Chronopolis is the time research installation created by Belthasar in 2300 A.D. and responsible for the execution of Project Kid. It was founded after the Guru of Time came in to the future from the Ocean Palace Incident with the Time Research Lab. His motives unknown, Belthasar sought to create a new temporal institute, and sought funding from the Central Regime; he managed to convince them to establish the project under the guise of a military research facility. He then located the area in El Nido due to the strange gravitational field there (probably caused by the Frozen Flame). The Flame itself powered the new building, and was stationed in the basement where a huge, power-extracting and analyzing engine made several connections with it. To officiate and regulate the facility, a somewhat sentient supercomputer known as FATE was constructed out of existing Mother Brain circuitry; like the other systems, it drew power directly from the Frozen Flame. FATE was equipped with a huge repository of historical knowledge dating back to prehistory, allowing it unparalleled computing power. Above the ground level, which included a lobby, janitorial system, and admissions desk, four floors were constructed to house various experiments on physics and other fields of science, such as biology. To conduct these ventures, the scientists were given state of the art imaging tools and other apparatuses. Lastly, the facility's location allowed it to be hidden from public view; this required due to the secrecy and importance of Chronopolis's work.
Once the systems were up and running, Belthasar assessed his bearings in time, and learned that Schala had been bound to Lavos, forming the Time Devourer, and that the resulting being, once matured, would consume all space-time. Probably with the help of FATE, Belthasar drew up an elaborate plan to create a device known as the Chrono Cross that could free Schala from the parasitic creature. He decided to use Chronopolis as a magnificent instrument to this end; the institution would travel back through time, create and populate islands, and indirectly allocate the necessary factors needed to create the Chrono Cross. While pinning down the specifics of Project Kid, he installed Robo as the Prometheus Circuit, a device intended to lock access to the Flame out if anyone were to touch it and become its Arbiter. He also constructed the Neo Epoch, a time traveling machine he would use to watch his plan unfold. FATE was not privy to Project Kid's full scope. Once ready, Belthasar announced the Counter-Time Experiment, an effort to use the power of the Frozen Flame to master control of time. He made preliminary preparations, and ensured that the organization would continue the experiment in his absence. He then departed for the modern era, leaving the Chronopolis Chief behind as curator of the facility.
