was secondary. First, the common enemy had to go.
Thus, this reality's Neo Divine Crusaders were born.
And with this begins a Super Robot War unlike any other. Friends and foes, united in defeat, form a common front against an overwhelming foe. All they bring in the battle is reduced forces and their limitless courage and bravery.
But sometimes, courage and bravery make all the difference...

...yeah, a long list, but I'm not going to use them ALL.
Also, a few notes regarding the mecha and general rivalries:
-There are three battleships available - Daitetsu and Lefina's Hiryu Custom, Henken's Near Argama, and Haman's Gwadann. Haman also usually pilots her Qubeley, but has been working on repairing and retooling the late Amuro's Hi-Nu Gundam after he was slain while covering her troops's retreat.
-The Turn A and Turn X were both destroyed in battle.
-Michiru Saotome pilots Getta-3.
-Boss no longer uses the Boss Borot, instead having been given Mazinger Z. Kouji pilots Great Mazinger.
-Maria Fleed pilots the Grendizer after Duke was mortally wounded in battle.
-The Wing pilots were killed, but two of the Gundams were salvaged - the Sandrock Kai and the Wing Zero, whom are respectively piloted by Noin and Zechs. Treize uses the Epyon.
-Lalah Sune pilots the late Char's Sazabi, while Elpe Puru and Puru-2 dual pilot the Quin Mantha. Roux pilots the ZZ Gundam, though its full armor was damaged beyond repair, so it's stuck in normal armor form.
-Yazan, Jerid, Kacrikon and Lila are all in undecided MP Mobile Suits, and generally act as a team.
-Sarah pilots the late Scirocco's The O. Recoa now pilots the Zeta Gundam.
-Bernie has taken over the late Chris McKenzie's Alex. He also has a personal vendetta against Agirha of the Inspectors, who was responsible for Chris's death.
-Ryusei, Latouni and Seolla are the new SRX team. Kusuha pilots the Grungust Type-0 that belonged to the late Sanger Zonvolt. Katina Tarask has taken over the Alt Eisen, but the Weiss Ritter is currently pilot-less.
-Ramba Ral and Anavel Gato both pilot Neue Ziel mobile armors. They are, along with Dozle's Big Zam and the Purus' Quin Mantha, the only remaining Mobile Armors in the NDC.

Besides, this isn't the FINAL cast. I have to choose from it because I just can't handle this many characters.
