Gears of War RPG: Emergence Day [REMAKE]

Coalition of Ordered Governments = The Coalition of Ordered Governments (COG), colloquially shortened into the Coalition, was 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. 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. Locust Horde = The Locust Horde, often called Grubs by Serans, were a race of genetically altered humans that established their civilization in the subterranean regions of Sera, known as the Hollow. The Locust originated from genetic experiments at the New Hope Research Facility. Doctor Niles Samson studied the children of Imulsion miners to create a cure for Rustlung. The children were mutated by the Imulsion and transgenic insertion of Hollow creature DNA, resulting in chimeras referred to as Sires. Before New Hope was shutdown, Samson and his research were relocated to a secret facility inside Mount Kadar. The work there led to the creation of the Locust by combining the embryonic stem cells of Myrrah, a child born with a genetic immunity to Imulsion, and Sire DNA. Myrrah's sympathy for her "children" caused her to lead the Locust, as their Queen, to slaughter the scientists, escape the facility, and move deeper into the caverns of Mount Kadar where they built the underground city of Nexus. In the following thirty years, the Locust grew their civilization and created a government and armed forces. The Kantus developed their religion based on the worship of Riftworms, known as the Trinity of Worms. During this time, the Locust and indigenous Hollow creatures became more exposed to Imulsion and developed Lambency, a parasitic infection that colonized its host and compelled them to infect all forms of life. This led to an epidemic and conflict in the Inner Hollow. Myrrah sought the aid of human scientist, Professor Adam Fenix, to resolve the Lambency epidemic. However, he found that all possible solutions would either fail or harm the Locust as well due to their ancestry through the use of Imulsion in their cells. With more Locust becoming infected, killing many more of their people and losing their land, Myrrah concluded that the only solution was to evacuate the Hollow, exterminate the human race, and claim the surface of Sera as their own in order to escape the Lambent. After the end of the Pendulum Wars, Myrrah commanded her people to emerge on the surface to exterminate the humans; waging a genocidal war... Emergence Day, otherwise known as E-Day, was a swift, full-scale, coordinated, and unprecedented planet-wide assault on the surface of Sera initiated by the subterranean race of the Locust Horde. Six weeks after the end of the Pendulum Wars, nearly every major city on the surface of Sera was attacked by the underground forces from the Hollow, using both bio-engineered weapons and stolen human technology. All breaches were along the ground line, known as emergence holes, in what was a campaign of rapid dominance in a textbook military invasion. There were massive casualties reported everywhere the Locust arrived. Over a quarter of the total human population was killed within the first twenty-six hours, and millions reported missing. The attacks signaled the beginning of the Locust War. The goal of the Locust Horde was to exterminate the human race, allowing them to colonize the surface in order to escape the Lambent, an Imulsion-based infection that was spreading in the Hollow. In the immediate aftermath of the attacks, the COG responded by countering the Locust invasion with its entire military arsenal. The Locust Horde was able to deploy huge numbers of their forces into major cities on the surface at once. They were able to defeat all organized human resistance for over a year and had used the spoils of war to gather all available military and civilian technological equipment, and resources, to use against the COG and the few UIR nations that remained after the Pendulum Wars. The Locust Horde's onslaught and assault continued for a year until the Hammer of Dawn Strikes, in which the Hammer of Dawn technology was deployed on Locust-infested areas under the newly elected Chairman Richard Prescott. INFO Locust Horde = The origins of the Locust Horde can be traced back during the mid-Pendulum Wars. The health effects of Imulsion arose in the form of a fatal respiratory disease called Rustlung. The COG Department of Health opened the New Hope Research Facility under the Monroe Administration to study the children of Imulsion-poisoned miners to find treatment, under the supervision of Director Niles Samson. One of the children, Myrrah, was found to be genetically immune to Imulsion and benefited from exposure, such as a highly-responsive immune system and decelerated aging. Samson attempted to replicate her positive response in the other children by conducting transgenic experiments. The children were mutated with the DNA of indigenous creatures from the Hollow, believing they were immune to Imulsion. This transformed the children into aggressive and feral chimeras called Sires. Due to the unethical experimentation and attacks by the Sires, the staff at New Hope began leaking details to the public. Chairman Monroe discovered the workings at New Hope and ordered it shut down, with all involved to be indicted. Unknown to Monroe, a fringe political syndicate within his administration believed Samson's work could cure Rustlung and also create an army of enhanced soldiers to aid the COG in ending the Pendulum Wars. This group offered Samson a facility hidden in the underground caves of Mount Kadar where he could continue his research. The scientists and subjects were relocated as well. At the Mount Kadar lab, Myrrah's embryonic stem cells were combined with Sire DNA to create the first hybrid of the Locust. It was discovered that a Hivemind had been established, with Myrrah able to control them. Sometime later, Myrrah conceived a human daughter named Reyna with geneticist Dr. Torres. Torres became concerned that Reyna would be experimented on and escaped the facility with his daughter. Samson was unable to recapture Reyna and lied to Myrrah that she had been killed during the escape. Grief-stricken, Myrrah assumed her place as Queen of the Locust Horde. She compelled the Locust to rebel and slaughter the scientists. Queen Myrrah and the Locust escaped the facility and went deeper into the caverns of Mount Kadar, after gaining their independence, to build their own civilization. During the remainder of the Pendulum Wars, the Locust Horde built their capital, Nexus. They began kidnapping humans from the surface to repopulate their people. Genetic experimentation was used by the Locust to enhance the creatures of the Hollow to use as transportation, equipment, and weapons. By 7 B.E., an epidemic began in the Inner Hollow. Locust began getting infected with Lambency, a parasitic disease that possessed and mutated its host to infect and kill all living, non-affected organisms. Motives = Queen Myrrah's declaration of a genocidal war against the humans of Sera was to escape the Hollow from the Lambent epidemic and colonize the surface. Fueling the motives to destroy humanity came from Myrrah's hatred of humans for imprisoning, experimenting, and torturing the Locust; forcing them underground, and for the supposed murder of her infant daughter. She feared that humans would not accept the Locust and attempt to control or kill them if they revealed themselves for mutual salvation in resolving the Lambent epidemic. Her motives were also caused by humanity's failure to assist the Locust, as Myrrah employed Professor Adam Fenix to cure the Lambency, but was unable to produce one. Planning = The attacks were conceived by Queen Myrrah, who first presented it to Professor Adam Fenix in 5 B.E. At that time, Myrrah did not want to attack the humans due to sending her army into another war and, despite her hatred, the little sympathy she had for humans. However, she saw it as necessary in order to escape the Lambent, and not believing the humans would help in their aid, nor ever accept them. In 0 B.E., the Lambent War reached a crucial stage in which Vold RAAM had the same desires as Queen Myrrah to invade the surface. Arranging a coup against Uzil Sraak, Vold RAAM expressed his belief in the futility of the Lambent War and the future they could have on the surface. Queen Myrrah promoted Vold RAAM to Uzil and revealed that she too had been planning the attack on the humans. Queen Myrrah and Uzil RAAM together began to strategize their emergence. Their plan involved to strike against all major cities on Sera, especially capital cities and those with substantial military or industrial involvement. In order to secure occupation of the city, Seeders were used to ink the skies with Nemacysts to create Kryllstorms - allowing the Kryll to kill all humans in a city during the daylight. After eradicating all military and civilian presence, the Locust would be able to occupy a city and strip it for resources and weapons. Prior intelligence = In 9 B.E., biologist Doctor Elain Fenix was studying the mutations of Rock Shrews in the Inner Hollow when she discovered the Locust Horde. In her journal, she studied them and planned to make an announcement on their existence. However, Doctor Fenix was found by the Locust Horde and executed. In 5 B.E., Professor Adam Fenix, Doctor Fenix's husband, followed the tracks of his late-wife. Professor Fenix met with Queen Myrrah, who revealed that her people were being killed or infected by the Lambent. Queen Myrrah expressed her plans to invade and colonize the surface in order to evade the Lambent. Professor Fenix promised to help aid in her research to cure Lambency to keep the Locust underground and from committing genocide. However, Professor Fenix was called on by the Coalition of Ordered Governments to prepare the Hammer of Dawn, an orbital laser beam weapon, in order to end the Pendulum Wars against the Union of Independent Republics. Professor Fenix also discovered that nearly all biological cures would fail against the Lambent mutagen, and other physical measures that would kill the Lambent would also harm the Locust Horde. Professor Fenix was successful in completing the Hammer of Dawn and was used to end the war against the UIR. A few UIR holdouts were still continuing the fight, but most of Sera was celebrating the end of the war. However, Queen Myrrah lost faith in Professor Fenix and revisited her plans to launch her army onto the surface. Vold RAAM, knowing the futility of fighting the Lambent, wanted to convince Myrrah that they should instead escape to the surface and visited it to see what it held for them. During his daily visits, he saw humans and brought Skorge along with him during one of these visits, where they saw humans fighting each other for resources and territory, which disgusted RAAM as this was a flaw that the Locust did not have. Through an ingenious plot, RAAM convinced Myrrah to invade the surface, who had likewise thought the same due to Adam's failures. The Emergence = "Mayday! Mayday! Something just came out of the ground! Repeat, they just came out of the ground!" —A soldier during the Emergence Day attacks. Six weeks after the signing of the peace treaty between the COG and the UIR, the Locust Horde emerged and launched an attack on all major cities on the surface in a surprise, coordinated, full-scale, all-out assault upon the human race. There was no discrimination between race, gender, or age as men, women, and children were slaughtered by the Locust. The first city attacked was Jannermont, Tyrus, which held a large army base within the city. The battle was personally led by Uzil RAAM and Kantus Skorge of the Locust Horde. After the eradication of the Jannermont Base, the Locust forces moved into the city and began slaughtering civilians. Among other major cities attacked in Tyrus was the capital city of Ephyra. However, a natural bedrock of granite, the Jacinto Plateau, spared many cities in Tyrus from the scourge of the Locust Horde, namely Jacinto City. While Ephyra was attacked due to natural fissures in the bedrock as well as subway and sewage tunnels offering access to the city, the COG managed to fill access points with gas and cement, and were successful in blocking the Locust out of Ephyra, as well as other cities on the plateau. Other locations on Sera were spared due to natural defenses as well. Islands such as the South Islands, the Lesser Islands chain including Vectes and Azura were spared due to abyssal trenches and difficulty digging under the oceans. As for the mainland, all major cities outside of the Jacinto Plateau were attacked and destroyed by the Locust Horde. The Republic of Gorasnaya, the only UIR country to not surrender, fell on Emergence Day to Zamil Karn with the aid of the Shibboleth. Other countries once belonging to the UIR, including Pelles, Ostri, and Vasgar fell to the Locust Horde. Casualities from E-Day = "I'm still trying to confirm... It seems like reports saying that untold masses of men, women, and children have been butchered since last night's emergence... are true..." —A female news anchor revealing the death toll of Emergence Day. Shortly after Emergence Day, census across Sera revealed that billions, specifically 25% of the entire human race, was killed in the initial onslaught of the Locust Horde. Millions more were declared missing; with people either lost in the chaos, their corpses not found, or many being captured by the Locust Horde. The rumors of the missing since E-Day were ranged from the Locust eating humans to the Locust taking prisoners. In reality, the Locust did capture millions of humans. Many of the captured were used by Locust scientist, Ukkon, to replenish their numbers by transforming humans into Locust Drones. Another major use was enslaving humans into labor camps. Humans were also used to feed the Locust creatures, such as the Bloodmounts. Due to the Locust's hatred and sadism, the enslaved humans were put through various methods torture known as processing - which resulted in either lobotomy or death. Public reaction = "And the Locust were set forth upon the world. And they want to rid the world of all the sinners. And only the pure shall survive the purge. Everyone else, beware." —A preacher professing his belief of the Locust's purpose. Due to both overload in communications and the abandonment or death of those in command, the Global Communications Network crashed,as well as the COG Civil Protection Service. Phone lines also went down, almost completely ceasing civilian communication for weeks. With such high percentages of casualties, hospitals were quickly overwhelmed and forced to turn away more incoming wounded. In Tyrus and other countries, transportation networks were crippled with railways shuttered and all civilian air traffic grounded. Official politicians and reporters told the public to remain indoors and remain calm, believing that the authorities and the military had the situation under control. However, many of the humans believed this to be an apocalypse event, signaling the end of the world. Religious groups claimed that the Locust were sent from Hell to rid the world of all the sinners, and that only the "pure" would survive the "purge." While on the home-front, Chairman Tomas Dalyell ordered the Cougars in Hanover city to continue with the scheduled Thrashball game for a morale boost since Hanover was not attacked. COG mobilization = "Citizens, we don’t know what these creatures are, other than the fact that they’re not human. We don’t know where they come from. We don’t know what they want. But they’re tunneling under our cities and emerging to slaughter our people. Our combined forces throughout Sera have been mobilized to with them. I ask you all to remain calm, as you have done through so many years of war. Stay in your homes unless ordered to evacuate, and listen for emergency information on all broadcast stations. That, my fellow citizens, is all I can tell you until the situation becomes clearer." —Chairman Tomas Dalyell's speech to the people of Sera. "Please stay calm and stay in your homes. The military has things under control." —News reporter alerting the public to stay indoors. After Chairman Tomas Dalyell's speech, the entire COG military mobilized all of their forces, resources and other assets and sent them to the cities to battle the Locust. The 25th Sherrith Cavalry was called back from leave along with many other units. The COG was then able to secure most of Tyrus. However, no other military force across Sera had any situation under control; the Locust dominated the human forces and annihilated everything in their path. As Emergence Day continued to unfold, the Locust began to mercilessly hunt down and butcher civilians in their homes, businesses, and on the streets. The Locust refused to distinguish between men, women and children, and relentlessly pursued everyone they found with an unquenchable blood thirst. With the general public being unarmed and with most of the COG armed forces on leave after the Pendulum Wars, the civilians of Sera were almost helpless to defend themselves. In just twenty-six hours, a quarter of the human population was killed, with many cities and towns completely annihilated. Cultural influence = "The lucky ones died on E-Day." —The saying of a post E-Day Sera. Because of the horrors experienced in the aftermath of Emergence Day and the years following, the survivors believed those who were killed on E-Day were fortunate enough to not witness what Sera had become. The saying among the survivors of E-Day on Sera was known as: "The lucky ones died on E-Day." Emergence Day was such a significant event in the history of mankind that the age old calendar system was abolished in favor of a year marking system that involved counting the years before and after E-Day, i.e. B.E. = Before Emergence / A.E. = After Emergence. The year of Emergence was designated as the year 0, with events that year marked as 0 B.E., before Emergence, and 0 A.E., after Emergence. Government policies = Less than a month after E-Day, the Minister for Social Welfare, Natalya Vreland, began to question how the COG was going to be able to deal with the refugees from destroyed cities, who were already putting a strain on resources. A year after E-Day, Chairman Dalyell passed away from a heart attack and Richard Prescott was elected into office. He attempted to unite humanity for a counter-strike against the Locust Horde, but was unable to gain support from the COG member states,[20] forcing him to undertake the single greatest imminent loss of life during the war. Prescott instated the Fortification Act, and gave Serans three days to retreat to Ephyra before he fired the Hammer of Dawn. At great cost to human life and infrastructure, the Locust were driven back by orbital weaponry and chemical warfare, effectively denying assets to the Locust Horde. However, they were not defeated. Over the next decade, the Locust would continue their persistent onslaught against humanity - finally breaching Jacinto Plateau at the East Barricade Academy ten years after Emergence Day, and putting Jacinto under siege five years after that. Six weeks after the Pendulum Wars. During the first hours of E-day
