Gears of War: E-Day

1. #1Sera

   Keys: Sera, Age of Armageddon, Silver Era, Era of Silence, Pendulum Era

   Overview

   • Sera is a habitable planet and the only astronomical object known to harbor life. Sera orbits its Sun every year, approximately 420 - 460 days, to complete one revolution. Sera rotates around its own axis in 26 hours. Sera's axis of rotation is tilted with respect to the perpendicular to its orbital plane around the Sun, producing seasons. Sera is orbited by two permanent natural satellites, and has numerous planetary neighbors, including Risea.

   Topography

   • The topography of Sera consists of a few very large, contiguous landmasses surrounded by the Serano Ocean, as well as several small island chains.
   • The general topography of Sera is varied, ranging from great plains to jungles, woodlands, sand deserts, ice tundra, plateaus, volcanoes, and coral reefs. Due to natural formations and numerous burrowing creatures, the subterranean regions of Sera are riddled in a honeycomb of tunnels and caverns; known as the Hollow.

   Environment

   • The environment and geography of Sera allowed for life and produced an incredibly diverse ecosystem. Humans emerged on Sera and developed a planet-wide civilization after thousands of years. Humans depended on Sera's biosphere and natural resources for their survival, but have increasingly impacted the planet's environment, which includes the usage of Imulsion as a fuel source.

   History

   • Sera has a history of conflict that took the planet to the brink of destruction on multiple occasions.
   • Age of Armageddon: a millennia-long global conflict which very nearly destroyed the human race. At some point, the people of Sera rejected their destructive ways and the very concept of war, ushering in an era of peace and prosperity.
   • The Silver Era: An era of sword and chariot-based warfare. Kashkur and Gorasnaya both founded empires during this era and conquered the territories surrounding their native homelands. For both empires it was their golden age: Kashkur used their silver mines to fuel their empire and built Anvil Gate to protect their southern borders from enemy invaders; the Gorasnaya Empire controlled a population of four hundred million, before losing control and receding to its original borders. In comparison, the city of Ephyra during this time was only a village with homes made out of manure.
   • The Era of Silence: A period of uninterrupted peace that lasted until the Pendulum Wars. Although most conflict was solved peacefully, civil liberties and crime remained troublesome social issues even in a Golden Age of culture, science, and the arts. Yet one problem stood prominent above the rest: energy. Sera's sources of petroleum and nuclear fuel were not sufficient to meet the global demand. Imulsion, with its promise of near limitless energy, was thought to be the solution to mankind's greatest need. The era ended with the onset of the Gold Rush.
   • Pendulum Era: Following the perfection of the Lightmass Process, the hope that cheap energy would perpetuate the Golden Age was shattered. The global economy crumbled, leaving only the few nations with access to Imulsion unscathed. Those nations without Imulsion, faced with an economic collapse and utter ruin, launched an invasion against their neighbors to obtain that key resource; once again, Sera was going to war. The battle lines were drawn between the Union of Independent Republics and the Coalition of Ordered Governments. The seventy-nine year war, which would be referred to as the Pendulum Wars by the whole of Sera, almost destroyed both factions and Sera itself, with the reemergence of weapons of mass destruction. The environment was significantly damaged and several cities were completely leveled, as seen with the city of Berephus during the prelude to Operation: Leveler when a COG Navy unit bombarded the city. Many places were completely devastated by the war, torn apart and scorched from gunfire, cannons, missiles, bombs, other conventional weapons, as well as the aforementioned reemergence of the use of weapons of mass destruction. The Battle of Aspho Fields ushered in the end of the Pendulum Wars two years later thanks to the development of the Hammer of Dawn, but the decades of conflict had exacted a heavy price from the people of Sera. It seemed that unified under the victorious Coalition of Ordered Governments, Sera could finally enter a second Golden Age.

3. #3Coalition of Ordered Governments (COG)

   Keys: Allfather, Coalition of Ordered Governments, COG, Coalition

   Overview

   • The Coalition of Ordered Governments (COG), colloquially shortened into the Coalition, is a supranational and intergovernmental military collective originating on the planet Sera during the Age of Silence. Following the discovery of the fuel source known as Imulsion, the visionary statesmen of eight sovereign nations—collectively referred to as the Allfathers—united their homelands into the Coalition in order to protect their Imulsion reserves from competing powers. The guiding principles of this new alliance were outlined in the Octus Canon, which resulted in a political doctrine that championed collectivism, militarism, and nationalism.
   • Headquartered in the Tyran capital of Ephyra, the Coalition originally permitted its members representation in the deliberative body known as the Council of Sovereigns; however, the pressure of nearly omnipresent warfare resulted in its eventual dissolution, solidifying power in the hands of its executive—the Chairman—and military leadership.

   Pendulum Wars

   • Several decades after the discovery of Imulsion, the Coalition experienced the first major threat to its existence. Following the collapse of the global economy, the Union of Independent Republics (UIR)—a military alliance of Imulsion-poor nations—attempted to seize control of the global Imulsion supply from the Coalition, launching a seventy-nine year conflict known as the Pendulum Wars. The two sides fought one another to a stalemate before the Coalition captured the schematics for an orbital superweapon—the Hammer of Dawn—in the Battle of Aspho Fields.
   • With assistance from the physicist Adam Fenix, the Coalition successfully weaponized the technology, deploying the Hammer of Dawn against the UIR in the Battle of Bonbourg and convincing its leadership to surrender. Although some small holdouts refused to accept the armistice, the Pendulum Wars ended and the majority of the planet experienced peace for the first time in nearly a century.
   • The victorious Coalition emerged from this conflict as the dominant superpower on Sera.

   Society

   • COG society revolves around the military, especially the army, and is bred into the social fabric.
   • COG society revolves on the policies and ideologies that the COG was founded upon in both the Austere Canon and the Octus Canon. In the Austere Canon, the ideals of 'order, diligence, purity, labor, honor, loyalty, faith and humility' are stated. In the Octus Canon, several ideologies and values such as loyalty, respect, honor, responsibility, living clean and frugal lives and the idea that being a part of society and working hard for the greater good will 'hand on safety and prosperity to future generations' is written. Other ideologies of COG society include the unification of the people and state. COG society also focuses on the reliance on people as neighbors and friends, for people to help each other out in hard times.
   • COG citizens and mostly Tyrans don't normally protest government actions regardless of the actions. Students in East Barricade Academy were more vocal about protesting the Pendulum Wars, which was in fact fought over Imulsion rights and not democracy, and some students accused Gears of being 'baby killers' for taking part in the war during a Career day event at the campus.
   • Propaganda is huge in COG society, whether it is for positive effects or negative effects. Propaganda is common throughout all sides of the COG, from the military to the common civilian sector. Many families have a long line of military service and traditions. In COG society, joining the military is a norm and is considered a taboo if one did not.
   • During the Pendulum Wars, there was some anti-war protest among some of the people of the COG, especially among the liberal youth. Some of this anti-war protest ran rampant at LaCroix University and at East Barricade Academy mentioned above.
   • Order is everything in the Coalition of Ordered Governments, and even before its founding, especially in Tyrus. Order not only have to do with the government, military and civilian sectors and society but also have to do with recording, archiving and bookkeeping of records and documents that encompassed everybody in the COG. Every file and document is recorded in a ledger and stored away for storage and removal including reports, seismograph charts, photographs and aerial recon photos, maps, schematics and technical journals. Even when the COG is in a significant crisis, people record and keep records of everything that happened.

   Culture

   • The COG has a very diverse culture, from the tribal South Islanders (along with the Northerner immigrants) to the very militarized Tyran people that idolized the Armed Forces. The Kashkuri people's pride and joy is their Silver Era history and Silver Era architecture.

   Keys: Coalition of Ordered Governments Army, Gear, Onyx Guard, NCOG, Marine, Commando, Special Tactics Group, Coalition of Ordered Governments Navy, En-COG, Coalition of Ordered Government Air Corps, Navy, Air Corps, COG Army

   Overview

   • The Coalition of Ordered Governments Army or the COG Army is the main branch of the COG Armed forces and the primary basis for the authoritarian COG society.

   History

   • The COG army was formed prior to the Pendulum Wars, and was the main fighting force against the Union of Independent Republics army during the conflict.
   • Due to the COG's stance on the military and the society centered around it, the war went on for 79 years. With the COG Army supported by vassal nations, non-militants, and volunteers from the Pesang, the COG army fought in battles across Sarfuth, the South Islands, and the Ostri Republic.
   • This went on until Mjr. Victor Hoffman's commandos stormed Aspho Point and turned the tide of the war by stealing the Hammer of Dawn technology.

   Gear (Infantry)

   • Gear is the term for the standard infantry of the Coalition of Ordered Governments armed forces.
   • The term comes from the rotating machine which signifies the unity of the COG and the place of the Gear.
   • Gears are highly trained and resilient soldiers. Many of them have combat experiences from the Pendulum Wars. Gears are also trained as paratroopers.
   • Gears are mostly from Tyrus, South Islands, Kashkur and are organized into squads of four to six soldiers.
   • There are recently introduced Commandos, or the Special Tactics Group, who were the behind-enemy-lines special forces troops during the Pendulum Wars.
   • Weapons: Gears equipped with standard COG weapons including the Lancer Assault Rifle, Gnasher Shotgun and Snub Pistol. This is standard unless a Gear is a designated marksman, in which case they are equipped with the Longshot, and has a specially adapted helmet, or is part of a specific unit with different equipment requirements. Some Gears even use the Vulcan Gatling Gun.
   • Frag Grenade: Standard-issue fragmentation grenade. The grenade's structure consists of an explosive attached to a chain-like extension that is swung around and released when enough momentum is gained to throw it. The grenade's blast radius is quite large.
   • Armor: The COG​​ Army has the standard infantry armor of light shade of blue held together by two 'seals,' which resemble two large circles over the chest area. There is a black Crimson Omen between these seals. On the back of the suit is a magnetic 'holster' that resembles a general infantry backpack, allowing Gears to carry two weapons on their back. The armor comes with the compatible apparatus-equipped helmet with a built-in filter that provides protection from inhaled chemicals, blunt trauma, shrapnel, and low-velocity or poorly aimed bullets. The torso part of the armor is more heavily armored than the rest of the body, offering decent protection to vital organs but not sacrificing mobility by bogging down the limbs. This heavy cuirass is bullet-resistant and can withstand a few shots. Identification lights are on certain areas of the armor and power pack.
   • Some Gear squads have access to bot units.

   Onyx Guard

   • The Onyx Guard is an elite special operations unit in the COG Army that serves directly under the head of the Coalition of Ordered Governments. They operate at the sole discretion of the Chairman.
   • Formed of loyal, battle hardened Gears trained in the Onyx Guard Academy of Halvo Bay, they are a mysterious and deadly unit.
   • Onyx Guard have its own air wing, tank battalions and troop regiments that are capable of fighting on the frontlines and behind-enemy-lines.
   • Onyx Guard Armor: Members of the elite Onyx Guard wear unique variants of standard COG armor. Their armor is completely black with the exception of the glowing eyes of their helmets, a single glowing strip down the center of the chest plate, and two glowing spots on the back shoulder blades. Onyx Guard armor covers the wearer completely. Also, there are more armor plates, meaning that the Onyx Guard armor is far stronger and more durable than the standard COG armor.

They are trained to become specialists in naval and amphibious combat, as well as beachhead assaults and the boarding of enemy naval combatants. NCOG Marines wear Marine Armor painted silver-grey, for better camouflage in the open waters in contrast to the bright blues of conventional COG armor. A symbol of the Coalition of Ordered Governments Navy is etched on the breastplate while the two circular 'seals' are replaced with a more angular seal. Moreover, Marine armor boasts an ammunition belt and pockets which allow the Marines to hold more ammunition and military equipment than the standard Gear. Marine armor is more streamlined than normal armor, this is to complement the need for a Marine to swim in either emergencies or underwater operations. Due to their naval presence, Marine armor is equipped with a standard issue oxygen respirator in the helmet for underwater operations. Marines have a robust relationship with the Coalition of Ordered Governments Army.

    • The Vulcan is one of the largest man-portable weapons in the Coalition of Ordered Governments Army, requiring two people to use it to its fullest potential. One person acts as the weapon's operator, aiming and firing the weapon, whilst the other carries and operates the ammunition canister, keeping the weapon fed with fresh ammunition. The weapon could be operated by one person, but it lacks sustained fire capabilities like this, since the shooter needs to manually load more ammo into the breech after every barrage of ammunition.
    • The sheer fire rate of the Vulcan is such that it can tear even the toughest of foes apart in seconds, spraying down a hail of ammunition so thick that accuracy is virtually rendered an afterthought.
    • An excellent weapon for suppression and sweeping large areas, and it particularly shines when facing down large numbers of foes at once. However, it restricts cover and slows movement.
    • It has a short spin-up and spin down time before its firepower could be brought to bear.
    • The Vulcan doesn't overheat.

    Overview

    • Chairman of Coalition of Ordered Governments

    Background

    • During the Pendulum Wars he was completely determined to take the Hammer Of Dawn Technology from the Union Of Independent Republics, no matter the cost. His only view was that the UIR must not have this technology, and the COG would stop at nothing to prevent the UIR from having it because if the UIR had control of the technology, it would have meant the utter end of the Coalition Of Ordered Governments.

    Appearance

    • Facial Features: He is an elderly Caucasian man with balding, receded white hair, a wrinkled face, and a sharp, authoritative expression.
    • Attire: As the supreme leader of the Coalition of Ordered Governments (COG), he wears a pristine, decorated COG dress uniform adorned with medals and formal epaulets, projecting the image of a seasoned wartime statesman.

    Personality

    • More of a businessman than a politician.
    • Dalyell is also quite determined and steadfast, ready to do anything to preserve the nation of Tyrus and the COG and all of its ideals.
