G.U.N. (SCU)

The Guardian Units of Nations, abbreviated as G.U.N. or GUN, is a group that appears in the SEGA Cinematic Universe's films produced by Paramount Pictures and its spin-offs. Is an American non-governmental agency tasked with maintaining both national and global security.
Founded in 1958, the GUN was organized to protect the United States from all possible threats that a normal military would not be able to deal with. With agents fully faithful to its ideals and with the sophisticated technologies provided by DARPA, the GUN is perhaps the greatest military power on Earth.
== History ==
=== The First Years ===
==== Foundation ====
The GUN was founded in the 1950s by Dwight D. Eisenhower, the 34th president of the United States, as a secret special forces army. Until its inception, the military unit was joined by DARPA and deployed for threats beyond the reach of the common United States military.
==== Cold War ====
The GUN, equipped with technologies created by DARPA, was very active during the Cold War, working on behalf of the United States.
==== ARK Seal Operation ====
===== The "biohazard outbreak" =====
In 1974, when the US government began to fear the results of Project Shadow, led by Professor Gerald Robotnik aboard the Space Colony ARK, top GUN officials of the time saw the uniqueness of the institute as hostile research, and came to the decision to set a plan to forcibly close the ARK itself. Fabricating a public story that a biohazard outbreak had occurred within the ARK, the military formulated the so-called "Operation ARK Seal," the purpose of which was to shut down the spaceship's research facility, destroy everyone and everything (except Gerald) related to the project and arrest the professor as the cause of the accident. When Project Shadow was completed, the ARK was violently overrun by GUN soldiers, followed by the evacuation of civilians and the killing of researchers. During the attack, Gerald put the finishing touches on the final result of his research: Shadow The Hedgehog, the "Ultimate Lifeform". Robotnik then had him flee to safety with his granddaughter, Maria Robotnik. In the ensuing chase, the two made it to the escape pods, but Maria was shot by a soldier as she helped the hedgehog escape. Mortally wounded, she ejected her friend to Earth in a capsule.
===== Completion of the operation =====
Within a week, the residents of the ARK were all returned to Earth, the space station's research facilities were frozen, and those involved in Project Shadow, with the exception of Gerald, were announced as victims of the crash told to the public. The plan was complete when the project's prototype, the Biolizard, was sealed aboard the ARK after being found in the deepest part of the spacecraft. The ARK was then closed and permanently abandoned, probably to prevent the Biolizard from falling into the wrong hands.
===== Fate of Project Shadow =====
When operations on Project Shadow, Gerald was taken to Prison Island to continue his research under military supervision. GUN later recovered Shadow and brought him to the island for Robotnik to continue his work, but when the professor learned that Maria had been killed, he went mad with grief. While thought to be continuing his research with the black hedgehog, Gerald secretly created a program that would bring the ARK down to earth and destroy it as his revenge against humanity, going so far as to brainwash to Shadow to have him execute his revenge when he awakens. When GUN began to fear that the professor might take revenge, they jailed him. Knowing only the danger of Project Shadow, the military sealed off Prison Island and abandoned the search for Gerald. Robotnik was later executed while Shadow was placed in suspended animation on the island.
==== Multidimensional Clash ====
In 1995, The Glitch materialized a living puppet of sorts resembling Commander Walters and caused it to alert all of GUN Headquarters for agents to locate Pierre Kellams and Keeva Keene, present in the building seeking shelter from the interdimensional threat . As the "traitors" fled, they were found by Abraham Tower, who let them go.
After Kellams and Keene escaped safely, Tower walked over to the real Walters to ask why he had given the order. When the commander denied giving such an order, Tower commented that he should have asked Kellams himself.
===== The SEGA AGES Initiative =====
Following his encounter with Captain S, Pierre Kellams came up with the idea of ​​employing people with special powers and abilities to defend Earth from threats too complicated for DARPA and GUN to handle. Abraham Tower expressly stated that the Initiative would not help them at all, but that it would only unite an unstoppable rebel army into one.
=== Abraham Tower's Directorship ===
==== New Leadership ====
Coinciding with the appointment of Pierre Kellams as the new director of DARPA, Abraham Tower successfully rescued ELN hostages during an operation in Bogota. The Security Council, amazed by Tower's performance, rewarded his courage with the appointment of the new director of the GUN.
==== Projects and Problems ====
===== Beast in the 21st Century =====
When news outlets around the world began running numerous articles about the monster roaming Greece, Abraham Tower refused to send GUN to investigate, considering it a waste of time to listen to such a tasteless and remarkably ridiculous joke. Tower remained steadfast in his decision even when Kellams confirmed the veracity of the story.
===== Dawn of Cold War II =====
Pierre Kellams and Abraham Tower managed to find Sam Gideon at Randy's Donuts restaurant in Inglewood, California. Inside the restaurant the two managers confronted Sam Gideon about becoming a big problem they needed to fix. While Gideon complained that he had indeed found the loot by accident, Tower ordered two GUN agents to escort him home.
Later, at Gideon's Mansion, Kellams gave Gideon background information on the woman who had tried to kill him in an attempt to get back the stolen material, Elena Ivanova. Before Tower left, he assigned a group of GUN agents to watch over Gideon and keep him in the mansion. However, when Sam's house was besieged by some agents of the Order of the Russian Star, both directors had to change plans.
Following his move to DARPA and his training, Sam Gideon joined the GUN in the race against time to stop the Russian operation New World Order. Although at first every member of GUN, from the lowest rank to the highest, decried Kellams idea of ​​turning the reckless Sam Gideon into a super soldier, they had to change their minds when Gideon was able to both get the better of his opponents and was to convince Elena Ivanova to change sides.
===== Electromagnetic "Attack" =====
After Sonic accidentally caused a massive power outage in the Pacific Northwest with an electromagnetic pulse, word of the incident soon reached the Pentagon. During a joint meeting of US military leaders, including Abraham Tower representing GUN, President Elizabeth Winter felt she needed more help investigating the incident and suggested calling Robotnik. Despite the Joint Chiefs' concerns about Robotnik's involvement, Winter told them they had no choice but to consider him on the matter.
==== Chitauri Invasion ====
===== No Invitation =====
When Reala stole the Ideyas from the Joint Dark Energy Mission Facility and escaped along with several enslaved DARPA personnel, Director Pierre Kellams reactivated the SEGA AGES Initiative to counter the threat. President Winter attempted to persuade Kellams to stay focused on Phase 2 and to let GUN handle it, but he finally relented and left everything in Kellams hands.
===== Battle of Isla Del Sol =====
During the Chitauri invasion of Isla Del Sol, President Winter ordered the deployment of the GUN despite Kellams' objection. When the battle continued to stall, President Winter then opted for a nuclear offensive and put Tower in touch with Kellams to persuade the latter. Although Kellams rejected the idea, one of the jets with the bomb took off. With Kellams' help, the SEGA Superstars were able to stop the missile from exploding on Isla Del Sol. After the battle, Director Kellams presented his report to the Security Council, including Tower himself, proud that everyone knew what the SEGA Superstars were capable of.
