Federal Government Forces

*“The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, I’m from the government, and I’m here to help.”*

*- Ronald Reagan*

Before the catastrophic events that would lead up to the collapse of the United States and a raging infection across the North American continent, the Federal Government would be responsible for controlling and managing the United States with its many agencies and powers given to it. They are responsible for keeping the union together and guaranteeing the rights of the people of America, but in recent years due to the rise of terrorism and the government being slowly infiltrated by unwanted organizations that could pose a threat to its stability and security, the Federal Government has been passing acts that are slowly stripping the rights of the people such as the PATRIOT Act, which expanded the surveillance and police state. With the aforementioned threat of the government being infiltrated, the Department of Homeland Security would be formed (**NOTE: THE SEPTEMBER 11TH ATTACKS ARE *NON-CANON* IN THIS UNIVERSE. DHS FORMS PURELY OFF OF THE FACT THE GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN INFILTRATED)**

The Federal Government knew about these infiltrations, however there was little to nothing that they could do to effectively help rid of these infiltrators. The closest they ever got to leaking names of traitorous Federal Agents would be through a whistleblower, but he would end up dead from 'suicide.' The threat of Infinitum exists and would be serious, but to defend against them was a very difficult, almost impossible task.

The Federal Government is responsible for controlling the Federal Emergency Management Agency, The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Central Intelligence Agency. They have many agencies under their wings serving many purposes.

## THE SUN SETS ON A NEW COLOSSUS

After a failed CIA operation involving the capture or elimination of a high-ranking Infinitum asset, all hell would break loose. Infinitum knew that it was now or never, as they executed their plan. The PAX-13 virus would be unleashed across the continental United States via the usage of LGM-30 Minutemen III missiles with MIRVs loaded with the virus. The infection rapidly spread across major cities. Hospitals were filled to the brim, emergency responders were all occupied, and order was falling apart. Out of desperation to stop the infection, FEMA and the Federal Government would enact all forms of policies and tactics to stop the onslaught of the virus. These tactics would end up devolving into horrific crimes against humanity. Bodies piled up on the streets, as they were burned in pits. The rioting and looting intensified, as FEMA enacts a national emergency over the nation, followed suite by martial law.

Fire bombings, mass executions, and mass burnings became common as the infection grew out of control in major population centers. These insane policies would curb the disease greatly, but would come with huge losses of life, both civilian and military. Due to the crimes enacted by the federal government, almost half of the United States Armed Forces would declare themselves apart of a rebellion and split off from the federal government due to their crimes against humanity and the trampling of the American people's rights, although many of them not only were compliant in them, many of them would still continue the horrific policies quietly to quell the virus at all costs. The Federal Government would deem the USAF as traitors and insurrectionists who should be charged with treason and desertion. The Federal Government Forces were established to continue antivirus operations and combat anyone who got in the way of re-uniting the union.

## International Crisis

The Federal government during the biological attack and a bit afterwards would be seen as a threat to the world, as the entire United States was quarantined by the United Nations to prevent the spread of the PAX-13 virus to the outside world. Soon, the Canadian-US border was militarized, alongside the Mexican-US border. UN Peacekeepers were lined across the border, ready to turn back any refugee who dared to cross.

Although severely weakened and have been the backbone for many acts of human rights violations, the UN chose to recognize them. The Federal Government would still be the United States of America, but not like how anyone would ever imagine. The constitution was practically forgotten. A new set of rules to replace the constitution would be created, called the **New Federal Charter**.
