1918: GWWI ends with victory for the Entente. The Treaty of Versailles signed by all parties outlining Germany's responsibility for the conflict and place the nation under heavy reparations and reductions in it's military capabilities. First outbreak of the Spanish Flu occurs and with much of the world's infrastructure and governments devastated it escalates to an epidemic level. Horrified at the tremendous loss of life both during and after the war, the League of Nations is formed as envisioned by President Woodrow Wilson. The USA declines to join the League but instead forms the World Democratic Society in mutual support with the League and in opposition to communism.
1923, June: In order to prevent further European and American interventions, Mexico, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Jamaica, Ecuador, Venezuela, Columbia, Guyana and Panama form the Freedom Consortium.
1924: A number of German political extremists are reported missing. This first started at Landsberg Prison with the leader of the NADSP, Adolf Hitler, who had just been released after serving his sentence for his role in the Bavarian Beer Hall Putsch.
1925: With the death of Vladimir Lenin, Joseph Stalin becomes the leader of the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin grows unchecked. Stalin envisions a global Soviet Union, with himself as the supreme ruler of the mind and spirit of every Soviet citizen.
1927: Albert Einstein attends the fifth Solvay Conference in Brussels.
Kaspar Siegfried is born.
1930: The Soviet Union's aggressive stance leads to a reshuffling of territory within Europe. Adhering to the policy of appeasement, the League of Nations agreed to terms forced upon them by the Soviets, resulting in a significant change in international borders. Several Eastern European states, including Poland, are forced to accept Soviet military presence within their borders and Soviet advisers in their governments. Essentially, the USSR colonized much of Eastern Europe without firing a single shot.
The planet Pluto is discovered.
1936: The Spanish Civil War is started.
1938: Italian-Austrian war started in March over territorial disputes. With League of Nations and German support with the command of Erwin Rommel, war ends in Austrian victory in June. With the failure to prevent another armed conflict, the League of Nations is restructured into the Grand Alliance of Nations. The World Association of Nations charter is signed and ratified by the United States of America, all members of the Grand Alliance of Nations and it's associate states. This conflict sees the first use of Mobile Construction Technology in warfare.
1939: The Spanish Civil War ended.
1940, June: The Empire of Japan invades the mainland of the fragile Chinese Provisional Government. The Chinese Civil War starts between Communist Revolutionaries, Chinese Nationalists, Japanese backed Chinese Monarchists, and various Chinese warlords. The Grand Alliance of Nation doesn't intervene as both China and Japan disassociated with the West after the League of Nations was dissolved.
Leon Trotsky is assassinated.
1940, November: Taiwan, the Philippines, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Malaysia, Thailand and Myanmar form the Asian Defense League for military support against the Empire of Japan.
1941, April: The simultaneous Japanese invasion of French Indochina, Taiwan and a Japanese surprise attack on the US fleet at Pearl Harbor brings the US, GAN and ADL into conflict against Japan; the US, GAN and ADL declare war on Japan. Roosevelt enunciates "four freedoms," signs Lend-Lease Act, declares national emergency.
1941: Using the undamaged shipyards and fuel depots in Pearl Harbor the US Pacific fleet is quickly repaired and rebuilt. The ADL fleet although not able to liberate Taiwan blockades the Japanese Navy from invading the Philippines and cuts off port access to occupied French Indochina.
1942: Women's military services established. More than 120,000 Japanese and persons of Japanese ancestry living in western U.S. moved to "relocation centers," some for the duration of the war (Executive Order 9066). General Douglas MacArthur leads the grueling island hopping campaign of the Battle of the Pacific which drives the Imperial Navy from Taiwan to Okinawa.
1943: A prolonged and brutal firebombing campaign of Japanese Cities culminate to the US to deploying the Mother Of All Bombs on Hiroshima, Miyazaki and Nagasaki. The Japanese Empire surrenders to the US, ADL and GAN.
1944: Outlined in the Treaty of Honolulu, the parliament of the new constitutional monarchy of Japan invests into the military development of the ADL as part of its reparations. The Kanegawa Industries Corporation is founded as an advanced weapons research firm. The US and ADL, after continued financial support in reconstruction from Europe, joins the GAN.
1946, January: Albert Einstein and his protege, Kaspar Siegfried, successfully field tests the first "chrono" based technology located in Trinity, New Mexico. The details of the experiment remain undisclosed to this day.
1946, April: The Second Great World War is started by the USSR. The Soviet war effort begins with the invasion of a weakened East Asia by Soviet troops. During this campaign, Marshall Gradenko distinguished himself in service and eventually rose to the position of Stalin's most trusted general.
1946: At the outset of the war, the Soviet Union had a considerable army, with 14,000,000 enlisted troops and over 7,000,000 men in the police, NKVD and other services. It was also a major economic power, with operating assets believed to be in excess of 486,200,000,000 Swiss Francs. Supporting it was a vast network of over 200,000,000 agents that infiltrated the governments of most Pan-African, Pan-Indian and Pan-Asian governments with suspected strongholds in Mexico City and Vancouver. Command posts known to the Allies included Moscow, Kiev, Stalingrad, Khartoum, Karachi and Da Nang. The Soviet Union also had ties to global organizations, such as the World Democratic Society, Asian Defense League and the Freedom Consortium.
By comparison, the Allied Forces were considerably weaker, numbering only 3,400,000 enlisted troops and about 1,700,000 irregular (guerrilla and resistance) forces. As a military organisation, it operated out of three main command posts: Unified Operations Headquarters in London, Northern Theatre command center in Oslo and Southern Theatre command center in Madrid.
1947, January: One of Gradenko's assignments before the invasion of Europe is field- testing the USSR's Sarin nerve gas. The original plan called for deploying Sarin to destroy the populations of Poland and Germany and force the West to surrender.
However, thanks to the efforts of the Allied spy network, combined with a series of military strikes in northern Europe, the nerve gas production facilities are destroyed, stockpiles burned and a chemical apocalypse prevented.
1947, May: One of the more tragic events was the killing of a large detachment of Polish resistance movement that took up arms outside Toruń. They, along with all civilians living in the area, were snuffed out by Soviet forces under the command of Avgar Perevalov.
The USSR controls Finland, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Poland and, as a staging point for its invasion of Turkey, Iraq. The Allied Forces control a majority of Europe, including Norway, Sweden and the Czech Republic.
1947, June: The preparations for an assault on Germany were already well underway, with forward command posts established at the border. The same Soviet commander who destroyed Toruń, Avgar Perevalov was assigned, together with Georgi Kukov, to guard the bridges leading over the river. The German military, in a desperate move, attacked well entrenched Soviet positions and sabotaged the bridges. However, the Soviets did not let that stop them, and deployed infantry divisions that traversed the river and engaged the enemy on his own soil, beginning the campaign.
1947, July: In a raid deep behind enemy lines in Germany, the Soviets captured Albert Einstein, who had offered plans to develop a new weapon for the Allies. The Allies reacted quickly and Tanya Adams was dispatched with a small raiding party to the Slovakian-Hungarian border with orders to retrieve the scientist. The base fell surprisingly quickly to the small commando force, due to the fact that it relied heavily on Tesla Coils to defend it, yet did not have adequate protection for its power was mainly due to the base being hastily built by the invading Soviets on the border.
While Soviet forces pushed through Finland to take control of Norway and Sweden, it turned out that in southern Sweden, where the Red Army executed a swift naval assault, an Allied spy had infiltrated one of the few remaining gas production facilities and destroyed it. Gradenko attempted to hide the fact from Stalin, but Commander Nadia brought it to Stalin's attention and the Perevalov was sent to deal with the spy. Eventually, despite help from the Swedish resistance and Allied remnants, the spy was captured and shot.
1947, September: Executing a plan formulated by Nadia, Soviet forces engaged German communication centers near Berlin, forcing the Allied military to divide their forces to save the critical communication node. This left Berlin exposed, which allowed the Soviets to swiftly take the capital. The Allies were forced to retreat, and Field Commander A9, Ronald Wilson, was ordered to take control of a passage through the Sudety mountains on the Polish-Czechoslovakian border. With limited resources, he managed to destroy enemy forces in the region and allow the Allied convoy to pass through safely.
1947, October: The Allied army managed to gain ground in central and eastern Poland, and to prevent it from being retaken by the enemy, Tanya Adams was dispatched to destroy key bridges on the Polish-Soviet border, a task she performed flawlessly.
Meanwhile, Soviet forces invaded Bulgaria and Turkey and steadily gained ground in Scandinavia. In the Aegean theater, the retreating Turkish army, in a desperate move, retreated to Iraq, taking it in a swift assault as their country fell to the Soviets.
Despite the success of Tanya's assignment, the plan ultimately failed, as Soviet forces managed to encircle and destroy the overstretched Allied military in Poland, regaining lost ground quickly and threatening the same mountain pass Commander Ronald Wilson cleared earlier in the Sudety mountains. In a pitched defense, the Soviets were pushed back, despite their technological advantage (Allied light tanks vs. Soviet Qilin tanks and Yak aircraft).
1947, November: To support their assault on Greece, Soviet command dispatched a mining team to Khalkis island in order to establish operations there. They also were assigned to capture the Allied Radar dome in order to monitor the enemy movements in the sector.
General Stavros, aide to General von Esling, was stricken with grief after he insisted on personally seeing his homeland and his village on the outskirts of Athens during the Soviet invasion. During his visit, he witnessed first hand the atrocities committed against the people of his country by the Soviets, which included liquidating entire villages with extreme prejudice. With the fall of Greece in sight, the Allies began to evacuate civilians from villages near Athens, to save at least some Greeks from Soviet persecution.
Soon, the Greek front collapsed and the Soviet banners flew high in the capitals of Greece, Turkey, Iraq, Syria and Cyprus. At the same time Soviet offensive in Central Europe overran Germany and penetrated into eastern France, northern Italy and Benelux.
1947, December: However, a breakthrough happened as Allied diplomats convinced the World Democratic Society to establish a unique military funding to back the Allied cause. In a 281 to 7 vote, the initiative was passed, and it was agreed that a global defense agency would be formed in an undisclosed European capital.
1948, January: Despite the bleak outlook, with the Allied front in Greece collapsing, the World Association of Nations funding initiative marked a turning point in the war, though at the time, it did not seem so.
1948, February: Agent Tanya Adams, who proved key to recovering Einstein, has been captured by Soviets while transporting vital information about one of the Soviet top secret research projects. In order to prevent her from being transported to Moscow for interrogation and execution, General Von Esling dispatched Commander Wilson with the mission of saving her from a Soviet prison facility near Grodno. Despite suffering torture, Agent Adams escaped captivity (though the spy who aided her was killed in the process) and delivered information on the Iron Curtain project to the Allies.
1948, August: Bolstered by increased funding and support, Allied forces slowly began to take back lost land and gain advantage over the USSR. In Norway, the Soviet rampage had been stopped, in Czechoslovakia, Austria and Hungary the Allies successfully defended their positions and pushed back the Soviets, while in Yugoslavia, the Allied forces prepared for a counter attack to retake Greece. Allied Command remained oblivious to the contents of a convoy heading for Gorzow, in western Poland, where elements for the first nuclear weapons were being transported.
1949, March: After consultation with professor Albert Einstein, it was decided that in order to prevent the deployment of the Iron Curtain, a strike force was sent from the newly liberated Greek coastal areas to attack the Soviet submarine bases in the Aegean Sea doubling as research bases. The objective was to infiltrate the research centers and gain information on the project and then destroy them. The attack was successful and the Allies hampered the research into this device. However, this merely delayed its deployment.
1949, May: The Allies rallied and regained the initiative.
A report sent to Soviet High Command which confirmed that was traced to Bornholm, Denmark. Shortly afterwards, a large strike force was deployed to the area that conquered the Soviet bases and commandeered their radar domes in order to assess their relation with the Iron Curtain Project. On other fronts, Allied armies attacked from Asia Minor, liberating Syria and Iraq. Furthermore, after a swift campaign, Norway and the most of Sweden were liberated, free from the Soviet grasp, as was the same for Greece and Cyprus.
1950, February: All this time, Allied researchers under the lead of Professor Albert Einstein worked hard to create a weapon that would turn the tide of the war. Basing on Einstein's research, the Philadelphia Experiment was conducted to test theories that would later pave way for the Chronosphere project, meant to provide reliable control over the Chrono effect. The primary research center was situated in Leich, Austria concentrating on controlling the effect. The scientists there were nearing a breakthrough when the Soviet leadership learned of the location of this facility and began to attack it on the eve of a critical experiment. In a pitched defense, Commander Wilson skillfully employed his forces and safeguarded the tech center housing the project, possibly saving the future of Europe.
The research suffered a relatively minor setback when a brutal Soviet attack on Elba Island, near the coast of Italy, destroyed the entire Allied force field testing the Chronosphere and the civilian resistance aiding them.
1950, April: However, this did not stall the Allied forces, and their offensive began to gain momentum. At this stage, most of Europe was free from Soviet grip, with Soviet forces in Eastern Germany encircled and besieged, the Balkans almost fully liberated and Allied divisions pushing through Turkey and Finland. The Soviets in Germany were desperate, going as far as taking hostages and making demands.
The Soviet Union was forced to shift their offensive into a defensive.
1951, July: It was then that a high ranking Soviet researcher, Vladimir Kosygin, wishing to defect to the Allied Forces, contacted General Von Esling, disclosing his location. A small strike force was dispatched to Riga, the capital of the Latvian Soviet Republic, where they infiltrated the enemy base and secured Kosygin, making a daring escape from the research base.
1951: August: The defector revealed details on another of Stalin's secret weapons - the nuclear bombs. Recognizing the threat, General Von Esling deployed Wilson with his men to the Ural mountains, deep in Soviet territory, where they attacked the Dark Horseman military base housing the nuclear weapons research and development center. However, during their attack it turned out that the base also housed silos - and at the very moment it was apparent that the Allies could conquer the base, the missiles were launched against European capitals. Keeping a cool head, Wilson left command of his surface forces to one of his lieutenants and personally commanded the squad that infiltrated the missile plant. With help from Tanya Adams who was quickly sent to assist, he managed to deactivate the four silos and prevent the missiles from detonating in Europe.
The sight of a warhead buried outside the British parliament remains an iconic image of just how close the Allied Forces came to defeat when victory seemed to be so close. Following this victory, Allied Forces finally removed the last pockets of Soviet resistance in Europe, leaving the USSR defending itself on its own soil.
1952, March: To provide heavy fire support and spearhead the assault, a large detachment of Allied forces landed near Stalingrad (referred to during that mission as 'Volgograd', possibly as an Allied code name) and cleared the bottleneck that prevented warships from moving up the Volga river. Supported by cruisers and destroyers, the Allies swiftly moved deep into enemy territory, the navy proving instrumental in the campaign.
1952, June: Before they could proceed, however, the Allies had to investigate rumours of an even more powerful version of the Iron Curtain coming online. Supported by new Longbow gunships, the European military quickly intercepted and destroyed the device before it could become a significant threat. Tech centres captured during the assignment revealed the existence of a major underground weapons plant supplying the Soviet forces, which was quickly put out of commission by an elite commando team. This event, along with a brutal campaign in Siberia, aiming to destroy the remaining Soviet nuclear capability, paved the way for Moscow, the Soviet capital.
1953, February: Occupying most of the European USSR landmass, the Allied Forces cracked down on Moscow and utilized its entire arsenal in this one final battle. Tanya Adams was sent as the harbinger of defeat and secured funds for the initial deployment of the Allied military, and as she succeeded, the bulk of the Allied expeditionary force arrived. Quickly, they established a base and, in a massive, bloody battle, eventually defeated the last Soviet defenders.
During the fighting, Stalin was heavily wounded and buried under rubble during the assault. The dictator was discovered by Allied infantry and later by Nikos Stavros. Stavros ordered the infantry to abandon rather than capture Stalin. With the intent of avenging his homeland of Greece, Stavros gagged Stalin and left the dictator to die.
1953: The USSR surrendered with signing the Treaty of Krakow. The war was finally over. With the defeat of the USSR, the Allied Forces managed to successfully defend the freedom of Europe, and ended Stalin's tyranny. However, the cost of victory was high, with an estimated 100 million people killed during the conflict.
What's worse, the Allies never found the Yuri-led Psychic Corps and their mind control project, which would allow Russia to recover and resume the conflict in the Third World War. Stalin's Advisor was also nowhere to be seen.
The Allies "Pacific Front" had been called to truce by the Soviet backed Chinese Federation as a result of it's most powerful allies defeat. In the following treaty the Pacific Front would be returned Hong Kong, Chinese occupied Singapore would remain neutral to both sides and Vietnam and Korea would both each partitioned into North and South.
After the war ended, America stepped in and aided in reconstruction efforts, which included appointing Premier Alexander Romanov, a distant relative of the ex-royal family, and a Communist figure who promoted peace, as the nation's new leader. This too, would also be a costly mistake.
1954: NASA on conjunction with ESA re purpose the GAN Spy Satellite network into the GPS network.
1955: Due to political pressure, the Allies were forced to retreat their forces from Russian territory. Premier Romanov had so far done everything to help recover his people and others and was known to be staunch pacifist. Several hundred Soviet officers return to Moscow from hiding. Notably one of Stalin's closest correspondents, only referred to in letters as "Cain" is absent despite neither being reported as MIA or KIA, having been confirmed to had had fled with the other officials.
1957: Norio Tomokawa is born.
1958: The Freedom Consortium in the Treaty of Havana, is dissolved and it's members reform into the Latin Confederation. It's first president Silvio Saldívar attends an economic conference with Russian Premier Romanov and Chinese Premier Liáng Yun in Singapore. After Albert Einstein's death, the SteinsTech Academy is opened by his close associate Siegfried. Siegfried, having been a longtime supporter of military use of Einstein's discoveries, receives funding from the Euro Alliance to perfect the Chronosphere and his Zeitgeist weapons system.
1959: The countries of Belize, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Managua, Costa Rica, Peru, Bolivia, Suriname and Brazil join the Latin Confederation.
Dr. Zelinsky discovers and utilizes Zelinsky Fields to reduce the half life of radioactive materials from thousands of years to a few minutes. He's awarded the Nobel Peace prize for his life saving contributions to science. Zelinsky Fields would be used to clean up nuclear fallout from nuclear weapons and meltdowns. Unknowingly Zelinsky Fields would be weaponized by his government in tactical nuclear missiles, nuclear tanks, in Irradiators, Desolators and Eradicators. The most haunting weapon would have been the MIDAS ICBM, which had intentionally not used Zelinsky Fields so as to be as devastating as possible.
1960: After continued and subsequent talks the Soviet Union, Chinese Federation and Latin Confederation come to an agreement to form an economic alliance. The World Socialist Alliance was also said to be formed to bolster ties with and to aid developing nations.
1967: The state of Israel is formed. A majority of Jewish people, after living comfortably within the GAN for generations, opt not to migrate to the Middle East.
Song Yunru is born.
Libra Lihua is born.
1967, April: The National Aeronautics and Space Agency's Apollo 9 mission successfully lands the first man on the moon, Everett Lawson. Drew Jones becomes the second man on the moon.
1970, December: The PAXA led Amaterasu 1 mission, with ESA and NASA support, successfully lands the first twenty moon colonists for the soon to be developed Mt. Hadley colony.
1972, November 6: An opportunity to reacquire the bodies of the two old heroes, Volkov and Chitzkoi, arose as the Allies were in the process of withdrawing from Eastern Europe, due to political pressure from various communist countries. An isolated Allied regiment was in the possession of these bodies at an abandoned Soviet Tech Lab in East Ukraine.
A special operations squad consisting of Boris and Jose Rodrigo Morales was assembled with the objective to reclaim the bodies of these old heroes and return them to Soviet hands. Shortly after their deployment, they made quick work of enemy forces and secured the area around the Tech Lab. Morales entered the facility and then got into the truck containing the cybernetic bodies of Russia's previous heroes before driving out, Boris following on behind him.
After they secured the extraction point, Boris and Morales both escaped the area, along with the truck, before the Allied forces began to realize what just happened. They wouldn't know what exactly occurred until ten years later.
1980, November: To celebrate the ten year anniversary of the Mt. Hadleys founding, colonists set up lunar light show utilizing SteinsTech Industrial Prism Equipment. Mt. Hadleys population reaches 10,000 through continuous efforts of the Allied space programs.
1982, March 7: Russian Prime Minister Romanov's military advisor, Yuri used mind control to interfere with the Allied satellite launch center in Kazakhstan and smuggled a special device on the rocket. The Soviet Union decided to launch an attack on the United States from two directions on March 8, but the American's large-scale laser defense structure "Peacekeeper" seriously hindered the Soviet aggression. In order to remove this obstacle and show his strength to his superior, Yuri decided to send his most trusted second-in-hand proselyte to perform the destruction mission that can be completed with only a few people.
By enticing the soldiers to open the gate, PsiCorps Troopers successfully acquired a Voyager and used it to sail across the bank. After landing on the opposite side and capturing the satellite hack center, they found and controlled a nearby Allied spy, and then cleared the road leading to the silos byt controlling American units along the way.
The mind-controlled American units broke the defense inside the base, eliminated all patrolling dogs, and then the controlled spy entered the Tech Center. The spy closed the missile silos and caused the missiles to explode inside them so that the US military had lost its ability to strike in long distance. All PsiCorps Troopers chose to commit suicide after completing this mission and said Yuri would guide them.
1982, March 8: Start of the Third Great World War. The Soviet Union officially declared war on the Allies. Although the United States wanted to launch the Peacekeeper missile to counterattack, it was destroyed by Yuri the day before.
The destruction of Peacekeeper Missile Silos greatly undermined the US military's defensive capabilities. The Soviets launched an attack on the US East Coast in the following day, including the military core of the Americans: the Pentagon in the following day.
The Allies were busy evacuating the masses while commanding some of the troops in front of the Pentagon to be dispersed to the forefront area and let the infantry occupy civilian buildings to defend against the incoming Soviets. However, the Soviet Army's Kirov Airships easily blew up these civilian buildings and continued to charge toward the Pentagon. However, the Soviet attack did not succeed in one time, due to the Allied forces sent some advanced units such as Aeroblazes and Abrams Tanks to support the Pentagon.
However, the Soviets, which had already been prepared, still sent the same troops after the failure of the previous wave of attacks. They also established a forward base in the city and directly approached the defense around the Pentagon. But all the garrisons in Washington DC, who guarded the Pentagon, were more active in their defense missions, and the Soviet offensive was weakened by them.
Immediately afterwards, the base that the Soviets had just established were destroyed by the Allies that had high morale at this time. They sent more reinforcements even some Aircraft Carriers that were used to assist the attack while the armored forces were dismantling the defense of the base. The Soviets here were eventually driven out of Washington, but only temporarily.
1982, March 12: Soviet Russia invaded the United States, although the US military still held Washington.
Despite the failure of the attack on Washington, the Soviets made important progress in the attack on another city - New York, thanks to a young Soviet general who had just graduated from the military academy.
The Russian high command produced a bold idea: destroying the so-called New York City's landmark, the Statue of Liberty. But the destruction of the landmark by the last fleet failed with the intervention of Special Agent Tanya, and she quickly left the region. Another fleet succeeded however, causing the Statue of Liberty to collapse, seriously damaging the morale of the Americans. Then two squads, including the Russian hero Boris, destroyed outposts near two bridges. Although it took a lot of trouble, it helped the other Soviet forces into the city.
After the two bridgeheads were taken by the Soviets, More troops assembled in the forward base and launched a final attack on the American base that is on the other side. The US military did not repel the Soviet attack and surrendered, but there was also a bizarre thing on the Soviets: Boris suddenly died, seemed to be poisoned.
In short, the successful occupation of the New York City has given the Soviets a foothold in the battle for the US East Coast.
1982, March 15: After the success of the first battle, the high command planned the next attack mission that was located in US West Coast, which is conquering San Francisco by the Soviet Pacific Fleet.
The Soviet military first destroyed the Golden Gate Bridge, so that the Americans could not send more reinforcements here, and then another fleet that was asked to destroy the Grand Cannons on the coast arrived. Although Peacekeeper Silos had already been destroyed, these cannons must not be underestimated. In the end, the fleet destroyed all the cannons by Dreadnoughts and slammed the San Francisco fleet.
After the American's naval forces and cannons were wiped out, the land forces were also sent to the coast - the MCV did not appear in this operation. Despite this, the Soviets managed to capture an American base in San Francisco and built more transports to create better conditions for the land forces to attack the other US base. In addition, they had received substantial funding by locating and destroying some mansions in the city.
The US troops in the northwest and southeast were defeated, and the Soviets had one last thing to do: clean up Alcatraz Island. They chose to cut off the power of the island's defenses, and then bombarded these defenses and Aeroblazes. When Alcatraz Island was cleared, Yuri sent some PsiCorps Troopers to the island.
The Soviet attack on the West Coast of the United States proved to be successful, and the island of Alcatraz became the base for Yuri to conduct some kind of experiment.
1982, March 16: At the same time, Soviet Russia invaded Ukraine and marched into Europe. While the Soviets were engaged in fierce fighting in the United States, the Russian high command hoped to recover the territory lost in the last war. They launched an attack on Ukraine. The Ukrainian and Baltic countries had joined the Allies after the last war. However, the commander responsible for this attack had little experience and Yuri had to choose to escort him in this operation.
Prior to the arrival of another commander's tank force, PsiCorps' PsiCorps Troopers and some Soviet infantry were already on the hillside, and their mission was to deal with the six Artillery Bunkers on the hillsides. They tore the first Allied line of defense on the hillside and controlled an engineer there to capture the nearest Artillery Bunker. At the same time, the first wave of tanks of another commander was easily eliminated by the Allies, the PsiCorps had very little time.
Although the work of PsiCorps had been completed in half, the Russian's advancement had failed again. If the third attempt fails, they will give up the attack. Fortunately, as PsiCorps had the ability to train more troops, the pressure on attacking the other side of the hillside had been reduced. They finally dealt with all the Artillery Bunkers and Allied forces on the hillside before the third Russian forces arrived, and then waited for the last tank to eliminate the Allies in the valley.
The mission was finally successful, and Yuri gained more trust by the high command.
1982, April 1: The Allies, once invaded by Soviet Russia, were once in chaos, did not even know how their Peacekeeper network disabled. The Soviet Union not only sent another force to invade Europe at this time, but their other member Latin Confederation, was also assembling in Mexico and intended to invade the southern United States. Since the armor forces there had been dispatched to other battlefields, the Americans urgently need air reserve forces. The Soviet invasion was extremely fast that they went deep into the American mountainous region and took the Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, which stored the blueprint of the new generation fighter jet Stormchild. In order to strengthen their air power, the Special Agent Tanya took a squad to retrieve the blueprint of the fighter.
When Tanya's squad were fighting in the mountains, a force in the valley was doing everything they could to resist the Soviet attack. However, as Tesla Coils around the Air Force Base increased the risk of retaking, Tanya's team had to send a Spy to infiltrate Tesla Reactor to temporarily shut down those Tesla Coils. The Soviets immediately noticed this situation and sold all the Tesla Reactors on the mountain. Fortunately, a Rocketeer team arrived here and easily eliminated the Soviets forces without anti-air weapons in Air Force Base Soviets.
Shortly after retaking the Air Force Base, the Allies launched a counterattack at the nearby Soviet operational base as they found that the Stormchildren prototypes was moved to the Soviet base. Tanya and some infantry took on a Stallion Transport to the rear of the base and eliminated a large number of Soviets beyond their expects. They also destroyed the reactors there, while the armored forces also advanced and disintegrated the defense in the front of Soviet base. Soon, the Allies destroyed all Soviets there, bringing the Stormchildren back to the Air Force Base and preparing to put it into the battle in the southern United States.
1982, April 8: The Latin Confederation began to send troops to the southern United States.
With the reorganization of the Air Force, the Allies had the ability to cope with the southern Latin Confederation aggression. They decided to focus on a zone where the Confederation was to attack, where the National Guards were mostly dispatched to other battlefields along with the armored forces.
When the infantry regiment tried to block the first wave of Soviet attacks, Stormchildren equipped with the precision anti-infantry laser system flew to the Air Force Command Headquarters. And began to test the actual combat effect in this battle. Together with Rocketeers, these fighters flew to all corners of the battlefield to eliminate Latin forces that attempted to raid from different routes, including those that attempted to pass through the trails opened by the smugglers. After a while, two small armored units also rushed to destroy the invading Latin forces.
In the next battle, Latin Confederation constantly tried to change the attack method, such as sending Bomb Buggies to destroy the outpost. Eventually several attacks by Latin Confederation were defeated by Stormchildren, Rocketeers and various land units, even if their last attack including the Kirov Airships.
1982, April 17: At the same time, the US military defended the Confederation's invasion of Los Angeles, despite many US citizens defecting to the Confederation.
After the Allies essentially repelled the attack from the south, they began to focus on reorganizing their fleet. They chose to take back the base that still had enough naval power in Mayport, Florida, but there was occupied by the Soviets and blocked by some Typhoon Attack Subs. In order to rebuild the fleet on the East Coast and retake Mayport, Special Agent Tanya started her operation to retake the Port Authority Building there.
When Tanya came here, she quickly eliminated enemy soldiers who tried to bully Rocketeers and emptied nearby anti-air defenses, and she also let a driver from a ammo depot to transport Rocketeers' ammunition to the assembly point to regain their combat capability. Then the squad destroyed the enemy forces including Buratinos along the way to their destination and took back the Port Authority Building.
After capturing the building, the Allies located the submarines in the sea and cleared all anti-air defenses in the nearby area, and then some Navy SEALs came to assist in the mission. As they joined, Tanya and these Navy SEALs quickly moved to the calibrated position and destroyed all the submarines and the Allies then established their base. After a long battle, the Soviets were eventually driven out of Mayport, and the Allies also successfully gained control of the fleet here.
1982, April 23: The Latin Confederation also began responding to Russian offensives. With the support of white phosphorus weapons, they set off from Mexico and invaded the southern border of the United States. Although one attack suffered a failure, another force including Morales was successfully invaded San Antonio, after knowing the President Dugan was at there.
They used Bomb Buggy to destroy a parking lot and set up a forward base, while constructing defenses while building the Field Bureau to contact Morales on the other side of the battlefield. When Morales got in touch with the main force, he crossed the hills and wiped out the Americans that stopped him along the way, and then stood by on the hillside behind a civilian airfield. The main force also launched an attack on the Air Force Command Headquarters in the city after Morales was ready. Bomb Buggy destroyed the wall and the other troops rushed into the corner of the base and destroyed the military ACHQ so the President Dugan could no longer escape from here.
They then launched the attack of Alamo, and all the US troops stationed there were also eliminated. When Alamo became ruined, President Dugan had to rush to the civilian airfield to prepare for evacuation. At this moment he entered the vision of Morales, then, Morales killed him when he was preparing to board the Stallion Transport.
As the president was assassinated, more Latin troops entered the city, and they neutralized all the US troops still resisting. However, the Americans' reaction after this action did not seem to be expected by the Soviets.
1982, April 27: After that, Americans had to make counterattack and Tanya destroyed the Confederation's white phosphorus factory in Mexico.
1982, May 4: The United States was hit hard during the Soviet invasion, and the Euro Alliance was also hampered. But the emerging Pacific Front among the Allies was in a safe state. They had set their sights on the Primorsky Krai of Russia, where was a lack of defense after the Soviet Union launched a war, and the White Army there were still active. They decided to lead their fleet to Vladivostok, assisted by an American Marine division.
They landed in the weak-fortified area with the fleet and quickly destroyed the outpost there. Soon afterwards, some Russian defectors surrendered to Pacific Front and joined them.
However, Pacific Front did not succeed in surrendering the remaining Russians of Vladivostok. Instead, they reorganized the navy and violently counterattacked the Pacific Front forces. These Soviets used Demolition Trucks to forcibly dismantle the base defense of Pacific Front, and the Allied fleet was also repulsed by the Soviet re-established navy. Not long after, these Pacific Fronts lost the control of the region and fled back to the sea. Their attack on Primorsky Krai had failed.
1982, May 16: Yuri stole a Stalin's Fist from Russia and went to Africa to give it to Rashidi, the leader of their partner, the terrorist organization known as Scorpion Cell. In order to gain their high trust, PsiCorps went to the suburbs of Cairo to launch an anti American cooperation operation.
Rashidi was amazed at the mobile construction technology contained in Stalin's Fist. The lack of funds hindered his research, however. To help fundraising, PsiCorps sent their troops to the nearby oil fields and held the possession of Oil Derricks for several minutes while under a few counterattacks by the Americans, during which Scorpion Cell also provided several support units. After getting $10,000, PsiCorps began a full-scale action with Scorpion Cell.
Through the cooperation of the two organizations, they destroyed the American Embassy on the outskirts of the city and devastated the arrogance of the American forces in Egypt. Rashidi, who had highly trusted PsiCorps, also begun to provide more help, such as designing various weapons.
1982, May 28: Despite the initial victory of the attack on America, the Soviet Union suffered some losses: the Florida Naval Yards was recaptured by the Americans; the Latin Confederation forces suffered huge losses from the Caribbean fleet when they attacked on the southeast coast. The Caribbean fleet was founded by the United States a decade ago, and they were trying to send the fleet back to the country and unite with the Atlantic fleet. Therefore, PsiCorps was once again summoned by the Russians to perform a mission: destroying the fleet in the Bahamas - when they have enough time.
Three PsiCorps Troopers landed on an island at the right time, and the Americans was just preparing to build an expansion base there. Engineer quickly captured the construction yard, and the PsiCorps Troopers immediately took control of the guards here. The expansion base was easily taken by PsiCorps.
Subsequently, PsiCorps consolidated the defense of the base and intended to expand to the main island not far away. Fortunately, they found and captured a Secret Lab and were surprised to find that Americans were studying the Pacific Front weapon Zephyr Artillery. PsiCorps took full advantage of the weapon they found and used it to destroy all Aircraft Carriers parked in the Naval Yards not far away.
Several Russian troops also rushed here to support the PsiCorps after the Caribbean Fleet was sunk. They eliminated the Americans stationed in the Bahamas and cleared the road for Latin Confederation to attack the southeast coast.
1982, June 5: The Soviet Union began to use the mind control tactics to fight with the Allies. Through weeks of fierce fighting, the Allies succeeded in expelling some Soviets from the eastern region and rebuilding naval forces, but they also received news that the Bahamas fleet was mysteriously destroyed. Despite this, they decided to start the task of retaking New York City, where were rumors that some American troops there were fighting for the Soviets, and an early reconnaissance team also lost contact.
When an Allied combat squad arrived in the city, they found the civilians were launching riots. They suppressed the civilians and regained some of the nearby production facilities and tried to move forward to the position of the forces that lost contact. However, when the squad rushed there, they found that these forces had become a threat, so the squad immediately wiped them out.
Then the Allies found that the Soviets built a strange device on the site of the World Trade Center and thought that this was why the Americans in the city joined them. After another battle, the Allies rushed to find a nearby hidden Engineer and let him capture the device before it controlled them.
As the device fell into the hands of the Allies, the civilians and the Allies fighting for the Soviets returned to normal. In order to study the role of this device, the Allies decided to get more power from several Tech Power Plants to reactive it. However, the Allies did not know how to keep the device working and it was immediately blew out by overload after briefly controlling the Soviets. Even if the Allies did not successfully study the device, they expelled the Soviets from New York City.
1982, June 8: While the Soviet Union was still puzzled about the intention of the invasion of Vladivostok by the Pacific Front, they did learn about the details of mind control technology from Yuri that a Psychic Beacon can control the mind of a certain size of the enemy, and the battle in New York was only the beginning of the war, providing long enough delays for building the beacon. As the Soviet Union learned of the resistance of the Allies in New York City, they decided to build more of these devices. Yuri decided to build a Psychic Amplifier in Chicago. Meanwhile, a Beacon would be placed in the central city St. Louis. A major Allied force was established there, becoming the target of the Soviets.
The Soviets stationed in the city quickly cleared the area around Busch Stadium and built their Psychic Beacon in the center of the stadium, but it took a long time to be activated. Since the troops located in the city did not have access to MCVs, they had to consider capturing one of the nearby enemy bases to strengthen their power. In the long defensive phase, the Soviets suffered severe damage, mainly from Siege Cadres. The Russian forces in the city were soon assisted by Kirov Airships that were sent to support their defense. Finally, the Psychic Beacon was activated, proving that the mission was successful, controlling a large number of Americans in the central US.
1982, June 9: After returning from the Battle of New York, the Allies quickly realized the horror of Soviet psychic technology and the fact that they were building Psychic Beacons throughout the country in addition to the more powerful Psychic Amplifier in Chicago. They quickly sent troops across Lake Michigan to destroy the psychic devices there.
The Allies quickly commanded the navy to destroy the shore defense and the Psychic Beacon on the shore, liberating the local Allied garrison and reducing their losses to a minimum. They then gained the position of the Psychic Amplifier on the Calumet River, which was protected by the Iron Curtain Device. To this end, the Allies had to break through the Latin Confederation base and destroy their Iron Curtain Device, then turn their attention to the amplifier. Using a large number of fighters and some land forces, they broke inside the Russian base and destroyed the Psychic Amplifier.
However, just as the Allies were cheering for the victory, the city sounded an alarm, a MIDAS fell onto the position of the Amplifier, destroying everything in the city and turning Chicago into a ruin - this was the decision made by the Soviet High Command in response to the loss of Amplifier.
1982, July 3: Although the Soviet Union won the American campaign, they were worried about the overall situation, such as the strategic intention of Pacific Front and the fighting ability of Latin Confederation in Europe. Same as Yuri, they also believed that their Psychic Beacon's control of the United States is not reliable, and they also worried about China's inattention to their inquiry. When the European Alliance assembled their forces on the German-Polish border, the Soviet Union launched a raid on Paris – completed by a cybernetically enhanced duo of man and dog.
Volkov and Chitzkoi came to the vicinity of the Eiffel Tower, eliminating the defenders, and then the former electrified the Eiffel Tower to turn it into a devastating Tesla Coil, which easily eliminated the Allied reinforcements and destroyed a nearby outpost. But at this time, Eiffel Tower was destroyed by some kind of laser strike, forcing Volkov and Chitzkoi to complete their in the normal way.
The cybernetic pair continued to smash in the city, detonating the barrels in many bases. Although it was tricky to deal with Siege Cadres, Archons within Navy SEAL, it did not stop their violent attacks on the city's Allies. After a short time, all the Allies were wiped out by the duo while the Latin Confederation also landed in Spain. In order to compete for the ports, the Soviet Union and the European Alliance launched several assaults.
1982, July 20: After the end of the American campaign, Yuri's situation had changed: Scorpion Cell was still escaping with their MCV prototype from United States' chasing, but PsiCorps was being doubted by Russia for the theft of the Stalin's Fist. Yuri, however, seized the suspicion that the Russian High Command had on the spy from Pacific Front, and launched a new infiltration operation to neutralize the doubts of him and stealing the old Lasher Tank blueprint in the process.
PsiCorps performed this action with great care and flexibility, such as using the tactics of tempting Terror Drones to approach the barrels and detonate them. PsiCorps Troopers controlled various Allied and Soviet soldiers along the way, killing nearby dog and Sniper patrols while they made their way towards to the European Alliance outpost. To make the infiltration smoother, PsiCorps Troopers cleaned the road to the War Factories first.
Avoiding Sentry Guns and killing most of the infantry with their Psychic Blasts, then returned to the outpost to drill the Spies and sent them to the three War Factories. When the spy now in place, the PsiCorps Troopers quickly withdrew from the area via a Borillo on the shore.
1982, July 26: Although Yuri successfully carried out the operation, there was urgent news from Africa: Scorpion Cell's Construction Yard Prototype was seized by the American forces in Morocco. Crucially, the prototype had a large number of clues of the cooperation between Scorpion Cell and PsiCorps.
Soviet expedition forces were also fast approaching the same area as the Allies were. Since Yuri was still working with Russians that time, PsiCorps and Scorpion Cell had to destroy the prototype on their own before Yuri's betrayal was found out.
The Scorpion Cell forces quickly circumvented the rear of the American base and destroyed the east gate. They then made the Engineer, who was waiting in his Stinger, quickly approach the prototype and captured it. He then activated the dismantling process, destroying the prototype there. With their objective complete, they withdrew from the area.
1982, August 3: The Allies, who suffered the nuclear strike, realized how vulnerable they were at this time: their central leadership had collapsed, the president was assassinated, and the Pentagon was finally in the hands of the Soviet Union. Only the state governments and militia groups were still rebelling against Soviet rule in the United States, and MIDAS was making their coalitions timid. However, the Allies had begun to transfer their Atlantic fleet to Europe, and Tanya was also insisting on rebelling against the Soviet Union. After the Pacific Front provided the United States with information on the uranium production facilities on Sakhalin Island, the Allies quickly launched a surprise attack on the area.
A task force quickly captured an old Soviet Airbase and located a mining facility containing several MIDAS warhead coordinates. To get this information, Tanya sneaked into the vicinity of the Soviet base with several Spies and liberated a Stallion Transport, flying past Soviet defenses and patrols in the area. When Spies received the information needed by the Allies, Tanya destroyed the mining facility.
They then went to various places to destroy Storage Hangars, cutting off the supply of uranium materials and escaped the blocking of Wolfhounds and Desolators. When all the facilities related to MIDAS production were destroyed, the task force quickly withdrew.
1982, August 18: The action from Sakhalin Island revealed the location of the remaining Topol-Ms: at the coastal zone of Gelendzhik. In support of this action, with the help of the short-term radar jamming equipment provided by Pacific Front's Kanegawa Industries and the main forces from Euro Alliance, the Allies began a fast, decisive and deadly landing operation before the Soviets could respond.
When several Navy SEALS destroyed the submarines on the coast, an infantry task force rushed to the coast and trudged to the Field Bureau and merged with an Engineer, who was secretly a double agent lurking there, capturing the Field Bureau and giving the positions of the Topol-Ms.
The Engineer also disabled Soviet anti-air defenses to allow the Euro Alliance's main force to be deployed there, but a missile test launch towards a nearby city was detected. As the Soviets realized the actions of the Allies and shortened the time to launch the next MIDAS, the Allies rushed their assault on the platforms with the help of more European military reinforcements. Eventually, the six Topol-Ms were quickly destroyed, but according to subsequent reports, two of them did not have warheads loaded.
1982, August 27: Due to the rapid end of the battle of Kagoshima, the general who was to be the second commander in the battle was dispatched to another KI Complex in Miyazaki, where KI produced their Future Tanks X-0. These Chinese troops then launched a second attack here.
They quickly destroyed an outpost in the area, establishing their own base and headed to the Pacific Front base in all directions. They managed to hack a Robot Ops Control Center and destroy all the remaining buildings associated with Future Tanks, temporarily gaining control of Future Tanks in the battlefield. However, the Chinese army also suffered an attack on EMP weapons copied by Pacific Front. The subsequent waves of reinforcements that were equipped with the seized Pacific Front armaments together with the Chinese army destroyed most of the Miyazaki KI facilities, including the control station that used said weapon, and conquered the local Pacific Front Army who did not surrender. However, they triggered the Robot Ops Control Center's self-destruct sequence before the were defeated, leaving China lost the opportunity to use Future Tank.
1982, August 28: Yuri was worried that the Soviet weak rule in the United States would be attacked by the rebels like the legions of American militia after a mighty general left that time, but he secretly transferred two MIDAS warheads in Gelendzhik after the Uranium production plant was destroyed. On the other hand, China entered the war, crossed Russia to conquer Eastern Europe with their coalitions and also invaded Japan alone. Yuri got a chance to join a battle on a Kanegawa Industries Complex after offering China a Psychic Beacon to suppress the ROC Rebels. PsiCorps decided to take full advantage of this opportunity to secretly seize some of KI's technology.
The PsiCorps squad arrived at a valley, captured the Chinese base and mind-controlled the commander responsible for the operation as his army left the base. However, they received that China will send the second wave of their army so they decided to do its best to complete the operation quickly without being spotted.
They cleared the surrounding area and assembled the infantry battalion trained from the Chinese base and began to attack the Pacific Front buildings and defenses in various directions. With the help of the Kirov Airships, PsiCorps disintegrated the last enemy defense and captured the Tech Center to get the technology they needed. In order not to cause China's slightest doubts, they also assisted China in annihilating the remaining Pacific Front troops. After the Japanese surrendered, they then quietly left.
1982, August 31: As the Soviets in the United States continue repelling the rebel forces led by the state governors, the Sino-Russian coalition forces in the European battlefield were also about to arrive in the Bohemian region. However, the Russians had received a negative answer from the question of asking China about its own attack on Japan, although the two were still cooperating in Europe. On the other hand, a Soviet army in North America headed towards the Nunavut region of Canada to investigate a communications base that is said to be used by EA-PF to monitor US operations.
As Saboteurs arrived near the Euro Alliance base via a brainwashed Stallion Transport, they entered the base with the help of some Attack Dogs and cautiously bypassed the Allied dogs and infiltrated their Radio Tower. Then, an MCV was secretly sent here. During this period, the Allies used a Mercury Strike again to attack the Soviet fleet near the battlefield, but its impact became diminished, which exceeded the expectations of both sides. Due to the number of Allied forces stationed here were too large to be all eliminated, the Soviets had to use rapid attack strategy, which caused the two Radio Towers to be dismantled after the large amounts of Allied defenses were destroyed by the Soviet Scud Launchers and Dreadnoughts. This action, "revenged" for Americans who were dissatisfied with the actions of their allies, led them to join the Soviet Union.
1982, September 4: The battle of Devon Island revealed the truth of the Nunavut joint base: it is indeed used by the EA-PF to steal American technology, and the conclusion was that the alliance is not so unified as the Soviets thought. The source of the two Mercury Strikes encountered by the Soviets was also detected, and its up link was located in a large Pacific Front base in Hawaii. Latin Confederation quickly sent their fleet to destroy the up link to prevent Pacific Front from upgrading it.
The Latin Confederation navy cleared the Niihau island and established a base there, continuing to defend the Allied attacks from all directions until their Tactical Nuke Silo was built. Although the Soviets launched an attack at this time, they did not ignore the long-range bombardment from enemy Zephyrs. The fleet circumvented the main island and reached the location of Mercury Up link through a narrow strait. Under the fortified defense of their own base, the fleet destroyed the up link quickly before defeated by the continuous Allies reinforcements.
and the Allies also destroyed the Bomb Buggy troops of the Confederation, The Euro Alliance provided the Allied Forces with the Paradox Project to counter the Soviet Union.
1982, September 19: With the Allied victory in the attack on Topol-Ms, the Soviets changed their tactics in Europe: they started the blitzkrieg like the last war, and they have now entered the Bohemian region. Since the Mercury Satellite has been disabled, the European Alliance have to maintain a communication arrays at the Jizera Mountain Pass to maintain contact with Pacific Front. Siegfried also went there in person to recapture the communications equipment there and destroy the Soviet-built Nuke Silo.
The Allies mobilized the limited local forces to try to take back some Radar Domes, while allowing some Spies to enter the Russian base and reset countdown of Tactical Nuke Silo. However, the Soviets sent some Scud Launchers, forcing the Allies to slow down the attack and let some armored units and Rocketeers go to destroy the Scud Launchers first.
Next, another problem came, the Chinese Qilin Tank battalion appeared - although they did not send the main force. To this end, the Allies had to turn their attention again and immediately destroyed the Chinese tanks. Since then, the Allies have managed to take back their outposts nearby and began producing Harriers from the Air Force Command Headquarters to strike the Soviet armored units with precision. Soon, under the joint action of the armored forces and the air force, the Allied forces rushed into the Soviet base, destroying Nuke Silo and everything there, forcing the Soviets to temporarily withdraw.
1982, September 24: The Allies finally got contact with Pacific Front through the communications array, although the Bohemian region was later still captured by the Soviets. The Allies are now ready to launch the Chronosphere project that SteinsTech has inherited from Einstein, and they have rebuilt an unstable Chronosphere, but they need help from Pacific Front's Kanegawa Industries, who is studying the Paradox Project. They decided to use a Tsurugi prototype to rescue KI Scientists from the Chinese hand in Myosinji, Kyoto.
An Allied Technician sneaked into Myosinji, enabled the Tsurugi hiding in the area, and through his efforts, a KI Scientist was found. Then, Tsurugi went to a Chinese-controlled Allied outpost to rescue a Guardian GI who was still on the Allied side and killed the infantry who pursued him. As the team had anti-armor powers, they managed to destroy some of the patrolling Qilin Tanks, although they still had to avoid a Nuwa Cannon entering the area.
Soon all scientists were saved, and Siegfried deployed a Chronosphere portal in the area, but it was only a few minutes effective. The team quickly entered the designated Battle Tortoise through the fastest and safest route and was successfully chronoshifted out of the area.
1982, September 25: The performance test of Chronosphere was very successful, but it had an accident - due to some damage, the shift was off by several miles. To make matters worse, the Sino-Russian coalition forces from Bohemia have already entered the Black Forest, where Siegfried's SteinsTech Laboratory is located, where was also the scheduled delivery point for the Battle Tortoise. The Allies had to rush again to protect the top scientists in the free world safely at their destination.
The Battle Tortoise and its escort team, as well as the Zephyr sent by Pacific Front, passed through some outposts destroyed by the Soviets and managed to travel to the lab from a safe route. However, they suffered two ambushes on the way: once in one village and once in the "Cesare" outpost. Fortunately, they repelled the Soviets who came to attack, Battle Tortoise also safely arrived at the laboratory, and the Allied MCV was also deployed in the main base.
As the most important task was completed, the Allies were able to focus on destroying the nearby Soviets. The Allied forces launched a raid on the Soviet bases through some of advanced units owned by the base, while also ensuring that the opposing forces did not smash their own defenses. With the help of Prism Tanks, they dismantled the two bases of Russia and China at a rapid rate. However, when the Allies were celebrating the annihilation of these Soviet garrisons in the Black Forest, an unexpected thing happened the Soviet Union launched another MIDAS ICBM unto the Allied Forces, which destroyed the German Allies. Fortunately, the scientists were successfully chronoshifted. The Allies had to give up Germany and retreat to the United Kingdom.
1982, September 25: SteinsTech also continued testing the Chronosphere while the Allied forces in the Black Forest performed their mission, and this test was used to raid a Soviet remaining MIDAS deploying site. A force consisting of Euro Alliance and Pacific Front came to carry out the raid through chronoshifting.
They first sent an Aircraft Carrier in a village - this was bizarre, and they intend to use this Aircraft Carrier as a static aircraft hive. At the same time, they also began to deploy basic units including various infantry and armor units to the location of MIDAS. Subsequently, Zephyrs and another aircraft carrier were dispatched. However, the Soviet defense tactics here were exceptionally superb, and they also sent Repair Drones to protect Topol-Ms. The Allies attack did not help even if they sent their fighters, but they received more accurate coordinates of the outpost and began to send their troops directly to the outpost, including some advanced units. However, this still failed to prevent the unusually active Soviet defense. The failure of several trials led the Allies to decide to send their ace units, such as Charon Tanks, Battle Tortoises, and Thor Gunships. Although these forces destroyed most of the Soviet defenses, Topol-Ms was still intact, and the Allies also found that China's Sentinels also appeared here.
The Allies could only get more and more elite units into the battlefield, but these Soviets seemed to be so sensitive to the advanced units they sent that the Soviets almost destroyed them just as they were dispatched. Finally, the remaining Allies found that the Soviets launched a MIDAS to the west... and its destination was actually the Black Forest. Subsequent explosions destroyed everything except the key personnel of SteinsTech and KI, and the Allies had to bring vital data to the UK.
1982, October: The Soviet Union wanted to use the upgraded version of the Apocalypse Tank to attack the Allies, but they were eliminated by the Allies and had failed.
1982, October 17: The great war of the Soviet Union was reaching its end, and Yuri was prepared for setting a fire within the Comintern, due to the consideration of transferring the Soviets' sight. China was told that the Psychic Beacon was flawed, so the ROC Rebels they controlled had been imprisoned near the beacon. In order to cut off the beacon power supply, liberating the rebels and make a chaos, PsiCorps reached its location in Heizhaozhen.
With the help of Scorpion Cell's Hijackers, PsiCorps got some Chinese empty vehicles to clear the way to the bridge, repaired the bridge and repelled the Chinese troops who came to stop them from calling reinforcements. The reinforcements of the ROC rebels then rushed from the other side of the bridge and the highlands to go with PsiCorps together to complete the power outage mission. Dispatched infantry from a Mine Shaft, destroying a barricade, they quickly advanced to the location where the Chinese outpost is and destroyed the power reactors, freeing the ROC rebels.
Then, PsiCorps and ROC rebels fully seized the opportunity that China had to take their time to repair the power problem, making a blitzkrieg towards the defenders near Psychic Beacon and took back the beacon, turning all the local PRC troops under the control of the ROC rebels.
1982, October 22: The Soviets performed an operation in Xizang, China - to deal with the accident from a Psychic Beacon that was originally owned by China in Heizhaozhen, but now in the hands of ROC Rebels for unknown reasons. Russia decided to use a remote-controlled Kirov Airship full of bombs to destroy the beacon, but large number of air defenses protected it. Therefore, Russia sent Volkov and Chitzkoi to complete the mission.
In this area, the two cleaned up the mind-controlled Chinese anti-air units for the Kirov Airships and went to destroy a large number of Tesla Reactors to turn off the power of Flak Cannons. Then, Kirov Airship safely approached the Psychic Beacon and fell there, destroying the beacon.
Despite an accident occurred on Chitzkoi, Volkov quickly found a Cargo Plane to leave the area after completing the mission. But after this action, China denied the existence of Psychic Beacon and angrily expressed dissatisfaction with the Russia intervention.
1982, October 26: The PsiCorps' action at Heizhaozhen was a success, but they received horrible news - Rashidi was arrested by the Soviet expeditionary force in Africa and detained at Guantanamo prison under the Latin Confederation control. Since it was not long before the Confederation controlled there, it was already very fortunate for PsiCorps. In order to prevent the Soviets from investigating more details of the cooperation between Rashidi and Yuri, they sneaked into Guantanamo Bay while the High Command is in the battle on English Channel.
PsiCorps sent their first Initiate squad, escaping the watch tower's sight and liberated many of the prisoners, including American soldiers, Soviet war criminals and some Scorpion Cell fighters. By detonating the barrels and opening up safer roads, they found the disarmed Rashidi deep in the prison.
Rashidi's rescue shocked Latin Confederation so that they sent Vultures, but the PsiCorps tank battalion also appeared - consisting of Lasher Tank and Gatling Tank, which shot down the Vultures. As the various units kept the airstrip secure, Rashidi boarded the cargo plane and escaped from Guantanamo Bay.
1982, October 31: After Germany was hit by MIDAS, France fell under the joint attack of the three Soviet parties, and the United States finally knew the actions Europeans and Pacific Front did during this time: stealing Mercury Network Uplink and after losing it, the hunting of the remaining MIDAS was organized. The Allies also understood that the failure of the Chronosphere was caused by someone from the Soviets who placed the EMP charge in it.
All of the Allied elites, including SteinsTech and Kanegawa Industries researchers, have now retreated to the UK and defend against MIDAS strikes from the Soviet Union with the Gladius Defense System based on American laser technology. However, due to technical limitations, all three Gladius System must keep intact to guarantee the defense over the English Channel. The strongest combat forces of the Allies and the Russians, Chinese, and Confederation forces gathered at the English Channel were both prepared for the grand battle.
The Allies at English Channel quickly formed a line of defense on the land and in the sea, including the ultimate gunships, a kind of tanks equipped with neutron guns, and modernized Battleships. At the same time, they also enabled the coastal Grand Cannons to strengthen coastal defense, and they also eliminated a threat from Crazy Ivans sent by Soviet troops in advance quickly.
Soon afterwards, the Soviets sent Kirov Airships and Dreadnoughts to focus on the Gladius System, and the Allies also tried to counter these siege units, then finally guaranteed the integrity of the three Gladius with a small loss. However, the Soviet offensive was far from over: they built a Tactical Nuke Silo in the base, trying to destroy one of the Gladius without any effort - these structures could not intercept the nuclear missile fired from the silo. The Allies immediately noticed the presence of the silo and immediately sent a rapid-response attack force to try to land on the other side of the channel, where the French city Calais is. After a fierce battle, the silo was eventually destroyed by the Allies, despite many losses, Gladius became relatively safe thereafter.
The offensive then moved to the Allied side, where they dispatched most of the defenders previously used to defend the base to the front line in preparation for the elimination of any Soviet unit in Calais, France. After the strong counterattack of the Allies, the Soviet army suffered heavy losses and had to retreat from Calais finally. This battle has greatly damped the Soviet morale, so that they have never assembled such a large-scale force to attack the English Channel anymore. Later, other tactics used by the Soviets to attack the English Channel did not succeed as well; The winners were the Allies, who finally had the opportunity to develop the Paradox Project at the London Fortress and tried to use it as a key to retake the European continent.
1982, November 1: The Soviet invasion of the English Channel failed under the deficiencies of the Euro Alliance and the American affiliates, leaving most of the Comintern's navy sank. As they intended to attack the English Channel again (although the following attacks were obviously weaker), they were also trying to find the true intention of China under the Xizang Psychic Beacon incident. They positioned a Kanegawa Industries Complex in Japan that still appeared to be uncaptured, and intended to find how much technology China had extracted here and whether it will be shared with the Comintern.
Through the infiltration of the Pacific Front Tech Center and the cleanup of the anti-shore defense, the Russians was able to land without much effort. However, just as they were moving towards the KI Complex, they received an unknown warning: China had possessed all the technology here and was preparing to eliminate the evidence by destroying the Seismic Stabilizer here, which stabilizes local geological activities, when the Russians came to investigate. In view of the fact that the Chinese that came to kill the Russians had not arrived here, the Russians immediately captured the base built in the complex under the cover of Morales, and an Engineer also captured the assembly, disabled Seismic Stabilizer's self-destruct sequence control system.
The Chinese army arrived very quickly. Just as the Russians was busy using the captured equipment to repel them, Pacific Front fighter Norio also rushed in - he could not bear to see the lives of local civilians to be threatened, joined the ranks of purging the Chinese aggressors and told the Russians to capture the Future Tanks in the complex to strengthen defense. After a period of time, the Chinese offensive stopped and the Russians immediately wiped them out.
1982, November 11: At this point, Yuri had been suspected of treason and left the Kremlin. As the Russians revealed the truth in Okawa Falls, the Sino-Russian civil war broke out immediately, and the Chinese placed the last MIDAS as one of their targets. Immediately after the war begins, Premier Romanov ordered to transfer of the last one in Kemerovo and launch it towards China, but China's penetration of it has disrupted the plan. At this critical moment, Yuri came forward again, even though he was being squeezed by Kremlin at the moment – the Xizang Psychic Beacon incident was actually planned by him. Since Russia currently has only one MIDAS, Yuri believed that saving it will regain the opportunity to let him return to Kremlin. Therefore, he made PsiCorps elite to ensure the safety of Topol-M.
As another Topol-M used to bluff Chinese crashed while crossing the bridge, PsiCorps placed all of their energy on the Topol-M carrying MIDAS and escorted it to let it enter a tunnel. Killing the dogs with psychic blast and controlling Crazy Ivan to attract Terror Drone's attention, PsiCorps safely escorted Topol-M for a distance, even though the Chinese army blew up a bridge to make the escort route longer. As they passed through several villages, PsiCorps used the Chinese units they controlled to eliminate the chasers with the help of Russians. As Repair Drone was given to PsiCorps, their troops arrived at another bridge and defended the enemy's pursuits before the opposite engineer rushed to fix it. On the last route, PsiCorps successfully predicted and prevented the third blast of China's bridge plan for the through tunnel, safely sending the Topol-M into the tunnel.
However, the accident still happened. China seemed to have already known Russia's escort plan and set a trap in the tunnel. Yuri had no choice but to leave Russia completely and told his second-in-hand to take all the members of PsiCorps to escape.
1982, November 18: The civil war between the two giants finally took place, and the Russians had long seen the fact that China did not support their actions in Vladivostok. After the event of Okawa Falls, Norio told the Soviet Union that there was a treaty between China and Japan, which was why China could easily occupy Japan without any difficulty, due to China had helped Japan to get rid of the protectorate status from United States. China had invaded the Primorsky Krai at the Far East of Russia, captured Volkov and Chitzkoi, and intended to let Yunru study them and take them away. With the powerful intelligence that could quickly locate MIDAS, the Chinese army, under the command of General Xiu Rong Wu, performed the most intense battle among the Sino-Russian civil war against the famous Russian General.
First, the Chinese scornfully launched a large-scale infantry charge against the Russian base, while they also destroyed the Palace with Foxtrots, followed by the advancement of the armored battalion, as well as groups of paratroopers and Kirov Airships. Under the leadership of the General, the Russian army resisted the pressure of the Chinese Steel Wall, and found that Xiu Rong Wu had an additional Pacific Front base here.
The Russians planned to build the Tactical Nuke Silo to cope with the unfavorable situation, but they did not expect China to build the same silo at the Pacific Front base - forcing the Russians to act quickly. With the help of Apocalypse Tanks, the Russian siege forces immediately went south, escaped the attack of Xiu Rong Wu's Demolition Trucks deployed in the city, destroyed China's Hammer Defenses and their own base, and then pushed forward towards the way east. Next, they liberated Volkov and Chitzkoi, gathered on the banks of the river, prepared to cross the frozen river to attack the Pacific Front base, and Nuke Silo there. However, the troops stationed at the base reported news that their Weapon Protocol had been sabotaged.
By consolidating new force assembly points nearby, the Russian army shared the defense pressure of the main base, while the main force also searched and destroyed the EMP Mines on the ice and crossed the river to attack the Pacific Front base. As Volkov and Chitzkoi joined the battle, and the generals provided the iron curtain protection for the comrades in the main force, the main force crossed the river and easily repelled the Pacific Front troops, completely ousted the invading army of Xiu Rong Wu, whose attitude at the time of retreat was still very arrogant.
The victory of this battle made Russia stabilize the status of the actual leader of the Comintern, but they still have weaknesses - they had no MIDAS anymore, and their rule in many occupied territories is not stable. PsiCorps often made favorable actions for Russia in the following periods, but their original intention is not the case.
1982, December 8: Yuri learned that China's invasion of Russia failed, and felt the strength of Chinese confidential network. Therefore, he began to plan to undermine China's alliance with Pacific Front. He chose the Korea as his target – North Korea is supported by China, and South Korea is supported by Pacific Front, but the situation on the Korean peninsula was very tight, unlike China and Japan hinterland. With the help of Rashidi, a trio led by assassin Malver went to the Korean DMZ to take action.
After sneaking into the area, Malver and Virus immediately entered the North Korean control zone, eliminating threats such as Dogs, Terror Drone and Tesla Trooper, and proceeded to a boulevard. Due to the tighter front defense, Virus chose to stand by, and Malver took a while to enter the PsiCorps Trooper's hiding place and immediately killed a Conscript that was aware of the same. Although a group of dogs rushed over after a while, they knocked over a pile of barrels on the road. Next, Malver and PsiCorps Trooper completed the meeting and began the next step: destroying several specific buildings of the Korean DMZ. PsiCorps Trooper managed to kill the nearby Tesla Troopers that powered Tesla Coil and controlled the nearby patrolling Crazy Ivan to destroy several Sentry Guns at the North Korean base, and then controlled the base's Qilin Tanks to destroy Airbase. Then, the two went south to destroy the Field Bureau: Malver destroyed the barrels of the outpost below and disintegrated the defense, then Crazy Ivan immediately blew up the Field Bureau, disabled North Korea's security system.
PsiCorps Trooper chose to control a Borillo to destroy the tight defenses near Virus and complete the meeting with her. Then the four set off to a border in the southeast and then destroyed the barrels there to open the way to South Korea. South Korea's defense was more rigorous (especially Rocketeer, and Sniper on the highlands), making them to send Borillo alone to destroy Runway and kill some of the more threatening infantry and attracting the firepower of South Korean troops. By re-finding and controlling the new Borillo, the trio was able to travel to a more internal area in South Korea, then destroyed the Robot Ops Control Center and closed the security system for the second time. The last task was to destroy North Korea's Iron Curtain Device, which could cause conflicts between the two sides. Fortunately, South Korea deployed a Battle Tortoise near the trio, PsiCorps Trooper immediately took control of it, and while ordering it to go to the other side to destroy the Iron Curtain Device, the trio began to retreat to the initial position.
With the Iron Curtain Device destroyed, the conflict between the two sides began, and the trio quickly killed some of the enemies on the road closest to Driller and rushed to Driller to leave with the Gyrocopters who were chasing them. North Korea and South Korea sent their own mediators to try to negotiate, but the results ended in failure.
1982, December 17: After completing the covert sabotage of the Korean demilitarized zone, China's alliance with the Pacific Front broke down, and now they are fighting in South Korea. At the same time, due to the Russians was affected by the Chinese rebellion, most of their troops were dispatched to the east, which means that the number of defenders in Central Asia-Eastern Europe has decreased. Yuri decided to complete a task that would help them rise at this time.
The mixed forces consisting of Russian arsenal and all the equipment they currently PsiCorps have self-developed quickly torn the line of defense around the first Rocket Launch Bay, and then PsiCorps captured the Russian base and the Launch Bay, while Drillers also came after that and they go to dismantle the rocket. Thanks to the insistence of PsiCorps, the extraction of the first launch bay was completed very quickly, but PsiCorps found that a single launch bay was not enough, they needed four, fortunately Leninsk remained three launch bays. At the same time, PsiCorps also acquired a Soviet MCV and several Kirov Airships.
The Russians launched the main base's Iron Curtain Device to protect the three rockets, making PsiCorps had to try to destroy the Iron Curtain first. With the Kirov Airships and Wolfhounds destroying the Russian base in the north, an Engineer was on standby next to the launch bay there. PsiCorps used Scud Launchers and Tesla Cruisers to attack the Russian main base in the northwest, destroying the Apocalypse Tanks and Iron Curtain Device there, and then two Engineers captured their respective launch bays. Although the Russians tried to use a large number of troops to fight back, they were all repelled by PsiCorps.
When PsiCorps captured the last rocket and was protecting it and the Drillers, the Russian main forces arrived, including several Apocalypse, which quickly destroyed the base that PsiCorps first captured and their newly established base, forcing PsiCorps only to focus on the final extraction task. Fortunately, the final extraction was completed before the main force approached.
This rocket extraction mission made PsiCorps had the possibility to fly to the moon to build their own command base, while Yuri also built a new organization in Antarctica, the Epsilon Headquarters, with the rocket's transport capacity, and began to build a giant tower known as the "ultimate weapon". At the moment, the Epsilon Army founded.
1983, January 1: Despite the best efforts of the Allied Nations, who for a while seemed to be turning the tide, the Soviet Union was able to eventually win the war with the usage of their deadly nuclear arsenal, taking control over all of North America and all of continental Europe, with the British Isles still under Allied control.
In addition, Russia was successful in defeating a Chinese/Pacific Front coalition that attempted to usurp their position as leader of the Soviet Union, Yuri also successfully prevented a Chinese agent from revealing the truth about Russia's MIDAS, allowing Russia to remain "strong". While Yuri's PsiCorps was successful in advancing their goals.
1983, September 4: An event that happens in the time period between the Third Great War and the Mental Omega War is worth mentioning, during which the PsiCorps, who had been maintaining an impression that they are still cooperating with Soviet Russia, learns that a Chinese agent had found out about the misinformation made by Yuri to cover up the fact that Russia have no more MIDAS at their disposal. Yuri cannot afford to leave the Chinese agent alive with this knowledge, lest the Russian dominion that is already as fragile as a sand castle crumbles should the truth is revealed to the world, and orders the agent to be eliminated by any means necessary.
An Epsilon Adept managed to track the agent and tries to mind control him. Surprisingly, the agent, who had been trained to resist Yuri's psychic manipulations, killed the Adept, forcing the PsiCorps assassination team to use the hard way. Relying mostly on mind control, the team of Epsilon Adepts pursued the agent and destroys any outposts as well as knocking out defenses that could hinder their progress. Ultimately, their hard work pays off as the PsiCorps assassins managed to intercept the agent and kill him before he could reach an underground bunker.
With the Chinese agent's death, Russia's secrets and the Russian dominion are safe for the time being. Yuri himself decides to wait until the right moment comes soon enough as he continues to build up his own army.
1984, September 1: Following all the troubles he had faced, the Soviet General moves to Stalington as his name is cleared – for now – since the sacking of Leninsk Cosmodrome which proves that Yuri is behind the complications in the Third Great War. He settled in nicely as one of the region's administrators, still wary on the PsiCorps' true intentions.
One day, during his usual duty on policing the city, the General was contacted by two Soviet colonels in charge of Stalington's defense, Reznov and Krukov, who requested him to find out what happened to an outlying Soviet base, since there are rumors that the American remnants are planning for a major offensive on Stalington.
Sure enough, the General finds out that the American remnants have taken over the outpost, cutting off Stalington from the rest of the S.S.A. Knowing that the American rebels' attack are imminent, the General, assisted by Reznov and Krukov, organizes an all-out defense of the city.
During the battle of Stalington, the General noticed that Soviet reinforcements are coming and a raven flying over his outpost. Shortly afterwards, he was psychically attacked by Yuri himself and went unconscious.
1984, September 1: The Mental Omega War would begin with the Epsilon conquest of Russia's capital, Moscow, on the second anniversary of their victory over the Allied Nations. As the Soviets are holding a victory parade on Moscow while showcasing eight Topol-M platforms who are, in truth, unarmed since Russia is unable to produce more MIDAS warheads in the last two years, invisible tanks who managed to slip past the city's heavy defenses destroyed the Nuclear Reactors powering Moscow, plunging the city into darkness just as the Epsilon's main attack force arrives and turns the parade into chaos.
More Epsilon forces, assisted by the Scorpion Cell and elements of the Russian military still loyal to the PsiCorps, proceeds to wreak havoc on the Soviet Russian defenders, all while the Epsilon attempted to capture the Topol-M platforms by mind-controlling their drivers and relocate them to Epsilon-determined extraction points. Although some platforms nearly escaped, nonetheless all of them was successfully captured.
Not long afterwards, an Epsilon assassination squad moves in to Kremlin in order to deal the final blow by killing Premier Romanov; the squad makes short work of Romanov's elite Black Guard and finally guns down the Premier. With Romanov dead, Yuri shows up in the Kremlin and brings the city under his control with a Psychic Beacon. The Epsilon also starts to work on some sort of a "doomsday device" after this point.
1984, September 5: Now stuck on the British Isles, the Allies wondered if they were able to reclaim the lands lost to the Soviets during the previous war, despite the Paradox Project proceeding smoothly over the years. Suddenly, they receive word that something dire is happening in the Soviet dominion, evident by the hectic and chaotic situation on their chain-of-command.
Upon learning the situation, the Allies realized that they now have a great opportunity to retrieve Special Agent Tanya, who was captured in a botched operation during the Third Great War and is now being imprisoned in Warsaw; Siegfried volunteered himself to the rescue, setting himself off to Warsaw with his brand new "chrono backpack" to rescue Tanya while the Soviets are distracted.
By using a chrono weapon to "erase" the Soviet sentries, Siegfried successfully reached Tanya and the duo fight their way out of the camp to the extraction point, clearing any obstacles and hostiles in their way without causing too much attention. After retrieving her equipment, the Soviets eventually caught onto the breakout and sent reinforcements to stop them.
The escape was rough but Tanya made it to the transport and was chronoshifted out of Warsaw while Siegfried used his chrono backpack to return to the British Isles.
1984, September 8: Although Russia had been put out of the picture by the battle of Moscow, the Latin Confederation decided to fill out the power vacuum in Europe by taking command of Soviet troops to organize a counter-attack, especially with the support of four last Cloning Vats under Soviet control in Zaragoza, Spain. Knowing that this will jeopardize his plan, Yuri choose to cause havoc in the Confederation from within by the "Terranova" gene-virus.
Epsilon Infiltrators made their way past the city's tight patrols through their disguises, along with occasional support from ravens and invisibility cloaks, and reached the Cloning Vats, where they injected the Terranova virus into them. The resulting effect causes the Vats to continuously create hulking, mutated humans and a superhuman soldier who proceed to cause chaos on the Confederation base. With the mutants' endless and relentless attacks, they quickly overwhelmed the Confederation defenders before proceeding to swarm into the city. Civilians panicked as they saw the monstrosities, only to be turned into more of these abominations by Rahn's beam weapon.
The Confederation forces continue to make a desperate struggle against the onslaught, but nevertheless, the sheer number of the Brutes was too much for them and, by the time aerial support arrived, the Confederation HQ was utterly destroyed and the Brutes continued their merciless assault on any Soviet stragglers as Rahn is evacuated from the city via a Stallion transport.
1984, September 9: The Soviet General recovers from Yuri's psychic attack to realize that things have gone wrong - terribly wrong. Mysterious soldiers and rogue Soviet soldiers are seen patrolling a compound where he is being held captive just as Reznov and Krukov suddenly appears and rescues him, determined to escort the General out of Stalington.
On their way to a Soviet airbase, Reznov and Krukov fill the General in about the situation; the traitor Yuri had finally showed up and led his own army to not only capture Stalington through the mind-controlled Soviet reinforcements, but also launched simultaneous attacks all around the Union. Reaching the airbase, the General boards a command airship.
Reznov and Krukov, meanwhile, led the loyalist Russian forces as they made their way through the city to suppress and/or destroy hostile air defenses, rescuing more Soviet troops in the process. The fight is quite difficult for the loyalists, but in the end the way is clear for the General to escape. More hostile forces, including heavy anti-air weapons, show up as the General's airship takes off in a final attempt to stop him, but the colonels and the loyalists managed to intercept them.
After the General leaves Stalington, Reznov and Krukov chose to stay in the S.S.A. so they can organize the Soviet resistance in the country. The General was later rescued by a friendly Soviet naval patrol who brought him to safety, where he learned that the situation is much worse than he had imagined; Moscow is lost, Premier Romanov is dead and the Confederation HQ in Spain is no more.
Reznov and Krukov later went to investigate, and they destroyed the contaminated Cloning Vats, preventing the virus' from spreading further. Epsilon also protected the Mastermind research and development facility in Romania from the Soviet counterattack.
1984, September 16: According to Allied intel, Yuri had resumed the Psychic Amplifier project and taken control of Rome, Italy, by building one in the middle of St. Peter's Square. Realizing that this would be a threat to not just the British Islands, but to the whole of Europe as well, the Allies used their Chronosphere to send a task force straight to the Italian capital, as it would take too much time to get there via the sea or air.
Thanks to some valuable info about the one in New York, the Allied task force reconfigured a Psychic Beacon enslaving a local Italian garrison. As long as it was online, it acted as a shield against the power of the Psychic Amplifier present there; if the beacon fails, the whole task force present there would end up being enslaved by the Amplifier after a specific amount of time.
Before the Allies could seize the Beacon controlling the local Russian garrison to get them on their side without having to fight them, something, or someone, destroyed the Psychic Beacon and freed the Russian from Yuri's control, who started attacking both Allied and Epsilon forces present nearby. This does not last long however; after some time had passed, true to the Allies' guess, the Psychic Amplifier enslaves the Russians once again.
Despite the overwhelming odds, the Allies successfully destroyed the Psychic Amplifier, liberating Rome and allowing the Allies to re-establish a foothold in the European mainland, as well as allowing the Paradox Project to proceed unhindered.
1984, September 24: With the Soviet High Command annihilated in the fall of Moscow, it is now up to the Soviet General to gather and reorganize all that's left of the Soviet forces and make sure that Yuri pays for what he did to the Union. Meanwhile, he received word that Morales is in danger; he was surrounded by PsiCorps forces in Rio de Janeiro while tracking their movement across Latin America. Knowing that he cannot afford to lose another hero to Yuri's nefarious schemes, the General mounts an all-or-nothing rescue operation on Morales.
The Soviet rescue force managed to reach Morales and fought valiantly to ensure his survival while waiting for the X-MiGs to pick him up. Although the PsiCorps employed toxin snipers and invisible tanks in hopes to eliminate the legendary sniper, the Soviet forces managed to counter them with the Confederation's trademark harassment tactics involving Vulture helicopters and sneaky Fury Drones.
During a lull in the fight the Soviet forces receive word that the PsiCorps have constructed a large cloning facility inside the city, which is believed to be a site of human experimentation by the Epsilon, but they were quite surprised to see some sort of a bio-tank in the facility gets destroyed by a nuclear explosion. The Soviet forces focuses back on holding the line until the X-MiGs finally arrive and evacuated Morales out of Rio.
With Morales evacuated, the Soviet forces converges on the cloning facility to destroy it so the Epsilon won't be able to give the Soviets another nasty surprise. Using a tactical nuclear strike to clear the path, the facility is subsequently razed to the ground.
1984, November 3: Sometime after the operation in Rome, the Allied command received news that the Epsilon had captured a research facility in Norway developing a stealth bomber jet, which were seized by the Soviets during the Third World War. If the Epsilon managed to complete the jet and enhance it with their technology, they will be able to strike right at Britain, slipping past the Gladius Systems and Allied defenses on the English Channel. A task force is sent to prevent the Epsilon from getting their hands on the prototype.
Despite initial reconnaissance problems, the task force managed to locate ten Kamaz trucks carrying the jet's technology. The Epsilon forces fight the best they can to ensure the trucks leave the area safely, even utilizing counter-intelligence measures to keep some of the trucks hidden, but the Allies managed to intercept and destroy them all with help from Hummingbird support jets.
The operation was a success, and the Allies managed to recovered the jet's technology, then known as the Barracuda, before it was lost, giving them an upper hand in their campaign against Yuri.
1984, November 6: The Allies believe that nothing remains from the destruction of SteinsTech's Black Forest laboratory. However, it turns out that they are wrong.
Before Yuri returned the MIDAS ICBMs he kept away for safekeeping, he made steps to ensure that the warheads are weakened, so the destruction is not as severe as widely believed - indeed, the old Chronosphere remains intact in the laboratory's ruins. The Soviets were the first to have noticed this and recovered the device. Yuri, who needs it for the next step of his plans, sent two of his best operatives to assist in the recovery mission.
Although the operatives were blocked by Soviet forces utilizing Allied equipment, both of them easily bypass the defenses by sheer force alone; Rahn converted any enemy soldier that dares to confront him into more Brutes whilst Malver strategically destroyed several key choke points that leads the way to the Epsilon Base. Slowly but surely, the duo finally linked with a nearby Epsilon outpost.
Despite several counter-attacks by the Soviets, the Epsilon built up their strike force and moves in to attack the Confederation base, seizing some of their armaments in the process, before continuing their assault to what's left of the Russian forces in the area, and successfully recovers the old Chronosphere.
Not long afterwards, Rashidi sent a team of Drillers to dismantle the old Chronosphere and transported it to safety. Although the remaining Soviet forces managed to regroup and interrupts the dismantling operation, they were ultimately crushed by the Epsilon as the old Chronosphere is successfully taken apart and brought away.
1984, November 14: Sometime after the successful operation in Rome, the Epsilon attacked the city of Cannes at a very unfortunate time; KI scientists involved in the Paradox Project were in the city by the time it was under siege, prompting the Allies to mount a covert operations on the city right after it fell to the Epsilon.
With help from Special Agent Tanya and elements of the American Expeditionary Force, the Allied forces managed to rescue the KI scientists after fighting through Epsilon defenders in the city. Seeking to know more about Yuri's movements, the Allied command have the scientists infiltrate the research facilities under the Epsilon control, taking advantage of a battle on the city to sneak in the scientists into the facility's perimeter. To prevent any further information breaches, the facilities are destroyed not long after the scientists finished extracting information from them.
As the scientists completed their mission, the Allies just need to finish their job by liberating Cannes from the Epsilon occupation. Despite the presence of mind-controlled Battleships bombarding the city, Tanya managed to sink them down, allowing the Allied forces to move in to the Epsilon base and crushed their forces.
1984, November 27: From the information recovered in Cannes, the Allies learned the existence of another Psychic Amplifier in Boured, Morocco. Should the device be activated, the Epsilon will surround the British Isles and take over London with ease. Since a full-scale assault is impossible due to the circumstances, the Allies decided to deploy a small task force to capture a local mind controlled American garrison from which they strike to destroy the Amplifier.
More information indicates that a nearby Psychic Beacon is mind-controlling the American forces; naturally, destroying it should bring them back to the Allied cause. When the Allied forces did destroy it however, the Beacon turns out to be a ruse; the mind-controlled Americans are, in fact, Scorpion Cell fighters using American equipment and vehicles, who soon launches an onslaught to the Allied forces.
After having a hard time to repel the Scorpion Cell onslaught, the Allied forces decided to take no more risks and strike on the Amplifier. The Allies successfully pushed their troops towards the Scorpion Cell lines and destroyed the Amplifier. After fending off several waves of invisible tanks, they suddenly received an urgent message.
1984, November 28: Now having the old Chronosphere under their control, the Epsilon can finally do what the Soviets couldn't in the Third Great War; the conquest of London, but this time from the most unexpected of all places - from within.
An Aerial Fortress Irkalla along with an elite Epsilon task force is chronoshifted right into the city, catching the Allied defenders by surprise as they moved through the city, destroying the Shield Commands protecting London's vital infrastructures one by one, along with nearby military installations to cripple their combat effectiveness. Although the Epsilon forces noticed that something was amiss; the Allies seem to not offering any further retaliation. As a result, they continued their relentless onslaught as more Allied defenders fell before the Irkalla's wrath.
This viciousness lasts until the Epsilon forces reached their grand prize; the SteinsTech Hangar, as they converges to deal the final blow by destroying it. However, just as the Epsilon forces managed to destroy the last Shield Command protecting the hangar, a gargantuan, mysterious airship arose from it and all of a sudden, time stands still before the Epsilon forces, who were then inexplicably met their demise.
It turns out that the Allies knew the Epsilon were coming since they seized the old Chronosphere, and chose to buy enough time so the mysterious airship, then known as the Paradox Engine, can escape.
1984, December 5: The Moroccan Psychic Amplifier was actually a diversion that successfully drove the Allied troops away from the British Isles, allowing an elite Epsilon task force to storm London from within, forcing the Paradox Engine to be launched earlier than intended. The Allies forces rush to the Isles of Scilly to ensure a safe passage for the Engine with the help of the newly debuting "Chrono Legion".
Moments after clearing the Isles of hostile Gehenna's, the Paradox Engine arrives, being escorted by a third of the Allied Navy. Although they arrived in groups after groups, the initial Allied fleet made quick work of enemy naval ambushers while the rest of the navy escorted the Engine from a closer range.
After the Paradox Engine made its way away from the Isles of Scilly, it initiated a time freeze, which helped her escorts in clearing the Isles from the rest of the Epsilon forces as the rest of the Allied forces were able to catch up with the Paradox Engine.
However, this was just the beginning of more hardships for the Allies to come.
Using the Paradox Engine's Time Freeze, the Allies attacked several Epsilon bases in Africa. In order to ensure the development of new weapons, the Scorpion Cell successfully transferred some prototypes to the facilities maintenance tunnels amidst the Allies' attack. After the multiple use of the Time Freeze ability, the Paradox Engine's energy was running low.
1984, December 17: After successfully thwarting off the ambush in the Isles of Scilly, the Paradox Engine's power began to drop. Siegfried noted that by using the Time Freeze twice, along with its premature deployment, it was wearing the battery down and it needed to recharge before they could press on. Their first priority was to locate a good source of power to help the Engine to recover.
Eventually, reconnaissance located a suitable power-charging station: the Epsilon base in Tenerife, located in the Canary islands just off the coast of Africa. Allied intelligence noted that the said base had a Psychic Beacon there that was enslaving the local populace as well as surviving Chinese forces, which had occupied the island previously. If they could get a foothold, locate the Bio Reactors and, with the help of the locals, get them to work at full power, they might be able to continue their efforts to against Yuri. This will take quite some effort however, as the Allied command estimated that it would take a huge amount of power in order to recharge the Paradox Engine.
Once the Bio Reactors are captured and the sufficient power reached by placing spare troops into them, the Paradox Engine's battery is chronoshifted the island to begin the charging sequence. Despite a desperate attack launched by the Epsilon, the battery is successfully recharged, allowing the Allies to purge the Canary Islands from the Epsilon taint.
1984, December 20: Following the rescue of Morales, the Soviets realized that the destruction of Chicago which supposedly left the city utterly uninhabitable is wrong, as it turns out that Yuri had secretly built a Psychic Amplifier on the city's ruins which threatens the Soviets' control in America. Without much time to spare the Soviets moves in to seize the Amplifier before it is activated.
Establishing a foothold in the former Confederation base in the city, the Soviets encountered American rebels, who intended to capture the Psychic Amplifier for their own, fighting the Epsilon forces, essentially making the battle a three-way fight. The Soviets take advantage of this by waiting until the Americans and the Epsilon weakens each other down before moving in to finish the stragglers, although on occasion the Soviets are attacked by both sides.
Knowing that they can't afford to waste anymore time, the Soviets eventually choose to leave the Americans alone and focuses on pushing the line towards the Epsilon base through combined ground and aerial attacks, and successfully "reconfigured" the Amplifier for the Soviet cause, allowing them to re-establish their hold in the country.
The US rebels also captured a Psychic Beacon, and the Epsilon forces went to destroy it to protect the Psychic Dominator, which was under development, from the attack of US remnants and Allied expedition forces.
1984, December 25: Although the Soviets managed to recover from the chaos brought by Yuri and his Epsilon Army for the time being, the overall situation remains grim, leaving the Soviets with no choice but to once again join forces with China (who are not as much affected by Yuri's actions), even if it is only temporary, so they could stand a chance against the Epsilon.
Initial diplomatic efforts went smoothly, despite of China's demands for technological cooperation and POW exchange as the conditions to gain their support once again, and both sides decided to formalize the alliance through a conference in Singapore, but the Epsilon had sent a massive force to keep the Bear and the Dragon from restoring their friendship once again. The Battle of Singapore is just about to began.
Fortunately, the joint Sino-Russian forces defending Singapore had enough time to prepare for the inevitable invasion, and by the time the Epsilon forces show up, their combined efforts managed to held the attackers until the Epsilon presses the attack with overwhelming numbers, pushing back the Chinese forces. In the end, only the perimeter around the Congress remained under Sino-Russian control.
Reinforcements for the Soviets in form of their Confederation allies and Russia's heroes Volkov and Chitzkoi arrived to relieve the siege, and with their help, the Sino-Russian defenders managed to repel the Epsilon attacks with such zeal that in the end, the invaders are forced to withdraw, knowing that they have failed.
The World Socialist Alliance is once again established, and the Soviets now have everything they need to turn the tide in their war against Yuri.
1984, December 26: Although the Soviets are relieved China in their side once again, there is no rest for the wicked, however. Knowing that they have to uphold their promise of POW exchange with the Chinese, the Russians, under the Soviet General, escorts the Chinese POWs back to their homeland.
Unfortunately to the Soviets, the escort won't be easy, since the area in the Sino-Russian border is under Epsilon control. Russia's heroes Volkov and Chitzkoi are on the General's disposal however, and with their help, the Soviets managed to thwart the mind-controlled Russian forces' ambush and allowed the convoy to proceed with relative safety.
Although having to find an alternate route and facing more ambushes in the way, the Chinese POWs managed to reach the Chinese base on the other side of the border. However, more information soon came in that the Epsilon have deployed a Psychic Beacon which would render the Russians' effort meaningless if it manages to take over the Sino-Russian forces.
The General wasted no time and moved his forces towards the Beacon. After a tough fight, they destroyed it, freeing the mind-controlled Russians in the process. The Russians' part of the deal with the Chinese has been successfully completed.
Unfortunately for the Chinese, things would begin to go sour very quickly.
1984, December 29: At the same time, Rahn's forces also attacked a Sino-Russian naval base in Leyte Gulf, Philippines, to explore the intelligence of the new alliance between them. The information obtained shows the destination of the departing Pacific fleet, which aims to prevent the landing of an airborne module which Yuri decided to dispatch the "Ace Card" early with in order to cope with the unfavorable situation, and new technologies being developed in China. Yuri decided to strike the development of the former and sent troops to Kashmir to investigate the whereabouts of these technologies.
1985, January 1: It would appear that the Sino-Russian alliance didn't go smoothly as the latter planned; recently Soviet agents found out about a secret technology research facility developing new weapons meant specifically to be used against Yuri ever since the battle at Primorsky Krai two years ago. Wary on China's true intentions, especially fears that they may attempt to usurp Russia once more after Epsilon is defeated, the Soviets sent a strike force to destroy the Chinese research facility in Xinjiang along with the prototypes.
Led by Colonels Reznov and Krukov, the strike force first moves in to destroy a nanotechnology facility located close to their initial location. A Saboteur team was sent shortly after to infiltrate the Chinese base and find out where the remainder of such critical facilities were. The task force clears the way for the Saboteurs from Attack Dogs and Terror Drones, allowing them to infiltrate the facility and acquired the location of the remaining nanotechnology centers, then known as Nano-centrifuges.
A storm brews in over the skies, prompting the Soviet strike force to make haste to destroy the remaining priority targets. During the fight the Soviets witnessed the extent of China's secret technologies, including exoskeleton-clad soldiers and literal cyborg troopers. With swift and focused assaults, the Nano-centrifuge fell one by one until the Soviets have to stop a different cyborg from escaping before finishing their job by destroying the last Nano-centrifuge. This ensures that China won't have any technological superiority over the Russians for the time being.
1985, January 4: Losses from the recent Allied offensives proved to be too much for Yuri, who have been working on a global mind control device in the Epsilon's lunar base, as well as complications with China, and as the result, Yuri was forced to bring forth his "trump card" into the fray, hoping that it would be able to turn the tide of the battle. Unfortunately, the Chinese learned about this and sent their fleet to intercept the shuttle departing from the lunar base set to land on Totoya Island.
The Epsilon's island base is ill-suited to withstand an invasion, which results in the defenders being overwhelmed early on by the Chinese assault, but the central Epsilon forces reorganized themselves and set up a strong defensive perimeter to keep the Chinese attackers from all sides from reaching the base with help from land-based interceptor carriers and amphibious assault tanks. After setting up a foothold on the island, the Chinese launched aggressive attacks on the Epsilon base, but the defenders held out long enough for the shuttle to arrive.
Upon arrival, the shuttle reveals Yuri's trump card - an overwhelmingly powerful, but extremely unstable, female psychic as the skies turn red. The psychic, then known as Libra, proceeds to single-handedly annihilate the Chinese forces, who by then had realized that she is too strong and ceased their aggression towards the Epsilon forces. Powerless to fight against such inhumanly strength, the Chinese make a run from the island.
Libra's arrival was a major turning point for the Epsilon - her strength will allow them to regain the ground they lost to the Allies and the Soviets, and ensure their ultimate victory.
1985, January 7: After denying China of their advanced weapons technology, it would seem that the Russians are instead desiring to take China's EMP and cybernetics technology for themselves, believing that these were rightfully theirs. Using the opportunity where the Chinese fleet heads down to Fiji for unknown reasons, Russia and the Confederation prepared an invasion of Shanghai with a twist - all of their forces will pretend to be thralls of Epsilon's mind control in order to divert China's suspicion away from them.
Morales was sent in to clear the way for the Russo-Latino invasion by destroying Nuclear Reactors and EMP Control Stations. Avoiding the attention of the locals and Chinese patrols, Morales successfully carried out his mission and evacuated just as the invasion starts. Using Akula Missile Subs and supported by Seawolves, the Russian fleet cleared the shores of Chinese defenses, allowing ground forces to make a landing in the city. The Chinese defenders responded by sending a counter-attack, but the Russo-Latino forces make a short work of them with help of Apocalypse Tanks.
With the Chinese defenders pushed back, the Russo-Latino forces converged together and secured the city. They then proceeded towards the Chinese Military HQ, where every bit of information regarding China's secret weapons technology is stored. The Russo-Latino forces overwhelm the Chinese defenders through constant combined assaults and eventually succeeded in capturing the Military HQ as the information on it were analyzed by the Soviets.
1985 January 10: From the information recovered in the invasion of Shanghai, the Soviets realize that China had put a lot of effort to realize their ambitions. Under the leadership of Yunru, China's young prodigy, an independent army using advanced technologies separate from the Soviet standards such as EMP, cybernetics, nanotechnology and weather manipulation is being made in Kashmir. Realizing that the Sino-Russian alliance was simply a ruse all along, a Confederation army march into Kashmir to claim China's technologies for their own.
When the Confederation arrives however, it would appear that they have underestimated Yunru's ingenuity, as she managed to hide the fact that they have to get through two bases worth of Epsilon forces who are busy engaging two local Chinese garrisons, as well as Yunru having four tactical nuclear missiles of her own. Unfazed, the Confederation resort on using overwhelming numbers and brute force to get through the Chinese and Epsilon forces and claim their prize by eliminating Yunru and destroying the Centurion Siege Crawler.
As they advanced through all opposition to hunt down Yunru and her toy, the Confederation ultimately failed to find her and choose to lay siege on the research facility itself. Despite of the heavy defense on the facility, the Confederation managed to crush the defenders with a lot of effort and captured the facility's Mainframe building to get all they need.
The Confederation's success is short-lived, however; just after they captured the Mainframe, a transmission from Yunru claims that the Soviets will never take her "home" and a MIDAS warhead (supposedly stolen by the Chinese during the Sino-Russian conflict two years ago) kept hidden inside the Mainframe suddenly detonates, vaporizing the Confederation, Chinese and Epsilon forces in the area, Morales being one of the casualties.
In the end, the Russians' arrogance through the so-called "Chinese campaign" spectacularly backfired on them, which may be the beginning of the end for the Soviet Union itself.
1985, January 11: A mind is a terrible thing to waste. The Epsilon learned the hard way that the saying is true when the Russians attacked one of their research facilities that are deploying a mobile mind control device in Bran, Romania. While the prototypes of those vehicles, then known as Masterminds, are destroyed, only one managed to escape, and the Epsilon must recapture the facility with the only Mastermind prototype left.
Having to get through Russian forces lurking in the forest by mind-controlling susceptible ones while avoiding Terror Drones and EMP Mines, the Mastermind prototype pushed into the base with its thralls and eliminated its defenders one by one before mind-controlling an enemy Engineer to capture the facility's Construction Yard, bringing the base back under the Epsilon control.
Knowing that the Russians' attack cannot be left unanswered, the Epsilon organized a counter-attack to repel the attackers. The Epsilon later found suicidal creatures which would then be put to good use, despite the Russians deploying a Stalin's Fist in an attempt to overwhelm the Epsilon defenders.
Under the cover of more Masterminds, the Epsilon forces pushed through the Russian positions and crushed the attackers, along with destroying the sabotaged Psychic Beacon, which was the reason why the attack happened, and repelling the Russians' final charge to the facility. The victory over the Russians allows the Masterminds to be mass-produced, which would prove to be advantageous for the Epsilon later on.
1985, January 14: Despite of Libra's arrival, the Epsilon still have a hard time in dealing with the Chinese. Thanks to a successful operation in Philippines, the Epsilon found out about advanced weapons being developed in Kashmir under Yunru's leadership that could give China a major advantage in the conflict. An Epsilon task force is deployed to destroy the facility, but unexpectedly, a MIDAS warhead is detonated just as the research facility falls to a Russo-Latino army under the Soviet General, annihilating all three sides' forces. Concluding that Yunru would be a threat to Yuri's vision, the Proselyte is sent to pursue and neutralize Yunru once and for all.
Using a relatively small task force to carry out his mission, the Proselyte's first action is to find Yunru's creation, the Centurion Siege Crawler, and destroy it. Yunru herself put up a display of her intelligence by personally hacking the Epsilon battle network which causes the Proselyte to lose track on the Centurion, but nevertheless he managed to overcome these hurdles by clearing the path to a Chinese airbase and assembled numerous Foxtrots to snipe the Centurion.
However, the Proselyte underestimated Yunru's maneuvers; his attempt to bring down the Centurion fails when an Iron Curtain Device was used to shield it. Frustrated, Yuri himself ordered Libra to be deployed into the field to complete the task. After destroying the said Iron Curtain Device, it seems that Yunru has outplayed the Epsilon; the Centurion has its own Iron Curtain generator which makes it permanently invulnerable, thus the Proselyte has no other choice but to destroy it with Libra's anti-gravity field.
This worked, and the Centurion was finally destroyed. Seeing Yunru on the run, Libra quickly moves to intercept her, but just as she is about to move in for the kill, Yunru used a device to tamper with Libra's Cerebral Amplifier/Suppressor, which causes the psychic to go into a violent rage and allows Yunru to escape relatively unscathed.
She used the technologies that was supposedly developed to fulfill China's ambitions, including a tactical artificial intelligence, and also managed to gain support from some elements in the Chinese and Pacific Front militaries, including Rashidi who had given her the MIDAS warhead that destroyed the Kashmir facility - where her "home" used to be.
1985, January 17: Thanks to Yunru's tampering of Libra's Cerebral Amplifier/Suppressor, the psychic was now running amok in the ruins of a Kashmir city, single-handedly beating back any attacks by the Chinese troops and Yunru's loyalists, and not even Yuri's Proselyte could bring Libra back to her senses. Due to this, and the fact that the Proselyte was exhausted by the pursuit of Yunru, another proselyte was sent to the area to pacify and recover Libra.
In order to pacify Libra, a special tranquilizer must be prepared. The Epsilon proceeds to capture a Chinese Field Bureau to prepare it and has to defend it from a counter-attack by the Chinese forces. Once the tranquilizers are ready, it was loaded into a Virus' sniper rifle. The Epsilon forces then captured a Drakuv Prison Vehicle in order to safely transport Libra once she is sedated. After getting past the Chinese forces and Yunru's loyalists, the tranquilizer-laden Virus takes the shot at Libra, causing her rage to settle down and allows the captured Drakuv to safely capture her.
With Libra successfully recovered, the Epsilon forces move in to clear a safe path for their forces to withdraw, and noticed that Yunru's loyalists have mysteriously disappeared. The path was eventually cleared for the Epsilon forces with Libra in tow, and she was successfully brought into safety to recover.
1985, January 20: It turns out that the botched Kashmir operation was a blessing in disguise for the Epsilon; while her CAS was disabled, Libra managed to read the minds of Yunru's companions, which revealed that the Chinese prodigy had made a deal with Rashidi who offered the MIDAS warhead, which was silently recovered from the disastrous escort at Kemerovo Oblast two years ago, as a fail-safe measure against Yuri, in exchange for her protection and technology. As expected, Yuri did not take this lightly and thus sent the Proselyte and Libra to put an end to Rashidi's treason along with his Scorpion Cell.
Upon the Epsilon loyalists' arrival in Bissau, the Scorpion Cell's stronghold, just as the Cell destroyed a local Psychic Amplifier meant to subjugate them, Rashidi explains to the Proselyte that he had doubted the Epsilon's cause ever since the Paradox Engine was unleashed, only to be made worse by Libra's arrival, and resolves to stop the Epsilon loyalists.
During the fight Rashidi had deployed both a Topol-M and a Tactical Nuke Silo, as well as some Chinese equipment, possibly given by Yunru, and Dybbuk-Evolvers to bolster his forces. The Epsilon loyalists responded by deploying their new toys: the completed Basilisks and the Psychic Dominator to give them an edge over the Scorpion Cell.
After using mind-controlled Tyrants to destroy the Tactical Nuke Silo, the Epsilon loyalists pushed in to the Scorpion Cell rebels' bases with overwhelming force and discovered some sort of chemical storage buildings filled with unidentified toxins, and promptly destroys them. Eventually the loyalists managed to bring down Rashidi's Palace, taking the treacherous Scorpion Cell leader with it (or not, since some Epsilon forces reported a mysterious vehicle had slipped from the sewers after the Palace is destroyed).
Left leaderless, the Scorpion Cell rebels were promptly crushed by the Epsilon loyalists, and a new Psychic Amplifier is built on where Rashidi's palace once stood to bring the Cell back to Yuri's cause.
1985, January 21: Unfortunately for Yuri, the Scorpion was a harder nut to crack than first anticipated. Anytime Epsilon forces tried to build another Psychic Amplifier in the African region, they would be sabotaged by Cell operatives. Worse still, the Amplifier in Bissau was destroyed by Allied forces from the Paradox Engine shortly after it was rebuilt. The only device remaining in Africa was located in the Zaire region, where it was caught in the middle of a Scorpion Cell/Allied warzone. Not having much time or choice, Rahn's task force made their way to the region to reactivate the Amplifier before it was too late.
While the Scorpion rebels were distracted by Epsilon main forces with mind-controlled Americans, and after dealing with several Scorpion Cell blockades along the way, Rahn made it to the outpost in time, right at the same time as the Allied main force began their assault however. While an Engineer was being called out to repair the bridge, Epsilon forces had to halt relenting Allied air-power attacks on their Psychic Beacons, losing several troops there.
After the bridge was reconstructed, Rahn entered the outpost and waited until a sufficient force was assembled before making their way towards the Amplifier and dealt with several renewed Allied attacks. Soon, Epsilon forces cleared the way and started reactivating the Psychic Amplifier. It did, however, required at least three out of five Beacons to fully amplify its effects, due to the fact that it was not being tested prior to the conflict.
Allied attacks soon renewed themselves again and large amounts of Epsilon troops were lost in their assault. After 15 minutes passed, all the hostile forces in the area were controlled when the Psychic Amplifier reactivated, pacifying the Zaire region and with the help of three remaining Psychic Beacons.
However, Epsilon received news that the Paradox Engine was heading to Cape Town, South Africa. Rahn was immediately ordered to take a Driller and he left the battlefield, preparing to return to Epsilon Headquarters.
1985, January 24: While Epsilon were busy subduing Cell outposts with their Amplifier in the southern part of Africa, the Scorpion was still kicking despite the heavy loss of personnel. After the destruction of the Bissau palace, Malver lead a task force into hiding, losing contact with Rashidi. Unable to get his help for the time being, in order to survive and to recreate more neurotoxin in the future, they had to turn their eyes to some neurotoxin production bases captured by PsiCorps, who were studying and analyzing the neurotoxin they grabbed. One in Libya had become their target.
Tragically, while Malver's forces were on their way to retake the neurotoxin facility to keep enough supply in their pockets, several Allied task forces were en route to the region to destroy the facility. He used the advantage that the local Mind Readers will not detect stealth units to make his way across the facility, wiping out the Readers with conveniently placed Barrels. A Mine Shaft was also captured to allow more Scorpion operatives to enter the area. Once the Mind Readers in the southwest were destroyed, several Engineers made their way to the mind controlled Scorpion base and captured it.
Scorpion Cell held back Yuri's troops, that were alerted and ordered to terminate them, and several Allied assaults until all their toxin was transferred to the Drillers. During this, the main Allied force arrived with Barracuda support, forcing Malver's forces to hurry and finish the neurotoxin transfer.
Once they finished building up a sufficient amount of Tyrants and several Drillers filled with Engineers, Malver's forces cleared out the defenses in northeast base and captured all production buildings in the area, setting up a sufficient defense while their Engineers captured the vats and held out against para drop attacks from Epsilon forces. With the required neurotoxin now secured, Malver and the remaining non-mind controlled Scorpion Cell forces pulled out of the region and let Epsilon and the Allies duke it out with one another.
During their escape from the region, Malver received a message from a unknown source (most likely from Rashidi), telling that he was fine and heard about the situation in Libya. He also said that the neurotoxin could be improved with the help of their new allies. While it still remains lethal in the long run, they'll need a lot more of it before this is over. Malver was then informed to move it to where they've previously decided.
1985, January 26: With the Paradox Engine unleashed, the Allied forces started to mount aggressive attacks on Epsilon positions in North Africa, sending the Epsilon and their Scorpion Cell allies into disarray as they are unable to retaliate effectively, thanks to the chrono technology which allows the Allied forces to strike one position to another nearly instantaneously. One of the attacks involves an alleged Scorpion Cell weapons research site.
The Allied attack proves to be devastating for the Epsilon defenders; much of the Epsilon outposts are left in ruins, and not even their army of hulking mutants can stop the Allies. Eventually, the Allies managed to destroy a Psychic Beacon which frees the local American garrison as they reinforce the Allied forces and press on to completely crush the Epsilon.
The grueling battle eventually pays off as the Epsilon forces in the area are destroyed. However, unconfirmed reports by the Allied troops suggests that some of previously unknown Epsilon weaponry, possibly prototypes of new ones, managed to escape in the ensuing chaos.
1985, July 27: After fleeing the Soviets' siege, Yunru was again pursued by the Epsilon Army. Libra used the anti-gravity field to destroy the Centurion Siege Crawler and was ordered to chase Yunru, but the latter used EMP to interfere with the CAS device of Libra, causing her to go berserk. The Epsilon Army had to recover Libra in the violent state in the scuffle between the Chinese army and the Yunru's guards. Sometime after the Kashmir Home base's destruction, the aforementioned AI known as VOLKNET went online and noticed that its creator, Yunru is in danger after the Centurion Siege Crawler's destruction. After assessing that her survival is necessary so the Revolt will remain exist to oppose Yuri and his Epsilon Army, the AI moves in to extract Yunru from Kashmir.
With spare forces of Chinese troops loyal to the Revolt, VOLKNET proceeds to cautiously move through the Epsilon pursuers and the Chinese defenders - who are now hostile to the Revolt thanks to Yunru's actions. With Yunru's support, the Revolt manages to push through the opposition inch by inch until they are about to reach the Mangla Dam Lake where a transport is waiting for Yunru.
Wasting no time, VOLKNET quickly decide between two paths leading to the Mangla Dam Lake and clears the area of enemy presence as Yunru reaches the shore. However, the transport takes time to arrive and pick Yunru up, so VOLKNET had the Revolt troops placed on the defensive anticipating any attack.
Sure enough, the Epsilon and Chinese forces arrived in large numbers and duke it out against each other and the Revolt, but the Revolt's determination and VOLKNET's tactical mastery allows them to stand their ground long enough until the transport, a prototype amphibious vehicle made by Kanegawa Industries, arrives and takes Yunru to safety.
1985, February 2: Some good news came for the Allies in their seemingly hopeless situation; one of the surviving Pacific Front research complexes in the US Virgin Islands is working on the Weather Control Device, which was continued after the unexplained loss of SteinsTech Weather Crystals, are being besieged by the Epsilon and their Russian mind-controlled slaves. Although most of the Allied expedition was pre-occupied in Africa, a small task force under Siegfried himself is nonetheless sent to protect the Weather Control Device.
Upon arrival, the task force quickly coordinated themselves with the local Pacific Front garrison in organizing the defense from the imminent Epsilon attack. While this is proceeding, Norio appears to aid in the defense after briefly helping the Russians during the attack on Okawa Falls, along with more PF troops. When the attack comes, the Allied defenders managed to withstand their aggression until the Epsilon launched a Tactical Nuke that destroys the Allied base, forcing the Allied task force to relocate to a nearby island.
From this island the Allied task force can mount an attack to dislodge the Epsilon forces, starting with the mind-controlled Russians. Under the cover of artificial thunderstorms generated by the Weather Control Device, the task force pushed their attack towards the Russian garrison, with the battle raging for extended periods and suffering heavy losses. Nonetheless, the Allies managed to gain the upper hand.
Right as the Russians are on the verge of defeat, however, Yuri himself shows up and scuttled the Psychic Beacon that was mind-controlling the Russians, who choose to fight to the end rather than giving up after they were freed. With the Russians out of the picture, the Allied task force focuses on the main Epsilon force and successfully destroyed them.
With the Weather Control Device fully established and operational, the Allies might have a chance of turning the tides in their fight against the Epsilon. The US Virgin Islands base also allows the Allies to reorganize their scattered and exhausted forces.
1985, February 6: After that, the US troops in San Juan called for help from the Allied forces, and the Pacific Front went to cover the withdrawal of the US troops. Yuri discovered Rashidi's betrayal, and it seemed that he reached an agreement with Yunru. Yuri wanted to use the Psychic Amplifier to control the Scorpion Cell, but failed, so he quickly sent Libra and Rahn to annihilate Rashidi (or they believed) and his traitors. At the same time, Epsilon also traced the neurotoxins developed by Scorpion Cell and sent troops to destroy its research facilities. With the fall of the Scorpion Cell's stronghold in Bissau, the Epsilon was preparing to build a new Psychic Amplifier to control the remaining Scorpion Cell rebels.
1985, February 10: Moving on from the disastrous so-called "Chinese Campaign" with at least some of China's advanced technologies they can salvage, the Soviets are able to restore their satellite network and learned that the Epsilon had established a cosmodrome on Sweden with space launch vehicles seemingly derived from the Russian rockets stolen during the sacking of Leninsk Cosmodrome. Curious on why the Epsilon would need to transport materiel and personnel from and to space, the Russians moves in to take the cosmodrome.
Although only having a minimal force, the Russian strike force was assisted by Cyborg Vanguards "scavenged" from China, which allows them to overcome the opposition as they escorts Chitzkoi into an inactive Aerial Fortress Irkalla so that he can turn it towards it own creator. This works successfully, and the captured Irkalla, dubbed the "Chitzkalla", managed to destroy the Psychic Dominator after previously disabling an Epsilon Iron Curtain Device that shields it.
With little to no opposition left, the Russians proceed to strike the Epsilon cosmodrome and cleared the area, allowing them to safely capture the Rocket Launchpads and find out what the Epsilon are up to in space.
1985, February 17: Even though the Allies managed to protect the Weather Controller from the Epsilon onslaught, they haven't given up yet and were planning something else by establishing a Psychic Amplifier in the Amazonian rain forest to take over the US Virgin Islands base. To make things worse enough, they also deployed two Tactical Nuke Silos as a deadly fail-safe should the Amplifier or either of them is destroyed. Since the Allies cannot risk sending their Chrono Legionnaires, due to wanting to keep the secrets behind their chrono technology safe, Tanya and Norio were sent instead to take care of this new found threat.
Arriving via chronoshift on a Humvee, both Allied heroes realized that everything in the jungle is about to greet them; there are numerous amount of opposition standing in their way, and time was of the essence. The presence of units that could be dangerous to the heroes, such as Viruses, Shadow Tanks and Gehenna Platforms also made things harder than they should be. Both heroes managed to get rid of the Epsilon forces by using careful and calculating methods, and once the way was clear, Norio destroyed one Tactical Nuke Silo and Tanya destroyed the other immediately before it could fire.
Without the tactical nukes, the heroes move in to finally destroy the Psychic Amplifier, now with the assistance from a CIA agent. Although the defenses near the Amplifier's perimeter were quite formidable, the heroes managed to break through them and destroy it, before they are evacuated via chronoshift.
1985, February 18: After the Amazonas operation, the US forces from San Juan and another Allied expedition forces lifted the second nuclear threat to Paradox Engine from São Luís. As the reconstruction of Psychic Amplifier in Bissau was constantly harassed by Paradox Engine, Rahn was sent to reactivate the last Amplifier in Zaire, where he along with the local Epsilon forces successfully controlled the Scorpion Cell rebels in Africa. At this point the Scorpion Cell had been defeated, but Malver managed to secretly recover the Neurotoxin Vats from the Epsilon in Libya.
1985, February 20: While Norio and Tanya were busy dealing with the Amplifier and Silos in the Amazonian rain forest, Allied Command noticed that were dangerously short on resources to sustain their pilgrimage to find Yuri's headquarters. They would need to amass a huge amount before the operation could continue south.
Fortunately for them, reconnaissance reported that the African state of Angola was filled with oil refineries and vast oil reserves. Acquiring these would allow the Allies to extract enough oil to bolster their economic situation. While most of Africa was under Epsilon control, there were reports of a Scorpion Cell insurgency in Yuri's ranks. While Allied Command wasn't sure what caused this, they knew they couldn't waste a golden opportunity.
Allied Command soon sent a task force to Angola to, either, acquire the necessary oil or wipe out the Epsilon and rebelling Scorpion Cell bases. After clearing the base out, the Allied forces constructed their base and built their task force. Using a combination of hard hitting Abrams and the long range firepower of Prism Tanks, along with air support of Harriers, Stormchilden and Warhawks, they cleared out each area an oil refinery was and sent engineers to capture the buildings.
After acquiring the necessary resources, Allied forces regrouped with the Paradox Engine and continued their way south. Stocked up on resources, the Allies could now afford to take more losses than previously expected.
1985, February 22: Tanya and Norio had destroyed the Amplifier, along with the Nuke Missile Silos, preventing an immediate nuclear attack on the Paradox Engine. However, Yuri had become desperate at destroying the flying fortress and has converted one of his rockets into a makeshift nuclear missile. Allied Command soon got intel from their ops about a small rocket launching facility in São Luís, Brazil where the weapon was being prepared.
What it was being used for, originally, still remains a mystery for the Allies. Nonetheless, it had to be stopped, lest the Engine be shot down. Using the recovered American forces from San Juan, Puerto Rico, Allied forces began a full scale attack on the facility. After clearing the way and destroying two Epsilon bases, they sent their MCV's and established two bases to strike Yuri's forces with.
The Allies got much needed help from Tanya and Siegfried, after they had completed their missions in the Amazon and the US Virgin Islands. Using them and a highly mobile strike force, they quickly sniped off the Heavy Kamaz trucks carrying nuclear fuel to the rocket and cleared out the Epsilon bases. During this, a nearby Latin Confederation war factory was discovered with Soviet prisoners inside. According to them, the rocket had a very different purpose. Until now, it used to launch and return on a semi-regular basis with some mysterious cargo. Sadly, for Allied Command, they weren't able to learn where the rocket went.
Regardless, after destroying the Iron Curtain devices and capturing the Rocket Controllers, the rocket was disabled and the Allies could sigh with relief. The Paradox Engine, now free of danger, began its push further south.
1985, February 23: The Allies could begin the long awaited attack against a major Epsilon junction in the Southern Hemisphere - a major comm relay deep within Cape Town to dispatch commands all around the world, to locate Yuri's headquarters. Utilizing the combined expedition force of the Euro Alliance and the Pacific Front, they would make a grandiose landing operation on the west side of Cape Town, intent on, first, retaking the old Pacific Front base, mind controlled by Epsilon's Psychic Beacon.
After a few mins of fighting, the mind controlled Allied units in the base became free with the beacon dismantled, and joined the action of holding the area until the Weather Control Device is constructed in the middle of the Pacific Front outpost, while the "Southern Cross" regiment had begun construction of a base on the east of Cape Town.
Allied Command soon got word that Yuri had sent his submarines to hunt down the Paradox Engine, forcing them to strike early and suffering loses. During the attack, some bad news came in for the Allies: Epsilon forces had managed to destroy the Paradox Engine's spare battery on Ascension Island, forcing the Allied navy to pull back and defend the flying fortress. After more vicious fighting, including several groups of mind controlled Scorpion Cell reinforcements, the Weather Control Device was established and used to destroy an Epsilon outpost just outside Cape Town, allowing the Allies could to chronoshift an MCV in along with several groups of units.
Once their base had been established, the "Southern Cross" regiment began their move south to destroy the Epsilon base, while the south-western Allied forces were not only holding their line but also freed a local Allied garrison from another Psychic Beacon controlling them. They then cleared up the left side of Epsilon presence and began to shore their forces over to Cape Town.
The Allies suffered major casualties from aggressive Epsilon attacks including their newly created super weapon that could concentrate destructive psychic energy on their positions. The Allied task force countered this, however, and soon eliminated these structures, as well as the Epsilon bases.
After the Battle of Cape Town was over, the Allies captured the Radar Spires just as the Paradox Engine soon made its way into the city. Allied Command sifted through the information collected, finding out about some sort of massive unidentified structure that was being constructed. They had to destroy it, lest it be used.
The Allies concentrated all the remaining troops and launched a massive offensive against them. In the end, the Epsilon was defeated, and the Radar Spires carrying a large amount of intelligence was also occupied by the Allies. Through this information, the Allies discovered Yuri's final base in Antarctica. At this time, the Allies had not much left, and the PsiCorps destroyed the spared Supercharged Paradox Battery of the Paradox Engine. The Allies decided to make a desperate attempt to get the whole army and the Paradox Engine to the South Pole.
1985, February 26: With the power of the Paradox Engine, the Allies successfully broke through the first line of defense in Antarctica. But the prospects were not optimistic: Yuri's ultimate weapon was interfering with their communications, and the Paradox Engine couldn't support it for a long time.
1985, November 3: The Allies chose the initial landing site as the Weddell Sea. Through the first wave of time freeze, the pioneers led by Siegfried destroyed the coast guards of the Epsilon Headquarters and established their base. Tanya and more soldiers were then transported and chronoshifted into the battlefield.
After a large-scale confrontation, the Allies established another outpost in a more internal area and discovered a strange cave called a Dybbuk Hive that constantly spawned enemy aircraft at them. After a few minutes of intense fighting, the Paradox Engine finally arrived, escorted by Norio and many Thor Gunships to help fight against Epsilon troops.
The Paradox Engine then activated the second time freeze, quickly demolishing a lot of buildings and units on the way. When the time freeze wore off, Epsilon sent an Aerial Fortress Irkalla to deal with this threat. With the rapid response of the Allies, it was quickly shot down. The Allies also managed to destroy the Psychic Dominators that threatened the Paradox Engine during the time freeze and disintegrated all the Radar Spires and Mind Readers associated with Dybbuk Hives.
As all of Epsilon's main defenses were disintegrated, the Allies did not take long to wipe out all the remaining Epsilon forces in Weddell Sea, only to receive some bad news: Yuri had recalled all his forces from the southern hemisphere to assist in the defense of Antarctica. Norio led the Pacific Front to block the various reinforcements sent by the Epsilon Army from the back, while the European Alliance led by the Paradox Engine and Siegfried continued to move forward to reach the Epsilon Headquarters in the South Pole.
1985, February 29: The Allied forces had to advance to the Epsilon's main base in the South Pole as soon as possible. With the destruction of the Weddell Sea defense line, Yuri realized that time was running out. He decided to complete a unfinished hybrid technology immediately and chronoshift himself to Moscow, through the Old Chronosphere stored at the Pensacola Mountains base, so he can bait the Soviets, whom were currently on the moon. Meanwhile the Epsilon Headquarters was going to defend their second line of defense.
The Allies once again activated their time freeze capability, easily destroyed the outermost defense of Epsilon HQ and established their own base. Not long after, the PsiCorps defense on the other side collapsed immediately, forcing the PsiCorps forces to withdraw their internal organization defenses, and the Epsilon HQ, which formed the majority of the defense, actively launched the counterattack against numerous Allied tanks, aircraft and ships. Epsilon Elites and Colossi hidden beneath Chimera Cores played a big role.
After several minutes of intense fighting, the Paradox Engine broke into the Pensacola Mountains under the cover of a large air armada and navy. Epsilon HQ desperately took out all of their anti-air forces, trying to shoot down the Paradox Engine they feared. It was in vain, however, as all Epsilon forces were killed in another wave of time freeze activated by the Paradox Engine.
The Epsilon Headquarters had suffered a horrific loss of life at the Pensacola Mountains, but they took Libra back, who was previously fighting in the Weddell Sea, and planned to take her to a Driller, evacuate to the South Pole and let her enter Yuri's Tower, as the Paradox Engine was getting closer and closer to the South Pole. Along the way, Libra severely damaged the Allied forces, cleared a path, and escaped the pursuit of the Allied Charon Tanks - they can still easily neutralize the mighty Libra. Meeting up with Rahn, he and Libra joined forces, entered the long-awaited Driller and headed towards the main base.
1985, March 1: Even though Yunru had escaped from Kashmir, she still have to reach the rest of the Revolt, but the numerous Chinese forces and growing Epsilon activities mean that she cannot risk taking naval routes. Yunru are already aware that Yuri will carry out his ultimate plan sooner or later, and to save time, directed VOLKNET and the Revolt to hijack the Ironwing supersonic jet in Kazakhstan.
The Revolt raided a Chinese outpost near the Fort Shevchenko airbase and established their base in its ruins. As VOLKNET prepares the Revolt to siege the airbase while devising a way to not cause too much casualties on the Chinese forces however, the Epsilon arrived and quickly assembled a Psychic Beacon which brings the Chinese forces in the area under their control. VOLKNET could have freed the mind-controlled Chinese, who are directed by the Epsilon to crush the Revolt, but it choose not to, so the Revolt won't be overwhelmed by two enemies at once.
With the lack of resources in the area and the constant pressure by the Epsilon and their Chinese thralls, VOLKNET decided to have the Revolt steamroll their way through the overwhelming opposition while slowly withering down their production capacity through guerrilla raids. Eventually this worked as the Revolt succeeded in destroying the Iron Curtain Device shielding the airbase, and captured it. With the Ironwing under the Revolt's control, Yunru arrives shortly afterwards and managed to board it after being escorted by the Revolt.
1985, March 6: After Yunru reached the rest of the Revolt, things began to take turn into worse for them. Now convinced that there is an insurgency movement within them, China starts to fortify their holdings, including the Kanegawa Industries facility in Hidaka Mountains, Japan, which assists Yunru in the development of particle collision technology. Learning of an imminent Epsilon attack to the region, the Revolt sets to re-establish contact with the Hidaka Mountains facility.
The Revolt made an amphibious assault that crushes the Chinese shore defenders and allows Yunru to join the fight. Knowing they can't just waltz into the facility's front entrance, the Revolt choose to take the further but safer way. The Revolt succeeded in reaching the facility, which prompts the Chinese forces to launch a counter-attack as Yunru acquires everything she needs, but the Revolt managed to repel them.
Before leaving the facility through the Ironwing, Yunru directed VOLKNET and the Revolt to capture the local Epsilon Radar Spires to learn about their recent activities. VOLKNET also noticed that the Epsilon is moving in to destroy the Chinese-held Hokkaido Seismic Stabilizer; it subsequently directed the Revolt to cease their hostilities with the Chinese and liberate the local Pacific Front outposts before capturing the Radar Spires.
With the help of pro-Revolt Pacific Front forces and Future Tank prototypes, the Revolt liberated the Pacific Front outposts one by one while avoiding engagement with the Chinese, sometimes indirectly helping them holding back the Epsilon. Meanwhile, VOLKNET managed to regain control of four larger Future Tank prototypes and used them to support the Revolt's push to the Epsilon base.
After a weary fight, the Revolt succeeded in seizing the Radar Spires, forcing the Epsilon troops to withdraw, but the information from the Spires showed that the Revolt is running out of time.
1985, March 12: From seizing the Epsilon cosmodrome in Sweden, the Soviets learned that the Epsilon had built a large base on the Moon for a yet unknown purpose, possibly acting as their main headquarters from which Yuri is to rule over the world after carrying out whatever his ultimate plan. In order to hopefully end the traitor or at least learn where he is, if Yuri is not there, the Soviets launched their first ever space warfare on the Epsilon lunar base.
Due to the nature of the operation, the Russian force will have to make do with limited technology consisting of most Soviet armored force but with only specialized, space-adapted infantry including Cosmonauts, although they also managed to procure a working, reverse-engineered Centurion Siege Crawler. Furthermore, the Soviets also have to keep at least one Rocket Launchpad at their hands, since it is the only way for them to travel back and forth into the Moon.
The battle over the Moon initially went in the Epsilon's favor since they employed a wide variety of aircraft, unlike the Soviets who didn't even able to use any, as well as modified Gehenna Platforms with thermal cannons instead of a Dybbuk-Interceptor, and a tougher version of Brutes. However, the Soviets countered them with sheer force and by employing Cyborg Vanguards who are capable of surviving in the vacuum of space.
During a lull in the fight the Soviets intercepted transmissions from an unknown soldier whose voice matches with that of someone in the Soviets' database. The said soldier then showed up as the Soviets push into the main Epsilon compound, who promptly attacked them with absurdly overpowered weaponry that allows him to beat back the Soviets single-handedly until Chitzkoi managed to sneak up on him and takes him down. Wanting to know the soldier's true identity, the Soviets decided to recover the body for further investigation. They also noted the presence of a strange site consisting of numerous "bio-tanks" like the one in Rio with a larger version of it at the center.
Ultimately the Soviets succeeded in crushing the Epsilon resistance and claimed the lunar base for their own, from which they learned that Yuri is in Moscow. Now with the capability to attack anywhere on the Earth, the Soviets prepared themselves to complete their vengeance in the final battle against Yuri.
1985, March 18: The Proselyte protected the Chronosphere at all costs, but still lost from the Paradox Engine. Yuri was eventually sent back to Moscow to attract the attention of the Soviets, while the burden of protecting the Antarctic headquarters was handed over to the Proselyte, and Libra went to the South Pole under the escort of Rahn. The Soviets got the news that Yuri was in Moscow, and most of them that stayed on the Moon. They then launched several attacks on Epsilon's bases in Russia, recovered the Apocalypse Tank technology and destroyed the Epsilon backup base in Stalingrad while the lunar forces prepared to use the global strike capability to launch the final attack on Yuri.
1985, March 20: When the Soviet Union located Yuri's position, a plan to restore the Russian territory was established, and the Soviets began to assemble all the troops they could dispatch, sending them back to Russia to launch the final counterattack against PsiCorps. One of the troops went to the Apocalypse Tank production facility in the Ural Mountains, where they decided to take back the production base from Yuri and then head west to Moscow and support other Soviets there.
There were still some Soviet troops in the Ural Mountains that had not yet been controlled by PsiCorps, including the production base troops, but they lost contact with the main force. After the main force arrived here, with the help of Cyborg Vanguards, the road to Psychic Beacon which, the biggest threat in front of them, was cleared. After destroying said beacon, they completed the joint with a small outpost. As more Soviet troops joined the action, they began to move toward the research base, destroying the newly built base by PsiCorps at the bridgehead, repairing the bridges destroyed by the personnel of the research base, and then their Palace.
While the outpost forces continued to defend against the PsiCorps attack, the main force in research base were busy defending PsiCorps' larger offensive at all costs, such as shooting down numerous Kirov Airships. Once the outpost troops were idle, they went to destroy the nearby Epsilon base to allow more Soviet troops to come there, and then went to the PsiCorps-controlled Soviet outpost, destroying the Tactical Nuke Silo that they were built there. It was after a few minutes that the blueprint of the Apocalypse Tank in the palace was finished.
When the defensive mission was completed, the Soviets began mass production of more Apocalypse Tanks, launching a full-scale attack on the Epsilon main base, including the navy deployed in the river. The Soviet army's offensive was very strong so that it didn't take long for the Epsilon main base to fall, and the remaining troops fled.
1985, March 22: After tapping into the Epsilon's communications, the Revolt realized that everything is spiraling out of control quickly - the united Allies invaded the Epsilon's headquarters in Antarctica, forcing Yuri to speed up the activation of his "tower". The Soviet forces under the Soviet General also have mysteriously disappeared, and China had been convinced that the Revolt is a threat to them, possibly due to an information leak by Yuri. However, not all is bad for them - Rashidi, the Scorpion Cell's leader, had managed to contact the Revolt after he narrowly escaped just as the Epsilon destroyed his palace during the battle of Bissau. For now the Revolt have to think a way of escaping the imminent global mind control, but they have to face the Epsilon navy and their Russian slaves at the Bering Sea first.
The Foehn have established a base in the Bering Sea, where Yunru and Rashidi, who had just arrived, takes shelter in a Nano-centrifuge, leaving the fight to VOLKNET and one of its subroutines. After deciding which force it should command with, between the Pacific Front and the Chinese, VOLKNET quickly assists its subroutine to clear a nearby island so it can establish a forward base. With the help of various prototype vehicles, such as next-generation Hunter-Seeker drones, Chinese mobile ECM platforms, heavy amphibious armored personnel carriers and hovering artillery platforms, VOLKNET and its subroutine cleared one of the three outlying islands and quickly set up its forward base there.
VOLKNET noted the presence of an Epsilon Rocket Launchpad on the Epsilon navy's base, and directed the Revolt to seize it as an escape plan should things went out of hand. The push towards the Epsilon naval base was so grueling, not to mention the Epsilon's Russian thralls and holes from which seemingly limitless Dybbuk jets emerge making things harder for the Revolt. Unexpectedly, amidst the battle, the Epsilon dismantled the Rocket Launchpad - VOLKNET believed that the Epsilon either can't let the Revolt take it or no longer need it, or perhaps Yuri had anticipated the Revolt's attempt. VOLKNET and its subroutine then decided to destroy the Epsilon forces instead to ensure their safety.
After figuring out the way to silence the Dybbuk hives and reinforced by more Sino-Japanese forces, VOLKNET received the authority to call in heavy gunship prototypes at the Epsilon base. Under the cover of the gunships' cannons, the Revolt managed to reduce the base into rubble and sink much of their fleet.
Without any other alternative to escape the imminent activation of Yuri's ultimate plan, the Revolt heads down further through the Arctic, hopefully able to find a place far away from the Epsilon's Antarctic headquarters to survive should all is lost.

1998, June: The Siege of Elysium started by Foehn First Fleet. With the entry of Revolt spacecraft's into Epsilon held Mars, hundreds of battle groups of Pteradon gunships and hundreds of Foehn fighter craft battle against Epsilons network of Irkalla Space Fortresses, their dozens of Salamander craft escorts and hundreds of Epsilon interceptors. When the Epsilon space defense grid fell all remaining Foehn forces land in large canyon outside Epsilons capital, Elysium. With the liberation of the worlds population minds from the Babel Tower, Elysium remains the last Epsilon held area in the solar system. With Intel Foehn had gather from former Epsilon "Proselytes" and the Psychic prodigy Libra, Yuri plans to regroup all his remaining loyal forces at Mars utilizing a series of unstable first generation Chronoshperes. Mars at this time was considerably under developed, lacking the most basic drilling resources to make valuable minerals available for miner vehicles. It was discovered after the siege that Yuri had not been in the city at all, it was found that he used a stolen prototype FTL spacecraft to escape. With the Babel Towers capture, Elysium city having fallen and Yuri's retreat into deep space the Conscious Slumber had finally ended.
1999, July: Using intelligence gathered from the ruins of Elysium, a new modified version of the infamous "Terranova" is discovered and is contained. The Epsilon High Proselyte identified Mihovil Slavic is captured brought to trial in Geneva. Mihovil Slavic was one of the many Soviet officers that fled the USSR during the Allied occupation and after not returning was reported MIA. His only surviving next of kin, his nephew Davor Slavic, Davor's wife Silvija Slavic and their son Anton Slavic have made no comment Mihovils role as Yuri's second in command, it's presumed they had little contact with him for years since his disappearance. Davor is is known to be a member of Euro Alliances espionage organisation, The Black Hand. The small family has been noted to have legally changed their surnames to Silvija's maiden name, Bakula.
1999, August: Around the globe people everywhere celebrate their new found freedom. With much of Allied and Soviet leadership killed during GWWIII and the Mental Omega War many countries around the world remain without governing bodies but many more countries with provisional governments affiliated with Foehn. The wars left much of the world devastated leaving the Latin Confederation and the European Alliance, not unscathed but relatively intact to become sole superpowers and natural leaders of the Soviets and Allies respectively.
1999, September 15: Chancellor Yunru invites Allied Supreme Commander Jorge Gibson, Premier Ruslan Zadorov, President Izabelle Espinal and Prime Minister Adele Merrick to a conference in Geneva. With their respective countries being leaders of world organizations of broken world, Yunru negotiates to have the remaining countries of the world to forgive past grievances to rebuild. With national borders of the majority of the planet being long dissolved, New borders are drawn up. The state of Alaska having been essentially independent of the old US, chose to remain under Foehn governance. The state of Hawaii and the Pacific territories of the old US, declare independence as the Kingdom of Hawaii and align themselves with the newly reorganized Pacific Front. The relatively stable states of California, Oregon and Washington unite into the Pacific States of America and also align themselves with the Pacific Front. The Confederation withdraws it's military and remaining Soviet soldiers from what used to be America. Tensions rise among the remaining states of America, scattered groups with differing wants and needs and access to military hardware are close to bringing the continent into war.
In exchange for withdrawing troops from Allied territories, the land that was once part of Uruguay, Paraguay and Argentina are annexed by the Latin Confederation. Foehn withdraws military assets from the territory of Chile which then allies with the Confederation. French Guyana, Puerto Rico and the Falkland Islands are conceded from the Allied Nations to the Confederation and Allied citizens given the choice to be repatriated to Allied territories.
Iceland is realigned to the Euro Alliance while Greenland and Svalbard join the EA but also allow military access to Foehn. The countries of Moldova, Ukraine, Belarus, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Finland are organised into the Intermarium Federation as a buffer block between Soviet Russia and the Euro Alliance. The IF is organised into semi autonomous states with borders based on ethnicity and culture, with rotating capital cities. The Orthodox Church of Kiev rises to become the new center of Orthodoxy. To appeal to Russia, Intermarium allows them railroad and warm water port access. To prevent social unrest in parts of western Europe, the island of Ireland is united under the Republic of Ireland, Scotland is given independence from Great Britain and Catalonia and the Basque country are given independence from Spain and France respectively. Controlled artificial earthquakes created using Soviet Hammer technology raise the lowland countries and relieve them from the threat of flooding. Federal Germany and the Austrian Republic Unite. To prevent an ethnic war from breaking out in the Balkans, the nation's of Slovenia, Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, Kosovo, Herzegovina, Montenegro and Macedonia are federated into a new nation, Yugoslavia. Turkey now under President Alan Bilgili gives independence to Armenia and Kurdistan in order to appease the Euro Alliance.
The entirety of North Africa aligns with Foehn with Daud Rashidi, son of Scorpion Cell leader Ahid Rashidi. The Project "Operation Oasis" utilizing Foehn and the Allies weather manipulation technology is set to begin. Allied West Africa centered around Liberia is reorganized into a confederation model of government. Soviet Central Africa composed of Cameroon, Central African Republic, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Congo, Zaire, Angola, Zambia, Malawi and Mozambique reaffirms its alliance with the World Socialist Alliance.
South Africa, Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe constitute the Commonwealth of Southern Africa.
Southern Sudan, Ethiopia, Somalia, Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda, Burundi and Tanzania found the Union of Eastern Africa.
The Commonwealth of Southern Africa, The Union of East Africa, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bengal organised into the "Indian Front" after the Pacific Front model.
In the Arabian peninsula the House of Saud was found to have gone extinct during the previous wars with all its members either dead or missing. The House of Rashid being former rulers of Nejd took the role of new kings of Rashidi Arabia and having Islam reformed just like how Christianity did centuries ago. The fertile crescent with the exception of Allied Israel and increasingly pro-Allied Turkey, are federated under Foehn. The nation's of Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan and Afghanistan ally with Foehn, with the majority of them having had seceded from Soviet Russia.
The legendary Soviet Commander of GWWIII and the MOW remains the most senior politician within Soviet Russia and as Premier grows content to rebuild his motherland.
The region of Kashmir is taken into Foehn rule as sovereign state with India, Pakistan and China relinquishing territorial claims to the region. With the politburo of China having been killed by Epsilon and the remaining free minded Chinese Military command allying with Foehn, it was expected that China remain with Foehn rule. Although areas such as Tibet, Mongolia and Manchuria remain with Foehn the rest of the pre war provinces of the Chinese Federation were united into the Chinese Directorate as a Foehn associate. The Republic of Japan returns to the Pacific Front from Foehn. Both Korea and Vietnam are united under mixed governments.
The region's of Antarctica and the Arctic remain under direct Foehn control being the only power that can project power that far.
1999, September 26: At the final day of talks the Foehn Federation, the World Socialist Alliance and the Grand Alliance of Nations found the United Nations an international organisation dedicated to maintaining mutual benefits to all nations and to resolve international disagreements from escalating into war. The founding charter maintained that a security council would be formed with representatives from the three powers having permanent seats and another three rotating seats. The Bill of Sapient Rights is established to protect the dignity of all human and human-like life such as cyborgs, AI, mutants, genetically modified humans and possibly in the future, aliens.
1999, October 13: The Chinese Directorate was allowed to renter the World Socialist Alliance seeing as the WSA had two superpowers in Soviet Russia and the Latin Confederation while the GAN had three superpowers in the Euro Alliance, Pacific Front and Indian Front.
Utilizing communication methods developed during the last two decades Foehn creates a world wide network which would later be developed into what would be called the "internet". A majority of provisionally governed areas receive a connection to this network.
1999, October 31: The Second American Civil War breaks out with the Commonwealth of New England, the Empire State, the Union of Steel, Dixie, Federal States of America and the Republic of Texas. The Commonwealth is the most receptive to the new world order and is significantly pro-Foehn and staunchly independent from the larger unions of America. The Empire State is majority pro-Allies but wish to remain independent of both the Union of Steel and Federal States. The Union of Steel is pro-Soviets wishing to reunite the Socialist States of America. Dixie is composed of the traditional states of the old Confederate States of America and is wholly anti-Soviet, anti-Allies and anti-Foehn. The Federal States of America are led under former US Vice President Dustin Bright who has rallied US Rebel forces during GWWIII to restore the Union, they have control over a quarter of former US Military hardware and US bases centered around the Cheyenne Mountain Complex. The last constituent of the war, the Republic of Texas, comprises of unsurprisingly Texas, and also include several less powerful states such as Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arizona. Texas like the Commonwealth and the Empire State would remain independent but conversely to them would remain isolationist and neutral for the time being.
Nevada under Reginald Edgar House, ruling from Las Vegas, choose to remain independent using its robot army to protect his borders.
The Pacific States of America, Allied Canada and the Latin Confederation garrison their borders to protect against the "Dis-United States of America".
1999, November 1: The UN creates branch organisations, each with their own focus.
1999, November 25: The WHO have all cloning facilities, worldwide, built by Epsilon dismantled. By using the conducted worldwide census, all cloned human are relocated to different regions within their own nations to prevent accidental inbreeding and social unrest from clones living knowingly or unknowingly with their or as their "prime" human. There also exist plans to send off these clones to off world colonies. There are an estimated 100 million clones globally and millions more unknowingly living the lives of their deceased primes.
1999, December: The world census show that the global population is 4 billion, with an expected population boom in the near future. Of those 4 billion, 10 million have some form cybernetic enhancement. The population of AIs number at 21,000.
2000, January 1: With the beginning of new millennium humanity rejoices the end of their bloodiest war torn century and tearfully mourn the deaths of over 1.6 billion people.
"We can not change yesterday, we can only make the most of today and look with hope toward tomorrow." - Foehn Chancellor Yunru
2000: Pacific Front designed Seismic Stabilizers are built all over the world to completely prevent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Magma Taps at these facilities provide a sporadic source of useful minerals.
2001, November: The first commercially available space flight to Mt. Hadley lunar colony is brought by a joint effort of Pacific Aerospace Exploration Agency, European Space Agency, Coronian Aerospace Board and the Soviet Agency of Joint Aerospace Exploration. The original colonists had been from Allied nations but after being liberated from Epsilon by Commander Ruslan Zadorov a second wave of colonists arrive, primarily being from free minded Soviet citizens. The colony having had citizens of both sides of the prewar political blocs, were more receptive of the cooperative nature of the new Allies, Soviets and Foehn.
2002: The Second American Civil War draws to close with no side outright winning fighting simply dies down. The Commonwealth of New England having had the Empire State as a buffer only suffered minor raids by the Union of Steel Navy, with war winding down the Commonwealth applies to be integrated into the Foehn Federation. The Empire State having learned from the Soviet invasion of 1982 had successfully utilized guerrilla tactics against the Soviet based military of the Union of Steel. The Empire States capital of New York had once been the economic capital of the US and the Allies and in this new world order rejoins the Allies with ambitions to become the economic capital of the world. The Union of Steel made the most gains in the conflict, with its states now from Dakota to Pennsylvania. Dixie has lost the most of former US equipment, so much so it's armies depend on guerrilla hit and run tactics. They have only just managed to maintain most of their historical borders. Thankfully no Confederate States nationalist has managed to convince congress to re-appropriate Texas into Dixie or to reintroduce slavery but had managed to convince most of congress from vote to rejoin the federal government. The Federal States of America are left reeling after a devastating battle at Mount Rushmore had it retreat back to the state line of Dakota. The only positive of the battle seemed to be that the Union of Steel would equally be unable to use the reported "Rushmore SPECTRUM Array". The Republic of Texas simply chose to maintain its borders with its larger more aggressive neighbors.
2003: Foehn scientist and special operative, Eureka, develops next-generation plasma propulsion engines and spearheads a project to retrofit Foehns Navy to allow them to become flight capable. The WSA and GAN Navies after having been given the technology out of goodwill follow suit with Foehns example.
2004: The city of Elysium is rebuilt and resettled by a new generation of Mars colonists. WSA, GAN and Foehn governments build garrisons near the city in the scenario in which Yuri would return with a rebuilt Epsilon. Reusing existing Epsilon magnetic satellites and Soviet Tesla technology an artificial magneto-sphere is created around Mars. Another satellite network, this time using prism technology is left in orbit of Mars which is then utilized into concentrating sunlight on Mars Ice Caps.
2005: Expeditions to Venus, Mercury and Jupiter are launched within months of each other. The Mars Network of Satellites is planned to be used on each heavenly body by each expedition. The first volunteers for human testing of the new "Kalos" strain of the Terranova Virus are conducted in orbit of Luna. The newly built Chrono Nexus facilities two of which are built at both the North Pole and South Pole are opened for commercial use of traditional Chronoshift and Chronolift for long distance transport. Identical pairs of
Chrono Nexus facilities have been planned to be constructed at the Lunar Poles and Martian Poles.
2006: The FFV Dauntless, after extensive rework to make her space worthy, is the first actual waterborne ship to traverse space rather than the specially built spacecraft. This development changes the approach building of building spacecraft, modern technology makes it cheaper to retro fit existing naval ships to be space worthy and an added incentive to make ships flight capable. A meteor had been observed from Earth to be emitting exotic radiation, for security reasons was pushed from a collision course with Earth to new trajectory with Mercury. A young Anton Bakula becomes the youngest person to be inducted into The Black Hand.
2007: Underwater Seismic Stabilizers and Magma Taps push development of underwater cities.
2009, March 26: A Martian listening post receives a signal not of known channels. Despite originating from Mars experts conclude it is of alien origin. The source was traced back to the Acidalian Plain and exploratory teams are sent by each military garrison. The signals contents was shockingly easily interpreted by their equipment as audio and even shockingly more so, the audio sounded like a spoken language.
2009, May: After a decade of continuous work Operation Oasis has been bearing fruit. Through use of a swarm of self replicating nanites, entire swaths of the sands of the Sahara are bound with clay to retain water. Purpose made civilian Weather Control Devices create regular storms. Foehn redirects tropical storms from the Atlantic Ocean and Indian Ocean and blizzards from the Arctic, Siberia and Antarctica to the Sahara. Genetically engineered plants that grow faster, have stronger roots and have tolerance to salt water are seeded across the Sahara. Carbon and other greenhouse gases collected from airborne and terrestrial Windtraps are used to fertilize the growing Saharan ecology.
2009, April 1: Allied fire team Echo-03 locate a large cavern entrance sealed off with a solid metal "vault" door, where they conclude that through the doors design being unlike any known human construct on Mars is indeed alien. After having been reported the exploratory forces rendezvous a kilometer directly fronting the entrance.
2009, April 2: Immediately MCVs are dispatched and after they arrive, deploy and begin base construction within an hour of having since started the cavern entrance opens. Three environment suit clad bipedal figures exit the Vault. One having a male humans proportions, the next having female humans proportions with an elongated helmet and the last having female humans shape despite being 8ft tall. After having made greetings with the aliens, Anthropologist Dr. Maxwell Lawson, had managed to gesture to continue talks within a civilian space habitat reserved for this purpose. Following entry of the habitat the three figures surprisingly remove their helmets. It was expected by the scientists that these aliens would have completely different physiology and thus breath differently. They also concluded that however unlikely, an alien species wouldn't risk cross contamination of disease. But no they remove their helmets regardless. An even greater shock to come was the appearance of the aliens. The male looked completely human, the first female looked once again human but had horns similar to goats, small vestigial wings and a long thin tail and the second female looked most alien of the three, having again reassembled a human but was 8ft tall and had a singular, black, rhino-like horn and a reddish tan complexion. Videos of these beings have speculative xenobiologists under mountains of doubt of their previous assumptions of how intelligent life develops.
2009, April: Having the "Alien Vault" being dismissed days ago as hoax or practical joke, then after official reports give confirmation that humanity has indeed made first contact with aliens did the shock settle in. Videos released have raised questions of possible Epsilon experimentation is involved with how human-like the aliens appear and whether they're Epsilon created mutants. Reassurances from the resident linguist, Simin Tirmizi, that their language is too divergent from any language to have developed from Epsilon mind thralls. Other wilder conspiracy theories and speculation include alien abduction and experimentation, ancient aliens, extraterrestrial origins of life and in some crazier corners of the world, the biblical end times and apocalypse. Optimists dismiss this as paranoia and hold hope to humanities first contact with real intelligent alien life to be peaceful.
2009, May 4: After a month of deciphering their language the head of Foehn Hailhead Psionic Bureau, Libra, personally transfers herself on site to advance to the next stage of First Contact, communicating through creating a Psionic Amalgamate. After a month of both parties learning the others languages, the Martians seemingly grasped English, Spanish, Chinese and Arabic near fluently, while the expeditionary linguists led by Dr. Tirmizi, learned enough Martian for conversational use but have not nearly progressed as fluently as the Martians did with Earth languages. When explaining what a Psionic Amalgamate entails none of the Martians appeared surprised at the concept and the Martian man, Tus'Cahnt of Kirmani, volunteers. After promptly forming a Psionic Amalgamate, Libra has her new found knowledge of the "Tief'Afi" language copied through memory imprintation. Afterwards a more formal and proper introduction was given, the man introduced himself as Tus'Cahnt of Kirmani and as his groups linguist, the shorter woman announced herself as Tus'Ja, daughter of Lady Tus'Liet, their city's leader, and lastly the giant woman made herself known as Tiani of Balkhi. Promptly a mutual exchange of information between parties was carried out. It's discovered that their society have been living in vast, advanced, underground complexes around Mars with populations only in the tens of millions. Concerning their biology their people maintain centuries long lifespans, all members having Psionic abilities and how they have nine subspecies, all except one of which are female mono-gendered.
2009, May: With continued talks between the Tief'Afi Noble Houses and Elysium, it was agreed that the native Martians would all be relocated to the newly built Argyros. When told that the UN intended to terraform Mars, the Tief'Afi Noblewomen near jumped at the opportunity to express gratitude. They seemed less enthused when they learned that all their Vaults in the Martian lowlands would in years to come be underwater, but were still elated at the prospect of Mars even having bodies of liquid water.
2010, February 6: The Tief'Afi are evacuated from their homes preemptively before the rising Boreal Sea will submerge their Vaults, to Argyros City. Argyros was built at the approximate center of the Tharsis Plateau to allow them to grow and develop the soon to be Tharsis Peninsula. The city had also been built with the taller Tief'Afi in mind. In particularly attention had Bern given to the fifteen metre tall "Gigantes", with public buildings with enlarged entrances, wide walking roads and warehouse sized bungalows in a sub-urban neighbourhood layout for the Gigantes residents. For the comparatively small but still tall "Oni", "Ogre" and "Troll" residents had the simpler modifications of added height in all constructions and more durability given to everyday objects. The "Devil" and human residents had the least need for additions to their amenities.
2010, March 4: The Argyros census tallied up 40,374,009 Tief'Afi residents of all nine subspecies. Detailed examination of the populations genome show that the nine subspecies are related to humanity. Collectively sharing 99.2% of DNA with Homo Sapiens and the only Bi-gendered subspecies of the nine having 99.98% Homo Sapiens DNA. While raising more questions than answers particularly as to their genetic heritage and as well as ours, the DNA responsible for their natural psionic ability, elongated lifespans, and exceeding physical prowess is studied by the Hailead Intelligence Bureau, RnD Division.
2010, March 13: The cities surrounding land had incorporated fertile topsoil imported from the Elysium Horticultural Towers, giving the Tief'Afi for the first time in a thousand generations, vegetation. Each new settler over the years, every year, would each plant a new tree around Argyros. The Tharsis National Park to this day remain the Emerald of Mars with over five hundred million tourist visiting yearly.
2011: The Venutian and Mercurian colonies are established and their terraforming programs are started. The Jovian lunar colonies of Io, Callisto, Europa and Ganimede are established. Probes sent into Jupiter's atmosphere show a foreign object at the eye of the 'Great Red Spot'. Construction of the first Space Elevators, by the three powers, begins.
2016: The Terranova Virus Lunar research team, after incorporating Tief'Afi DNA, have successfully modified the virus into a beneficial, passive, genetic modifier. The Kalos strain of Terranova is distributed to hospitals throughout the solar system under the pretense of a new vaccine.
The colony of Titan is established.
2018: The extensive proliferation of the Terranova Kalos Virus is noticed only after the entire population of the solar system is infected. After tests by the WHO show that the virus is seemingly mutating beneficial traits, similar to those known of Rahn, the virus is deemed benign at worst. Research into a cure is still conducted by the WHO, which is covertly sabotaged by Foehn. The Commonwealth Institute of Technology develops a synthetic human, Foehn uses this to transfer AI into "empty" biological bodies. The moral dilemma of "killing" the personality of transferring consciousness into a body is made irrelevant. The VOLKNET AI is transferred to a synthetic body, similar to that of pre-cybridized Volkov, who his mind was modeled after. After this point all new AI that are born, are given new Synth bodies. Observations of Europa's sub surface ocean reveal evidence of a complex, indigenous biosphere. The UN passes the Xeno-ecology Preservation Treaty to protect alien life, the Board of Xeno-ecology Protection (BOXEP) is established to enforce the treaty.
2019: An Intermarium based scientist, Sigita Briedis, discovers a method of Faster Than Light travel. She sends a drone probe to Pluto and back to Earth in 27 seconds through distorting and shortening the space between two points. The power needed is relatively lower than what scientists speculated. The primary disadvantage being that the space in between the ship and destination have to be empty. It's limitations are speculated to restrain Foehn into "Inter Stellar" lanes, with longer trips requiring more advanced calculations. Sigita Briedis' newly dubbed "Distortion Drives" are supplied to all Foehn spacecraft.
Latin Confederation scientists, headed by Daniela Brito, in the same year developed their own unique method of FTL. With the use of "Iron Curtain" radiation, Disparity Drives rupture a rift in reality, to a parallel dimension. This named "Subspace", where the amount of effort to reach relativistic speeds is less than ours, and the universal speed limit are magnitudes faster than our universes speed of light. Both the Soviets and Foehn up until now were dependent on Allied Chrono Jump drives.
2022: Four years after the Kalos Virus is discovered by WHO, efforts to research a cure are completely squashed by mass protests around the world. The Kalos Virus was found to have among other things, prevent aging and degradation, cured genetic diseases, reduced the cases of cancer and in some instances, reverse aging. People in their fifties to nineties, had four years ago reverted to having their 40 year old physique and thirty to forty year olds re-attained their 20 year old physique.
2024: Operation Oasis is declared successful. The majority of the Sahara was reclaimed and restored to a verdant grassland. This gives the Foehn Federation an additional approximate 500,000 square kilometres of arable land with the rest of the Sahara being bodies of water and diminished deserts. Projections show the Foehns plans of reclaiming the Syrian, Arabian and Gobi deserts for even more arable land would elevate them to the world's top producer of food. The desert reclamation methods are utilized for terraforming.
2028: Humanity becomes a Tier 1 civilization by optimizing its use of Earth resources. All of the energy of Earth is utilized, the weather, the heat of the core, the movement of its crust and the oceans movements. The UN sets a goal of becoming a Tier 2 civilization within a century.
2030: All three superpowers send a colony fleet of 300,000, to the Alpha Centauri System, 15 light years from Sol. The WSAV Oaxaca is the first to arrive at 20 seconds, the GAV Arcenaux is second to arrive at 56 seconds and the FFV Yukon arrives last at 168 seconds.
The same year, the three powers begin to probe star systems, dozens at a time. Systems with good development prospects are sent automated colony ships, ships that are VI run to either terraform planets, gather resources or build infrastructure for future development. When these ships find life, from simple single celled organisms to rudimentary multi cellular life, as per BOXEP conventions, the VI is made to prioritize observation and when necessitated protect the alien life.
2046: The native Martians as well as Tellurians celebrate the complete terraformation of Mars.
2057: The terraformation of Mercury is hampered by the proliferation of an alien crystal. The crystal is first discovered and catalogued by Dr. Ignatio Mobius as Tiberium. It was named after the Tiberia Plateau, which was named after the river Tiber of Italy.
2059: The Latin Confederation born Dr. Tratos, a pioneer of xenoarchaeology, discovers the missing half of a Bolivian alien artifact on the surface of Mars. The Tacitus is translated by Tratos, revealing unknown fields of science and technology.
2064: One hundred and four light years from Sol, First Contact is made with the Theres of the Lecres solar system, a pre FTL space faring civilization. A people related to humanity, the Theres people are part of the growing registry of "liminal" subspecies of humanity. The people of Theres include Theresian Humans, Lizard-men, Lamias, Harpies and Centaurs, and all their subspecies.
2071: Scientific teams led by Dr. Mobius and his daughter, by Dr. Petrova and Dr. Raveshaw, and by Dr. Tratos set up on Mercury to conduct research on Tiberium. The exportation of Tiberium is heavily regulated to curb its spread solely to Mercury.
2076: The Tiberium infestation of Mercury is declared critical. The UN quarantines Mercury to all traffic and closely monitors Tiberium and if deemed necessary, seizes it. The colonists of survive the new harsh conditions of Mercury by mutating. The mutants of the newly named Forgotten of Mercury share a resentment to the UN, but generally are apathetic to its citizens and more friendly with non-Tellurian people. Only with the leadership of Tratos do the Forgotten remain unified and non violent to humanity.
2081: First Contact is made with the Tauret of the Austmen solar system, 129 light years from Sol, an atomic age civilization. The Taureta people compose of Taureta Humans, Minotaurs, Pans and Satyrs and all their subspecies.
2084: The UN establishes Rodina as it's 100th Colony System with hundreds of outpost systems and thousands of probed systems.
2096: The Erhea System, 179 light years from Sol, is observed to have two garden worlds with two separate civilizations. First Contact is simultaneously made with the Pescid people and the Ken'Casus people. Both are pre-spaceflight civilizations, but due to their close proximity, they have been in contact through radio for decades.
The Pescid people are made up of Pescidi Humans, Mermaids and the plantoid Dryad and all their subspecies.
The people of Ken'Casus comprise of Ken'Casus Human, Faunus, Kobold, Akuma and Monoeyes and their subspecies.
2099: Discoveries on genetics from the Tacitus, are utilized to improve upon lifespan extension, effectively making the entirety of humanity biologically immortal.
2115: The UN population has finally reached over 1 trillion sapiens.
2123: The Donis System, 187 light years from Sol, First Contact is made with Cutarap civilization, a newly industrialized people. The Cutarap people compose of Cutarese Humans, Arachne, Mantis, Mites, Bees and Moths, and their subspecies.
2127: The probed Alsava system is discovered to have an intact ring world. The ring-world is observed to orbit it's star at 1.89AU. An ecumenopolis world is also found within the system orbiting at 2.17AU. A priority colony fleet is sent to the system.
2128: Scans of the system reveal debris fields of thousands of warships. Surface investigation of the Alsava Ecumenopolis show that intelligent, possibly liminal life exist within the lower levels of Alsava Prime. The Slime, Changeling, Mimic, Beholder, Dullahan, Mind Flayer and Human populations remain disparate. Alsava Prime, although ironically having infrastructure with the potential to house a population upwards of quadrillions, is found to be the second lowest liminal population when found. The 2 million natives of Alsava are all found to have the strongest Psionic potential of all human and liminal species.
2130: Ancient Human ruins found all over Alsava Prime and all liminal worlds show ancient star charts with Sol and the Liminal Home-worlds incorporated. These archaeological findings fundamentally change the perception of "humanity" and it's shared heritage with its neighbours.
The Alsava Ring-world is found to be uninhabited by any intelligent life, and despite supposedly being abandoned for millennia is perfectly functional. It is reserved to feed, fuel and fund the development of Alsava Prime. The Ring-worlds plentiful living space, serves to attract migrants to populate the neighbouring ecumenopolis.
2132: Chancellor Yunru personally invites liminal leaders to talks of their people's integration with each other. She rationalized that whoever or whatever destroyed the ancient humans would be powerful enough to survive for as long as they had, would if not return, be eventually found by humanity. While appealing to their sense of shared ancient heritage, shared genetics and pragmatism she incorporates the liminal governments to join the UN.
2134: With technology salvaged from the Alsava debris field, the Slipstream Drive is developed by Mitsuo Fujikawa and Wyatt Shaw. Although similar to GSA Disparity Drives, Slipstream travel is slower than all other previous FTL methods. The primary advantage of Slipstream is its lower operational costs which make it the primary choice of corporations.
2137: Having to adapt to sociopolitical climate of modern civilization, the WSA, GAN and Foehn Federation reform their governments. The WSA is reformed into the Galactic Socialists Alliance. The GAN is restructured as the Solidarity of Allied Systems. The Foehn Federation is reconstituted into the Foehn Federated Coalition of Orion.
All these governments are changed to allow colonies more autonomy and to decentralize power from Sol in consideration for the colonies and the liminals civilizations. Terra still remains as a cultural and symbolic center of Tellurian Humans.
2139: The GSA moves its Politburo to the planet Maestre of the Tolledo System.
The SAS transfers its parliament to the planet Wells, in the Arcturus System.
The FFCO relocates its government to the planet of New Sahara, in the Song System.
The UN relocates it headquarters to the Alsava Prime ecumenopolis as it's new capital. Efforts from all three Tellurian superpowers restore 10,000 square kilometers of Alsava Prime to full functionality.
2145: Orbiting a moon in the Raega System, 1075 light years from Sol, First Contact is made with the Yuht Commonwealth by an Outer Heaven pirate hunters. This is the first encounter humanity had with a truly alien species, rather than other humans and human subspecies. The Yuht are the most unique aliens so far encountered by humanity. The Yuht are 12 metre tall, "lobster-like" arthropods that are supposedly long lived. All these features, on their own aren't uncommon, but this is the first time all three are seen by humanity. The UN Headquarters at Alsava receive Yuht delegates. The Yuht having not developed FTL, expanded it's territories using cryogenics and conventional space travel. Borders are established and trade deals are made between the UN and the Yuht Commonwealth.
2150: The first Dyson sphere of the UN, around Sol is completed. The UN becomes a Tier 2 civilization.
2163: The Planet Shanxi is settled by the Chinese Directorate. An alien artifact, named as the "Tuning Fork" for its appearance, is discovered in the system. Investigations reveal negative results and the device remains inactive.
2175: A Futuretech owned mining vessel encounters a Jehetma made probe. First Contact is made with the Jehetma. The Jehetma are discovered to be fungoid, although not unknown is rare in discovered space. An "individual" among the Jehetma is actually a large colony of fungi that has developed sentience. Some of these colonies, generally those that have lived for thousands of years, stretch across several miles and rarely leave the surface of Jehet Prime, their home-world (few ships are large enough to transport them).
Younger colonies are not only smaller, but also tend to be more dynamic and mobile - they often spearhead the exploration and research efforts of the Jehetma, as well as any defensive measures that are regrettably undertaken when the Dominion is beset by aggressors.
2192: The total population of the UN, of humans and non-humans, had finally reached one quadrillion.
2213: The GSA announced that the Lance of Jupiter, has finished construction.
2231: A passing survey shuttle, in the Giuaust System, detects a weak signal that is traced back to within the atmosphere of a local gas giant. First Contact is made with the Daf'Nak of the gas giant Tolokrom. The Daf'Nak choose to join the GSA as they share similar political and economic ideologies. The Daf'Nak being the first Gaseous life encountered by the known galaxy little to no complaint or competition when requesting colony rights to gas giants.
2235: The population of the Alsava system reaches over three trillion, becoming the fifth most populace system in the UN and is the fastest growing system of the known galaxy.
2238: The FFCO revealed that the Aegis of Atlas and the Harp of Gaia finished their construction.
2241: Yuht Commonwealth develops their own form of FTL. The Yuht are the first to discover Element Zero and develop Eezo Drives.
2247: The SAS 147th Expeditionary Fleet makes First Contact with the molluscoid Glebsigi, in orbit of the planet Ladnah. The Glebsigi established a firm societal foundation on Ladnah using a mixture of spiritual doctrine and careful organization. The Glebsigi Holy Tribunal respectively declines to join the UN instead opting to ally as an independent entity.
2267: The SAS announced that the Halberd of Kronos completed its construction.
2340: The Yuht Commonwealth petitions the Chinese Directorate for access to the long dormant "Tuning Fork".
2341: First Contact between the Citadel Council and the UN.
