X era

<-- Classic era	Original Timeline	Elf Wars -->

The X era is a conjectural term referring to games and other media based on the Mega Man X games and related spin-offs. It is the second era of the original timeline, set in a time when conventional robots have been replaced by sentient reploids, and chronicles the events of the battles between the Maverick Hunters - including X, Zero and later Axl - and mavericks, reploid criminals commonly led by Sigma.
