Winslow Accord

The **Winslow Accord** is a military and economic coalition that arose directly from the former Sacrosanct Defence Coalition, abbreviated as the SDC. It is composed of SDC members in the Northwest and consenting countries who intend to collaborate as a single unified military force when an extreme threat threatens the planet's safety.

## Structure

The Winslow Accord is a direct successor of the Sacrosanct Defence Coalition, albeit far more militarised and efficient compared to its predecessor. When operating under their alliance, all states are recognised by utilising urban camouflage patterns, whilst cybernetic technologies and the finest cutting edge equipment to ensure supreme combat efficiency.

They have a notable rivalry with the Communist Defence Pact, having instigated the "Futureline" conflict in the 2060s. After defeating them, the Winslow Accord vanished in the 2070s for no apparent cause, with the slight idea that they resurfaced as the Sacrosanct Defence Coalition in the era when PROJECT ruled the planet about a thousand years later. After the new period began and the megacorporation was vanquished, the Accord reappeared as the successor, exempt from the Future Weapons Withdrawal Act, since they now return to perform the tasks of its predecessor, the Sacrosanct Defence Coalition, albeit far superior than ever before.

In 3028, they have purchased the Stryke Blast Initiative and they only operate under their discretion, knowing that their power left unchecked may cause chaos under a global threat in the new era.

## Quotes

### Mantra

> "Strength Through Unity, Security Through Strength."

* This mantra encapsulates the core philosophy of the Winslow Accord in the **Futureline** war. *"Strength Through Unity"* emphasizes the alliance's commitment to cohesion and collaboration. It underscores the idea that the amalgamation of diverse forces, both human and cybernetic, creates a formidable and unbeatable front. Unity, in this context, is not just a collective force but a source of strength that transcends individual capabilities.
* *"Security Through Strength"* reflects the Winslow Accord's belief that a robust and powerful military presence is the key to ensuring the security of its member states. By investing in technological advancements, cybernetic enhancements, and a formidable military, the Accord aims to deter potential threats and protect its territories. This mantra serves as a guiding principle for the alliance's strategic decisions and underscores the symbiotic relationship between strength and security.

## Trivia

### General

* Winslow Accord is the largest unified military force operating in the *Futureline*. As one would expect, the Panamoan Republic is the main force, the notable engagement being the *Legion-Renegade War*.
* They are exempt from the Future Weapons Withdrawal Act.
* The Winslow Accord's weapon manufacturer of choice is MILITECH.
* When uniformity is required, every country's military force are required to dress in black camouflage hi-tech gear.
* Winslow Accord has limited MILITECH's supplies to the evil megacorporation. In fact, most MILITECH designs in PROJECT are rather perfect copies instead.
* They are reformed secretly amidst the *PROJECT-G/NEX War* after mysteriously disappearing in the 2070s.
* Winslow now directly owns Stryke Blast Initiative, meaning they operate under their discretion, surprisingly, Enisha Griffin has no objections to their control.
* The Winslow Accord is confirmed to be 200% faster than its predecessor, the Sacrosanct Defence Coalition.They are also 300% more efficient in combat.
* To prevent any confusion or misidentification, the Winslow Accord has implemented a thoughtful practice of attaching flag patches to the uniforms and shoulder plating of its soldiers in their body armour. These patches prominently display the national flags of each soldier's respective country of origin. This ensures that soldiers from different nations can easily identify one another in the heat of battle and fosters a sense of unity among the diverse member nations.
* Notably, the Accord initiated a critical shift in 2059 by completely replacing THETA cybernetics and DNI with NEX Corporation's superior technology, including the highly advanced NEX-OS software. This transition not only bolstered their combat capabilities but also safeguarded them from external threats, such as the rogue AI Corvus, which posed a danger to DNI-equipped soldiers.
* The least known country in the Accord is Rodrigo.

### Developmental Notes

* The sudden and unexpected betrayal by Alfred Winnick left the **Winslow Accord** soldiers demoralized and shocked. They had trusted their commander and were unprepared for such a turn of events, making it even more challenging to respond effectively to the ensuing crisis.
* The Concordium, the central headquarters of the Winslow Accord, boasts a unique brand of coffee that is well-regarded among its members. This specialty coffee serves as a source of comfort and fuel for the soldiers stationed at the heart of the Accord's operations. It is not only a symbol of the Concordium's hospitality but also a reminder of the camaraderie that binds the Accord's diverse nations together.
* Unlike her fellow soldiers, Keira Knight was unsurprised by Winnick's betrayal but deeply frustrated by it. She had suspected something was amiss and her intuition proved correct, but she was powerless to prevent the unfolding disaster.
* The Accord has notable access to Omega technology, even producing their own blend of robotic soldiers codenamed "Sentinel".
* The Accord is noted for their combination of brute force, subtlety and use of public support to defeat the enemy in the *Futureline*.
* Their main rival is the Communist Defence Pact. When they realised it has a contractor unit known as CONTRAKT, they emphasised the Cyber Ops to be their counter.
* The Accord does not use the Direct Neural Interface for all cybernetic personnel since 2061. This was to avoid being affiliated with THETA's unethical practices, collateral damages and their rogue AI that has gone loose... Corvus.
