Projekt Endstation

Projekt Endstation (German for Project Terminus) was a secret Nazi research program featured in the Zombies mode of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. They also make a brief appearance in Call of Duty: Vanguard, where they are photographed in the map Der Anfang. They are also mentioned in Shi No Numa in radios.
==History==
===World War II===
On August 3rd, 1943, under the authorization of Doctor , Projekt Endstation was established at a remote site in Morasko, Poland. The project, helmed by Doctor Ulrich Vogel, was intended to oversee the creation and production of atomic armaments for the war with the use of an experimental cyclotron particle accelerator. On March 7th, 1944, during the twelfth test run of the cyclotron, the device would malfunction and breach the Dimensional Membrane to the Dark Aether, leading to an infestation of necrotized soldiers, as well as several artifacts bonded to various Elder Gods originating from the Dark Aether activating. Five days later, Vogel reports that the cyclotron was now powering itself, and that through the use of observational instruments, the team of Projekt Endstation discovered the existence of the Dark Aether parallel to their own universe. With this sudden breakthrough, Projekt Endstation began redirecting it focus from atomic research to harnessing the power of the Dark Aether, more specifically Exo-Element 1 (later referred to as Aetherium).
With the Reich's defeat drawing ever closer, Ulrich Vogel proposed "Operation Baldr", a plan that would send a Nazi army through the Dark Aether to return to an Endstation lab in Berlin sometime in the future. Operation Baldr took place on January 27th, with Endstation's personnel evacuating the area and Vogel overseeing the arrival of Task Force Baldr into the other dimension. One week after the facility's abandonment on February 3rd, the site was discovered by the Soviets, who stumbled upon the undead inhabiting the facility and the still-active cyclotron. Determined to stop the breach, NVKD Colonel Pavel Lazarev sealed a man by the name of Kazimir Zykov inside the facility in a desperate attempt to deactivate the cyclotron. Zykov was successful, despite his disappearance, and the dimensional tear to the Dark Aether was closed for the time being.
===Cold War===
In 1983, Omega Group, seeking to harness the Dark Aether's power for themselves, came to find the abandoned Projekt Endstation site, seeking to reactivate the cyclotron simply for the repercussions. Under Omega Group's orders, Lieutenant Orlov and Officer Medvedev, despite their eventual demises, successfully reactivated the cyclotron, and as a result, caused smaller dimensional tears to open across the world. To combat this new threat, a CIA-backed organization called Requiem was established by the Deputy Director of the DS&A to combat the undead hordes and discover the source of the dimensional breaches.
Their investigations, in addition to information provided by Samantha Maxis, led to the discovery of the Projekt Endstation facility, and on November 13th, 1983, Requiem forces were dispatched to the facility in an effort to contain the breach. During their time at the facility, the Requiem team was able to partially-resurrect Orlov with the use of Doctor Vogel's Der Wechsler machine, who then assisted the team in dismantling the cyclotron. With the site critical as a result of the cyclotron's overload, Requiem was forced to evacuate, leaving the site to be destroyed by the cyclotron's destruction.
Later, Vogel's daughter, Angelika, who had infiltrated the Omega Group, opened a portal to the Dark Aether beneath the hidden Endstation lab in Berlin, causing an Outbreak in an East Berlin checkpoint with the necrotized Task Force Baldr. She would be thwarted by the Requiem Strike-Team captured by Omega, and the portal closed.
==Staff==
*Doctor Ulrich Vogel - Director of Projekt Endstation (deceased)
*Doctor Lukas Kurtz (formerly, deceased)
*Doctor Oskar Strauss (formerly)
==Creations==
*D.I.E Machine
**The Decompressive Isotopic Estrangement Machine was initially designed to harvest Aetherium; however it was redesigned as a wonder weapon after an assistant misfired the device and caused significant damage to various items, among them being Doctor Vogel's personal vehicle.
*D.I.E Remote Control
**The D.I.E Remote Control is a portable device that tracks and detects the location of the D.I.E Machine, notifying the user if the weapon is in close proximity. It also allows remote usage of the D.I.E Machine.
*Aetherscope
**The Aetherscope is a portable scanner designed for studying the Dark Aether. It is also capable of uncovering strange phenomena, including spectral reflections of past events reoccurring outside spacetime parameters.
*Der Wechsler
**A device created by Doctor Vogel, acting as a decontamination chamber designed to restore the brain functionality of those infected by Aetherium.
*Decontamination Agent
**A component of Der Wechsler made of solid gold. It was stolen in 1945 and stashed away in a nearby tree, though the thieves who stole the agent lost track of the item's placement.

*Despite collaborating with their leader Wolfram Von List, Projekt Endstation consider Die Wahrheit as rivals - derogatorily nicknaming them "The Ghost Chasers".
