## History

### Founding

At the age of seventeen, Xander Donahue lived with his father in the Camden borough of London, England, right around the time when the possibility of a civil war between all the countries in the UK. In response to the inevitable collapse of the UK government, a local gun manufacturing business was created by the people of Camden so that they had something to protect themselves with, if London ever was to be invaded by rebel forces. The main leader of the company was Joseph Donahue who went on to give the company to his only child Xander after he was diagnosed with an incredibly rare blood disease and dying less than a year later.

Following his fathers death at the age of nineteen, Xander continued the business, eventually teaming up with a college friend called Wilson Johns, son of a wealthy car salesman. Together, and with a loan from Johns' father, they both kept the company afloat, making enough to have several shops around London. Seeing the company to become a success, the two were approached by Gordon Maxby, the son of Gerald Maxby and heir to the Maxby Federation, a company that was known for being a global shipping provider, and proposed that with the help of his father's company, they can take the company global as long as Gordon was given a joint CEO position. Both Donahue and Johns except immediately.

Around a year later, the company became official on September 3rd 2298 and, with the suggestion from Maxby, the name was changed to Commando Arsenal and stationed their headquarters in a newly renovated tower in the business district of London.

### The Collapse of the UK Government, Creation of the Omega-Beam Gun Line and rise of the English Empire

Close to Commando Arsenal's two year anniversary party, the UK Government finally collapsed and a war began between England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. At the start of the war, Xander Donahue, Wilson Johns and Gordon Maxby were hired by the English government and army to develop state of the art weaponry to fight the other countries with.

Thanks to a breakthrough in weapons manufacturing and laser weaponry, Commando Arsenal soon developed the Omega-Beam Gun line, nicknamed the O-Laser, that was used by the English forces in battles. The O-Laser was made to shoot out a beam of bright yellow light that would burn through human flesh and bone, leaving the affected with a perfectly round hole through their hit point.

Seeing this as a disadvantage, the Scottish and Irish forces temporarily teamed up to bomb both the Commando Arsenal HQ and the main factory that was producing the Omega-Beams. When combined, both attacks caused a total of 210 casualties, as well as putting Johns' on a life support system for eighteen weeks. In retaliation, the English brought in French and American allies to help stop the opposing countries.

The war started in 2300 and ended in 2303 with the English emerging victorious. Afterwards, the three countries were taken over by the now newly formed English Empire, set up by Lord Robert Neville Canterberry. Afterwards, Donahue, Maxby and Johns were awarded with Lordship by Canterberry, and their company grew ten times bigger following it. However, due to its almost unstoppable power, the Omega-Beam Gun line was discontinued, with only the English Empire having access to the remaining stock in a classified location, deemed useable only in case of another war against the English Empire.

### The Assassination of Wilson Johns and the Execution of Gordon Maxby

Eighteen years later, the three founders began to enter their fifties and the inevitable thought of retirement began to dawn on them. Xander Donahue set up a meeting between the three and the board of directors about who would become the CEO after they retired. When the solution of giving the role to their children came up, Wilson Johns said that his only daughter, Alison, had already decided to become an actor and didn't want a part in Commando Arsenal, leaving her off the list.

Xander proposed that his two children, twins Orson and Dahlia, both 16 at the time, should take over the company. Many on the board agreed due to them both being incredibly smart and skilled with manufacturing. However, Gordon Maxby saw this as unfair due to him not having any children, but he was out voted, and the decision to make the Donahue Twins the CEOs after they all retired was approved.

When Gordon's father, Gerald Maxby, found out about the decision, he was furious, wanting the company to stay within the Maxby Federation's control. In anger, Gerald ordered for a group of assassins to kill Donahue and his family. However, he mixed them up with the Johns family, and so Wilson, his wife Desi and their daughter Alison were assassinated by a bomb explosion the assassins placed under their limo as they pulled up to the theatre where Alison's first big movie role was premiering.

With the entire Johns bloodline killed just days after the decision, an investigation went into Xander and Gordon, but nothing was found. Gordon then went to his father for support were Gerald revealed that he meant for the Donahue family to be assassinated, not the Johns'. In a blind anger, Gordon took a gun and shot his father with it until the magazine was empty. One of the house staff called the police who arrested him and, with the help of his top tier lawyers, only was in prison for two years. When he was released in 2324, he found out that not only did he lose his job and Commando Arsenal, making it a guarantee that Xander's children would become CEO, but that his family business, the Maxby Federation, had been bought by Commando and was being run by his distant cousin. Wishing death upon the Donahue family for ruining his life, he became an alcoholic and joined a subtle crime organisation called Black Britain, that committed small, unnoticeable crimes like murders of enemies and robberies.

A year later, Orson and Dahlia Donahue appeared on live TV to celebrate the fact they graduated from Mecford University with high degrees and both excited to run Commando Arsenal when their father retired. In extreme drunken rage, Gordon stole a rocket launcher from the Black Britain weapons vault he was at and went to the site where the broadcast was happening. He arrived just as the Donahue family got into their helicopters and took off. Seeing the twins get into a helicopter, Gordon aimed it at the flock of helicopters and shot a rocket, which shockingly hit one of them, leaving him laughing crazily before fainting.

When he came too, he was in an elite jail cell waiting for a judge's verdict. During that time, Xander came to him and Gordon laughed, saying that now his children never get to become the CEO'S of HIS company. However, Xander revealed that he shot the helicopter his wife, Teigen Donahue, was travelling in alone. Feeling guilty and angry that Orson and Dahlia are still alive, Xander tells him that he will be executed by firing squad, a procedure introduced five years after the rise of the English Empire and was only meant for extreme terrorists. Gordon refused to believe this or the fact that he shot down Teigen's helicopter and not the twins and swore at Xander as he left without another word.

A week later, Gordon was strapped to a chair for the execution, seeing Xander and the twins watching his death, which made him yell 'No!' when he saw them alive before his hood was lowered and he was shot multiple times in the chest, just like what he did to his father.

### The Passing of Xander Donahue and the Promotion of the Donahue Twins

Following the execution of Gordon Maxby, Xander Donahue fell sick soon after, showing symptoms of the blood disease that his father Joseph had. After being tested, it was revealed that he did in fact have the same blood disease. When he broke the news to his children Orson and Dahlia, neither seemed as upset as he expected them to be, not knowing that the twins both had been desperately wanting to run Commando Arsenal since they're were told they would at the age of 16. Wanting to spend his last few days with his family, he retired and asked for the board of directors to prepare for the twins' promotion when they returned. Five days later, Xander Donahue passed away in his death bed at the age of 56 with his children by his side. However, many conspiracy nuts believed that Xander was suffocated with his bed pillow by the twins, as both wanted him to hurry up and die. These theories, however, were never looked into or confirmed, making the conspirators look like nut bags.

A week after the funeral of their father, Orson and Dahlia Donahue became the Leaders of Commando Arsenal and made the company even better than before. In 2328, they invested in a company called High Tech Corporation's robotic weaponry project to make robotic arms and attachments to give to soldiers for war, or swat teams. This would eventually lead to the head of H.T.C's global marketing campaign, Aisha Childe, to suggest that the twins open a branch of Commando Arsenal in Blaze City in North America. After getting a landslide of votes from the board allowing the operation, Orson and Dahlia Donahue flew out from their homes in London to Blaze City to have a meeting with the Senior Council members, something that rarely happens, about opening up shop in the city. All the members agreed to let construction of a Commando Arsenal centre in the the city's business district to commence, opening just a month before the bombing of Techno Tower.

Since implementing themselves into Blaze City, both Orson and Dahlia grew attached to the city of secrecy and corporate power, resulting in them both staying in the city. Rumours state that Blaze City branch of Commando Arsenal are working on a classified project for an unknown source that could lead to the fall of democracy in the whole of Blaze City.

## Other Projects

Since investing in H.T.C's robotics work, Commando Arsenal have been hiring more engineers, scientists and android developers in their branches. In November of 2327, Commando Arsenal was shown on a list of many companies to be one of the global contributors to a project international tech giant, EnigmaTech, was running known publicly as 'NeuroLife', a project that would be to combine people with A.I. programs.
