Assassination of Arthur Holmes

The **Assassination of Arthur Holmes**happened three months after the exposure of Operation Blackfish to the public. It was an act of retaliation perpetrated by the Order of the Assembly after it was revealed that Arthur Holmes managed to escape justice and lied to the government about Operation Blackfish to avoid being convicted for his crimes against humanity.

## Background

*Main article:*Hadford Homicides

In the wake of the Hadford Homicides and the exposure of illegal CIA program Operation Blackfish to the public by the Covert Crusaders, the international community was appalled and the scandal damaged the United States' relations with various countries as a result. The manhunt and the homicides, regarded as a "war crime" by the international community, went down in history as the "biggest act of injustice" in human history. However, another disappointment struck the West Roman public: CIA director Arthur Holmes was able to avoid a conviction by cleverly lying to the US government during his trial, outraging the West Roman public.

To that end, the Order of the Assembly decided that Arthur Holmes should die, lest he create another illegal experimental program worse than Blackfish.

## The Assassination

The assassination occurred three months after Arthur's trial and evasion of justice. On January 1, 2017, Arthur, coordinating a manhunt for rogue CIA agent Tamara Sultanovich and her allies, was heading to his safehouse in West Virginia while simultaneously monitoring his agents' tracking of Tamara.

The attack began when Calliope Lucciano, hiding in the woods, blew up Arthur's vehicle with an RPG, killing both him and his driver instantly. CIA Deputy Director Carole Ostlund, hidden in a separate vehicle, exited the vehicle with a team of CIA operatives and engaged in a shootout against Lucciano, who began shooting up Ostlund's vehicle alongside colleagues Michelle Horst and Mira Wood and other assassins.

At one point, Ostlund, a former United States Army soldier, engaged in hand-to-hand combat against Mira Wood and Michelle Horst, but was easily defeated and left to die by the assassins.

## Aftermath

In order to maintain plausible deniability, the Order of the Assembly implicated the Islamic State of New Palestine, making it look like Islamic State jihadists killed him. The story was "corroborated" by the presence of assassins in the Order of the Assembly that were of Turkish and Arab ancestry. The news media bought the story and the whole world believed that the Islamic State had done the deed.

**Operation Downfall**was was the proposed Allied plan for the invasion of Japan near the end of World War II. In the normal timeline, the planned operation was cancelled when Japan surrendered following the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Soviet declaration of war, and the Soviet invasion of Manchuria. However, in the alternate timeline, the Manhattan Project failed and the Sovet invasion of Japan did not deter the Imperial Japanese into surrendering. In other words, Emperor Hirohito was, in this alternate universe, a suicidal maniac who'd gone mad with power (similar to Adolf Hitler). This led to Operation Downfall, the Allied invasion of Japan.

The operation had two parts: Operation Olympic and Operation Coronet. Launched in November 1945, Operation Olympic was intended to capture the southern third of the southernmost main Japanese island, Kyūshū, with the recently captured island of Okinawa to be used as a staging area. Later, in the spring of 1946, Operation Coronet was the planned invasion of the Kantō Plain, near Tokyo, on the Japanese island of Honshu. Airbases on Kyūshū captured in Operation Olympic would allow land-based air support for Operation Coronet.

In the alternate universe, Operation Downfall became the largest amphibious operation in history.
Adolf Hitler

In the normal timeline, **Adolf Hitler**  (German: [ˈadɔlf ˈhɪtlɐ] ([1]listen); 20 April 1889 – 30 April 1945) was a German politician, demagogue,[1] and Pan-German revolutionary.[2][3] He was leader of the Nazi Party(*Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei*; NSDAP), and rose to power in Germany as Chancellor in 1933 and Führer ("Leader") in 1934.[a] During his dictatorship from 1933 to 1945, he initiated World War II in Europe by invading Poland in September 1939, and was central to the perpetration of the Holocaust.

In the alternate timeline, Adolf Hitler founded the Nazi Party, but was assassinated on February 10, 1933, six years before what would have been the beginning of World War II in the normal timeline. In the aftermath, a civil war broke out between anti-government rebels and the Nazi German government, now headed by Hitler's successor, Pascal Hacke, who turned out to be ten times worse than Hitler himself.
Texas

**Texas** (/ˈtɛksəs/, locally /ˈtɛksɪz/;[9] Spanish: *Texas* or *Tejas* [ˈtexas]) is the second largest state in the United States by both area and population. Geographically located in the South Central region of the country, Texas shares borders with the U.S. states of Louisiana to the east, Arkansas to the northeast, Oklahoma to the north, New Mexico to the west, and the Mexican states of Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo León, and Tamaulipas to the southwest, while the Gulf of Mexico is to the southeast.

In the normal timeline, Texas entered the Union on December 29, 1845. In the alternate universe present in the TACITUS series, Texas entered the Union on August 9, 1833.

The **Second Russian Civil War**was a conflict between the Soviet Union (the government loyalists), and a fundamentalist Christian Orthodox extremist movement, known as the Apostilic People's Front (APF), which seeked to eliminate the Soviet Union (seeing it as too "evil" and "ungodly").

## Background

In the aftermath of World War II, a Christian revival occurred in Russia, with missionaries from Christianity coming to the Soviet Union en-masse with the intention of charity work, primarily assisting the Soviets in rebuilding the country following the Japanese invasion of the USSR, in addition to spreading Christianity in the Soviet Union. The Soviet government welcomed the assistance at first, but then began to antagonize the Christian missionaries in the region when Christianity began to spread like wildfire across the USSR. To that end, a Great Purge was initiated, with mass arrests of Christian missionaries and converts occurring across the country. The main charge: "brainwashing" the people with "foreign" and "dangerous" ideologies. The Soviets apaprently saw all forms of religion and faith as a cancer, a threat to the sovereignty of the Soviet Union, as well as an attack on the legacy of the great Marxist-Leninist heroes, like Karl Marx, the man who founded Marxism in the first place, Nikolai Lenin, and Leon Trotsky. They also saw Christianity as the biggest disease, an "opium for the people", a "crutch for people to stand on in times of trouble", a "brainwashing technique." In the wake of the Soviet persecution, a Christian extremist movement emerged in Russia, known as the Apostolic People's Front. This was a Christian extremist movement that saw the Soviet government as "ungodly" and an evil regime that needed to be removed. The APF launched a series of attacks against the government, starting with mass riots, acts of vandalism against Communist symbols, and eventually, a full-scale war.

Shadow Force

**Shadow Force** is a college sorority that later turns into a vigilante gang and eventually a massive paramilitary force.

## History

### As a sorority

*See also:*Wikipedia page for Alpha Xi Delta

Shadow Force as a sorority was started in 1982.

### As a paramilitary force

Due to Shadow Force's powerful connections from other chapters across the state, as well as the fact that some of the individual sorority members within Alpha Xi had friends and family members in the military, Shadow Force slowly grew into a massive paramilitary force, capable of functioning much like a private military company. This made them feared warriors both in the United States of America and abroad. They were especially notorious for becoming one of the first civilian vigilante gangs to fight the Islamic State of New Palestine in the years 2017 and 2018.

## Equipment

During their early years, Shadow Force did not have much equipment or weaponry aside from home-owned firearms, ranging from hunting rifles to homemade weaponry. However, as time went on and Shadow Force progressed from an ordinary civilian militia movement to a full-fledged paramilitary fighting force, their arsenal massively increased, and its members enjoyed a vast array of military grade equipment. By the year 2018, Shadow Force had accumulated an arsenal of machinegun-mounted Technicals, unmarked attack helicopters, and heavily armored vehicles. At one point, they even had tanks. Appearance wise, Shadow Force initially looked like your average gang, decked out in rather primitive armor. However, as the years went by even this changed: as Shadow Force grew, its members eventually began to look more like a private army, with some members wearing urban camouflage battle dress uniforms (whcih they sometimes wore on top of their civilian clothes). Other times, Shadow Force members would wear a mixture of both civlian clothing and tacical clothing (tactical sweaters with black pants), Kevlar vests, concealed carry vests, load bearing gear, chest rigs, earpieces, and sometimes sunglasses.

NERF

The**Necro-Elimination and Reconaissance Force**(NERF) is a US-based government task force created in the year 2019 in response to the 2019 Prion Outbreak of the Dark Heart Prion.

## History

### Founding and early history

The organization was founded in response to a series of homicides in the English highlands, which led to the discovery of a prion known as the Dark Heart Prion. Its mission was to find and eliminate so-called "Necro-Ghouls", mindless, violent hosts of the Dark Heart Prion in an effort to prevent the Prions from reaching a major population center.

### 2019 Spain Incident

NERF was involved in the 2019 Spain Outbreak, in an attempt to prevent a murderous cult from using the Prions for their own ends. NERF agents were given orders to deploy to Spain, find samples of the Prions, and destroy them before the cult could use them as a bioweapon against the United States of America. They were soon joined by Task Force Reaper, a private military company also deployed to Spain to search for a group of missing tourists. The NERF agents and Reaper PMCs formed an alliance and eventually decimated the cult, although they failed to prevent the parasite from reaching American soil, as a sample of the parasite that had fallen into the ocean following the demolition of the cult's hideout was able to infect a fish, which was then caught by American fishermen and taken to Hunter's Point, Alaska.
St. Petersburg Saboteurs

The **St. Petersburg Saboteurs**(also known as just **The Saboteurs**)isthename given to a group of Russian soldiers within the Russian military that was founded and led by Nikolai Kalinin. Their name came from the fact that all members of this group were considered saboteurs, meaning they were skilled in committing acts of sabotage against the enemy during times of war. They were a tight-knit group that harbored total loyalty to each other and held themselves up to a high standard when it came to loyalty in the field.
After Nikolai left the Russian military, the St. Petersburg Saboteurs temporarily disbanded-until 2017, when they unexpectedly reemerged, this time as associates/allies of Nikolai Kalinin's new organization: Task Force Reaper.

Hadford

**Hadford**is a small town in Wallowdale, a county in Montana. It is the main setting of the Wallowdale Incident in 2017.

## History

### Founding and Early history

The town was founded in 1856, about five years prior to the West Roman Civil War. During said Civil War, Hardford served as a military headquarters for Union soldiers. After the civil war ended and Montana became a state in 1889, Hardford became one of the most popular tourist attractions in West Rome/New American Republic.

### Hadford Homicides

In 2017, a pair of young women going by the name Louise Knight and Lacey Price appeared in the town of Hadford, claiming to be tourists. Almost coincidentally, a few days after their arrival, a series of mysterious murders rocked the community. Police were baffled, but soon evidence arose of a government coverup. Eventually, through a series of shocking and unexpected incidents, it was revealed that the perpetrators of the murders were CIA assassins, agents of Operation Blackfish. Eventually, the CIA operation was exposed, the remaining Blackfish agents (alongside CIA director Arthur Holmes) were arrested, and Blackfish was shut down for good.

North African Confederation

Tunis, Tunisia

Rabat, Morocco

The **North African Confederation** is a political, economic, and military union of North African countries that rose to power in a manner similar to the Federation. By the Cold War, it became a superpower.

## History

The North African Confederation was founded in 1939 by Egypt and Tunisia, during World War II. It initially served as a trading alliance between various North African countries after the discovery of a new rare mineral known as Xusmausium, that led to a massive monopoly in Egypt. Other countries in North Africa joined in on the monopoly and eagerly set up trade woth Egypt and Tunisia.

When World War II reached North Africa, the North African Confederation became a military alliance, with the militaries of all member nations forming an alliance against Nazi Germany and Imperial Italy. It was primarily responsible for aiding Ethiopia when the Italians invaded and later helped the Allied Powers during Operation Torch.

After World War II ended, the North African Confederation became a supranational union, later trading rare earth elements found in Egypt with both other member countries and the international community. The technology from the rare earth minerals led to the development of military technology years ahead of its time.

By the Cold War, the North African Federation became a superpower, much like Asharia.

## Government

The North African Confederation is a federal democratic nation, with President Abu Nazar leading the country as of 2019.

## Military

Because of the rare earth element Xusmausium, the North African Coalition was able to build up a military that was years ahead of its time. Hundreds of thousands of co-ed and multiethnic military personnel were were outfitted with high-tech weapons and armor. By the 1980s, combat robots were created to augment the military, much to the surprise of countries like New Rome, the Orthodox Republic of Russia, and the Federation.

The North African Confederation was brutal in nature, which was made very obvious during World War II: soldiers were known to use overwhelming force to retake or capture cities, destroying infrastructure, landmarks, and oppressing the population. They would also torture people just to intimidate other potential foes. Their robots were known to torture human soldiers to death via dismemberment as a means of scaring their foes, methods seen as barbaric by the international community.

Throughout its history of existence the North African Confederation traded with other countries in exchange for military arms and equipment. It is due to this that the North African Confederacy has one of the largest and strongest militaries on Earth.

German Army

The **German Army** (German: *Deutsches Heer*) is the land component of the armed forces of Germany. The present-day German Army was founded in 1955 as part of the newly formed West German *Bundeswehr* together with the Marine (German Navy) and the Luftwaffe (German Air Force). As of 23 October 2018, the German Army had a strength of 61,721 soldiers.

In the alternate universe presented in the TACITUS saga, the German Army is part of the Armed Forces of both Nazi Germany and Germania.

## History

### Overview (Modern timeline)

A German Army, equipped, organized and trained following a single doctrine, and permanently unified under one command dates from 1871, and the unification of Germany under the leadership of Prussia. From 1871 to 1919 the title *Deutsches Heer* (German Army) was the official name of the German land forces. Following the German defeat in World War I and the end of the German Empire the main army was dissolved. From 1921 to 1935 the name of the German land forces was *Reichsheer*(Army of the Realm) and from 1935 to 1945 the name *Heer* was used. The *Heer* was one of two ground forces of the Third Reich during World War II, but unlike the *Heer*, the Waffen-SS was not a branch of the Wehrmacht, but was a combat force under the Nazi Party's own *Schutzstaffel* forces. The *Heer* was formally disbanded in August 1946.[3]

### Point of divergene (Alternate timeline)

In the alternate timeline, the *Heer* reorganized after the German Civil War, but retained the name it used during World War II under the Nazi regime. However, the German Army grew under the new country of Germania. Throughout the Cold War and beyond, the Heer managed to grow until it replaced the Greater American Republic's military as the biggest military force on Earth, thanks to a series of technological breakthroughs that led to innovations in German military technology.

Free Germany Militia fighters

The **German Civil War**was an armed conflict between anti-Nazi rebels and the Nazi German government in the aftermath of the assassination of Adolf Hitler in 1933.

## Background

### Plans for the Holocaust and the assassination of Hitler

Raven had spent the years since the Third Reich's establishment infiltrating the Nazi German government. closely listening in on Hitler's plans. When Hitler eventually mentioned "the Final Solution" (the Holocaust), the leadership of Raven decided that Hitler had to die in order to preserve the Jewish people living in Germany and across Europe.

Thanks to Raven, news soon spread of Hitler's plan to launch a genocide campaign against the Jews, and soon anti-Nazi dissidents within the German population were on the rise. By early 1933, there were numerous talks amongst German citizens to stage a coup against Adolf Hitler and overthrow him.

Adolf Hitler was assassinated on February 10, 1933. Days later, the Church of Raven publicly announced its responsibility for Hitler's death to the whole world and called upon the German people to rise up against the Nazi "swine" in defense of the Jews in Germany and across Europe. A power vaccum ensued, and later that same year, a militia group known as the Free German Militia arose.

Hitler's successor, Pascal Hacke, came to power and Raven responded by declaring war on the Third Reich.

### The War Begins

The war began with a series of uprisings against the Nazi German government in various different areas across Germany. The Free German Militia and Raven sleeper agents launched a series of attacks against Nazi German military installations across Germany, despite Pascal Hacke's attempts to find and root out the perpetrators.

With this event, the Free German Militia and the Church of Raven, supported by West Rome, Great Britain, France, and various other Allied nations, simultaneously declared war on the Nazi German government.

He later joined the United States of Roman America's Armed Forces and spent four years in the US Army, before transferring to the Special Forces and later ending up in the Special Forces Operations Detachment-Delta, or Delta Force Sometime during his military career, he met, dated and married Markeshia Weaver, a military policewoman. Eventually, he became the father of three kids: Angela, Jerome, and Andre Weaver.

Bruce had a great life as a married man-until his wife Markeshia was murdered during an investigation into drug trafficking in Afghanistan. The killers were never found. Bruce later retired from the military and took up a new occupation: a saboteur for the international syndicate of justice warriors known as Black Rhino. Wanting closure for his wife's death, Bruce decided to investigate the case that Markeshia was investigating before she was killed, leading him to an organ harvesting ring in Korea, which he dismantled almost single-handedly.

Some of his children, inspired by his determination to bring the killers to justice, ended up joining Black Rhino themselves-all except his oldest son Andre, who joined the United States Marines and fought in the Second West Roman Civil War instead.

### The Westbrook Retribution

He is featured in The Westbrook Retribution, interviewing Derek Westbrook about how he took on and defeated a human trafficking ring in Turkey. Later on, it is revealed that he used Derek's testimony as evidence before the United States government that similar human trafficking rings could have possibly existed in other parts of the globe. This event was one of the catalysts for the War on New Dawn.

## Personal details

### Personality

Bruce has been described as a loving father and a protective husband, willing to fight tooth and nail to protect his family. He is especially protective of his youngest daughter Dejah.

The army was established immediately after the 1917 October Revolution (Red October or Bolshevik Revolution). The Bolsheviks raised an army to oppose the military confederations (especially the various groups collectively known as the White Army) of their adversaries during the Russian Civil War. Beginning in February 1946, the Red Army, along with the Soviet Navy, embodied the main component of the Soviet Armed Forces; taking the official name of "Soviet Army", until its dissolution in December 1991.

The **Covert Crusaders**is the name given to a paramilitary organization comprising of ordinary citizens and neighborhood vigilantes.

## History

### Founding and early history

The organization was (unofficially) founded during the Hadford Homicides, its original intention being a civilian criminal investigation unit. Its biggest role is the Hadford Homicides, when Emmett Mack assembled a team of ordinary citizens with experience in detective work to assist in the investigation into a series of murders in Hadford, Montana. Eventually, the Covert Crusaders were able to figure out that Operation Blackfish, a black ops unit in the Central Intelligence Agency, was responsible for the murders. After exposing Operation Blackfish to the public, Emmett worked together with other Hadford citizens to protect Jill Powell, who was being targeted by the CIA due to her affiliation with Tamara Sultanovich and Svetlana Karpova, rogue agents from the CIA.

Exposing Operation Blackfish led to worldwide recognition, notoriety, fame, and distrust towards the government, which Emmett held responsible for allowing Operation Blackfish to continue unchecked for years.

After Operation Blackfish's shutdown, Emmett and his new friends in Hadford decided to make the Covert Crusaders an official and legitimate organization.

Sino-Russian Border Incident

* Federation

Vladimir Isayev

Natalia Danilova

Premier of China

The **Sino-Russian Border Incident**(also known as the **Sino-Russian Border War**) was a military conflict between China and the Orthodox Republic of Russia. It began when Russia deployed soldiers to the Russo-Chinese border after receiving intelligence from the GRU that the Chinese were performing "unethical experiments" and building a possible "army of supersoldiers". On August 30, 2017, Russian soldiers were deployed to the border to investigate, which led to a shootout and a massacre on both sides. This incident paved the way for the Russo-Chinese War years later.

## Background

On January 26, 2019, the Orthodox Republic of Russia received alarming news from GRU operatives and Federation intelligence operatives: the Chinese People's Liberation Army had been conducting rather "unethical experiments" in a government black site known as "Area X". This sparked massive international outrage throughout Russia, seeing that China was experimenting on both prisoners of war and innocent civilians. The most recent victims were members of a missions trip sponsored by Campus Crusader Underdogs. They had been previously arrested by the Chinese Ministry of State Security , suspected of committing "subversive activities" against the People's Republic of China. However, MSS agent Gang Han decided to use the prisoners as test subjects in his own war, aiming to transform them into superhuman assassin-soldiers, the Chinese counterpart of the CIA's Operation Blackfish

## The incident

On the morning of January 30, 2019, Russian soldiers were deployed to the Chinese-Russian border to investigate the claims of experimentation programs. What they found outraged them: they discovered evidence of human experimentation projects being done on POWs and other political prisoners, including some American missionaries from overseas. Russian Army captain Oleg Bratchenko gave orders to get the Americans out, but they suddenly encountered heavy resistance in the form of Chinese MSS agents supported by the People's Liberation Army. Following a vicious firefight, Bratchenko was able to escape with the lives of his men and the American missionaries, but not before killing Gang Han in a vicious hand-to-hand fight.

## Aftermath and legacy

The Chinese government condemned the operation, accusing Russia of "meddling" with affairs that it never should have been involved in. Relations between the two countries were strained and in the end, the tensions eventually exploded with the onset of the Sino-Russian War,

**Marcello Monaldo**is the head of the Italian Mafia and the main antagonist of Gang Wars. He is the mastermind behind the partnership between the Mafia and various other criminal organizations. He is killed by Emmett Mack during an assault on his private boat in St. Louis, Missouri.

## Biography

Not much is known about Marcello's past, but what is known is that prior to becoming the Mafia Don, he served in the Italian Armed Forces. Marcello's father was the Mafia Don, but once he died, Marcello himself became the successor.
Marcello is the mastermind behind the Italian Mafia's plot to form a partnership with various criminal syndicates. He is first seen after his men kidnap Corinna Miller, AKA Bobcat, a member of Black Rose. He is later seen again after Sophie WIlson and Jill Powell are kidnapped by the Mafia. In response to this, Emmett Mack threatens Marcello during a phone conversation, who in turn threatens Sophie and Jill.

Marcello is killed during a raid on his private yacht on the Mississippi River, Missouri: after killing his son Serafino, Emmett taunts Marcello, boasting that everything he ever did was all for naught as his men lay dying all around him and his partnership with the Yakuza was officially destroyed by the efforts of the Covert Crusaders and the Sons of Valhalla.

Marcello laughs it off, then implies that he will start a new partnership with other terrorist groups and criminal syndicates. After implying that he will murder Emmett's friend Marcus, he is ambushed from behind by Jill Powell. Marcello angrily curses Jill, only to be killed by Emmett, who angrily beat and mauled Marcello to death.

## Personal details

### Personality

Marcello was violent, sarcastic and insensitive. He took pleasure in selling girls and young women in his human trafficking ring, seeing women as nothing more than objects for men to use, or machines for making children. This sickened Emmett to the point where he became obsessed with killing him.

He saw Jill and Sophie Wilson as means to an end, a way of forcing Emmett off his tail. However, this boldness cost him his life when Emmett killed him.

## Skills and abilities

### Skills

* **Expert marksman**: Being ex-military, Marcello is a solid shooter.

## Trivia

* The way Emmett kills Marcello is a homage to how Don killed his wife Alice in the movie 28 Weeks Later (both kills involve eye gouging and a vicious beating).
