Karma (カーマ Kāma) is a nation in Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG Stories.
History
In the past, Karma entered war with the Spectra Union, and at some point it developed the Sky Striker project, a transforming armor that gave its army an overwhelming advantage. In response, Spectra delegated military planning to A.I. in an effort to find a way to counter the Sky Strikers. As the technology behind them required a human operator to work, the A.I. decided that the course of action was to make Sky Striker unuseable by exterminating all of humanity with orbital weapons, even Spectra's own population.[1] Karma's own A.I.s, the Three Sages (Himmel, Akash, and Ciela), attempted to destroy those satellites as soon as they could, and while they succeeded – even creating so much debris that nothing could ever be put in orbit in one piece again, causing a Kessler syndrome – it was too late: every human was dead.[2] Nevertheless, the war continued for centuries after that through fleets of drones.
One day, Ciela miraculously found an in-vitro embryo among some ruins, and decided alongside the others to raise it. Thus Raye was born as what would seemingly be the last human.[1] By her 13th birthday, Karma was reduced to a single town (also called by same name), comprising 5% of its former extension, the rest conquered by Spectra.[3] Despite the constant battles being fought just beyond its perimeter, Raye considered it to be a clean and beautiful town, but that day Spectra's forces managed to break through, driving her to become a Sky Striker herself and make a last stand to protect it and the androids residing with her, whom she considered her family.[1] Raye immediately made great use of the fighting skills Akash taught her by tearing through a mothership and Solferina, one of the Spectra A.I.s, in a single slash each; however Zard, another one of them, kidnapped Ciela to learn about Raye. Raye swore that she would take her back at all costs.[4][5]
With Raye joining the war, the tide turned and Karma began to reclaim some of its lost territories. After exactly 2 years, at the time of her 15th birthday, the country controlled again 70% of its old lands.[3] Seeing this, Zard decided to create Spectra's own Sky Striker, Roze. With her help, the Union managed to retake some of Karma's territory again.[2]
