## Summary

An Insurgency group led by former LCDM pilots. Due to their former faction's lack of interest towards giving their troops effective Garrisai that had any chance of countering the AECMU, they decided to break away before they would be dragged down with the NDRC when they would inevitably fall. Fueled by a vigilante-inspired ideal and pure distrust of the NDRC, they became a mercenary-like powerhouse that few even dared to go up against. Despite their lack of numbers, they made up for it in sheer skill and knowledge on the battlefield.

## U.N.I. Article

A faction forged a month before the fall of the NDRC. After the First Armeli invasion, the LCDM were only barely able to overpower the invading forces with their prototype Garrisai. While these machines were powerful against warships, it was highly unlikely they would be able to counter another Garrisai should the Mercury Legion return. Due to the unreliability of these "B-Types", Lieutenant Marie Winhart protested against the use of these Garrisai. However, her advisors ignored the complaints, arguing that the upcoming Project Resurga would already be more than enough for a surefire victory.

### Fall of the NDRC

So many lives were lost during the Second Armeli Invasion, and the fragile frames of the B-types sealed the fates of many talented pilots. Disgusted by the LCDM's blatant disregard of soldier’s lives, Winhart and a small band of pilots broke off from the NDRC, calling themselves the Unscathed (since they were no longer affected by the NDRC’s failures). While they only started off with the B-Type Garrisai they had already been using, the Mercury Legion's second invasion and confiscation of the Project X Garrisai was the perfect opportunity to steal one of the experimental models for themselves. Thus, Marie Winhart and her partner, Richard Sebas, found and subsequently stole the Artillery II.

Around the same time, a soon-to-be Unscathed agent by the name of Samantha Jenkins stole the blueprints and prototype model of the Arcandy Compact Frame. Since this Garrisai frame was a high-output design designed to be used by ace pilots, the Unscathed captured an LCDM Garrisai Supply Warehouse to produce their own cheaper units. Because the ACF itself was hard to produce, the Unscathed settled with their own version of the CSF-S3b Castel Ground Type: The ACF-V1a Insurgency Ground Type. Unlike the Castel GT, this version was much better armored and armed, while still being reliable and easy to repair. Using a hybrid between the Castel Frame and Arcandy Compact Frame, as well as weapons custom-built by the UNI, it was renowned for its performance against even the state-of-the-art Revolta Ground Types. A similar version of this machine would be designed by the LCR in the form of the Castel GT-II.

### Pre-Uprising Era

The Unscathed were beginning to grow larger, claiming territory owned by the fallen NDRC, even gaining some ground in some small Mercury Legion territories as well. They had seized the fallen city of Polaris, and used its old Garrisai Citadel as their main headquarters. After a long stalemate over territories against the Mercury Legion, General Daniel Sherman attacked one of the Unscathed's sister bases in Cassiopeia, stealing the three Prototype Arcandy Compact Frames. This experimental machine was intended to be a mass-production model that would change the aforementioned stalemate. With the files of this design being stolen following Sherman's attack, the Unscathed had to improve a limited number of their Insurgency Ground Types into the ACF-V1aF Insurgency Delta Types (named after the division Marie and Rick were formerly apart of). While the internal frames of these machines were barely modified, the armor they used was reinforced with a Nexus-inspired shielding system. The added strength of these Delta Types also allowed for fixed weaponry, preceded by the handheld weaponry the Insurgency Ground Types consistently used. In order to reduce the power strain placed on this unit, the internal frame's power networking was given External Fuel Canisters to be much more efficient when paired with the Arcandite Core. Despite being inferior to the Arcandy Compact Frame MKIII, they were able to defeat several of the RSF-MKIIIa Revolta Ace Customs deployed by the Mercury Legion. Surprisingly, these Ace Customs were designed from the MKIII itself.

### Uprising Era

The Unscathed played a primary role in the Harbinger Uprising, serving as a threat to both the Mercury Legion and recently surfaced Lance Core Remnants. Despite scoring a number of victories against both factions, they suffered a crippling loss when the Legion launched an attack on Guardia 7, following the victory they scored alongside the LCR in the Battle of Midnight Base. This was made worse when the Swords of the Maverick rose to power, which not only killed off many of the important leaders of the LCR, ML and UNI, but also annexed their troops into their cause. This left the UNI in shambles, as did the ML and LCR, until an alliance was forged between the three's remnant forces by the group known as Legacy Team. Under this group, they would defeat the SoTM and liberate Decholon from its history of oppression for good.

### Post-Uprising Era

After the conclusion of the Harbinger Conflict, a treaty was made between the LCR and UNI to serve as co-defenders of Decholon, where the UNI would no longer be hostile if they were allowed to keep their territories. While still being at odds with their old adversaries, the UNI decided that being on good terms with the NDRC would be better for the people of Decholon. This was further supported by the agreements made between LCR leader Alexander Baltimore, and UNI leader Katherine Isakura. The joint military between the LCR and UNI would become known as the Decholon Garrisai Defense Corps. The Arcandy Compact Frames would still be used by the Unscathed, despite being over a decade old, and continue to perform with a solid effectiveness. When the New Decholon Republic of Concord was revived as the New Decholon Reformative Coalition, the Sixth Series of Mass-Production Garrisai began.
