## Personnel

### Notable Members

* Major Malcolm Castillo
* Major Amanda Xander
* Lieutenant Mackenzie Chang
* Sergeant Michelle Daniels

**The** **82nd Assault Battalion** is a highly-trained unit of the True Sons Ground Forces, serving under Lieutenant Colonel Fredrick Lewis. Likened to the Army Rangers of the True Sons, the 82nd were almost all veterans of the original True Sons under Antwon Ridgeway, and as such, had seen serious combat against many enemies in their time. During Operation Phoenix Fall, the 82nd were deployed stateside, leading incursions against raiders and warlords, and eventually, after Lieutenant Maxwell hacked into the SHD Network, operations hunting down and either recruiting or killing Division agents across the country.

Following the death of Skyler Brooks, the largely intact 82nd formed into a warlord faction, becoming one of the most organized and dangerous of the many splinter factions of the True Sons Remnants. They were based out of an underground train yard somewhere beneath central Maryland, also used as a major supply depot of weapons and ammo, under the callsign "The Last Castle".

Lieutenant Colonel Lewis, along with several surviving officers, had managed to get the trains running again, and as such, were able to amass a major stockpile of weapons, ammo, and supplies, as well as maintain effective supply lines. They were believed to have access to several dozen armored vehicles like Humvees, at least one squadron of UH-60 Blackhawk helicopters, and the personnel to maintain and repair them, as well as the aforementioned supply trains.

While most True Sons Remnants could be seen as mere raiders or small lone bands of fanatics, the 82nd had enough men and firepower to prove a legitimate insurgency, and often used small unit, unconventional warfare tactics against military targets, though Lewis made sure they did not harm civilians if at all possible.
CONFESS Comms: Measures in Place

## Measures in Place

### Description

Colonel Arkady, Commander of the Siberian Wolves, ensures preparations are finalized for Protocol Alpha 117

### Speaker(s)

Colonel Artyom "Red Leader" Arkady Unknown Siberian Wolves Officer

**Col. Arkady:** This is Red Leader. Are the assets in place?

**Siberian Wolves Cpt:** Everything's set here, Colonel. And don't worry, I heard your concerns about what happened in Indonesia. I personally inspected everything and triple-checked for any signs of sabotage or damage.

**Col. Arkady:** Our men are inside the facilities? And we've made certain of their loyalties?

**Siberian Wolves Cpt:** Of course. All of them passed the trials and interrogations. Just in cause, we've made sure none of them have familial ties or recently traveled to any areas associated with the SUP and URPV. They will perform their duties if the order is given.

**Col. Arkady:** Hopefully it won't come to that. Have we maintained secrecy on this operation?

**Siberian Wolves Cpt:** Nothing on friendly or hostile radio. Our men have been checking every piece of mail that moves into or out of our territory with codebreakers. We've received no indication anyone else knows about the plan. Just in case, we led a couple raids over the border and captured a few Russian civvies. Had them do the hard work for digging then shot them and burned the corpses in the wilderness. Retribution for their sins, if you ask me.

**Col. Arkady:** Good work. Keeps the number who know the locations to a minimum.

**Siberian Wolves Cpt:** And, as you requested, I personally saw to the installation of a failsafe mechanism. If one device experiences tampering, the remaining ones will activate. They're all secured by a network that once activated, can't be turned off by anything. No key, no password, no even an EMP. When the clock starts ticking down, the best the Russians can do is run.

**Col. Arkady:** Excellent. I have to meet with President Aleksandra. If all goes according to plan, we'll be dining in the ruins of the Kremlin by the end of the week.

**Siberian Wolves Cpt:** I would ask what happens if it doesn't go according to plan, but that's what all this is for, isn't it?

**Col. Arkady:** Exactly. One final bite to leave all of Europe. The Geneva Strategic Alliance and Volodin think they can enslave us. But Siberians won't go quietly. We'll show them our teeth and failing that, our fire. If the republic falls, I'm going to take as many of those Russian bastards with me as I can. Volodin will only rule over a land of ash and bone.
34th Vipers Comms: Investigating Atlanta

**Blackburn:** Buzz, you got a minute?

**Gordon:** Sure thing, Blaze. What's this about?

**Blackburn:** We've intercepted chatter on True Sons activity in Atlanta, don't know why they're going there. But, we've found out that Major Alice Walker is part of the detachment sent there.

**Harold "Buzz" Gordon:** Walker's little niece there? In Atlanta?

**Blackburn:** Yeah, it's confirmed. We're gonna send a recon team to investigate what they're doing there, but we're gonna try and avoid them at all costs, don't want to kick the hornet's nest yet.

**Harold "Buzz" Gordon:** Send me in with the team.

**Blackburn:** You sure about that, Buzz? I know what you're thinking but she's a True Son not a Ghost anymore, she practically murdered her own brothers and sisters just because of the Cerberus Protocol. She's beyond reason.

**Harold "Buzz" Gordon:** I appreciate your concern, Blaze. But this just precaution in case we bump into each other. Alice still respects old-timers like me and just like you said, she admires the old-Ghosts like us. Let's just hope this works.

**Blackburn:** Fine then. But I'm gonna take this risk, because I trust your judgement. Don't want the True Sons finding out about us.
Anthony "Nomad" Perryman

**Anthony "Nomad" Perryman** is a Ghost Recon team leader. After the Ghost Recon Civil War by then newly formed First Sons, Nomad joined the other survivors in joining the Remnants, where he assigned to become a squad leader.

## History

Born on May 30th, 1980, in Boston, Massachusetts. Nomad was an Army brat who spent his childhood moving from base to base. He joined the US Army at the age of 18 and underwent selection for Delta Force at 24. Spent three tours with counter-terrorist Task Force 88 before being recruited into the Group for Specialized Tactics (The Ghosts).

During the activation of Directive 51 and the Cerberus Protocol, Skyler Brooks spoke to Senior Ghost William Ross on possibly sending an operative to Washington State to recover her son, who was attending college there and was unable to get to either his family home in Alaska or his mother in D.C. While Ross was initially hesitant, Brooks pressured Ross that she owed him for *"the fire (she) pulled him out of in Mexico"*. Ross relented, agreeing to send Nomad, who retrieved Riley and brought him to the White House, where the Division and JTF had recently set up their D.C. headquarters.

Following the Ghost Recon Civil War, he, his family, and the other surviving Ghosts managed to travel to Fort Bragg where they encountered various personnel from United States military along with members of Team Rainbow and Ghost Recon, who suffered similar to attacks against the True Sons, of which they banded together to form the Remnants.

### Psychological evaluation

Always remains completely calm, even under the greatest pressure. Nomad is the epitome of the strong and silent soldier type: able to repress his emotions and to remain completely objective under any circumstances. Past teammates would joke about checking his pulse during freefall jumps to make sure he was still alive. He gets antsy when on Rest & Recuperation and has trouble adjusting to the “mundane day-to-day life” when not deployed. This affects his personal relationships outside the military. Has been married and divorced twice, with a teenage son by his first wife. He struggles to maintain a relationship with his son, who blames him for having been an absentee father.
Black Tusk ECHO: Cinder Force

**Titan:** Ya'll see anything yet?

**Backblast:** Shut up, Olson. I can't focus with you asking that question every ten seconds.

**Prowler:** Titan, get back to watching the flank.

**Titan:** Fine, fine.

**Backblast:** Thank you. I thought I was gonna have shut him up by force.

**Prowler:** Please, Titan would snap you in half like a saltine cracker.

**Backblast:** Why are you on his side?

**Prowler:** I'm not. I'm on the side of truth.

**Backblast:** Sure you are.

**Prowler:** Alright, Gandhi. Need to go and meditate?

**Backblast:** Shut up.

**Prowler:** *(cruel chuckle)*

**Backblast:** Racist son of a bitch.

**Prowler:** Hey, I got something.

**Backblast:** Where?

**Prowler:** Two o'clock. Four foot-mobiles and a Hydra.

**Backblast:** Cleaners?

**Prowler:** Three of them. Two Sweepers, one Incinerator. I don't recognize the fourth. That's not a uniform I'm familiar with.

**Backblast:** Holy shit. I think that might a True Son. You can see the flag tattooed on his arm.

**Prowler:** What? I knew the two were allies. But I didn't know the True Sons had people on the ground.

**Backblast:** Probably providing logistical support?

**Prowler:** Maybe. Backblast, you're with me. We're gonna follow them. See where they're headed.

**Titan:** What about me?

**Prowler:** Stay here and guard the safehouse with Medusa and Techie. Anyone or anything that comes through that door that isn't me or Singh, you light them the fuck up. Got it?

**Titan:** Now that I can do.

**Prowler:** Good. Come on, we can't afford to lose them.

**Backblast:** I don't think that'll be a problem. We can just follow the trail of fire.

Butchering of Silverton

## Butchering of Silverton

### Losses

* Civilians (621 killed, 1 escaped)
* Hellhounds (no losses)

### Outcome

* Skyler Brooks orders Hellhound Battalion dissolved, and its soldiers relieved from duty pending further investigation, though they would be reactivated months later by Major Skrye.
* What remains of Silverton is bombed clean off the map to cover up the event.

**The Butchering of Silverton** was an extremely controversial operation gone awry, when a unit of 1st Biological Warfare Corps known as Hellhound Battalion, were sent in to investigate reports of unusually high rates of Dollar Flu cases in the small mountain town of Silverton, Colorado. The unit proceeded to go dark from their superiors for four weeks, during which time they enacted a brutal campaign of scorched earth "sterilization" of the town, burning it to the ground and brutally slaughtering all but one of the town's 622 residents, a teenage girl who managed to escape to a nearby True Sons base.

Skyler Brooks herself, outraged not only at Hellhound disobeying orders, but their completely unnecessary sadistic actions, dissolved the unit and ordered all of its soldiers relieved of duty until an official investigation for war crimes could be conducted. To cover up the operation, the True Sons proceeded to bomb what remained of the town clean off the map, going so far as to denotate an entire mountain face onto the town's remains, covering it up as a landslide.

Hellhound's actions passed into urban legends and ghost stories, with most new True Sons only hearing scattered rumors of the events. However, certain officers, among them Major Sabine Skrye and Captain Gabriel Nyberg, saw Hellhound as a key part in combating new biological threats thanks to their brutal tactics that ensured no contamination would survive, regardless of the civilian collateral.

In secret and without General Brooks' approval, Skrye ordered Hellhound reinstated following the activation of Firebreak Protocol￼ and assigned to command the forces of 1st Biological for a new operation in New York City.
AKM

The **AKM** is a Soviet-made assault rifle used by multiple factions within the Phoenix Fall universe, including the True Sons, Cleaners, and Exiles.

## Origins

Introduced into service with the Soviet Army in 1959, the AKM is the most prevalent variant of the entire AK series of firearms and it has found widespread use with most member states of the former Warsaw Pact and its African and Asian allies as well as being widely exported and produced in many other countries. The production of these rifles was carried out at both the Tula Arms Plant and Izhmash. It was officially replaced in Soviet frontline service by the AK-74 in the late 1970s, but remains in use worldwide.

## Design and Specifications

The AKM is an assault rifle chambered in 7.62×39mm Soviet intermediate cartridge. It is a selective fire, gas operated with a rotating bolt, firing in either semi-automatic or fully automatic, and has a cyclic rate of fire of around 600 rounds per minute (RPM). The gas operated action has a large bolt carrier with a permanently attached long stroke gas piston. The gas chamber is located above the barrel. The bolt carrier rides on the two rails, formed on the side of the receiver, with a significant space between the moving and stationary parts. Despite being replaced in the late 1970s by the AK-74, the AKM is still in service in some Russian Army reserve and second-line units and several east European countries.

## Factional Usage

* The Black Market variant of AKM is the standard assault rifle of True Sons Officers.
* Cleaner Assaults mount their flamethrowers onto modified variants of the standard AKM.
* Owing to their easy to mass produce and reliability in the field, Exile Assaults tend to prefer it.
* The AKM is used as the base for the XK-19 'Hellfire' flamethrower
* The AKM is also used by the Outcast Assaults for it's reliability and ease of maintenance.

### Description

Following the arrest of a major protest leader in Scotland, Blackwatch orders he read a scripted apology for their actions or face the consequences.

### Speaker(s)

Unknown Male Blackwatch Officer Unknown Male Protest Leader

**Blackwatch Officer:** Read the fucking script, word for word. Unless you want you and your family to end up at the bottom of the Loch.

**Protest Leader:** *(fearful)* Okay. I will. I promise.

**Blackwatch Officer:** Get those cameras rolling.

**Blackwatch Soldier:** In three, two, one. We're live!

**Protest Leader:** *(clears throat, shaky)* Citizens of the Democratic Republic of Scotland. This is a message from the leaders of the recent anti-CONFESS protest in Glasgow. I would like to formally apologize for my actions and those my compatriots. I would like to apologize to PM Hardie's government and to all the citizens of the DRS for spreading dissent and instability.

**Protest Leader:** We meant no disrespect. We were misled by insidious propaganda from the tyrannical London colonist government, and were gathered under false pretenses. I see now that the Hardie government and the Coalition of Nations for Equality, Stability and Security have only good intentions and want what's best for our nation and our people. There is no need to fear them. Everything you have heard regarding supposed CONFESS actions overseas has been the result of lies and propaganda from our former subjugators.

**Protest Leader:** I would ask any and all of you who have been similarly misled to enlighten yourself as I have been. Scotland is stronger when we are united. Together, as one nation, we can assure Scotland's sovereignty and bring prosperity, peace, and order to our beautiful country. Thank you, and long live the independent and free Scotland.

**Blackwatch Soldier:** And...cameras off. That's a wrap, sir.

**Blackwatch Officer:** Good work. Operation complete. You can take him out.

**Protest Leader:** WAIT! YOU PROMISED....

**Connor Breheny**, aka ***Bullet King***, was a member of the Rikers. An arms dealer that was sent to Rikers Island following a deal gone wrong, Breheny became a founding member of the Rikers gang. Likening himself to royalty, Breheny took on the new name Bullet King and took control of his own crew. Unlike other Riker gang leaders, Bullet King treated his gang well, reasoning that if a king treats his servants well, then they will treat him well in return. Happy servants equate to a happy king, and if a king cannot be happy, then what hope has anyone?

Bullet King was close friends with fellow Riker boss Kingpin, as the two often traded weapons and supplies with one another. After his untimely death at the hands of Division agents, Bullet King's sister, Bullet Queen, honored his wishes, took his treasure, and forged the Bullet King LMG.

He previously worked as an officer for the NYPD, where he was disgusted with the way the system was run by whoever had the most money. Creed left the force, but was forced on his own as the outbreak ravaged New York. He felt that he didn't trust anyone working to restore the government, so he joined the Rikers, taking on the moniker Breakout.

Breakout often worked closely with Kingpin during takeover missions, and mourned the loss of Larae Barrett with him. When James Dragov became the new leader of the Rikers, Breakout shared Kingpin's beliefs that Dragov was unworthy to become the Rikers' leader due to his status as a Division agent, rogue or otherwise, and sided with him. When the Jackals were founded alongside the Hyenas, Breakout became a Protection Boss, as well as an occasional bounty hunter for Mugshot.

Breakout has become disillusioned in regards to the belief that order can be restored; in his mind, anytime someone tries to save civilization, they end up breaking it further. His personal advice? Enjoy the here and now, even if it's not much.

**Aiden Riley** is a former JTF engineer who joined the United American Peacekeeping Front. Despite being one of the faction's newer members, Aiden has proven his worth, rising to the position as the Head Engineer. Aiden is aware of the weaknesses the Front has, namely in their small number of firearms, and his skills in crafting out-of-the box solutions and weapons, such as IED fields, hidden-autocannons, shields and armor forged from scrap, and his personal greatest achievement, a modified WW2 Tiger tank known as Lawbringer. He was also the mastermind behind the modification of a mortar shell to contain an EMP used to disable Darkest Horizon's electronics.

Aiden is not a fanatic of the cause like Sade or Richmond, but he does believe the Front, while brutal, offers a much safer alternative to living in fear of the Free Brothers or Outcasts, especially with a weakened Division being unable to protect them. He secretly hopes that when the Free Brothers are destroyed, the Front can disband and join ranks with the True Sons, and has begun sowing seeds of this idea into Richmond's mind.

Recently, Aiden has brokered a deal between Rogue Agent Alex McCallan and the Front. McCallan will receive access to the National Organization of Aeronautics (NOA) building, which is needed for Operation Homecoming, and in exchange, the rogue will use her knowledge to help Aiden and the Front develop a mysterious defensive project to counter another Darkest Horizon attack.

### Goal

Overthrow the Israeli and Palestine governments to unite the two states into one
Defeat the Yom Al-Qayamah in their war

### Allies

Counterintelligence Force (secretly)

**Arets Hakodesh** (translated from Hebrew as ***"Holy Land"***) are a heavily militant and religious insurgent force based in Israel and containing substantial forces in Palestine. Composed of disaffected IDF soldiers and Mossad operatives, as well as many loyal civilians, they are dedicated to overthrowing both the Israeli government, who they see as weak, along with that of Palestine, destroying the current government to fully annex the region as well as other areas of the Jewish ancestral homeland such as the Golan Heights and the Gaza Strip.

They also seek to wage war against the nations that have in the past expressed as desire to destroy Israel, among them Lebanon, Jordan, Syria (despite their recent revolution), and Egypt. While they do make efforts to only target military installions, the fact that YAQ and other militant groups use civilians as human shields, means some civilians have been accidently killed. After a missile captured from the YAQ killed eight, Mossad and Interpol labeled Arets Hakodesh as a terrorist group, which they see as unfair given YAQ's numerous crimes against humanity, and they should not be labeled as the same.

Currently, they are engaged in a war with Yom Al-Qayamah, a radical Salafi Islamic terror group backed by The Fireflies. The True Sons Counterintelligence Force, as part as a larger effort to support insurgency groups around the world, have provided the group training and arms, however they do not appear to be associated with CONFESS in any way. Meanwhile, Argus has dispatched an ex-IDF operative, codenamed Raucha, to target the group.

## Alexi Federov

### People

Mark Phillips
Madison Vickers
Graham Dixon
Stanley Regis
Zoey Diaz

**Alexi Federov** is a high-ranking member of Megiddo, serving as a descendant of one of the five Founding Families of the organization. Coming from a long line of Soviet elites dating back to the days of the October Revolution, the Federovs have held positions of power within Russia's secret police, military, media, and government for countless decades.

It's alleged that Federov's grandfather was behind Joseph Stalin's untimely death, as well as a mastermind in fomenting conflict and instability through the third world during the Cold War, removing unfriendly governments and installing Megiddo loyal ones by using a combination of black propaganda, secret funding of insurgency groups, and stirring the population into popular revolution, all without anyone even knowing it was anything other than an organic, grass-roots uprising.

Federov has grown concerned over the removal of President Vladimir Volodin and the rise of his cousin, Mikhail Volodin, to the presidency in the aftermath of the exposure of Megiddo. His pro-Western peace and anti-oligarch policies threaten to undo the balance of global power and sever Megiddo's shadowy stranglehold over Russian politics, and Federov has frequently suggested either a covert killing or fomenting another revolution to turn the public against Volodin.

Following the True Sons betrayal of Megiddo, killing dozens of operatives and exposing the organization, Mark Phillips called an in-person meeting with the Founding Families, the five descendants of the founders of Megiddo, to a secret conference to discuss their next moves. However, before their meeting concluded, the meeting spot was struck by an ICBM sent by the True Sons, who'd somehow located the facility. Federov was killed alongside Phillips and all of the council, sending the remaining Megiddo assets and operatives into a panic as the organization began to collapse.
Antlion

The **Antlion** is a heavily modified HMMWV used by the Cleaners. Utilizing the large number of abandoned HMMWV's used by the JTF, 'The 'Antlion'**'** as a light transport for troop transport, with an attached grenade launcher that has been fitted at the back in conjunction with the existing manned machine gun on top, with the armaments being provided by the True Sons.

The Antlion's machine gun has 360° coverage, but part of this view is obstructed by the grenade launcher and its collar plate. The grenade launcher only has 180° coverage of the front half of the vehicle.

Although offering more cover than the HMMWV, the gunner positions are much more exposed. While reloading the grenade launcher, cover from gunfire can be sought in the other seats if they aren't occupied.
Attack on Team Rainbow HQ

### Losses

Almost 250 Rainbow operatives and various personnel killed or captured 11 First Sons killed, 20 wounded

### Outcome

* Team Rainbow HQ Captured by First Sons
* Surviving operatives under Eliza "Ash" Cohen scattered, later joining The Remnants

On July 11th, 2016, a squad of rogue operatives from Team Rainbow, aided by operatives from the First Sons, led an assault on their North American Headquarters in Las Vegas, Nevada, under orders from their new commander, William Ross. The plot was secretive, intending to catch the elite counterterrorism unit off guard.

A massive success, Rainbow as a unit was almost utterly annihilated, with only 60 or so scattered survivors escaping under the command of Eliza 'Ash' Cohen.

## Before the Assault

Following the Dollar Flu outbreak, many Rainbow operatives were frustrated at the handling of the outbreak and grew disillusioned with the unit as a result. Capitalizing on this, William Ross began searching for a way he could exploit this growing resentment in the ranks to destroy a massive threat to the True Sons.

He found his chance in Thomas Hartford, a former Colonel in the PMC Watchgate Security Services, and a high-ranking squad leader in Rainbow. Ross helped turn Hartford to the cause, and with his help, began to entice a number of others, including Jeremy Hader, Johanna Coles, Kester Adams, Lucy McCollough, Xavier Eckhart, Kiran Aryal, and Joshua Morrell, all of whom joined what would later become squad leaders in the First Sons.

Together, they plotted a plan to sneak First Sons operatives into the HQ. By the time anyone inside knew what was happening, the entire building would be surrounded and swarming with First Sons, with no hope of escape.

**Aurora "Klutz" Kay** was a Black Tusk Field Commander and younger sister of fellow operative Kelly "Dancer" Kay. Poached from a military academy by a Black Tusk recruiter who saw in young Aurora a promising operative, Kay was soon revealed to be a very good officer, but not a very good shot. In fact, she earned the nickname "Klutz" when she was at the practice range, wasn't watching where she was walking, tripped over a rock, and shot the hat clean off a fellow operative.

She seemed oblivious this, however, and joined the Sniper unit to her unit's concern. Kay seemed to believed everyone liked her dancing because they always laughed when she performed it She also had a severe tendency to lose her bullets, like...a lot.

Following the Black Tusk Invasion of D.C., Kay was deployed to recover leftover Black Tusk arms given to the Hyenas from District Union Arena, commanding a unit alongside operatives Matthew "Jockey" Henderson and Eric "Splits" Lane. A Division team breached the stronghold, killing "Jockey" and "Splits" before confronting "Klutz" in the old basketball court. Despite having a height advantage from her sniper perch, Kay managed to miss almost all of her shots before exposing herself to search for a magazine she'd dropped, which led to an agent killing her.

Aurora's death deeply affected her sister, who vowed to hunt down and kill as many agents as she could to avenge her.

## Bloodshed

### Weapons Used

Military M60
SPAS-12
Chem Launcher
Bombardier Drones
Jammer Pulse

**"Bloodshed"** is the callsign of an operative in the Hunters. A skilled fighter, Blooshed's tactical mindset and keen eye serves him well as a recruiter for the Hunter Program. His job is to evaluate potential candidates for the Hunters to see if they are suitable for their faction through combat trials. As Bloodshed is crucial to their operations and numbers, many of the Hunters' enemies try to kill him, but find he is more than capable of defending himself if need be.

His last known location was somewhere around Kenly College, where he pitted a squad of candidates picked from the Black Tusk against soldiers from the Front that were kidnapped and sent there. A rescue operation was approved to retrieve the soldiers, and they managed to kill the Black Tusk there. Things fell apart when Bloodshed went on the field and thoroughly showed them the wrath of a Hunter, as all the Front soldiers were slaughtered without mercy or remorse. Their heads were later sent to Emma Richmond herself, along with a note thanking her for the challenge.

Bloodshed shows a morbid fascination with blood, leading to rumors of him having a medical degree in hematology. He often works with fellow Hunter Manticore on recruitment drives.

### Location

Basque Region, border between France and Spain

### Goal

Liberate Basque ethnic regions from occupation by the French and Spanish (successful) Secure their indepdence from efforts by the GSA to retake the region (ongoing, successful)

### Part of

Coalition of Nations for Equality, Stability, and Security

**The Basque Liberation Army (Basque: Askapenerako Euskal Armada)** are an enthonationlist militant guerilla faction based in the Basque region on the border of France and Spain. Led by Julen Ubiña, and tracing its roots back well before the outbreak, the BLA sought to create an independent republic over the lands they consider to be distinctly Basque, free of the influence of Spain or France. They were comprised mainly of disillusioned and patriotic young adults, with a number of Basque nationality police officers and military personnel defecting to their ranks.

During the short cold war between the CONFESS and GSA power blocs prior to the True Sons-GSA War, the BLA seized the chance to wage a guerilla conflict against both the Spanish and French military forces in the region. Seeing a potential ally, Skyler Brooks deployed a unit of First Sons, led by Captain Joshua Morrell, and a Counterintelligence Force logistics team to provide aid to the rebellion and train its troops. The First Sons and BLA waged a prolonged insurgency campaign, with the First Sons letting the BLA take center stage so they could be seen as liberators by the Basque people, whilst they conducted deniable operations including destroying military stockpiles, intercepting communications, and sabotaging rail lines.

Eventually, with the aid of their new allies, the BLA won the conflict, declaring the region they considered their homeland as the independent Basque Republic. A grateful Ubiña, upon sharing with his people that the True Sons had helped them win the conflict, was able to achieve enough public support to allow the Basque Republic to join CONFESS.

Since the onset of the war, the Basque Republic has mainly sent volunteer troops and material to the war effort, but only on fronts away from their homeland, as they do not wish to bring the war to the newly formed republic. That said, they have proven willing, and more than capable, of fending off assaults to reclaim the territory from both France and Spain. Many BLA fighters have volunteered to join the Portugal front, seeing it as a chance to avenge the occupation of their homeland by the French and Spanish, both GSA nations.

### Callsigns

Forward March

**Allegiant Superior Gideon Elk** is a member of the Counterintelligence Force's Security Council, serving as the head of the True Sons Military Police corps. A career military police man, Elk earned himself a hated reputation in the military for his zero tolerance policy on the rules, harshly punishing everyone from a lowly Private to a General for the most minor of infractions. He would've been destined to a dead-end career had the outbreak not seen many of his superiors killed and Elk promoted to a high-rank in the Montgomery Joint Task Force.

Elk later defected from his position and joined the True Sons, seeing them as a real military and not the undisciplined amateurs he was assigned to command. Owing to his experience, he was assigned as commander of the Military Police, and went about reshaping the unit into an efficient, respectable, and feared unit that enforced a strict moral code within the ranks. Upon being assigned to the CIF's Security Council, Elk personally chose the rank of "Allegiant Superior", a nonexistent rank that only he uses, in an attempt to put himself above his colleagues.

Lieutenant Quentin Palmore, Major Maddox's second-in-command, has an extreme dislike of Elk, seeing him a *"faux intellectual who uses big words to sound more intelligent than he is"* and a *"pretentious prick"*. Maddox himself has also admitted that Elk is mainly tolerated owing to the fact that he is useful, and doesn't much care for the man himself. Indeed, Elk does have a known habit of using the most complicated word choice he can when he speaks, even if he misuses 90% of them.
BTR-80

The **BTR-80** *(Russian: бронетранспортёр, romanized: bronyetransportyor, literally "armoured transporter")* is an 8×8 wheeled amphibious armoured personnel carrier (APC) designed in the USSR by the Arzamas Machine-Building Plant in Arzamas, Russia. Adopted by the Soviet Army in 1985 and saw it's first active deployment in combat in Afghanistan, it was designed to replace the BTR-60 and BTR-70 with improvements in the engines, roof chamfers, and the sloping engine compartment.

Asher Ingram (Kelso's Logs)

**Kelso's Log #39: Asher Ingram**

*If there's one thing Rommel has eye for, it's oddballs. He really does have a keen eye for recruitment doesn't he? And out of the oddballs & weirdos, I've heard of and come across. Asher Ingram has got to be one of them, and maybe on my top ten list. I manage to get to hold of his dossier. Correction, one of his existing dossiers that's not fully redacted, but Jesus. The amount of training courses this guy went through as a Marine Corps officer would automatically break-someone.*

*High-scores on all the advanced training courses he was allowed to attend. Ranger School, Scouting Sniping, Combatant Diving, Jump School, Intelligence Analytics, SERE School, Basic Recon Course. Hell, he managed to gain permission from the Joint Chiefs and other high-ranking officers to attend the Q Course and Delta's OTC training even though he was a Jarhead, and even managed to attend SAS training as part of a NATO exchange program. I guess that's why the DIA was so interested in him, and had him assigned to Delta as their "intelligence & operations attache", they did recruit guys from other branches of the military including FORECON Marines, the perfect cover of him.*

*After he got promoted to Lieutenant Colonel, they assigned to be an operations officer to Det One that helped kickstart MARSOC. He managed to get a Navy Cross, for his actions in Fallujah, he doesn't talk about that much, I don't think he wants to.*

**Andrew Stoddard** is a Hunter who defected from Calvin McManus and the Black Tusk to join Brook's True Sons. Other than Travis Serrano, he is the only member of Brooks' Hunter unit who has given their full name.

A truly horrifying monster, Stoddard is rumored to be a former Miami street cop busted on corruption who found amnesty by serving with the Hunters.

He enjoys the thrill of chasing his victims and encourages them to run by giving them a head start before relentlessly chasing them down.
Baltimore Penn Station

**Baltimore Penn Station**, formally named **Baltimore Pennsylvania Station** in full, is the main inter-city passenger rail hub in Baltimore, Maryland. During the earliest days of the Dollar Flu, the Joint Task Force used the station to distribute supplies to the civilian populace, and once the True Sons occupied Baltimore, the station was used a logistical hub to send supplies to their forces that were stationed across the country. After the merging of Morozova and General Skyler Brooks' forces, the station in addition became one of the resupply hubs for their Iron Horse trains due to the nearby War Factory.
Area 51

**Area 51,** officially known as **Homey Airport**, part of Edwards Air Force Base, is a highly-classified facility originally under the control of the United States Air Force. While it's highly secretive nature sparked many online conspiracy theories, in actuality, according to government documents and all known evidence, operated as a testing ground for experimental stealth aircraft and drones like the Lockheed U-2 and F-117 Nighthawk, as well the programs that would eventually become the Lockheed D-21 drone.

During the Mojave Campaign, the True Sons fought a battle for control of the base with a group known as "The Crowfeathers", an organization of spies and hackers comprised of many surviving members of the United States Intellegence services. Though difficult, the True Sons eventually defeated The Crowfeathers and secured the base with the aid of World Serpent.

In the aftermath, it's believed to be operated as a supply and refuel airfield helping to supply Operation Drawbridge and the mysterious Azarel-4 Project. It's rumored that the True Sons operate underground labs at the base, where they experiment with Cordium, and where the first Cordium shells were first developed to be used in Operation Homecoming.

## Trivia

* Upon occupation of the base, the True Sons confirmed that no extraterrestrial lifeforms or artifacts were present on-site.
