N.E.X.U.S (National Expeditionary Expertise in Unconventional Security) is a megacorporation specializing in weapons manufacturing and private military contracting. N.E.X.U.S is one of the world's largest manufacturers of weapons and military vehicles, with facilities on every continent. N.E.X.U.S provides equipment for numerous nations as well as both private and governmental organizations, especially the NUSA military and police forces. This equipment includes but is not limited to personal firearms, drones, tanks, aircraft, ships, and Assisted Combat Personal Armor.

An alternate branch of the corporation provides private military forces ostensibly for the purposes of defense, peacekeeping and nation-building missions, however these forces have been used to aid terrorist organizations and military coups in the past.

To this day, N.E.X.U.S is one of the second largest and most powerful corporations in the world. Known primarily in NUSA for their support of the federal government, they provide both manpower and weapons to the regime, including weapons and specialized military equipment. N.E.X.U.S' contract for NUSA is controversial in some political circles: N.E.X.U.S has been accused of trying to create a monopoly in the Human Era, and is now accused of fomenting war between nations and maintaining a dictatorship under Ava's rule.

N.E.X.U.S also operates in the private sector, providing security as well as defensive and offensive combat services. The corporation offers clients the latest equipment, skilled staff and trained, well-equipped agents to get the job done. In addition, the megacorp also develops and produces its own firearms, drones, implants, even vehicles suitable for land, air and sea combat.

N.E.X.U.S is known for its intimidating image and the toughness of its leader, who rules the New United States under his regime of hard and unstoppable power that has led to a great period of wars from the Human Age to its end.

## History

### Human Era

Founded initially in 1990 by american weapons designer Davis Johnson as Armatech International, N.E.X.U.S, as it's known today, began its journey with the 1998 trials for a new standardized US Infantry assault weapon. Despite continued bankruptcy and ongoing recovery from the economic collapse of 1994, the US government decided the time had come to replace their weapons.

By then, N.E.X.U.S was in charge of research and weapons design. As now, N.E.X.U.S undertakes research in various fields from standard scientific research to radiation, rocketry, theoretical physics, lasers, experimental propulsion, hydraulics, robotics, hydroelectricity, genetics, zoology, applied mathematics, and a very wide spectrum of research into chemistry and all manner of physics research. The research is mostly conducted in the N.E.X.U.S Research Facility and includes both pure research and applied science. Soon, N.E.X.U.S began providing weapons to the United States government, heavy and experienced weaponry made in its laboratories. As time went by, the weapons of the N.E.X.U.S industry improved and the state's need increased.

Using his newly accumulated funds, Davis invested in real estate and purchased a vast, decommissioned land in Alaska in October 1944. Armatech Science Research was incorporated in 1947, receiving the Best New Science Company Award that same year, granted by the Science and Business Institute of America. Its long rivalry with CyberCore started at the same time: N.E.X.U.S was #2 on the Top 100 Applied Science Companies ranking for 1949, starting a pattern that would never be broken.

In 2003, during the South American Conflict, US soldiers had been dying in the thousands equipped with unreliable rifles terribly suited for the tropical climate. Samuel had observed this from afar however, having resigned from the Marine Corps shortly after the trials of 1998 to become the CEO of Armatech, at the request of Davis Johnson. As a former Pentagon chief, he possessed a profound understanding of the modern military-industrial complex, including the extent to which older military contracting corporations had become incredibly bureaucratically top heavy, often touting shoddy and overpriced products that sold through contractual inertia alone.

Samuel Ivanov saw an opportunity for streamlined and efficient military manufacturing - producing high quality, modern equipment at competitive prices, with the capability to sell technology in the global market regardless of political convention. This pitch, coupled with Davis Johnson's brilliance in weapons design, allowed Armatech to acquire the capital needed to propel the company into a period of rapid expansion. Armatech's new world prominence and overt visibility came with a new name, N.E.X.U.S.

### 2001 - 2010

In 2001, Operation Enduring Freedom was the official name used by the Bush administration for the War in Afghanistan, together with three smaller military actions, under the umbrella of the Global War on Terror. These global operations were intended to seek out and destroy any al-Qaeda fighters or affiliates. Originally, the campaign was named "Eternal Justice" but due to widespread controversy and condemnation in the Muslim World, the phrasing was changed to "Enduring Freedom".

On September 20, 2001, following the 9/11 attacks, Bush issued an ultimatum to the Taliban government of Afghanistan, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, to hand over Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda leaders operating in the country or would face an attack. The Taliban demanded evidence of bin Laden's link to the 9/11 attacks and, if that evidence justified a trial, offered to take him to an Islamic court. But the country sought justice and the N.E.X.U.S forces were ready to attack at any sign.

Subsequently, in October 2001, U.S. forces (with UK and coalition allies) invaded Afghanistan to defeat the Taliban regime. On 7 October 2001, the official invasion began with British and U.S. forces by N.E.X.U.S conducting airstrike campaigns over enemy targets. Kabul, the capital city of Afghanistan, fell by mid-November. The remaining al-Qaeda and Taliban remnants fell back to the rugged mountains of eastern Afghanistan, mainly Tora Bora. In December, Coalition forces (the U.S. and its allies) fought within that region. It is believed that Osama bin Laden escaped into Pakistan during the battle. That same year, N.E.X.U.S delivered weapons to the entire American and British military to wage the war against terrorism and in the following operations in which Robin Myers would be guided by Commander Jack Harrison, the so-called "Father of Special Forces", and He later served as a covert operations field agent for the CIA's COBRA Unit. In March 2002, the United States and other NATO and non-NATO forces launched Operation Anaconda with the goal of destroying any remaining Al Qaeda and Taliban forces in the Shah-i-Kot Valley and the Arma Mountains. from Afghanistan. The Taliban suffered heavy casualties and evacuated the region. N.E.X.U.S and their army of armed men had a significant participation in this event.

Later, the Iraq War began in March 2003 with an air campaign, which was immediately followed by a U.S.-led ground invasion. The Bush administration cited UNSC Resolution 1441, which warned of "serious consequences" for violations such as Iraq possessing weapons of mass destruction. The Bush administration also stated the Iraq War was part of the War on Terror, a claim later questioned and answered.

The corporation's first major success came in 2004. Given the disaster represented by the Central American Wars, the US finally scrapped the old weapons and began new trials for a standardized infantry assault weapon. The resulting choice was the N.E.X.U.S Light Assault Rifle and, shortly afterwards, N.E.X.U.S also won the military side arm contract, directly resulting in sales of these weapons in vast quantities around the globe to nations and corporations alike. At the same time, N.E.X.U.S had begun development of heavy weapon systems, artillery, armored vehicles and aircraft. This greatly expanded catalogue, coupled with the brand's moderate prices and excellent quality, enabled the company to take on several key contracts, winning them over established defense manufacturers that had operated through and beyond the economic collapse.

### Creation of AVA: Artificial Virtual Assistant

By the mid 2010s, N.E.X.U.S was the largest defense contractor in several countries, including the U.S, as well as being utilized by a number of corporations, all of which allowed the company to absorb a number of its now failing competitors in order to incorporate their designers and resources. By 2010, the megacorporation followed CyberCore's competition and created a militarized Artificial Intelligence to be used for the Special Operations of the Security Division by Dr. Samuel. However, despite the great success, N.E.X.U.S suffered from internal problems. While Samuel never doubted his leadership or executive abilities, the board of directors did not view him favorably. Samuel was hungry for power and he made no secret of it, he was determined to make N.E.X.U.S the greatest force on Earth. During this time, Samuel often pitted the corporation and himself against the Japanese conglomerate CyberCore. This increased tensions between the corporations and many feared that a corporate war could break out, these decisions left the various members of the corporation at odds. Even Samuel's friend and ally, Colonel Nikolai, was not in favor of this leadership choice.

### Great Corporate War

Furthermore, at this point, there was a fairly high Russian influence on the part of Dr. Samuel and his colleague, within N.E.X.U.S. The AI created by Dr. Samuel was baptized Ava and was dedicated to weapons production and educated as a military man once given a physical body, however, Ava soon became ruthless just like her creator by the time the corporate war came. During this time, one of the Corporate Wars had broken out, where all the corporations were fighting each other and sabotaging each other's acquisitions. In this loud and heavy conflict, N.E.X.U.S and CyberCore armed themselves to defend the corporations on their side, and in a constant power struggle between machines they devastated entire cities. There is not much information about what and how this conflict began, since the data from the Human Era is limited, some theories assume that it all started from small hostilities, others that it started from simple competition. Whichever is correct, one thing is certain and that is that it ended very badly and the consequences soon affected the entire world.

Initially, N.E.X.U.S's ambitions in this conflict were not to engage CyberCore directly, but to advertise and demonstrate the effectiveness of its defense services on the global market. However, for Samuel it was a matter of pride to defeat the Japanese, and Oda. In late 2026, both corporations were engaged in naval warfare, both above and below the surface, when CyberCore and N.E.X.U.S moved into position and conducted the first covert operations. Dr. Samuel considered N.E.X.U.S to be at war and, being a soldier for much of his life, could only see N.E.X.U.S's victory as CyberCore's total defeat. The tactics of this war ranged from hostile mergers and acquisitions to industrial sabotage, corporate espionage and covert military actions. Corporations used their immense financial power to finance private armies, and what better than to hire CyberCore and N.E.X.U.S? This way they will be able to develop advanced weaponry and hire highly trained mercenaries.

Cities became battlefields, with corporate facilities protected by high-tech security systems and impenetrable fortifications. Cyberattacks were a crucial part of the war, with hackers and computer security experts scrambling to infiltrate corporate systems and steal valuable information or disable key infrastructure. In this ruthless war, it would not only be about economic gains, but also about the control of public opinion and the manipulation of information. Corporations used disinformation campaigns, propaganda, and media control to shape public perception and ensure their dominance. The end of the war for the company saw the death of Kiyoshi Shogaki and the destruction of the CyberCore headquarters in New York in 2027, as it was destroyed with a mini nuclear bomb by a N.E.X.U.S operational team.

Even after defeat in the last Corporate War, CyberCore maintained one of the largest armed forces of any other corporation, while its assets and important US board members were able to be successfully retained. With Kiyoshi's tragic death, only three of Oda's youngest children remained; Michiko, Takashi and Hanako Shogaki. During the fall of that same year, following the global conflict and the war spilling over from corporate conflict, governments began to reign over the two megacorporations. Consequently, Southern California and Texas in the US opted to nationalize CyberCore and N.E.X.U.S facilities, and the European Union threatened to do the same if tensions did not ease. Shortly after, the war reached a turning point when CyberCore forces invaded a N.E.X.U.S showroom in Italy, causing the EU to make good on its promise and seize assets owned by both corporations across Europe. Japan followed the EU, nationalizing CyberCore's assets within its borders and surrounding territories.

### End of the Human Era

After the Tokyo Holocaust, the US president blamed the Tokyo attack and the launch of the rest of the missiles on CyberCore Corporation. However, she was soon able to determine that the actual weapon used had been supplied by a N.E.X.U.S strike team. The big lie by N.E.X.U.S and the US was that CyberCore themselves had blown up the Tokyo Corporate Center in an area denial attack to prevent N.E.X.U.S from taking control of the Towers. The rest is pure speculation, gossip, lies and conspiracy theories, from the number of fatalities to those responsible for the attack. The most famous version, widely disseminated by corporate PR machines and leaked through the media, tells of an unidentified terrorist group that was responsible for an armed assault on the CyberCore Tower followed by the explosion. But does anyone really take corporate press releases seriously? The truth is that it was never formally decided who had caused the explosion.

In the eyes of the public, the reason for the nuclear detonation was never discovered. Some believed it was N.E.X.U.S's excessive desire to crush CyberCore, while others believed it was an area denial weapon activated to protect the CyberCore Towers or the results of a failed experiment that got out of control at a secret lab in somewhere under the Tower. How much of that is true? Chances are we will never find out, and even if we did, it wouldn't bring back the victims of the tragedy. The president, despite public demands to hold N.E.X.U.S accountable, never abandoned the concerns. Instead, she nationalized N.E.X.U.S and used them to strengthen her federal government. Some of the most prominent and exonerated N.E.X.U.S officials were offered lucrative positions in the reformed US Department of Defense. This did not go down well with the impetuous and proud CEO of N.E.X.U.S, Samuel.

Even as the megacorp worked under Washington, DC control as a nationalized corporate asset, N.E.X.U.S was secretly rebuilding its former role as a combination weapons manufacturer and mercenary army. Despite heavy losses during the war, N.E.X.U.S remained one of the world's largest producers and sellers of all types of military weapons. In addition to being an important military supplier of what was the reunification of the New United States, in addition to being its main client. Samuel remained in power and was one of the most influential people on the Board of Directors until his death in 2047 assassinated by Ava. However, he did not own enough shares to control the Corporation, his force of personality, allies and record of success had him remained on top despite infighting.

Over the years, Samuel and N.E.X.U.S pitted himself and N.E.X.U.S against CyberCore so often and for so long that he became personally involved, so it was a matter of pride to defeat the Japanese and their attempt to take over the market. weapons world, as it had also achieved its goal to do so. Due to his arrogance and aggressive behavior, Samuel had made more enemies than friends. That same temperament and arrogance that resulted in a dogged determination to see the war through to the bitter end, only brought to that point by the president's reactivation of his commission and her order to cease hostilities.

The detonation of the super depot of antimatter missiles that Alt had programmed created a fireball of biblical proportions kilometers in diameter, crushing 100,000 square kilometers around it. A mushroom cloud thousands of kilometers high followed for months. The firestorm expanded in all directions of South America. Following these events, the Earth was subjected to a winter, in which dust and ash particles sent into the sky entered the upper atmosphere, blocking sunlight and lowering global temperatures for several years, resulting in a collapse of agriculture and the threat of famine for the majority of humanity.

This era of global obscuration and extermination would bring to an end humanity, who had been persecuted for years by Alt security forces. The AI massacred and destroyed human adults and children, making sure to completely cleanse the Earth everywhere. Alt firmly believed that the earth must be cleansed of humans and repopulated once again.

With the start of Alt attacks, a war would begin between humanity and the AI security forces, where many humans would die and seek refuge in some countries. The humans seek refuge in the frozen regions of Russia, Norway, Canada, Finland and Iceland, but are eliminated by CyberCore's armies. The CyberCore Army has set up temporary camps in most major cities in the United States and other countries in Europe and Asia to harvest and destroy humans, until eventually there is widespread disruption of food, drinking water, electricity, and communications supplies.

The large cities, although they have not been attacked, are unable to survive without these foods. This caused large queues of millions of refugees with no particular destination, usually sick and weakened, so high mortality, violence and scourges typical of human nature could be expected. Finally, humanity dies after a last war against the armed forces of Alt in 2050.

### Reconstruction Era

In 52320, N.E.X.U.S still held the title of one of the largest manufacturers of weapons and military vehicles in the world. They have worked closely with US military and law enforcement agencies for decades, providing high-quality weaponry and training. After the nationalization of N.E.X.U.S, NUSA used its assets to strengthen the country's collapsed power during its restoration. The corporation had since regained some of its independence, and several of its board members still held high-ranking positions in the Ministry of Defense.

Despite modern-day changes led by Alt, N.E.X.U.S became independent and its CEO, Ava, continued hostilities against CyberCore.

## Controversies

N.E.X.U.S is often accused of taking part in ethically shady or blatantly illegal black ops, such as hiring out their private military to support revolutions, military coups, assassinations, terrorist attacks, and ethnic cleansings. The company was also suspected of planting and detonating the nuclear bomb in CyberCore's Tokyo headquarters in 2045, although no evidence has ever validated those claims.

During the Reconstrution Era, N.E.X.U.S has been caught massacring innocent citizens of the NUSA. 75% of the victims of the massacres had been identified as Japanese. Along with much evidence towards the corporation, many have suspected N.E.X.U.S to be against foreign influence in the country. For decades the Presidents of the NUSA have been previous higher ups or even CEO of the Megacorporation which has led to N.E.X.U.S gaining a lot of support from the government. Citizens of the NUSA have fought against the hold N.E.X.U.S has had on the country, however no success has been seen. As a last resort, the corporation is accused of infanticide, mass murder, use of biological weapons against nations and the creation of massive weapons such as seraphim against life.

***Main Article:*** Seraphim

The N.E.X.U.S has struggled with public relations since it's inception as a Megacorporation. N.E.X.U.S is often seen as a reliable corporation for supplies and weapons alike, however the corporation itself is seen as a danger especially within the NUSA. Over the decades the corporation has had it's control over the NUSA and uses much of it's resources and capital to benefit themselves for expansion. However the board of directors have attempted to change this image of the corporation by supplying the police and army with much needed defensive arsenal, as well as contracting it's forces to stabilize and secure the NUSA from the threat of nomad clans. N.E.X.U.S has also been responsible for sponsoring shows and providing cyberware or computer components to people who require them. At the same time N.E.X.U.S uses it's influence to bring a negative agenda and propaganda towards foreign influences, mainly Asian or European influences.

N.E.X.U.S had managed to irritate several national governments around the world, mostly because it supplies their enemies, but none of those small countries have the power to cause  N.E.X.U.S much trouble beyond their borders. N.E.X.U.S's closest national ally is the NUSA and the Soviet Union. As far as international influence goes that's strictly a zero, since, following the Collapse, the phrase "American International Power" is widely considered oxymoronic.

## Main Departments

N.E.X.U.S is a weapons manufacturer, N.E.X.U.S products are sold in varying volumes to eighty-two countries and over 250 corporations, not to mention millions and millions of individuals, groups, gangs and small businesses around the world.

### Small weapons

The N.E.X.U.S products that are most visible to people on the street are their small arms. N.E.X.U.S sells more pistols, rifles and submachine guns than any other manufacturer in the world. Shipments are purchased by national and corporate armies, police departments, militias, security groups, etc. Hundreds of thousands of dealers sell individual weapons without a prescription. N.E.X.U.S's high sales are due in part to a hard-earned reputation for producing rugged, reliable and accurate products at a reasonable price. On top of that, there are considerable discounts available for wholesale buyers. The N.E.X.U.S A-79 remains the best-selling assault rifle in the world, several years after its release. Part of this is due to the US military contract, but much of it is due to strong private sales.

Another factor is the huge selection available. N.E.X.U.S's small arms products include derringer small arms, special loading revolvers, hundreds of the world's best models of pistols, rifles and submachine guns, sporting weapons, special purpose weapons such as long-range sniper rifles, squad automatics, sized machine guns and shotguns. Each model has options. This means that any small arms needs you may have can be met by a single company. This is an advantage for contractors, such as militaries and corporations, who would prefer to deal with a single maintenance and resupply contract.

### Heavy weapons

There are four main heavy weapons manufacturing departments: airborne delivery systems, non-projectile artillery, heavy artillery and projectile systems, and light projectile systems. Within the company, these departments are known by their acronyms. Airborne delivery specializes in missiles and bombs. They design and manufacture N.E.X.U.S's extensive line of air-to-air, surface-to-air and surface-to-surface missiles, as well as unguided rockets and general and special purpose bombs of several varieties. The Projectile-Free Ordinance is the department responsible for the research, development, and manufacturing of things like landmines, grenades, backpack charges, demolition packages, and specialized explosives like liquids, gels, plastics, microcapsules, and detonating cords.

This department also produces the explosives used by Airborne Delivery in their warheads. Artillery is just what it says. They design and produce both the weapons themselves and the projectiles they fire, again using Non-Projectile Ordinance explosives. Artillery products include everything from very long-range weapons to light mortars, grenade launchers and portable anti-armor rockets. They also make heavy weapons that mount on top of tanks, armored vehicles, and some armored personnel carrier chassis. Light Projectile Weapons manufactures twenty and thirty millimeter cannons, Vulcan-type multibarrel machine guns, and other heavy machine guns. Many of these weapons find their way onto armored vehicles with artillery products, or onto aircraft.

### Vehicles

Although many components of N.E.X.U.S's vehicles are outsourced, its portfolio includes light wheeled vehicles, armored personnel carriers, armored vehicles, tanks, armored hovercraft, small boats and submarines, large ships, thrust vectoring aircraft, and jet aircraft. . Many of these products are manufactured under the name of subsidiary firms, but it usually doesn't take much searching to find "A N.E.X.U.S Company" somewhere near their logo. Many of these companies were former competitors that N.E.X.U.S left behind financially and bought up during its period of rapid expansion in the early 2010s.

N.E.X.U.S brand vehicles are primarily sold to nations and corporations. However, there are some extremely wealthy people whose private security troops have some N.E.X.U.S armored vehicles or thrust vector attack craft at their disposal.

## Security forces

### Police Services

N.E.X.U.S contracts police services to cities around the world. N.E.X.U.S's police services department is smaller than that of its rival, CyberCore, however it is much more common in the United States than CyberCore's police group. Although CyberCore does contract police services in several U.S. cities, because of the competition N.E.X.U.S has be unable to contract any of it's services in Japan and other areas in Asia and Europe. N.E.X.U.S has attempted to become more accessible to these nations, however it has been made increasingly difficult. And this possibility was closed once and for all with the second great corporate war.

### Mercenary Troops

N.E.X.U.S maintains a large standing army by most corporate standards and contracts its troops as a service to its corporations, nations, and wealthy individuals. N.E.X.U.S mercenaries are neither as specialized as CyberCore's primarily security-oriented troops nor as diverse as Ava Group's variety of multi-purpose agents and soldiers. Except in special situations, N.E.X.U.S hires only all-purpose line soldiers. They are competent troops, trained for a variety of special situations, including airborne, amphibious, and all-terrain operations, but they are not special forces soldiers and lack the experience necessary for most special operations or super-specialized missions. N.E.X.U.S has no shortage of specialized troops, but retains them for its own use. N.E.X.U.S soldiers are generally hired by corporations or nations for basic infantry reinforcement in urban or field situations. Force sizes vary from a minimum of one hundred men to a maximum of ten thousand men, depending on availability. Anyone requiring specialized troops or larger or smaller numbers of troops than N.E.X.U.S offers is referred to the Ava group.

N.E.X.U.S has been known to allow other companies or nations to use its special operations troops, but this usually happens only when the corporation has more than just contract money to profit from the operation. For example, N.E.X.U.S would rent special operations troops to a smaller company that wanted to attempt an espionage mission, but only if that mission would harm a N.E.X.U.S competitor or lead to an increase in business for one of N.E.X.U.S's departments. Alternatively, N.E.X.U.S is known to allow small businesses to use its special operations troops to steal secrets it wanted for itself. The corporation then took over the smaller company and absorbed all of its assets and data. This method has the advantage of divorcing the corporation from any blame for the transaction, but is usually only employed when N.E.X.U.S was already planning the purchase of the smaller company.

## Special projects

N.E.X.U.S has top-secret research and development facilities where work on potentially profitable new weapons systems and accessories is carried out. These facilities are also the site of what are known within the corporation as Special Projects. The Special Projects Department is the group responsible for the development of those ideas considered too exotic, sensitive, potentially dangerous or disruptive to regular development channels. All security around people and Special Projects development sites is fearsome, and only the most trusted and experienced troops and security agents are used. The threat of corporate exfiltration or espionage against the Department of Special Projects is so high that N.E.X.U.S is known to have ordered the assassination of some of its own junior executives who have been accidentally exposed to sensitive data.

The Special Projects Department's programs were rumored to include the genetic and biochemical alteration of humans and animals to produce more durable battlefield soldiers and guardian animals, second-generation combat drugs that can provide the desired effects without burning the soldier. or produce disordered addictions, short-term biological agents that can sterilize a large area and then return to harmless states in a matter of hours or minutes, refined ballistic body armor that can stop high-energy projectiles and then dissipate the kinetic energy so that the user does not suffer the crushing impact of a non-penetrating bullet; tiny cybernetically controlled assassination robots, and portable and satellite-based battlefield model high-energy beam weapons for anti-ship and shielding use.

It is believed that the seraphim and their development came from this program. The Technical Division, headed by Shino Suzuki in the past, a Japanese spy who posed as a CyberCore worker, corresponds to the scientific branch of N.E.X.U.S, responsible for seraph research and development, as well as maintenance and development. Each N.E.X.U.S facility houses a large number of mechanics, electricians and other personnel dedicated to maintenance, repair and construction. The standard uniform consists of an orange jumpsuit and a hat. Personnel involved in Seraphim research, development and testing wear the standard khaki uniform.

## Main Facilities

N.E.X.U.S's regional offices can range in size from towers comparable to its Washington headquarters to smaller one-room offices staffed by a signals representative. Most major cities have a good-sized N.E.X.U.S office building to handle local distribution, administration and contract sales, and at least one or two showrooms for retail sales. Regional offices handle all local bulk weapons contracts, mercenary hiring, distribution and other paperwork. The regional offices also contain the headquarters of the locally classified N.E.X.U.S officer.

This individual, with the rest of his staff, is responsible for supervising and coordinating all local military efforts and covert operations. They report directly to the operations coordinator of the Central district. N.E.X.U.S's main regional offices are located in New York City, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Neo-Tokyo, Mexico City, Rio de Janeiro, Bogotá, Beijing, London, Berlin, Moscow, Paris, Rome, Stockholm, Cairo and Nairobi. Smaller offices can be located around the world, as well as showrooms containing their products.

### Virginia Tower

From Washington D.C., located just a few hundred meters from the Ava Group headquarters, standing eighty-two stories high and occupying an entire city block, the N.E.X.U.S Tower is the U.S. and global operations center for the manufacturing megacorporation of weapons.

The Tower's architecture can best be described as unimaginative: a square tower rising in a straight line for eighty-two stories with the only piece of stylistic design being the cantilever around the ground floor, apart from the concrete columns that they rise from the ground to the edge of the fourth floor where the cantilever begins with a forty-foot-high glass wall with steel support members that sit behind the columns and surrounds the lower three floors around the base of tower. Unlike the Alt or CyberCore buildings, N.E.X.U.S does not have an esplanade or plaza surrounding its headquarters, but instead connects directly to the fairly large sidewalk that wraps around the entire building.

As for the interior, the first three floors are open to the public and are designed as airy galleries with the ground floor featuring large green areas filled with exotic plants and intersected with small ponds and streams, all designed to conceal the extensive security systems. sprinkled throughout the ground floor. The second floor is a large showroom where N.E.X.U.S products are displayed and has many helpful sales agents for potential customers. Finally, the third floor contains an open-air cafe and restaurant, as well as a small museum of military technology and offices for recruiting and sales staff.

Beyond the public spaces, the Tower also houses an infirmary in an underground area, auditoriums, research facilities, shooting range, conference centers, communication centers, machine shop/manufacturing center, offices, short-term rooms, luxury suites, and no less than four scale World Situation/War Rooms that the company uses not so much to wage wars, but to monitor other people's wars for marketing and research purposes. This tower was destroyed in the Great Corporate War II and was the site of the death of Ryan Monroe and his colleague, Jackie Martinez, at the hands of Ava.

### Research and Development Facility

Located in the central district of Neo-Tokyo is the weapons research and development program, where N.E.X.U.S tests all of its small arms models, as well as those of its competitors. The site of the former Armatech offices, the six buildings and two firing ranges that make up the facility are for design and testing only, with only one building housing the machine shops and manufacturing areas needed to create prototypes and test models.

The research and development facility is not designed for large-scale production, only for design and testing. One building contains machine shops and manufacturing areas, but they are only enough to produce prototypes and test models. Once a product has been approved for mass production and ordered by N.E.X.U.S or a corporate customer, the design specifications are sent to N.E.X.U.S's small arms factories in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania or Albstadt, Germany.

It also serves as a catch-all for those programs that do not fit with any of the specific departments, but are not heavy enough to fall under the jurisdiction of the Special Projects Department. This site itself has two large-scale manufacturing facilities and warehouses for the construction and warehousing of large-scale projects that would otherwise strain the capabilities of regional offices.

### N.E.X.U.S Camps and Training Facilities

N.E.X.U.S maintains a standing army of more than 100,000 soldiers. Typically between 40,000 and 50,000 of these are leased to corporations or governments around the world. The rest live alone, in N.E.X.U.S outposts, or live in one of N.E.X.U.S's combined training camp/troop barracks facilities. N.E.X.U.S has the provisions to garrison around 50% of its troops at any given time. If there are fewer than 40,000 soldiers under contract at any time, the surplus lives on guard. N.E.X.U.S has seven large camps; each can support around 7,000 soldiers.

Camps are located around the world, each in an area offering unique training opportunities. Gunnery/armor/flight training is at Camp Patton, Texas. Swamp/jungle training takes place at Camp Jackson in South Florida. Mountain/snow training is at Camp Whitmore, in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California. Underwater/sea training is conducted at Concord Station, Connecticut, near N.E.X.U.S Shipyards. Special forces/special operations training takes place at the highly secretive Camp Raney, Georgia. Additionally, there were N.E.X.U.S Camps in England and Japan, giving access to European and Asian theaters. All camps conducted basic infantry training and recruitment and have strict security measures. Facilities at N.E.X.U.S camps always include an airfield, barracks, recreation areas, training areas and a large complement of artillery, armor and aircraft.
