A/N: So, here is another story by me. Originally I planned this to be humorous with my own OC added here but I scrapped the idea. As you all know, I am not good in properly writing a good own character so I ended the idea. For TJ the Huntsman, that story will be on hiatus since I am not a proficient writer, I'm an amateur at it. Though I may have taken up English classes, I never delved for writing ang literature and only began writing my stories since I was bored on lockdown. Anyway, enough about that, on with the story.

The world of Remnant is a very unique place. A planet filled with diverse beings ranging from humans, to faunus and other living things. Both humans and faunus rose as the dominant species of the planet and conquered nearly all the areas which they live to make civilization. While in the present, it looks successful with independent kingdoms standing and being a safe haven for it's people, the beginnings were very troubled. While there were some agreement between the two races to live in peace, the majority viewed each other as unequals and deserved to be treated poorly, thus creating conflict between the two races. While they were at odds with each other, at least they can agree on one thing, grimm. The creatures of grimm were a mysterious species, beings made of darkness and feasts off the negativity of people. Instead of continuing dispute with one another, the humans and faunus decided truce was to be made and they will all be fighting against their common enemy. The grimm were an ever present threat that still plagues the planet today.

As time moved forward, the people of Remnant decided to move to each specific continents where they will flourish their civilization and build the 4 kingdoms which we now know today, that being Vale, Atlas, Vacuo, and Mistral. From there, they began to develop. They used their land's resources, discovered dust and utilized it's uses to the fullest, and each kingdom developed their own protectors. The peaceful times didn't last long, which lead to the Great War, where each Kingdom fought against each other for many years until a treaty at Vytal was formed thus making peace among the four kingdoms. Still, racism towards faunus was present and thus creating the still ongoing Faunus rights Revolution. The effects of this thus lead the four kingdoms to create an island where the Faunus will live by themselves and be free. This island is now known as Menagerie. Both humans and faunus settled on the kingdoms and continents, while the faunus considered Menagerie as a place where no humans are welcome. But, it has been known that a secretive nation is still present, where there are only humans who settled in it and no faunus present, according to the rumors. That nation was known as Gulch.

Each kingdom came from their own respective continents, with Sanus containing Vale and Vacuo, Solitas containing Atlas, and Mistral on Anima, Gulch was located on a very different one. In their early years, it was not as densely populated as the other kingdoms and no faunus were present there. Only the humans who have dared made the journey to settle in this continent lived there and constructed their settlements. What made this nation different from the others was that this place had little dust mines, thus giving them a great disadvantage with it's neighbors. When the other kingdoms made great accomplishments, they considered Gulch's advancements lowly and viewed the kingdom as unimportant. As the other kingdom's armies grew, Gulch didn't have a strong one yet and focused their time into finding other resources besides dust. It was a long and enduring process, but after years of hard work, they finally made groundbreaking discoveries. No longer did this small nation rely heavily on dust, they now found other alternatives to it. When the rest of Remnant competed with their own accomplishments, Gulch decided to remain uninterested and focused on activities that will give them a name for themselves. That is to reach the place where no human or faunus has ever went, outer space. Years passed by and they finally made the first non dust powered aircraft to go to orbit. The people of Gulch rejoiced at this feat and decided that this is a secret that only they know off. Thus, without the disturbance of the other kingdoms, Gulch continued to advance into a spacefaring nation.

When the Great War started, the four Kingdoms clashed against each other because they have many powerful fighters and armies, but Gulch however wished to remain neutral themselves because they don't have a strong fighting force and seceded from joining. While some of the other kingdom's aristocrats and politicians agreed to keep Gulch neutral, some were scheming. With each battle ongoing, more land was lost. So some kingdoms decided to join forces and set their sights on Gulch to expand their territories and promised to share the land when victory is assured. Gulch, unaware of this, was completely unprepared when the kingdoms invaded it. Their cities were destroyed, their army quickly overwhelmed and defeated, and many civilians killed. Gulch's leaders were very infuriated because their promise was betrayed and was tricked into believing that they were safe from the bloody skirmish.

In an act of defiance, the government decided to spend more time in bolstering their kingdom's military. Many people volunteered to join the army to show that they are willing to fight for their home and beat the invaders, while engineers and scientists worked nonstop in making weapons and equipment that will give them an edge. Due to finding other resources, productions were exceedingly fast. All of their weapons do not use dust whatsoever. They produced lines of assault rifles, battle rifles, shotguns, SAWs, DMRs, Sniper Rifles, Rocket launchers and etc. They also produced jeeps with machine guns on their backs called Warthogs along the Scorpion Tank for added firepower, they created mechs like the Mantis and the Cyclops to aid ground troops. For aerial combat, their came the Pelicans, Falcons, Wasps, Hornets and some fighter jets. Thus, the Unified Gulch Army or the UGA was created. Now with a proper fighting force, Gulch joined the war and considered all four Kingdoms it's enemies. They vowed to create no alliances and end their friendship and ties to the four Kingdoms.

Even with their army, Gulch still had a hard time gaining an advantage because the other kingdom's armies were already battle hardened and skilled, with their enhancement of aura and semblances. But even with all the odds stacked against them, they remained undeterred. It was at this time that Gulch found their answer to aura, semblances and the highly skilled Huntsmen and Huntresses each kingdom had, the Spartan Project. They made the idea of supersoldiers going into the battlefield with highly advanced armor. The government approved of this and the program was a success. Now Gulch had their monsters to unleash to the battlefield, the SPARTANS with their MJOLNIR armor. Due to the expensive cost of the Spartans, they weren't plenty of them so the army began more intense training to create elite spec ops teams to back them up, the ODSTs or Orbital Drop Shock Troopers, or Helljumpers as they were famously called. Since Gulch managed to be the nation that got to space, they also made the idea of highly trained soldiers dropping to the field from orbit. Aside from them, they made advancements with the Navy with them making Helicariers and battleships. The navy also invested in making the first starships to use in combat. With Gulch's army having their own skills, it was now divided into four, the Army (Unified Gulch Army/ UGA), the Marine Corps (Unified Gulch Marine Corps/ UGMC), the Navy (Unified Gulch Navy/ UGN) and the air force (Unified Gulch Air Force/ UGAF). Before, it was called the Unified Gulch Army, but since it has expanded into different branches, they now renamed their entire fighting force as the Unified Gulch Military.

The UGM was now composed of the four branches stated above, the Army, the Marine Corps, the Navy, and the Air force; with the Spartans as part of the Navy, and the Helljumpers being the elite spec ops group of the Marine Corps.

As their armies evolved, they also made the very first smart A.I which would also help change the tides of battle in their favor. With this also started the creation of more and more to assist them.

Gulch now had a powerful military and managed to oust the combined forces of Vale and Vacuo, and Atlas and Mistral. The four kingdoms, realizing that a nation once feeble retaliate greatly against them, the four kingdoms withdrew from battling the country and continued the war only amongst themselves. Gulch celebrated this victory and fully seceded from the great war due to successfully defending their home against all the odds pitted against them.

Now that they are officially out of the war, their leaders turned to focus on rebuilding their cities, thus creating large and futuristic metropolises, such as Chorus, Valhalla, Iris and many more. They also focused in creating strong walls and defenses for their lands such as anti-air turrets, nuclear ICBMs, giant mortars and plasma cannons and more to avoid being invaded. Gulch also began to work on massive starships and cruisers, heavy cruisers, and frigates and destroyers to patrol from above. The UGM Infinity, a supercarrier was secretly made in the works. With them knowing that all the other kingdoms were considered enemies, Gulch sealed and isolated itself from the rest of Remnant with no knowledge of their accomplishments and creation were spread. Outsiders were prohibited and unwelcome thus they closed all of their borders. No other kingdom has heard of Gulch ever since and only rumors were thrown about.

Gulch did not even participate at the Vytal treaty and refused to partake in the festivals.

Due to the paranoia they experienced from the war, some of the leaders of Gulch decided that with the completion of the Infinity and the slipspace drives, they plan to abandon Remnant and bring their people to explore new places to live. The others weren't so much agreeing with the plan and decided to stay in Gulch while choosing to remain isolated from the world. The government came to an agreement that while some of them will explore space, the rest will continue to live their lives normally. While there were no Huntsmen and Huntresses present at Gulch, it's military is still fully active and strong, ready to engage any threat that could happen.

It is because of the Great War that Gulch shunned off Remnant's culture and made their own. They neglected the use of aura and semblances because they believed that even without them, they still won the war and are okay to not have one. They also rejected the ideas of huntsmen and huntresses and the academies because they already have a strong and active military force. They also did not call themselves a kingdom but a country.

A few years have passed and a new president was selected. The president was a peaceful one and pitched the idea that since the great war was over, she planned to open up their borders but will continue to have it's military presence. Many of the people disagreed with this and said that they will continue to be isolated, while the others said that they could try to be a little more open and not to be overcome with fear and delusion that there was still an ongoing battle on the other side. This has been a continuing debate but as this was still in progress , Gulch still continued to shut itself from the rest of Remnant with them making rules that they will never share anything that is currently happening in their country, and that none: not one single bit of info shall be shared outside their borders.

Back to the military, new ideas were created. Due to the success of the Spartan Program, Gulch's military had the idea of creating MJOLNIR armor for non augmented personnel. This has led to the creation of Simulation troopers. These were voluntary soldiers who agreed to test the new armor in training grounds such as Blood Gulch, Rat's nest, and Sidewinder. They were split into two groups, the Reds and the Blues. There the army would simulate their battles to test the armor along with experimental equipment. The highly skilled volunteers are known as the Freelancers. These troopers were to test the more advanced armor and were given better equipment and will assist both sides during simulations.

With all of these advancements, the country of Gulch became a strong and independent, but also a very secretive nation, with it's current political situation deciding whether they open up their country or continue to hide and treat the rest of the world as their enemy.

END

A/N: And there you have it. Now most of Gulch's lore has Halo in it because Red vs. Blue mainly utilizes them. Without Halo, Red vs. Blue may not have been a thing which is why I incorporated that into this story. Our lovable misfits will be appearing in the next chapter. So what do you guys think of this introduction? Please feel free to review.
