The year is 2030. Five years ago, the Breach between our world and the Anteverse was closed by initiating the self-destruct function of the Jaeger Gipsy Danger. Despite this, Kaiju have continued to appear in different parts of the Pacific Ocean. Though none of them were ever higher than a two or three on the Serizawa Scale. Because of this, the Pan Pacific Defense Corps (PPDC) continued receiving funding, and continued developing and fielding Jaegers in order to combat them.

Currently, the head of the PPDC's operations is based at the Hawaii Shatterdome, where the first of the new Mark-6 Jaegers are housed and maintained.
