"It's not the monster attack that's important. Then what is, you ask? The consequences."

Monarch Togora was the antagonist in an independent Azorean film produced during the years following the Great Northern War. It relied heavily on stock footage of Aquila City Police Department Metapol Central Unit's operations, which resulted in a few petty standoffs between support officers and the overeager film crew. They were eventually able to come to an agreement, and through a mix of off-duty volunteering and public demonstrations, much of the non-effects footage was filmed using real Delamare mechs. The end result was a dark, dramatic view of what might have happened had the political situation in Aquila degraded further than it actually did.

"Why make it a creature feature?"
"It would appeal to a wider audience that wouldn't care for a political thriller."
"But it has mechs in it! That makes it an action movie!"
"So did Tusk of the Moon Goddess Danita."
"But that's Taigin cinema!"
