This Ape Army was the military of the East Coast Ape City.
History[]
Led by General Ursus, they consisted entirely of Gorillas. In 3979, rumors began spreading of mysterious inhabitants in the Forbidden Zone. Ursus advocated for an ape array invasion of the Forbidden Aone, which was later approved by President Gaius and Dr. Zaius. Ursus rallied the entire ape army, even recruiting members of the Security Police to his cause. Despite protests from pacifist Chimpanzees, the army, led by Ursus and Zaius, marched to the Forbidden Zone.
Forbidden Zone War[]
They soon arrived at the ruins of New York City. The settlement in the Forbidden Zone belonged to a group of mutated humans, with illusion powers. The humans attempted to ward off the army using their powers to create illusions of apes nailed onto upside-down crosses on fire. However, Dr. Zaius saw through the illusions, and they were able to break through them.
They arrived at the Human's cathedral, where their leader, Mendez XXVI, revealed their weapon - the Alpha-Omega Bomb, which he announced as an instrument created by his god. Ursus then had Mendez killed and sent out his men to search the ruins for other humans. However, when they brought down the bomb it released toxic gas that killed the soldiers nearby.
Immediately after this, George Taylor came running in after escaping the Mutant's captivity and was shot by Ursus. Ursus was then shot and killed by Taylor's comrade John Brent. Taylor, in his last few moments, then detonated the bomb, destroying the Earth.
