American Union

New American Republic flag

House Speaker Aaron S. Maxwell

The **United** **States of Americus** otherwise known as the **New Republic**, the **American Union** or just **Americus**is a new country that replaced West Rome, which fell after a coup against the then-King Administration under West ROman President Benjamin King, perceived by Raven to be a corrupt and brutal man who had supposedly betrayed the interests of the American people and was no longer fit for office. New America, much like the United States of America in the normal timeline and the nation of West Rome that preceded it in this timeline, is a superpower.

## History

### Formation

The New American Republic came into existence in December, 2017, after a successful coup perpetrated and led by the international cult group Raven led to the overthrow of President Benjamin King, who was deposed and executed for his perceived "acts of treason" against the West Roman people.

### World War III

The United States of Americus became one of the key players in the Third World War. Under its new President, the New American Republic formed an alliance with NATO and the European Union, among other existing military coalitions, to fight against the Democratic Empire of Korea and the Islamic State of New Palestine.

## Society and culture

Like West Rome before it, the United States of Americus is a "melting pot" of ethnic diversity, mostly because the New American Republic government has repealed the refugee ban against Muslims as instituted by Benjamin King and henceforth has welcomed refugees with open arms. There are four categories of New American society: the government, which serves the people, the military, the state miltia, and the ordinary working class citizens. Citizens can (and inevitably will) switch between different classes as they see fit.

## Government and military

*Main Article*: New American Armed Forces

Unlike West Rome before it, the United States of Americus' main form of government is a form of Christian Democracy, which advocates for for a commitment to social market principles and qualified interventionism, combining traditional Christian values and modern democratic ideas. The Church of Raven, though the main governing body in New America, allows for democracy in order to keep in line with the form of government that the Founding Fathers originally intended years earlier.

The former United States Armed Forces were now reformed. With the fall of West Rome, the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines were reorganized into the New American Army (NAA), New American Air Force (NAF), and the New American Navy (NAN).

At level 1 Library, Fighting Scrolls can be upgraded to a maximum level of 5, and Mastery Scrolls to a maximum of 2. With each successive Library level, the cap is raised by this amount again, up to a current maximum of level 6, with level 30 Fighting Scrolls and level 12 Mastery Scrolls.

Scrolls can only be researched one at a time, and must be manually changed to another skill once at their cap for maximum efficiency.

Soon, the Raptors grew to become their own paramilitary unit, becoming (in a sense) the precursor to Shadow Force.

Karambit

The**Karambit**is a small Southeast Asian curved knife resembling a claw. It is called *Kerambit*in the native Indonesian and Malay language.

## Technique

The weapon is held with the blade pointing downward from the bottom of the fist, usually curving forward, but sometimes curving backwards. While it is primarily used in a slashing or hooking motion, karambit with a finger ring are also used in a punching motion, hitting the opponent with the finger ring. Some karambit are designed to be used in a hammering motion. The flexibility of striking methods is what makes it so useful in self-defense situations. The finger ring on the Karambit is designed to make it difficult for opponents to disarm the knife and it also allows the user to manuever the knife in the fingers without losing one's grip.

Orion

Chief (Orion)

**Henry Dobson**is a character in the TACITUS series.. He used to be in the British Special Air Service, before becoming an MI6 agent. After he left MI6, he founded a syndicate of vigilante hackers, political activists, secret journalists, and later ex-military personnel dedicated to fighting government corruption and misconduct worldwide, known as Orion. As of 2017, Henry currently leads Orion.

## Biography

### SAS Career

In 1991, Henry Dobson, a sniper in the Special Air Service, served various different combat missions during the Gulf War, before being abruptly reassigned to Chechnya, where he was tasked with assassinating a top Islamist insurgent known as Mikhail Gavrilov. The mission went sideways when Henry accidentally shot Mikhail's son Yuri instead, killing him and injuring Mikhail.

Sometime after this, he left the SAS, but later joined MI6, thanks to him eventually missing the thrill of the chase.

### MI6 Career

From 1996 to the year 2009, Henry performed various missions for MI6. Though a majority of his missions are classified, it is known that he has worked alongside Gage Buckley, father of Sophie Buckley, on numerous occasions.

### Orion

In mid 2009, Henry founded Orion, which started out as a social media platform and news platform, which eventually grew into a syndicate/international coalition of hackers, spies, and hitmen, dedicated to combating government secrets, corruption, and misconduct by either exposing them, or eliminating corrupt government officials themselves.

By 2011, Orion had grown into a legitimate organization, with former military personnel, ex-criminals seeking redemption, and vigilante hackers joining Orion's ranks, with Henry Dobson as its head.

## Personality

Henry is described as a focused, conditioned man who is always focused on getting the job done. He is a very interesting leader, seeing his organization as serving a "greater cause", even though it is perceived by others to be evil. He is similar to Diane Mack of Black Rhino and Vince Crosby of Task Force Reaper, citing that sometimes the only way to uphold the law is to break it, and that sometimes doing the right thing means making yourself out to be an enemy to others.

## Trivia

* He is the European counterpart of Brandon Hitchcock.

Northern Berasp 2

**This article is about the Northern Berasp 2 pistol, a single-action 3-shot pistol.**

## Specifications

### Feed:

Speedloader 3 shot

The Northern Berasp 2 pistol is a single-action hammer pistol, meaning the hammer has to be cocked every shot. When the trigger is pulled, the hammer moves the firing pin and strikes a cartridge. This makes the bullet fire and using the movement of the firing pin, the bolt is opened. The cartridge is then ejected via a spring in the chamber, and as soon the spring releases the bolt is closed but not fast enough for the bullet to get stuck. Another bullet is rechambered via another spring, being in an angled position.

It is a unusual pistol, being chambered in .343.

Operation Blindside

**Operation Blindside**was a notorious mission during the Battle of Okinawa. It happened on May 12, 1945. It was also notable for being the operation during which Alexandra Kendrick and other Task Force X-Ray agents died.

## Overview

Task Force X-Ray had been commissioned to defend a field hospital from the Imperial Japanese Army during the Battle of Okinawa. Things got ugly when the Imperial Japanese Army decided to lay siege to the hospital, intending to capture it and slaughter its occupants. However, Task Force X-Ray was not willing to go without a fight. Coordinating with the United States Marine Corps, they dug in and inflicted massive amounts of casualties against the Imperial Japanese forces before eventually being overrun. Wanting to buy time for the hospital staff and the wounded to escape, X-Ray's top agent Alexandra Kendrick ordered the staff and wounded to retreat to a nearby village while Kendrick herself and her comrades held the line at the hospital, despite objections from both Task Force X-Ray commander Charles Harms and Alexandra's own sister Hazel.

Eventually, Harms relented and gave orders to fortify the position while Alexandra and her men fought tooth and nail against the Imperial Japanese. Eventually, the Japanese forces broke through the American defenses and breached the hospital, resulting in a massacre on both sides. Most notably, Alexandra Kendrick kept on fighting, despite taking fire and bayonet injuries. Seeing that death or capture would be inevitable, Alexandra and her older sister Hazel Kendrick resolved to kill as many of the enemy as possible before possibly dying themselves. This led to Alexandra and Hazel coordinating a "last stand" with Kendrick's fellow X-Ray operatives. As the orderlies fled, one of them reported seeing Hazel and Alexandra manning a .30 caliber machinegun and cutting down hundreds, if not thousands, of Imperial Japanese soldiers despite sustaining bayonet and bullet injuries.

By the time it was all over and American reinforcements arrived at the site to clean out the remaning Japanese occupation forces, Hazel and Alexandra had passed out from their injuries. Later, it is revealed that Alexandra died of her injuries, but Hazel survived.

Royal Federation Army

Unit 93

The **KV-4 Caracal**is a carbine that was made during the Second Technological Revolution. Manufactured in New America in early 2017, it was meant to be an improvement over other assault rifles and carbines like the M4A1, the M16 and the M416. Sometime after it reached the market, the Caracal was a new favorite among soldiers, who praised its ergonomic design and its excellent accuracy. The weapon soon became the New American Armed Forces standard-issue weapon by the year 2023.

In addition to using the regular 5.56x45mm rounds used by other military rifles, the Caracal also accepts full metal jacket bullets and high-explosive incendiary rounds, which made it controversial on the battlefield.
ASGARD

**ASGARD**is the name given to a kinetic orbital strike weapons platform built by the United States of America during the 1930s.

## Design and use

It was reverse-engineered from technology from the Chah during the First Chah-Human War, which led to the First Technological Revolution. This was a satellite that possessed the magazine of tungsten rods, complete with a directional thrust system.

The satellite could be either directly controlled by astronauts inside the space station (which housed the satellite), or remotely controlled from the ground by soldiers. ASGARD uses small tungsten rods for maximum effect. It also uses at least 25 weapons platforms all controlled by a central hub satellite. This means it can target multiple continents at once.

Along with its crew, ASGARD is controlled by a satellite array on the ground in Portland, Oregon.

## History

ASGARD underwent a series of prototype tests in the 1930s, intended to see how effective it was. When it successfully destroyed a ghost town in Arizona during a test run in 1936, the United States military was both shocked, surprised, and horrified. They obviously did not expect ASGARD to be *this*effective.

ASGARD's first combat trial was during Operation Downfall, the Allied invasion of Japan. It was used during Operation Olympic and Operation Coronet to destroy Imperial Japanese military installations across the Japanese Home Islands, with the intention of crippling the Imperial Japanese military and allowing for an easy victory.

It was also used to intimidate Communist Cuba during an alternate Cuban Missile Crisis. The weapon also saw action during the Korean War against North Korea, North Vietnamese Communists during the Vietnam War, the Soviet Union itself during the Second Russian Civil War, and against Afghan militants during the Russo-Afghan War.

Sometime after this, ASGARD underwent a series of upgrades to increase effectiveness and was later renamed HYDRA, after the Greek mythical monster that could grow two heads if one was chopped off.
First Battle of Raqqa

* Raqqa still in IS hands
* SDP Strategic Victory:
* Heavy losses inflicted on IS

Israel
 Nikolai Kalinin
General Ying Chao
 SDP
Israel Defense Forces
 Undetermined amount of SDP soldiers and IDF soldiers

The **First Battle of Raqqa**was a conflict between the Special Defense Pact (SDP), Israel, and the Islamic State of New Palestine. It is notable for being the first defeat on the SDP's side during the war.

## The Battle

The battle began with a coordinated air assault by Russian fighter jets against IS-occupied Raqqa while Nikolai Kalinin led a Russian-Chinese-Israeli invasion force to liberate Raqqa. As they engage Islamic State soldiers, the Russians, Israelis and Chinese make significant progress, which is soon led to an absolute failure when the Islamic State detonate poison gas around the city to eliminate as many soldiers as possible. Nikolai is injured in the attack, but survives, though his unit is forced to fall back. Eventually, the Russian-Chinese-Israeli coalition is decimated, though Kalinin and a handful of his men survive the massacre.
Dwarven Heart

**Dwarven Heart** is the name of a mysterious new virus that resulted from an attempt to find a cure for the Swine Flue that had gone wrong. It is an extremely contagious, bloodborne\airborne\waterborne virus that causes its hosts to suffer violent convulsions, nausea, vomiting and eventually total organ failure and death.

## History

### Origins

Dwarven Heart's origins can be traced back to the early 1990s. British scientists were desperate to find a vaccine for the Swine Flu, but the experiment backfired, instead creating a devastating new virus that could destroy the immune system in days. Fearing a massive panic, the scientific community decided to bury the project while at the same time attempting to destroy the virlal samples. Unfortunately, news of the failed experiment were soon leaked to the public thanks to the international cult organization Raven.

## Infection and symptoms

Dwarven's Heart is spread through blood contact, in addition to saliva. It is extremely infectious, with even one drop of infected fluid being enough to infect a person. Once a person is infected, the virus begins its slow, painful journey to total infection and death. Symptoms include violent convulsions (due to the virus attacking the immune system as it infects the human).

Once the infection is complete, the person's capillaries begin to hemorrhage. The host begins to cough blood and bleed from the eyes, nose and mouth. The eyes become bloodshot and the person may feel extremely fatigued.

## Treatment

As of 2017, there is no known treatment method for the virus, but there are means of suppressing symptoms, including antibiotics (the virus is weakened by antibiotics). However, people can be protected from this virus, as a vaccine to prevent infections was introduced in mid summer of 2017.

## Trivia

* The virus is similar to the Rage Virus from the 28 Days Later franchise in that it causes violent convulsions and blood-red eyes.
* The "Total Organ Failure" symptom of the virus is a reference to the video game Plague Inc.

However, once Holmes learned that the townspeople of Hadford had discovered the truth behind the murders in the town, Blackfish-20 and his fellow assets' orders were changed to eliminate anybody protecting or supporting Karpova and Sultanovich.

His efforts to find and kill Karpova and Sultanovich ultimately fail when, aided by the people of Hadford and Emmett Mack, the two rogue agents successfully fax stolen Blackfish documents out to the public and effectively expose the entire operation. Shortly before he is arrested, Arthur Holmes gives Blackfish-20 the order to capture Jill, intending to use her as leverage against Emmett and the others.

Blackfish-20 and a team of remaining assets puruse Jill through the streets of Hadford. Blackfish-20 eventually captures Jill, but finds himself in a standoff with Emmett, the Hadford Police Department, and a lynch mob comprised of Followers of the One and the Hadford townspeople.

Blackfish-20 attempts to blackmail Emmett and the others into calling the press and telling them that the Blackfish papers were forgeries and that the real papers are hidden away in Washington DC. Seeing through Blackfish-20's lies, Emett informs Blackfish-20 that Operation Blackfish is finished and Arthur Holmes is in police custody. Blackfish-20, feeling so calloused to the point where he doesn't care if Blackfish is exposed, remarks that now all he cares about is killing people for the thrill of it, revealing himself as a totally amoral person with no sense of a human conscience at all.

Disgusted, Emmett devises a plan with his allies to save Jill: Emmett and the townspeople fake surrender, then Emmett tackles Blackfish-20 through a window, where they end up inside a small diner.  Meanwhile the Hadford townspeople engage his remaining cronies.

Emmett successfully kills Blackfish-20 during a brutal hand-to-hand fight by breaking his neck.

Liberty City

**New York City**  (Later known as **Liberty City**) is an American city that is featured in the TACITUS series. During the events of the Second American Revolution, New York City was one of the major cities inside the United States of America that was under Raven's Rock occupation, with Raven forces using major buildings and neighborhoods in Manhattan as headquarters and forward operating bases.

## In TACITUS series

*Main article*: Second American Revolution

New York City is depicted in the TACITUS saga as one of the cities that falls under Raven's Rock occupation during the events of the Second American Revolution. Neighborhoods and various buildings across Manhattan were converted into forward operating bases and headquarters for both Raven's Rock and the Sinner Brigade as both teams worked together to coordinate a series of offensives against the King Administration in Washington DC, Virginia. Sometime after Benjamin King's administration was overthrown and the new president Arthur Ferguson was installed, the city was renamed Liberty City (in honor of the new stance on freedom and liberty that the newly formed New American Republic stands on).

During the coup against Benjamin King, millions of Americans fled in an event known as the American Diaspora. This left several sections of the city desolate and abandoned. However, as conditions improved after the coup succeeded, people began moving back into the city, confident that the new government would keep them safe from the remnants of the old corrupt Benjamin King Administration.

Ogre

**Encountered:** At Wyvern Tor and serving the Ear Seeker Tribe near Nightstone

Ogres are as lazy of mind as they are strong of body. They live by raiding, scavenging, and killing for food and pleasure. The average adult specimen stands between 9 and 10 feet tall and weighs close to a thousand pounds.

**Furious Tempers**. Ogres are notorious for their quick tempers, which flare at the smallest perceived offense. Insults and name-calling can rouse an ogre's wrath in an instant as can stealing from it, bumping, jabbing, or prodding it, laughing, making faces, or simply looking at it the wrong way. When its rage is incited, an ogre lashes out in a frustrated tantrum until it runs out of objects or creatures to smash.

**Gruesome Gluttons**. Ogres eat almost anything, but they especially enjoy the taste of dwarves, halflings, and elves. When they can, they combine dinner with pleasure, chasing scurrying victims around before eating them raw. If enough of its victim remains after the ogre has gorged itself, it might make a loincloth from its quarry's skin and a necklace from its leftover bones. This macabre crafting is the height of ogre culture.

**Greedy Collectors**. An ogre's eyes glitter with avarice when it sees the possessions of others. Ogres carry rough sacks on their raids, which they fill with fabulous "treasure" taken from their victims. This might include a collection of battered helmets, a moldy wheel of cheese, a rough patch of animal fur fastened like a cloak, or a squealing, mud-spattered pig. Ogres also delight in the gleam of gold and silver, and they will fight one another over small handfuls of coins. Smarter creatures can earn an ogre's trust by offering it gold or a weapon forged for a creature of its size.

**Legendary Stupidity**. Few ogres can count to ten, even with their fingers in front of them. Most speak only a rudimentary form of Giant and know a smattering of Common words. Ogres believe what they are told and are easy to fool or confuse, but they break things they don't understand. Silver-tongued tricksters who test their talents on these savages typically end up eating their eloquent words-and then being eaten in turn.

**Primitive Wanderers**. Ogres clothe themselves in animal pelts and uproot trees for use as crude tools and weapons. They create stone-tipped javelins for hunting. When they establish lairs, they settle near the rural edges of civilized lands, taking advantage of poorly protected livestock, undefended larders, and unwary farmers. An ogre sleeps in caves, animal dens, or under trees until it finds a cabin or isolated farmhouse, whereupon it kills the inhabitants and lairs there. Whenever it is bored or hungry, an ogre ventures out from its lair, attacking anything that crosses its path. Only after an ogre has depleted an area of food does it move on.
