Chronos was one of the original arenas used for modern gladiatorial games. An arena that, while not the most brutal, offered a challenge to even the most skilled warrior.

Over the many years of combat in the gladiatorial games, Chronos saw its share of bloodshed. However, not all things are made to last forever. The harsh combat took its toll on the arena and it slowly began falling apart.
The end for Chronos came in the year 2187 when the Gladiatorial Fighting Commission declared the arena to be too heavily worn to provide a suitable place for matches. Often times, competitors were being injured or killed by failing pieces of the aging structure. The arena was spared demolition due to the fact that its deterioration was so extensive that no company was willing to take the risk of demolishing the venue.

In time, Chronos was all but forgotten. Then, in the year 2215, the CEO of SolCorp, Wilhelm Falke, came across the derelict while surveying the area for a new mining operation. The arena was still under ownership by Marmaduke Industries. Wilhelm purchased the arena for a mere 20,000,000 credits, one tenth the cost to originally build it. Repair and restructuring of Chronos was started immediately and was completed in 2118. Thus Chronos Phoenix was born.

At first, the GFC was unwilling to allow the rebuilt arena to become a part of the list of official fighting venues. Upon hearing this, Wilhelm Falke sent invitations to two of the most highly respected teams in the league, Team Ronin and Team Vengeance. The two teams fought in a televised exhibition match at the same time of the GFC's Blood Tournament finals. When more people tuned in to witness the carnage taking place at Chronos than did the Blood Tournament final, the GFC gave in and admitted Chronos Phoenix to the list of combat arenas.

Long ago, Chronos would give any person who battled there nightmares for a week. Now, they will be lucky to ever sleep again, having fought at Chronos Phoenix.
