Author's Note: Prologue and First chapter rewritten. Squad 75 will be the protagonists of my fanfic based on Valkyria Chronicles 4.

I don't own anything in relation to VC or any other character, idea and concepts that belong to other series

Prologue

BGM: Valkyria Chronicles-Main theme

In the year 1935 EC, Two major world powers controlled the continent of Europa. The East was dominated by the Autocratic East Europan Imperial Alliance, commonly known as The Empire. While in the West, a commonwealth of allied democracies formed the Atlantic Federation, informally known as The Federation. Tensions rose over the precious mineral, ragnite, a resource both powers depended on for their survival and its scarcity inevitably led to war. The struggle for supremacy over the continent that became known as the Second Europan War (EWII) began when the Empire aggressively crossed their western borders and the Federation responded in kind. The Empire using its military superiority, gained early victories and quickly put the Federation on the defensive.

Emboldened by their progress and momentum, the Empire set its sight on the Principality of Gallia, a small neutral nation that borders both the Empire and the Federation and possessed the largest ragnite deposits in all of Europa, a quality far too tempting for the Empire to ignore. Declaring war on Gallia on March 15 1935, the Empire amassed troops along the eastern border and marched its army into Gallian territory. In response, Gallia's policy of universal conscription was put into effect and every able-bodied man and woman is drafted into military service and organized into the militia. The militia, particularly the 3rd regiment, along with a detachment whose name and actions remain in the darkness of history, would play a major role in the war against the Empire and gain many victories.

BGM: Republic Commando - Vode An (except replace Corusant with Randgriz)

However when the Empire advances, they bring not only their massive army but also a far more sinister force lead by a unit whose very existence is one of the darkest secrets of the empire, unleashing terror and causing even more destruction and casualties. To combat the threat, an elite, covert special operations unit would be deployed. Handling high-risk operations too delicate for standard units, this unit would complete critical objectives with courage, precision and excellence to ensure victory for the larger Gallian forces. This is the story of the Advanced Recon Shock Troopers (ARST) and how their actions determined the ultimate outcome of the Gallian Front.

Author's note

This is my attempt to write a darker story of Valkyria Chronicles that will feature torture, human experimentation and more violent, gruesome deaths. I always thought that VC was just a simplified kiddy version of world war II and the holocaust, one that does not truly portray the horrors of war. While this fanfic will be much darker than the original game, it will still contain humor and other lighthearted aspects that was present in the game such as the beach scene and Largo's veggie obsession. For this story I will be borrowing things from other franchises and series. The following information are a brief overview of concepts and ideas I have for this story so far. I don't own VC, any of the characters except my OC's, and the ideas and concepts from franchises/series, and etc. and as noted in my profile don't expect skilled writing since this is one of my first fanfics and don't expect regular updates.

Ducat: The Official Currency of Gallia, based on the newspaper cost in VC II (15 ducats), 10 Ducats equals $1.00 in my story

Galphabet: The most common written form in Gallia (It's from Valkyria Chronicles art book page 283)

Christianity: The dominant religion of Western Europa. Has an unfavorable view of Yggdism, regarding it as an idolatrous cult.

Fossil fuel/Oil: The primary source of energy for nations that possesses little to no ragnite. While a method for refining oil has been discovered it is ignored by the major nations although some figures see great potential.

ARST: The Advanced Recon Shock Troopers, nicknamed the Night wolves, an autonomous special operations unit whose very existence is unknown to even the majority of the highest echelons of the Gallian government and military. Composed mostly of orphans subject to intense training since childhood with Darcsens making up more than half the total number, the night wolves are the very best of the Gallian military.

Taen: The ancient Darcsen language in this fanfic. Taen is Mando'a from Star wars. The name itself is from The Darcsen People of the Sotian Continent page from the nationstates site.

Occasionally I will write a mass effect like index for people, weapons and other significant subjects. Rate and Review
