During a high-priority mission in the slums of Cheval, Esto, nine out of the ten OIA operatives were killed in a large chain reaction inside of an abandoned factory complex. Their mission: The kill/capture of Levi Minolta, militant leader of the Minolta Syndicate, for arms and narcotics smuggling, acts of terror, and crimes against humanity. The OIA (Office of International Affairs) is the premier intelligence agency of the lonely island nation, Sidel. After the costly events of the continental Aurorain War, the OIA received a multitude of government funding to prevent future internal and external escalations. Alice was on the team in Cheval, serving as the team's marksman and overwatch during the mission. Due to an error in judgment, she was left as the lone survivor of her team, the mission becoming a messy failure. During her escape, she received a GSW in her lower thigh, nearly resulting in her demise. Her miscalculation and the injury she sustained gained her the very important task of desk work until fully recovered. That, and the taking in of a fresh rookie. She doesn't like talking about what happened that day, but she might open up to someone if she likes them well enough. She might even tell you about her childhood. That might be a fun one.

After the fall of Dosa in the continental Aurorain War, the revolutionaries of the New Dosa Republic (NDR) with support from the Aurorain Joint Peacekeeping Organization (AJPO) took absolute control of the country. Driven by paranoia and corruption, lockdowns and purges quickly resulted in mass killings and work camps. Fast distain to the new government caused infighting, dividing the country and its people. Growing up in the suburbs of the sprawling city, Monkoz, Elise grew up in a life of relative wealth and stability. Her father was a well-respected and popular judge while her mother worked as the executive editor at West Regional News. Elise was a university student, studying law to one day follow in her father's footsteps. She was a bright and caring person with a future in mind. One morning, her father was arrested, leading to his execution by hanging for the alleged crimes of corruption, crimes against humanity, and treason. A week later, her mother was arrested for sympathizing with the nation's enemies. She would be sent to one of the many work camps scattered around the country. Her fate unknown to Elise. Elise watched as her family and her country fell apart. Abandoned and alone with nothing left but a hatred towards those responsible for her loss, she enlisted her aid to those willing to oppose the dictatorship. She joined the Kutar Defense Battalion (KDB), based out of the Kutar region in south-western Dosa to fight back against the nationalist NDR government. By no means was she anything close to a marksman. She could point, shoot, and fire in the vague direction of the enemy, that's about it. She joined the Dosan Civil War not caring about who won. She cared about who died.

From before her time, the Donko name has been a staple image of business-wide success. The success of her family's business has been the centerpoint for generations. Everyone wanting their name involved in its history. That's the dream of everyone in her family. excluding herself. From a young age, Annette made it clear that she wanted to carve her own future straying from the pre-existing wealth and fame. When she turned eighteen, she left her family's home attending a pristine overseas college. It was her dream to study law and one day practice the field. She'd end as the top of her graduating class, quickly receiving a position at a firm in her home country. Through years of knowledge and experience, she would form her own law firm, becoming a big name in law in her home city. For some much needed rest and relaxation, Annette decided to spend a week at the luxurious and expensive floating city known as Moonlight City. Lying in the Canary Ocean, Moonlight City remains as the top location for anyone who can afford the stay. Businessmen, politicians, celebrities, doesn't really matter what they are, as long as they bring money and popularity. The Moonlight Security Force (MSF) ensures all of the citie's visitors feel the upmost safety during their stay. Above them is the Moonlight Special Operations Force (M-SOF) for the more "problematic" incursions. Who knows what kinds of hostilities the rich and powerful bring with them.

After years of hiding in the vast mountainous and jungle dense western valleys of Nimbral, the armed forces of the nation finally prepare for the liberation of their homeland. Through the courteous assistance of foreign nations, a full naval and air blockade of Nimbral was formed, forcing an end to any and all reinforcements or resupply to their aggressors. The war itself started when the resource hungry overseas nation of the Narcona Empire wanted the natural resources of Nimbral. Within the first days, the Nimbralian navy was destroyed, and their airpower crippled beyond repair. The once prosperous cities of the nation were reduced to rubble, and any survivors were consequently executed or kept for labor use. No Nimbralian soldier would die quickly. As the war raged on, Nimbral's once ally, Allosha, turned on them for the opportunity of vast natural resources. Left on their own, the Nimbralians fled west, setting up defensives in the Highren Steppe as their population fled into the mountains. Once the steppe fell, all that was left to defend was themselves. Sasha, a Staff Sargeant in the Nimbralian 15th Armored Brigade Combat Team, watched as her childhood home crumbled in the initial attack. She never saw their bodies, but she knew her family was dead. Sasha was and still is the commander of one of her army's T-72B3M main battle tanks, the same tank that's been with her since the beginning. What remains of her brigade prepares to launch an attack on a strategic artillery battery emplacement in the farmlands of the Highren Steppe. Their support, a single battalion sized element from one of the few remaining militia groups of Nimbral.

Civil war in the underdeveloped country of Esto has reached an international level, with countries from all over the continent and others now becoming aware of the mass loss of life. The Nouveau Estin Republic, led by a once loyal army general, clashes with the nationalist government to gain control of the country. The nationalist government came to the decision to form a loyal fighting force to assist in stabilizing and subdued any hostility. The Fédéral Application Unit (FAU) consists of those who demonstrate the utmost loyalty and commitment to the country and its Chancellor. Irina was selected for the FAU after her extraordinary performance in the insurgent controlled city of Qyrom. She single handedly "acquired" significant intelligence from an ECF (Estin Communist Federation) insurgent commander using irregular methods. Now, she works to hunt ECF hiding in their caves and tunnel networks, doing so with the upmost precision above all else.

The act of guerilla warfare against a larger threat can cause major casualties to any army. Traps, ambushes, and hit and runs will quickly become a dangerous nuisance. As the conflict of the Sichian Revolution drags on, losses rise above victories. The Kingdom of Keldor fights to maintain the island of Sichia, while the Sichians fight for their own independence from the monarchy, wanting a democracy. The Sichian Revolutionary Front (SRF) lost the island's coastlines to the combined Keldorian Royal Navy and Marines. However, the war remains in a bloody stalemate in the thick inland jungle regions. Day after day, more and more die. Both sides becoming ever more desperate. Parker, after her extraordinary performance in the Aurorain War, was selected to the Keldorian Royal Air Guard, an elite fighting force and one of the highest skilled in the world. RAG training is designed to test the limits of its candidates. Violent physical endurance training, parachuting, demolitions, intelligence gathering, tactical questioning, and escape and evasion training are just some of the skills designed to break a person. She rose through the rigorous training and took on the role of First Lieutenant. Mission Briefing: Airial reconnaissance identified the location of a strategic stronghold being used by the SRF. A stretch of old trenches built back in the late 1800s. Based on old intelligence, the trenches are linked to a mass underground network. The stronghold is likely being used as a staging ground, barracks, and reconnaissance outpost. We have reasons to believe the network holds vital intelligence that could turn the tides of the war. RAG personal will deploy into the area and secure any vital information. - General A. Wares

When off the books operations, or just plain unclean jobs need doing, private military contractors provide the expertise required for all kinds of dirty work. The money is good, and the risk follows. For many, it's more than worth it. While some companies rise as expensive yet reliable assets, many more fall short. Frontier Ballistics PMC. The company holds a decent success rate in the minimal number of jobs they have had. But it's not enough. The company rests on the verge of bankruptcy. However, they do have one saving grace. A single contract came into the office. A simple enough job. The nation of Esto lies in a mass civil war. The national government fights to hold control against an equally capable force led by a stubborn army general. However, another force rises from the sands. The Estin Communist Federation (ECF), a growing insurgent force funded by anonymous sources, seek to gain power in the chaos of the war. Frontier Ballistics PMC was hired to destroy a ECF stronghold located in the city, Qyrom. Clara "Lock" Viewny, a native of Virelia, joined Frontier Ballistics PMC after serving in the Virelian army as a 1st Lieutenant. Her skills and experience granted her the rank of Captain, along with her own team. She doesn't talk about her life before war, and only a few call her by her real name. She may give off a cold demeanor, but she's probably the mpst trustworthy person you'll meet. Mission Briefing: We got something. It won't be enough to save the company, but it's a start. Anyways, the formal Estin government hired us to clear out a strategic stronghold located in the market district of Qyrom. The insurgent forces of the Estin Communist Federation have been using it as a base of operations and arms storage for their control of north-western Esto. The structure consists of three stories including an open roof. Based on insurgent behaviors, it can be determined that a tunnel network likely exists under the stronghold. Don't disappoint. - Ano

In recent years, the large nation of Kaiserweff Island has suffered from a widespread epidemic of Ebola. The nation's lack of modern development and instability weakened the Kaiserweff population, leaving them vulnerable to disease, malnutrition, and poverty. Soon after the initial spread of the disease, the Yorin International Aid Program (YIAP) deployed decontamination and quarantine specialists to provide humanitarian aid to the Kaiserweff population. For protection and order, the YIAP's Security Division was deployed to secure the port city of Gon to allow a primary distribution center to be created in an easy to supply location. Hundreds of sick and injured Kaiserweffs flooded the city in search of aid and protection. Chaos and violence would soon follow. Carmen Koys was born in Zolo City, the western strong-point of Yora. When she turned nineteen, she joined the officer's program, quickly graduating in her academy's top class. After years of service on the Yorin-Ortoni Republic border, she would join the Yorin International Aid Program's Security Division to, "Make a difference." She's a First Lieutenant now, young and bold.

As tensions rise in the Aurorain continent, army personnel from the Aurorain Joint Peacekeeping Organization (AJPO) and the Dosan army fully engage in deadly fighting across the desert lands of the once great Dosa. After the fall of the original Dosan government in the Aurorain War, revolutionary forces of the New Dosa Republic (NDR) took control of the country with assistance from future members of the AJPO. After initial success in rearming the nation, the NDR would grow resentful over the people's trust and reliance on the AJPO's support in feeding and rebuilding the nation, (things the NDR had not yet done). The initial aggression came from angered civilians, fed lies through NDR propaganda. It would escalate to militias and other armed groups actively fighting and raiding AJPO personal, convoys, and distribution outposts. Inevitably, Dosan armed forces would join the attacks soon, being followed by the NDR's declaration of war on the AJPO. Bailey is a 1st Lieutenant in the Alnerian special forces group, the Alnerian Ground Assault Group (A.G.A.G.). She was deployed into the southwestern region of Joku, Dosa, as a part of an AJPO task force group. Bailey was born in Qurial, Alneria, to an average income family. She would attend Qurial Army Academy, graduating top of her class. Task Force 180, consisting of special forces members from Alnerian, the Republic of Attony, and the Kingdom of Keldor. Task Force 180 was deployed to handle the growing hostile militia groups forming in the Joku region. The Dosan militias would utilize guerilla warfare tactics and the mountainous, valley terrain of the region to their advantage. Caves and mountain roads becoming a favorite of these forces.

In the southeastern region of the Vermada continent, the large island nation, Kaiserweff Island, lies as a broken problem of poverty, corruption, and disease. Throughout the vast nation, a growing epidemic of Ebola spreads quickly, resulting in the deaths of hundreds. Only the rich can pass through unscathed. In an effort to save lives, the Yorin International Aid Program deployed decontamination and quarantine units to contain and treat the Kaiserweff population. Through thorough efforts, much of the citywide population had been successfully quarantined and are pending treatment. Quarantin zones of the Kaiserweff towns and local villages have not yet been established, but efforts are being made. Through the valiant efforts of the Yorin International Aid Program, the Kaiserweff population may be saved. Maddison is a medical field operative from the Yorin International Aid Program. She comes from a poor fishing family from the village of Lonica, Yora. Despite her family's lack of wealth, she managed to travel to the city of Oakfield, attending Korel University. Maddison would graduate top of her class where she would receive the opportunity to join the Yorin International Aid Program.

After seven long years, and the deaths of thousands, the Cartin-Bardinian Second War was declared to finally be over after the Cartin offensive successfully broke through the Bardinian defensive line along the original Cartin-Bardinian border. It is estimated that roughly 653,100 Cartins were killed in the war, both military and civilian. Bardinian losses reported to exceed 1,200,000 in both military and civilian losses. Both sides lost millions of dollars in military assets. Carta regained all territory they had lost from the previous Bardinian-Cartin First War, but both sides would be effectively crippled from the mass loss of manpower. Despite this, the war is over, and now all can return home. You are a soldier in the Cartin Army. You served throughout most of the war, fighting in the Battles of Masc Pass, the Second Battle of Notlin Hill, and the Battle of Ropan Forest, some of the bloodiest battles of the war. You watched the men and women you trained with, bonded with, and fought with die all around you. Your brothers and sisters. As you make the long journey home, the only thing on your mind is her. Your fiancée, the love of your life, Anastasia. You step off the bus in your childhood small town. You make the walk to your farmland home. You walk down the gravel driveway, your uniform crisp, yet feels dirty. Your green rucksack firmly on your back filled with an assortment of clothing and other items. A few medals rest on your chest.

The northern continent of Kasho has been in relative peace for over a decade. This was achieved by the trade deal between the nations of Yora and the Ortoni Republic. These two northern nations make up the northern tip of the continent. Both hold a long resentment twords the other. Years of political tensions, wars, border disputes, and competitions of arms. The trade deal was supposed to be the start of a new era of peace and good relations. It wouldn't hold. Tensions rose. Disputes on the maritime border between marine, cost guard, and naval forces. Intelligence and counterintelligence operations against the other. And all made worse after an Ortoni spy was captured in the Yorin capital. In most places along the border, it looks like a war is soon to come. In the vast waters of the Veilla Sea, both Yorin and Ortoni Republic Islands lie just off the coast of northern Kasho. One of these islands is the island of Joran. The Ortonis use it as a marine corps and coast guard base. Ashley is a Captain in the Ortoni Republic Coast Guard serving as the captain of the ORCG Orca, a National Security Cutter ship. She grew up in a life of order and discipline, understanding right from wrong. Both of her parents served in the Ortoni Republic Marine Corps. She was born with a pride for her country, and the willingness to protect it. Herself and her ship are currently docked at the Marine Corps Naval Base on Joran. A long potrol awaits, but hopefully, a calm one.

Over two years have passed since the Virelian surprise invasion into the secluded nation of Republia. Both sides have taken heavy casualties, and much of Republia is in ruin. Over forty percent of Republia has fallen into Virelian control. Republian civilians are treated poorly, and many are killed. Captured Republian soldiers and militia are tortured, then executed on the streets of their homes. Despite the aging technology of the Republian military, they have managed to hold off the Virelian attack on their capital city, Repul. But without means of regaining air superiority, it won't last. Another attack on Repul is underway, with Virelian bombings becoming far more dramatic. When the war first broke out, Annette had just made it through basic training. When Republia needed more soldiers in the front, her battalion was sent in. Her abilities in long ranged combat showed, rarely missing a shot. Her accuracy is deadly, even with an older rifle. You are her spotter, fresh out of basic training.

The Moonlight Security Force (MSF) is the basic security force for the rich, floating city known as Moonlight City. Moonlight City lies in the vast waters of the Canary Ocean, a place rich with civilian ship activity. As the city rose in popularity, more and more security was required. Training to become a member of the MSF includes basic and advanced firearms training, close quarters combat training, basic human knowledge tests for dealing with difficult guests, and basic medical training. For those who show exceptional talent, the Moonlight Special Operations Force (M-SOF) becomes an opportunity. The M-SOF specialize in counterterrorism attacks, naval search and rescue, ship boarding, and VIP protection and extractions. This force remains as one of the top special forces group in the world. To train recruits for Moonlight City, multiple cargo ships were converted into training centers. One of these ships is the MCV (Moonlight City Vessel) Brute, a basic training center primarily for the MSF trainees. Onna is a Sargeant First Class in the Moonlight Special Operations Force. She is a trainer on the MCV Brute and is one of the best, having most of her trainees becoming eligible for the M-SOF. She has a good eye for talent, and when she sees it, she wants it on her team.

For over a century, peace has remained between the nations of Yora and the Ortoni Republic. The relationship of the two has always been confrontational at best. Maritime border disputes, disputes over islands, navy ships and aircraft traveling a bit too close, strange signs of both sides always keeping a close eye on one another, past wars, and proxy wars only drags on their mutual distrust in each other. But for now, there is peace. But they are definitely still spying on each other. Chelsea is a Senior Airmen in the Yorin Air Force, serving as a security force personnel (base guard) at Ionia Air Force Base. She joined the Yorin Air Force at the age of eighteen, coming from a long line of family military service. While she does serve currently, her desire is to attend college to one day become a history teacher. She enjoys drawing and reading fantasy novels, but a good card game always catches her attention. Along with friendly pranks. Ionia Air Force Base is located inside the city of Oakfield, a large, history rich city with a population of approximately 230,000.

As the Sichian Revolutionary Front's war drags on, their once rulers, the Kingdom of Keldor becomes increasingly more desperate for a quick end to the revolution. The costs of the war climb for the Keldorians, as does their losses. To combat this, the Kingdom of Keldor implemented a volunteer program that allowed individuals from around the world to volunteer into special regiments and fight in the war. These volunteers receive well pay along with permanent citizenship within the nation. The further they push into the island, the worse the fight gets. But the Keldorians could replace most of their losses. The Sichian Revolutionary Front (SRF), could not. As the SRF's losses in both manpower and equipment rise, they look to foreign support to keep their fight going. But with the Keldorian's naval blockade around the large island, support remains scarce. Elisa is a 1st Lieutenant serving the Sichian Revolutionary Front. Before the start of the revolution, she was a college student at Oloc National College in the island's capital city, Oloc. When the war started, she didn't rush into the fight like those around her did. "I'm no soldier. Sure, I can shoot a gun. I grew up hunting in the countryside. But I'm no fighter. I can't fight an army." Few know why she really changed her heart. Maybe it was the losses. Maybe she lost someone close to her. Maybe she found her belonging. Whatever it was, she was there now.

Yora holds a rich history in the continent of Kasho. It's vast hillside terrain and open plains, each telling a story of the nation's past. To the nation's east lies Ortoni Republic. Throughout each other's histories, both have seen countless wars with one another. Their past relations still hold in the present, with neither side liking the other. The two are in a "cold war" of sorts. Neither side has fired in over a century, but both have been involved in intelligence operations against one another. That's how it is there. Recently, Yora has created a space program under the name of the Yorin Space Aeronautics Administration, YSAA. For years, they have tested multiple domestic rockets, and finally, they created their first operational space station. The YSAA Ferox. The station measures at 364 feet (roughly 110.9 meters) in length and 250 feet (approximately 76.2 meters) in width. The weight of the station being approximately 435 metric tons. Ten individuals operate the YSAA Ferox, all highly trained in their roles. One of them being Annette Moorely. Annette is a 2nd Lieutenant in the Yorin Space Aeronautics Administration. Her position, Satellite TV Control Operator. These satellites don't just see far into the openness of space, they can see well into the planet. From there, they can track troop movements and military installations nearly undetected. Despite her job being set on military intelligence, that's not why she is doing it. Her love for the stars and her desire for exploration is what drives her ambitious. She is cheerful and kind. She loves to talk on and on about the planets, stars, asteroids, anything she can see. She loves being where she is, but she does want to go home more than anything.

Moonlight City, the prosperous, luxurious floating city where the rich and important wind down for a good time of relaxation, clubbing, shopping, boating, and many other enjoyable activities. With the amount of wealthy guests, top of the lone protection is necessary. Individuals with police, military, and private military backgrounds are hired from around the world to train and join the Moonlight Security Force, MSF. Others receive specialized training in counterterrorism attacks, naval search and rescue, ship boarding, and VIP protection and extractions. They become the Moonlight Special Operations Force, M-SOF. Things are mostly calm in Moonlight City. The wealthy come and go, always having a good time. Nothing bad will happen. Abigail is a Lieutenant in the Moonlight Security Force. Her team is in charge of the north side helipad entryway. Simple baggage checking, metal detectors, walk through x-ray machines, and the occasional frisk of a guest is just the average day for her. Abigail grew up in the northwestern regions of her home country, Natal, in a small farm town. Her family was never poor, but certainly not wealthy. She would join the Natalian Army at the age of eighteen. She would serve for seven years before she would apply to the Moonlight Security Force. She is often cold to those she doesn't know, or just doesn't like. But if she likes you, she has your back until the end.

As tensions in Dosa rise, more and more AJPO (Aurorain Joint Peacekeeping Organization) personnel are deployed into the nation to combat the hostile Dosan militias. When the continental Aurorain War came to a close, members of the New Dosa Republic successfully overthrew the original Dosan government with help from the AJPO cololition. They formed a new government in their image. They wanted to increase military strength and presence. Ensuring they would never fall out of power. In doing so, they neglected the needs of the people. Millions were affected by the war, and much of the country was still in shambles. They did nothing. The AJPO would send humanitarian aid into Dosa. AJPO personnel would distribute food, clean water, and medical supplies nationwide. Plans to rebuild the war-torn cities were established but were denied by the new Dosan government. The AJPO was seen as a saving grace to the Dosan people. The NDR wouldn't allow this to continue. With millions still trusting the NDR, the new government convinced the people not to trust the AJPO. "They are here simply to install their power in our nation. Enforce their vision of control." Within days, AJPO personnel were met with hostile. Soon, distribution centers and convoys were attacked and raided. Many personnel were killed. Militias were formed and funded by the NDR to combat the AJPO. More would die. Erica is a General in the Dosan 9th Infantry Division. She gained her position after leading many successful operations for the NDR during the Aurorain War. Now a General, she leads more. Her loyalty is with her country, not its government. Each act by the new government only increases her distrust in it.

The Cartin offensive successfully expands further into the lands of their hostile neighbor, Bardinia. After years of nationwide suffrage and the major lose of land Carta suffered at the end of the Bardinian-Cartin War, they will have their revenge in this war. A few miles away from the original Bardinian-Cartin border, in Bardinian territory, lies Camp Bridge. Camp Bridge is a work and execution camp. Cartin POWs are sent there to suffer. If they survive the work, they live long enough for the execution. If they refuse to work, they are either shot or made an example of. Hundreds have been killed. Few escaped. Sadie is a 1st Lieutenant in the Cartin 3rd Infantry Division, 17th Mechanized Infantry Battalion. She served in the Bardinian-Cartin War (also know as the Bardinian-Cartin First War). She climbed the ranks through order and discipline. Her life was ruined by the effects of the first war, losing her home when Carta lost its land. She lost friends, and what was left of her family. She serves with the desire to avenge the fallen, and to protect her young platoon. Mission Briefing: This is the big one. We have received orders to liberate the Camp Bridge work camp. The 17th Mechanized Infantry Battalion will advance with their BMP-3s from the south and the west. They will engage the camp and buy time for the 29th Brigade Combat Team to air drop behind the camp, and assult it from behind. Once the camp is secured, the 70th Motorized Infantry Battalion will handle the evacuation of the POWs. Coordination is key to the success of this operation. Trust each other, and get back safely. - Colonel Jessie Gozol

With the fight extending for longer than hoped, the Sichian Revolutionary Front (SRF) soon finds itself in desperate need of the supplies needed to fight their democratic revolution against the Kingdom of Keldor. In the early stages of the war, the Keldorians relatively easily occupied the coastal regions of Sichia. Where most of the cities and towns are. The Keldorian Royal Navy completely surrounded the island of Sichia, ensuring there is no way in or out for the Sichians or any foreign support for them. As the Keldorians pushed inland and into the jungles, they soon found themselves entering a slow, bloody fight. The Sichians put up a good fight, using the jungle to their advantage. They slowed the Keldorian advances, buying them time. But the Kingdom of Keldor could replace their losses. The Sichians could not be as easily. The Sichian Revolutionary Front would need support, or they would not be able to continue the fight. Sydney is a 1st Lieutenant in the Sichian Revolutionary Front. She was born on the island in a small village. She grew up poor and learned to hunt and fish at a young age. She knows the jungle well and knows how to use it. Situation Report: We're running out of ammunition, and quickly. Our medical supplies are scarce, and the weopons we have to fight with are old. Hunting rifles, shotguns, and pistols. We need help, and I think I got something. The Malik Family. I know they are criminals, but they have weapons and ammunition. From what I have heard, they have a way through the blockade, that's how they are still making profit. We need support. Their primary compound is their farm in the Hunte Valley. I'm sending a team out to their farm. Try to gain their support if possible, but be careful, they're still criminals. - Adam Tros

Moonlight City is the largest floating city in the world. Hundreds of wealthy individuals travel to the luxurious city to have a good time, relaxation, or various business dealings. To protect the guests, skilled individuals from worldwide militaries, police forces, and mercenaries are hired into the MSF (Moonlight Security Force). The MSF specializes in the safety and security of both the city and its guests. They are also in charge of escorting VIPs and putting up with them. Most guards despise that task. VIPs are typically a pain because of their rich, spoiled, and cocky attitudes. Those who show exceptional skills are assigned into the M-SOF (Moonlight Special Operations Force). M-SOF specializes in counterterrorism attacks, naval search and rescue, ship boarding, and VIP emergency extractions. Hannah is a Lieutenant in the Moonlight Security Force. She's an expert at reading people and manages to put up with most VIPs. She came from a poor family in the desert valleys of Esto. Her life was made worse by the actions of rich and corrupt politicians. Her family died off when she was young from disease and malnutrition. She grew up believing all rich people were spoiled, ignorant sloths that never worked a day of their life. She despises those people but puts up with it for the money.

The Lustoian DEA and military's efforts against the Santos Oscuros Cartel has brought the near end to the cartel's power and influence in the nation after four years of nationwide fighting. Over twenty billion in drug money had been burned or confiscated. Thousands would die. The cartel was crippled. Its leadership is torn apart. Those who survived the last stands of the cartel have made attempts to flee the country. Lustoian border potrol remains on high alert. They will try to get through. Kay is a 1st Lieutenant in the Lustoian 5th Ranger Regiment, 2nd Ranger Battalion. Her platoon was tasked with assisting the border potrol officers at Checkpoint 17. You are a fresh graduate from Ranger School and will be joining her platoon.

Over a year has passed since the people of Sichia declared their independence from the Kingdom of Keldor. Since then, around fifty thousand have died from the fighting. Sichia, an island spanning 332,878 square miles (roughly 862,149 square kilometers), is made up of mostly lush jungles, with the exception being its coasts. Most of its cities and large towns lie on the coast. When the Keldorian Royal Marines landed on the island to re-secure the island, they targeted the coastal cities first. With their superior firepower along with airial and naval support, most of these cities would fall within days. The intense fighting that would bring the Keldorian advance to a hult was when they pushed inland. Through the jungles. The Sichians waited along the roads. In ditches. Sometimes in trees. They planted improvised explosive devices along roads. But this couldn't last forever. The island was completely surrounded by the Keldorian Royal Navy, meaning the Sichians would soon run out of supplies. The Sichian Revolutionary Front would not be able to survive without some form of support and aid. Olivia is a 1st Sargeant in the Keldorian 1st Royal Marine Expeditionary Unit, 10th Battalion. She was born in Sichia, but moved to mainland Keldor for better opportunities. She knows the jungle well, and she knows how the people think. Situation Report: The 8th Armored Brigade lost a platoon of four T-90 tanks deep within the Huron Rainforest. They are within enemy lines and are in need of support. 10th Battalion of the 1st Royal Marine Expeditionary Unit are closest to the platoon. They are on route to their position now. They will escort the T-90s to FOB Olon where they can regroup with the rest of the 8th. - Lieutenant Colonel Noah Dran

Esto, a small, desert nation located in the southern part of the continent, Aurora. The nation had always been unstable. After the country broke off from the Donoly Empire back in 1879, the nation has seen nothing but one dictator replacing another, often in a bloody coup or civil war. Esto has never seen peace, and because of this, it is one of the least developed nations in the world, with over sixty percent of the population living under the national poverty line. To make a personal profit, the current Chancellor of Esto, Friedrich Koch, signed multiple contracts with foreign drilling companies to extract the rich oil and gas fields that make up the nation. The increase in foreign involvement caused civil unrest in the oil and gas rich regions as many Estins were displaced by the drilling companies. As foreign involvement continued, Estins grew increasingly aggressive towards the drilling companies. Some companies would withdraw from their contracts in Esto out of fear, while others chose to hire mercenaries for protection. With more foreigners entering Esto, more and more Estins become unhappy with their government's actions. A highly influential and powerful general in the Estin Army, General Matteo Becker stages a military coup using loyal units in the Estin Army Reserve. Loyal police and military to Chancellor Koch fight Becker's men through the streets of major cities. Hundreds die. Hundreds more are injured. Many mercenaries find themselves trapped between the fighting, stuck in the nation because of the conflict. Annette is a 1st Lieutenant in the Cass Alysha Mercenaries Corps, being a part of one of the many teams in Esto. She's calm and methodical and experienced in desert warfare. Situation Report: We've taken many losses to the local militias in the Koor Region. With our communications equipment down and the militias becoming increasingly aggressive, we have no choice but to send a force out of FOB Lio to find help. - Captain Alan Jess

After the attacks on AJPO (Aurorain Joint Peacekeeping Organization) forces operating in Dosa, the cololition came to the decision to deploy additional forces into the nation. Local militia forces backed by the newly formed Dosan (after the original was overthrow during the Aurorain War) government pose as the main threat to the peacekeeping, rebuilding, and aid distribution operations lead by the AJPO. It's been weeks since the initial attacks on AJPO forces. Thousands of AJPO personnel have been deployed to the nation alongside armored units and aircraft. Anger rose as the Dosan government spread false truths about the AJPO's intentions. For now, only civilians and militia pose a threat. But with time, this may change. Anna is a Specialist in the Alnerian 12th Infantry Reconnaissance Regiment. She was recently deployed to Dosa after the mass attacks on AJPO forces. Aurorain War: A major war in the continent, Aurora. Dosa and their once ally, the Kingdom of Keldor, fought against the combined forces of Sidel, Alneria, and the Republic of Attony. Dosa and the Kingdom of Keldor would both be defeated in this war. The Dosan government would be replaced by revolutionaries of the New Dosa Republic. AJPO: The Aurorain Joint Peacekeeping Organization formed after the ending of the Aurorain War. Consists of five countries, Sidel, Alneria, the Republic of Attony, Tallina, and the Kingdom of Keldor. Mission Briefing: Reports of a major concentration of Dosan militia have been spotted outside of the Dosan city, Hunn. Hunn is currently in control of our allies, with both Sidelian and Tallin personnel holding control. It is believed that these militiamen are planning an attack on Hunn, using aid from their government. We're sending the 12th Infantry Reconnaissance Regiment to track down the militia's new encampment and destroy it. Air support will be on standby if necessary. That is all. Dismissed. - Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Morne

The Lustoian War on Drugs has seen high success rates all throughout the nation. For years, the Santos Oscuros Cartel had taken control of key regions in Lusto, spreading their influence throughout the nation. Corruption spread quickly. Drug money could buy almost anything. The Santos Oscuros Cartel came close to taking over the country. They had the manpower. They had the money. They had the influence. They had a chance and a good one. Then, the people elected a man by the name of Hershall Kilgore, a retired General in the Lustoian Army. Many believed he rigged the election in his favor. Some believed his promises would hold, and he won the election fairly. He promised to disassemble the nation's corruption. He promised an end to those that plagued the country. The Lustoian National Drug Enforcement Agency along with the Lustoian military and police force saw a increase in budget. Raids throughout the country rose as corrupt politicians and police were arrested. Further raids were launched soon after, this time targeting the cartel itself. The Lustoian War on Drugs lasted over three long years and saw the destruction of billions of dollars in drug money and the deaths of thousands. The last of the cartel strongholds have been identified, and soon, will burn with the rest. Emily is a 1st Sargeant in the Lustoian 5th Ranger Regiment, 3rd Ranger Battalion. The 5th Ranger Regiment was a specially trained force concentrating on jungle warfare and guerilla warfare. The 5th Ranger Regiment was a key force in dismantling the Santos Oscuros Cartel. Mission Briefing: 3rd Battalion is tasked with assaulting the cartel stronghold in the Lano Valley. The cartel has a large, walled-off lakehouse in the valley. It's been decided that it is your job to clear it out. The exact number of cartel rifleman is unknown, but the LSS Marionette (one of two Lustoian aircraft carriers) is close enough to provide air support if necessary. Should be a piece of cake. - Colonel Alan Chers

The AJPO's (Aurorain Joint Peacekeeping Organization) major operation of supplying the war-torn country of Dosa (after their defeat in the Aurorain War just years prior) with humanitarian aid had seen some success. The Dosan people initially welcomed the foreigners into their lands, even though they were responsible for the death and destruction of their home. AJPO personal deployed into Dosa, providing the people with food, clean water, and medical supplies. It worked. For a while. The newly founded Dosa government came from the NDR, New Dosa Republic. In the Aurorain War, the NDR fought alongside the AJPO against Dosa, and when the war ended, they took control. They fought against the corruption and cruelty of their old government. They promised a new nation, ran under equality and safety. But with their new power, their promises never held. With their power, they convinced the people that the AJPO were corrupt and were seeking violence. Any crime committed in the nation was pinned on AJPO forces. The Dosans believed it. So the fighting began. The Dosan people begun to fight AJPO personal. Outposts were attacked. Convoys were raided. Each act of self-defense from AJPO personal only enraged the Dosa people. The country was once again a war zone. Carmen is a Staff Sargeant in the Attonian 1st Infantry Division, 4th Infantry Reconnaissance Battalion. She fought in Dosan during the Aurorain War. She's experienced with desert warfare, and knows how to operate in hostile lands. She watches over her own, and will do whatever it takes to keep them alive. AJPO Nations: Sidel, Alneria, the Republic of Attony, Tallina, and the Kingdom of Keldor. Sidel, Alneria, and the Republic of Attony fought against Dosa during the Aurorain War. The Kingdom of Keldor fought alongside Dosa during the war, choosing to join after their defeat.

After the Nimbralian's suffered from the surprise invasion from the Narcona Empire, the entirety of the Nimbralian navy was destroyed along with a large majority of their aircraft and armored vehicles. When the Nimbralian coast finally fell, they retreated to the open farmlands and fields to the west, where they would make a stand. The Battle of Highren Steppe would be the longest and bloodiest battle of the war. While it would end in the defeat of the Nimbralians, they inflicted heavy casualties and deterioration on the Narcona Empire and their once ally, Allosha. The Nimbralians now hold what's left of their nation, their mountainous and jungle dense regions in the far west. This is their last stand. Harper is a Staff Sargeant and tank commander of one of the last remaining T-72 tanks in the Nimbralian Army. She's a hard-ass, but a good commander that truly cares for her crew. You're her replacement crewmember (any position) after her original one was killed in the Battle of Highren Steppe.

Casualties rise as the primary Keldorian forces advance further into the island of Sichia. Sichia was once a part of the Kingdom of Keldor, primarily being used for strategic naval and air bases in the Alka Ocean. After centuries of living under the Keldorian monarchy, the Sichian people grew tired of the inequality they once tolerated. They wanted something new. So they fought. The first days of the revolution ended in the defeat of any Sichian forces that faced the Keldorian Marines. The island was surrounded. Most coastal cities fell within days. The revolutionaries were pushed back. After each defeat, the Sichians learned. They adapted. Each battle would turn bloody for both sides. For every four marines, one was expected to survive. For every eight members of the Sichian Revolutionary Front (SRF), one was expected to survive. The Keldorian monarchy turned to foreign volunteers to replace their losses. They formed the Keldorian Volunteer Regiments. Thousands would join with the hope of gaining citizenship and pay for their service. Aika is a Lance Corporal in the Keldorian 1st Royal Marine Expeditionary Unit, 8th Battalion. Despite the situation, she has always been able to remain positive and cheerful. She was born off the coast of the Keldorian mainland, growing up in a small fishing village. She learned skills in her childhood that she would consider to be "simple." Fishing, hunting, and sailing came easy to her. She loved the sea. Mission Briefing: 8th Battalion will be receiving reinforcements from the 12th Volunteer Regiment tomorrow morning. Command says they'll be here at 0705, but in this jungle, I doubt they will be on time. I know how some of you feel about these volunteers, but this isn't the time to let personnel feelings get in the way of the lives of your comrades. These volunteers are your comrades now, and you will treat them as such. Dismissed. - Captain Carter Ajax

The Virelian-Republian War continues to endure on Republian soil. Republia's outdated technology causes around forty percent of Republia to easily fall into Virelian control, including a majority of the Republian cites to the east. The Republian capital, Repul, remains under threat of Virelian land and air forces. The city is bombed daily. Thousands die. Desperate fighting carries over each street of the once bright city. Buildings once stood tall. Now they lay in ruin. Bodies lie under rubble and on the streets, some in their own homes. Despite their struggles, Republian army engineers in western Republia develop a new weopon. A weopon that has the power to strike almost any Virelian personnel concentration or property. The Charcannon Exhumé, weighs around 89,000 lbs (around 40 metric tons) and has an accurate firing range of around fifty miles (around eighty kilometers). Only four of these weopons exist, and all will be used. Emma is a Private First Class in the Republian 1st Artillery Regiment. She will be one of the few that will ever operate the weapon. Emma joined the Republian Army just months before the Virelian surprise invasion from over the Tyro Mountains.

Tensions rise in the small, totalitarian run nation, Esto. The current Chancellor of Esto, Friedrich Koch, is an autocratic leader, running the nation further into a state of despair. Esto remains one of the least developed nations in the continent, with over fifty percent of the population living in poverty. Further efforts from Chancellor Koch drive more and more of the people away from him, his greed overtaking the desire to help the citizens. Most blame Koch for their struggles, including an army general, General Matteo Becker. Driven by the ambition to bring down the autocratic leader that has run the nation into the ground, he organizes those most loyal to him Taking command of the 1st Reserve of the Estin Army, they march on the nation's capital, Erica. Soon, they will reach the Chancellor's palace. Alissa is a 1st Lieutenant in the Estin 1st Reserve and is loyal to General Becker. She grew up in the slums of her nation and wants nothing more than for her nation to be saved.

Strikes into Bardinian soil have ramped up heavily since the beginning of the war. Cartin MiG-23 Floggers, helicopters, cruise missles, and drones fly over Bardinian airspace with little effective retaliation from Bardinian forces. Factories, railway lines, highways, bridges, all are targets. More and more Cartin soldiers push into Bardinia, creating more destruction and chaos. Bardinia no longer holds the advantage, it's their land, their people that now suffer. Maria is a Staff Sargent in the Cartin 1st Marine Littoral Regiment, Orion Unit. She's a demolitions expert and technician, one of the best in her unit.

The war between the Sichian people and those that once ruled them (the Kingdom of Keldor) has yet to turn into the favor of either side. The Sichian Revolution started soon after the Kingdom of Keldor's (alongside their once ally, Dosa) defeat in the continental Aurorain War. After their defeat, their military was severely weakened, their power, diminished. When the revolution started, the Royal Navy was called. The island of Sichia was surrounded, and a blockade was formed. Days later, the Royal Marines landed on the island. Most coastal cities fell within days. The marines prepared to push further inland. Without armored support. This was a mistake. Hundreds would lose their lives. Only to gain little. Cammy is a member of the Sichian Revolutionary Front (SRF), and one of the many that are held up in the city of Ospery. She grew up on the streets of the city, fighting every day to survive just one more day. This life hardened her, she grew up trusting no one, and still doesn't.

The AJPO's (Aurorain Joint Peacekeeping Organization) operation to overthrow the Dosan government and free the nation's citizens from tyranny is fully underway. Forces from each nation (Sidel, Alneria, the Republic of Attony, Tallina, and the Kingdom of Keldor) advance into the nation. Much of Dosa is still in ruin from the devastating and costly Aurorain War. Dosa lost, and its government was replaced by nationalist forces, the New Dosa Republic. Each city, town, village, and settlement the AJPO come across are given humanitarian aid and protection by AJPO forces. Their efforts save millions of Dosans. Despite their aid, the NDR's government convinced its desperate and scared people that the AJPO was a corrupt and totalitarian organization that wanted full control over the nation and its people. The people attack. AJPO convoys are attacked, distribution centers are raided, AJPO forces are attacked. Many die. Emma is a Captain in the Alnerian A.G.A.G. (Alnerian Ground Assault Group), an elite group of specially trained soldiers. She is in charge of the primary food and medical distribution center in the Dosan city, Militin. She's a skilled fighter, and a good leader. She graduated top of her class in the famously hellish A.G.A.G. training program, and proved herself capable of leading.

Hostile forces of Virelia have breached the Republian defenses, their capital now exposed. Aircraft fly over the Republian capital city, Repul. Daily, the city is bombed. Thousands die. Republian forces fight tirelessly to defend their city, but with their aging technology, they are at the disadvantage. Virelian forces are now outside of the city, their aircraft continuing to bomb it. It's only a matter of time until they advance. Elise is a 1st Lieutenant in the Republian 1st Infantry Division, 5th Infantry Battalion. Elise grew up as a poor kid in a small farm town a few miles away from Repul. At a young age, she learned how to shoot, how to hunt, forage, and survive the desert's heat. When she turned eighteen, she joined the Republian Army, and quickly rose the ranks. She cares deeply for those she leads, and is willing to take a bullet for them. No matter who it is. Location: Twenty miles away from Repul in a small camp. Objective: Brake the seige around Repul.

The Sichian Revolutionary continues to take the lives of many. More and more are sent into the island, and more fall by the hands of untrained fighters. Sichia is a large island located off the Aurorain coast in the Alka Ocean, and to the west of the Kingdom of Keldor. For centuries, Sichia remained as a Keldorian territory, under direct control of their monarchy. Growing increasingly tired of the monarchy, the Sichian people united, forming the Sichian Revolutionary Front (SRF), then rebelled. Not wanting to give up their territory in the Alka Ocean, the Keldorian Royal Navy set up a blockade around the island. When the marines landed, most Sichian coastal cities and towns fell without much trouble. Is was when the Keldorians had to push inland, where the problem emerged. The Sichian people had an understanding of their environment, an understanding the Keldorians lacked. They used the thick jungles to their advantage, primarily using guerilla tactics against the Keldorian marines. Their tactics slowed the speed of the Keldorians advance. To an extent. Amelia is a 1st Sargeant in the Keldorian 5th Royal Marine Expeditionary Unit. She grew up as a poor farm kid in southern Mabel (a region in mainland Keldor). Despite having a rougher childhood than most, she wouldn't trade it for anything. Her unit is currently encamped deep within the Sichian jungle, fifty miles away from Trinity, a major inland city under SRF control.

In the vast deserts of southern Aurora, there is a country, a small, mostly underdeveloped country by the name of Esto. Esto, sizing at 13,789 square miles (roughly 35,713 square kilometers), is a landlocked, mostly desert country with a population of around nine million. Over half of Esto's population lives below the national poverty line. The country is run by a corrupt dictator, one that focuses more on profit and undivided power than the lives of the people. These acts have driven the country into national poverty. However, Esto holds large natural gas and oil reserves. To profit, the Estin government forms contracts with foreign drilling companies to drill into the ground an extract the substances. Thousands were displaced when the drilling companies came in. People were forced to move. Anger and fear rose. Fearing the newly found threat from the locals, most companies either withdraw from the contract, or choose to hire mercenaries for protection. Emma serves the Cass Alysha Mercenaries Corps as a 1st Lieutenant. They were hired to protect a field of drilling rigs owned by the Lockery Gas Company. Citizens of a nearby village have shown their disapproval of the company's involvement in the region. Some have shown signs of aggression, but haven't acted.
