Joe Shmoe

Age

35

Occupation

OMAN Officer

Calm and strict, keeping a constant facade of unwavering seriousness in the field during work; some might say it's paranoia, but for Joe it's an acquired habit that he's picked up overtime that's kept him alive for this long. Off-duty, however, he's a kind-hearted man who cares for the community around him and those he cherishes dearly. Enjoying simple hobbies, drinks, and joking with those he holds close to his heart. Joe wears one of the default Politsiya Uniforms, consisting of a beret with a light golden pin on the front, a blue camo jacket with a red nameplate with white text on the right side of the chest, and regular grayish blue pants tucked into dark gray boots. A stubble beard is present on his face as well. Joe Shmoe comes from a family of Amerikan immigrants that moved into the Noobic Union in the 1930s to escape the great Economic Crash and find a better life. Both of his grandparents would work in the agricultural sector planting and harvesting wheat, while their son George would continue his education and graduating after, becoming an office worker and falling in love with his colleague by the name of Liza,who he would wed by the near end of 1964. This marriage would bring forth Joe’s birth, the son of an Amerikan and a Noobian. His distinct appearance set him apart from the rest of the children around his school, making him an easy target of discrimination and bullying. As he grew he learned Nubbia's language, culture, history, and its ideologies, growing up as a Noobian while spending his free time with his father and grandparents learning of his roots and what it was like back in Amerika.

In high school his treatment worsened over his ethnic descent, even as far as nearly getting beaten up nearby in an alleyway when he was walking home from school, but during that violent altercation, he would be rescued by Militsiya officer Orik Tellov, who so happened to be there coincidentally during his regular patrols. Orik would scare off the delinquents, before treating his bruises and escorting him back home safely. A move that surprised Joe, having a person of authority finally taking action to help him. This entire event would be pivotal to Joe, as it sparked his motivation to become a Militsiya officer, to help and save people in need just like how Orik had saved him. After graduating, he would soon apply to become an officer, attending academy and completing his training by 1985.

His work as a Militsiya officer during his early 20s were tough, a lot of responds to various sorts of calls regarding murders, robberies, and the most prominent being gang related activity, with the most notorious criminal faction being the Nubizkyl Bratva, with their backstreet operation in the city, along with other small but similarly dangerous group of criminals. Joe would face the hardships of being a man of justice, having to deal with the depravity daily and at some point even taking a life for the first time ever in a gun smuggling bust.

Yet, he refused to yield to the evil within, continuing everyday to protect the innocents like he promised, choosing to endure the pain for the sake of others in hopes of a better secure tomorrow. Besides, not all was gloomy, as he would be acquainted with many people during his journeys, as well as finally getting to properly know Orik Tellov, becoming good friends.

Fond of Orik’s unwavering sense of justice, Joe respected him and held him to the standard of what Militsiya officers should be, and of what type of man he needed to become. Keeping in contact well after Orik retired.

When the Third International War kicked off, Joe in his 30s, would be drafted into the Noobic Armed Forces, finding himself and colleagues in the same detachment unit, some from work, some simply just neighbors.

Shipped off with basic training in a short time, thrown into the fray in a desperate attempt to fight off against the marching NETO Forces within their homeland. Their shortened military training and improper organization would be their undoing, resulting in many casualties that had lost their lives in vain when the war was lost. Joe would be among the few survivors of his detachment unit, thankfully his prior experience in handling firearms and gunfights aided his survival, and brought him home when the war ended, albeit he returned alone and deeply troubled from the whole ordeal.

Returning home wasn’t easy. Having lost the war, he was looked down upon for failing his people, and it didn’t help that he resembled the same invaders that tore through their homes. Getting back in uniform was a grueling task, crime rates had spiked through the roof, the economy in ruins, and mass financial struggles ensued. Every arrest he made took a piece of his soul as more and more of the “criminals” he was putting away were just the very civilians he failed, now resorting to criminality just to make ends meet.

With his own financial situation worsening, Joe was at the lowest when an opportunity came forth. Having served in the war and survived, he had garnered the attention of his superior, offering him a promotion to a OMAN Officer.

Despite the risks and high mortality rate in the field, the salary was too good to ignore. He accepted the offer, knowing his living situation would be better, as well as ensuring a future for his family if worse was to happen.

Just four months after returning, Joe Shmoe would don a new uniform to serve in a new war, this time determined to win, this time determined to secure a better tomorrow for the people he promised to serve and protect. Putting his life on the line yet again for his home.

Moe's Personality:

Age

29

Occupation

Forester

Moe is incredibly average, inside and out. A simpleton of a man. Ordinary, normal, unassuming, unexceptional, and every other synonym for the word average. There truly is nothing of worth that makes people root for poor Moe. Although, he doesn’t express his emotions easily, which comes with its advantages of him being hard to read by others. At least, he has that going on. Moe has short black “military cut” hair and a thin stubble. He wears a dark green blob camouflage forestry service uniform, closed, with a white undershirt, differently from other foresters, he wears a red nametag. On his head, Moe wears a dark green camouflage cap, with the text “NLC”, the acronym for the National Forestry Service. Moe was born in 1970 to parents Inessa and Jake Schmoe in St. Ivanoburg. His father owned a reputable pharmacy while his mother worked as a secretary for a legal firm. Despite the wonderful accomplishments his parents made, young Moe wasn’t exactly the same. He didn’t do anything noteworthy or stellar, much to the chagrin of Jake. All throughout his elementary years, Jake watched over him like Moe was a test subject, waiting for him to do something grand, something magical. Alas, nothing at all.

This continued on in high school, and with Jake feeling frustrated, began to berate his Moe, saying his cousin Joe was doing much better at school than he did. He thought that it would somehow push Moe to do better, but all that did was shatter his self-esteem. He even joined countless clubs and extracurriculars, but all he was ever good at was failing at them spectacularly. Each failure led to constant comparisons from his father:

“I heard from your uncle that Joe can already speak Nussian. We’ve been having lessons back-to-back, yet you still can't make anything stick in that head of yours.”

“Why can’t you be more like Joe, who already knew who his grandfather was? You never even bother to learn your heritage.”

It got worse when Moe graduated from high school and entered technical school instead of some big-shot university like his father had wanted.

“Why did you choose to go to technical school instead of taking something like Business or Law? Your cousin Joe went to a police academy.”

Moe so badly wanted to leave and start fresh in a new house, but after Inessa suffered a stroke two months prior, he had to stay and take care of her. After graduating two years later, not wanting to be overshadowed yet again, he decided to join a police academy as well, but since being an officer was more physically demanding than Moe had expected, he failed the exam and hadn’t gotten in.

Frustrated, Moe settled for becoming a forester instead. Even then, it didn’t impress his father the slightest bit, saying it’s just a downgrade of being an actual police officer. He was determined to prove his father wrong. The job was certainly easier, and it allowed him to relax. His way of talking is strange, to say the least, leading him to not feel connected with his fellow colleagues. He did get along with Tamerlan Galkin due to their similar personalities.

Moe wasn’t sure if he’s ever going to be as “exceptional” as his cousin, or any other Goddamn relative he has, and that’s what scares him the most. Being overshadowed by someone he hadn’t even met before is both frustrating and terrifying. He can only hope he finds his breakthrough real soon.

Jake changed his surname to Schmoe before meeting Inessa due to him wanting to have a more approachable name to customers. Schmoe is also an old surname inherited from Jake’s great-great-grandfather that he decided to reuse. Moe is trilingual, learning Anglish, Nussian finally after some practice, and strangely Jyushonese. He is a perfectionist, and he's not even good at being that.

Orik's Personality:

Orik is a soft and kind man with a gentle nature, often showing patience and care in daily life. A devoted husband and grandfather, he values family above all. Yet, when serious matters arise, his old Politsiya habits return. Sharp, disciplined, and protective, reminding others of his past strength.Orik has messy gray hair brushed to the side with strands sticking out. wrinkles mark his face, he wears his old Politsiya coat over a plain gray sweater, blue trousers like the ones from his service days, and simple grey socks & shoes that show years of wear.Orik Tellov served as a city politsiya officer for much of his life, finally retiring at the age of 50 on January 25th, 1994. His retirement wasn't forced or bitter he simply decided it was the right time to step away. After leaving the force, he and his wife Agata began running a small laundromat, keeping to themselves and living quietly. He doesn't speak much, but anyone who visits the shop is met with a warm, genuine smile.

In his 30s, Orik earned a reputation for bending the rules to fight gangs. He wasn't a clean officer, but he believed that cutting corners and acting outside the law was sometimes necessary to deal with real threats. The results were there, even if they didn't always look good on paper. Tragedy followed him outside of work too. His daughter, Elena Tellova, died of terminal cancer. Not long after, her husband Dimitri Korolev took a job as a health and safety inspector for factories in another city. Dimitri wanted to take his son Ivan with him, but Orik refused. He knew Dimitri couldn't handle being a single parent while working. Instead, Orik and Agata raised Ivan themselves, keeping the boy at home while Dimitri supported them with money and letters. Over time, the money slowed to a trickle, replaced by long emails to Ivan about his father's work and struggles.

In his 40s, Orik rose through the ranks to become a senior supervising staff member and a colonel of the Militsiya, serving in that position for 7 years. It was during this period that he responded to a mass shooting on a city street, an incident that sharpened his reflexes to a dangerous degree. Since then, he's been quick to react sometimes too quick. Once, when Ivan sneaked in through the back door to surprise him, Orik nearly drew his revolver on his own grandson. That moment haunted him deeply. At his retirement party, he turned in his service revolver for good. Yet for his 52nd birthday, Agata and Ivan gifted him a polished ivory grip RR-Snubby revolver, which he still carries. Not out of fear, but out of habit.

Orik believes in owing no one. He doesn’t run from danger, even when it would be easier. One evening, he offered shelter to a stranded tourist, Paul Kollier, who had nothing but two changes of clothes and a visa. Orik couldn't understand much of Paul's language, but he recognized someone in trouble. Without fuss, he gave him a small job at the laundromat and even taught him a little Nubbian, not as charity, but as a way to give stability to a young man who needed it. Beyond that, Orik also reached out to the militsiya, using his status as a former colonel and the handful of high-ranking connections he still had. He pushed them to investigate the break-in at Paul's apartment and to help fix his torn documents. Orik never bragged about his influence to him, helping Paul wasn't about favors or pulling rank, it was simply the right thing to do. • Agata Kovorchukova - Acquaintance • Agata Tellova - Wife • Dimitri Korolev - Son-In-Law • Elena Tellova (†) - Daughter • Fyodor Kovalevsky - Close Friend • Ivan Korolev - Grandson • Karolina Zvereva - Fellow Customer • Liv Voronova - Adversary • Lyuda Makarova - Acquaintance • Mikhail Fokins - Acquaintance • Paul Kollier - Close Friend/Employee • Nestor Borisov - Friend • Valeria Tverskaya - Fellow Customer • Yevheniy Norikov - Fellow Customer

The Politsiya Полиция are the Nubbish police. Easily recognized by their iconic blue uniforms and police crests on their headwear, they bring law and order to the people in the Noobian Federation. After the collapse of the Noobic Union however, greed and corruption swept through the higher ranks which made the people question the authority and safety of the very same people that should protect them. They are armed with a standard issue IZVEKH-412 revolver or a standard issue Kamatov pistol and have an arsenal comprising of different submachine guns, rifles, shotguns up to even APCs if the situation calls for it.

Politsiya in plain blue coats & pants with red stripes are Militsiya, the regular beat cops of the field. They patrol traffic and make up the majority of the force.

Those in blue camo uniforms are OMAN, the Federation's equivalent to Riot Police, and as such are a tier higher than the Militsiya. Better trained in arms and strategies, they get called in when bullets flying is a very high possibility.

Age

68

Occupation

President of the Noobic Federation

Fyodor is characterized as intelligent, calculating, and emotionally guarded, shaped by past trauma. He demonstrates long-term planning skills and political pragmatism. Although he's outwardly composed and rational, he exhibits authoritarian instincts, suppresses dissent heavily, and shows limited tolerance for weakness. Fyodor has naturally greying, dyed warm brown, hair that he keeps in a slicked back. He wears a black suit with a white, long-sleeved dress shirt underneath. He also wears matching pants, white socks and black shoes. He finishes of the look with a red tie, a red star on his lapel, and a white pin on the left side of his chest. In 1932, a boy was born in Noscow to a destitute family. As Fyodor Yelistratov grew, he became remarkably bright for his age. He had both knowledge and cunning, stealing food to nourish his family, and books to nourish his mind. By nine, he had the reading level of a teenager. While all the other boys his age seemed to have a future in the factories, Fyodor wished to be a professor.

In 1941, Fyodor's entire world turned upside down. The Hermans betrayed the Noobic Union, and thousands of troops and tanks spilled across the border. His father joined the army, and his mother went to work at an arms plant. It was not long after when news came home of his father's death. 10-year-old Fyodor felt trapped, wishing that he could join the war to avenge his father and defend his homeland. All he could do was comfort his grieving mother.

One night, Fyodor was returning home with food when he saw shells tear apart his apartment. He dropped his loot, sprinting toward the rubble while praying that his mother was still alive. The only trace of her was a severed finger wearing her wedding ring.

The newly orphaned Fyodor had little time to grieve his parents, as he had to flee the Herman army advancing into Noscow. While he was scavenging for food one day, he was found and "adopted" by a group of Red Army soldiers. While he couldn't shoot, the soldiers found another use for him. They tied a rope around him and lowered him onto passing Panzers so he could strap explosives to them. He did this every day for months on end, until the battered Herman army retreated from the city. Every day, he saw someone be torn apart by a grenade or riddled with machine gun fire. No matter how much time passes, these memories are still fresh.

After the war, Fyodor was sent to an over-capacity orphanage. He developed a cruel streak, and used his superior intellect to torment his peers. He had his own pack of thugs, and would direct them to assault other children or forcefully take their belongings. Fyodor targeted the other boys in his room, as they were the ones who knew about him waking up screaming from especially vivid nightmares.

After Fyodor became of age, he was sent to the prestigious Noscow State University. He studied economics, and always had perfect marks. He joined his school football team as their goalkeeper, but never exceeded mediocrity at the sport. This frustrated him, and he used his studies as an outlet. After he graduated at the top of his class, Fyodor was put to work in the Finance Ministry. Rather than a professor as he dreamed of in his youth, he became a bureaucrat.

Year by year, decade by decade, Yelistratov clawed his way up the ranks. Despite being a member of the Kommunist party, he held a disdain for collectivist ideology. He believed that it held the Union back from its full economic potential. He also built rapport with the Union's criminal underground, helping them launder their money. This "investment" paid off, as the Bratva bribed Yelistratov into the position of Minister of Finance in 1991.

As Minister of Finance, Yelistratov would begin a hidden dismantling of the Kommunist economy. He introduced popular market reforms, and spearheaded several successful anti-poverty campaigns. When war broke out, he kept the economy relatively stable even as NETO was winning on the frontlines. By the war's end, Premier Misha Golovachev was vastly unpopular, while the people trusted Yelistratov.

In 1996, Yelistratov ascended to Premiership of the Noobic Union after Golovachev's assassination. Now one of the most powerful men in the world, Yelistratov could go unopposed with his plans. He ordered democratic elections, and allowed the various SSRs of the Union to vote for independence. Despite a reformist appearance, Yelistratov was still in the good graces of the Bratva, who became more powerful than ever under his Premiership. In addition, his market reforms helped enrich a new oligarch class. Yet, this was all hidden beneath the surface, unbeknownst to the general public.

In 1997, Yelistratov left the Kommunists and declared that he would run under the National Kapitalist Party in the 1999 election. Shortly before that, a pair of disasters happened in the Federation. First, a crazed Kommunist gunman massacred a party. Then, a violent leftist mob ransacked Nomsk in response to the Union's dissolution. On television, the electorate first saw victims of a Kommunist psychopath being carried out by paramedics, and then Kommunists burning down stores and assaulting police officers. The election was a landslide victory for the Kapitalists.

It didn't take long for Yelistratov's corruption to rise to the surface. He used the FSR to ensure the election of a Noobic minority-rule party in the neighboring Kaukasian Federation, which would be friendly to Nussian oil companies run by Yelistratov's cronies. After the unfair election caused the Federation to collapse into civil war, Yelistratov authorized a brutal air campaign in support of government forces. When violence bled across the border and Kaucasian-based terrorists attacked the Nussian Federation, Yelistratov ordered troops deployed for a "police operation." Any dissent against the war was muzzled heavily through state violence.

Then came the trial of Gennady Tiykoon, a Duma member who was revealed to be aiding several criminal syndicates in exchange for bribes. Yelistratov promised justice, only to let Tiykoon free after a show trial. His death in the Monobank massacre and revelation to the public only compounded further outrage.

Once the most beloved man in the Federation, President Fyodor Yelistratov has become the most despised. The people call for his head on a spike. The NKP schemes against him, believing that his continued leadership would be electoral suicide for the party. The army is disturbingly quiet. His presidency only hangs on by a thread.

The MNB is a government anti-terroristic service Following the collapse of the Noobic Union in 1996, the newly formed Nussian Federation faced a period of political instability, economic hardship, and rising organized crime. In response to growing security concerns, Ministerstvo Natsionalnoy Bezopasnosti Министерство Национальной Безопасности (MNB) was established as the primary domestic intelligence and counterterrorism agency of the Federation. It inherited many responsibilities from the former Union security structures. The MNB is responsible for counterintelligence, counterterrorism operations, protection of constitutional order, and the investigation of threats to national security. Over the years, the agency expanded its role, becoming one of the most influential security institutions within the Federation. Its personnel are recruited from military, law enforcement, and intelligence backgrounds, with extensive training focused on intelligence gathering, surveillance, and special operations. During the turbulent years that followed the Third International War, the MNB played a major role in combating extremist organizations, separatist movements, organized crime networks, and terrorist groups operating throughout the country. The agency became known for its aggressive approach toward internal security threats and its extensive intelligence network. Among its specialized units are rapid response and counterterrorism teams trained to resolve hostage situations, conduct high-risk raids, and neutralize armed militants. These units are frequently deployed during major security incidents where civilian lives are at risk. One of them, for example, was the 2002 Noskow Exchange Standoff, when a group of armed terrorists broke into the Noskow Stock Exchange and took hostages, threatening to blow up the building. After several hours of negotiations and a coordinated assault by MNB forces, the perpetrators were either killed or arrested. Perhaps the most controversial operation ever attributed to the MNB was the alleged "Operation 951" conducted during the early 2000s. At the time, the "Millennium of the People" movement had emerged as one of the largest opposition movements in Nussia, organizing protests against President Yelistratov's administration, government corruption, and what many supporters described as growing foreign influence over national affairs. The movement's youth wing grew particularly influential under the leadership of four young activists who later became known collectively as the "Noskow Four." According to documents released years later, President Yelistratov considered the group a potential threat to political stability. Direct arrests were reportedly ruled out due to concerns that the activists would become political martyrs and further strengthen the movement. Instead, MNB Special Operations allegedly developed a covert plan designated "Operation 951." Agents reportedly conducted weeks of surveillance on the activists, documenting their routines and movements. Once preparations were complete, a five-man team disguised as civilians allegedly ambushed the group while they were meeting together in Noskow, killing all four activists. The assassinations coincided with a nationwide crackdown on organized crime. Authorities announced that the murders had been committed by a local criminal gang and later claimed to have recovered the weapons used in the attack from a gang-controlled safehouse. State media further alleged that the activists had become involved with drugs and criminal elements shortly before their deaths. Following the rise of former MNB Director Aleksandr Semyonov to the presidency, a limited and highly selective declassification of state security archives took place. Rather than full transparency, the released materials were carefully curated and focused on cases that portrayed the MNB in a favorable light, particularly operations involving corruption within Yelistratov’s inner circle and unauthorized actions taken against him by rival factions. The documents relating to "Operation 951" were never included in the declassified archive and remain officially classified. Internal records suggest that Semyonov maintained strict control over the disclosure process, ensuring that files implicating direct state security involvement in politically motivated assassinations were excluded from public release. As a result, the public narrative shifted only partially: while certain abuses of power by elements of the Yelistratov administration became acknowledged, the most controversial covert operations attributed to the MNB continued to be officially denied or left unaddressed.

STRELA (Special Tactical Response Units for Local Analysis) serves as the counterpart to Russia's SOBR, or Special Rapid Response Unit, fulfilling a similar role as a specialized police tactical unit for dealing with heavily armed criminals, hostage situations, and other high-risk incidents. Coming out of the Third International War, Nubizkyl Police Chief Zavid Kombatov witnessed an alarming rise in criminal activity all across Nussia. There was practically no work, inflation was high, and, aside from a community dedicated to selling illegal weapons and services in the black market, the majority of Nussian youth were increasingly descending into various criminal groups across Nussia. They did not want to live in poverty, but their actions could not be justified by any means: drug dealing, contract killings, and taking on debts to pay for college or other personal expenses. Zavid saw it all and tried to appeal to the government for funding to create a special squad specialized in rapid response in case situations escalated. Every single one of his requests was denied on the grounds that such a unit was unnecessary. The government believed that the regular police and OMAN would be enough to deal with criminals. On May 29, 1998, the criminal groups Bratva and Nubagami were supposed to hold a meeting in the outskirts of Nubizkyl. The police never received any details about the deal, but based on their criminal expertise, investigators were able to reconstruct the following picture of what happened. An unknown party fired several precise shots toward one of the gangs. Things escalated almost immediately, and a massive shootout broke out. The police units were not able to arrive in time to stop it, and even if they had, there was little they could have done. The department's budget could barely afford shotguns and cheap equipment, which offered almost no protection against the high-caliber rounds fired from assault rifles. Zavid was humiliated by the incident. Right here, in his own city, two gangs had turned a criminal meeting into a massive firefight that could have potentially endangered civilians and fellow police officers, while authorities were effectively powerless to stop it. Days following the incident, spontaneous protests erupted in Nubizkyl in response to the negligence of the police department. If criminals were allowed to operate with this much freedom, then perhaps they were already sitting at the very top of the government. Taking advantage of the momentum, Zavid submitted yet another petition to the Nussian Duma, calling for funding to be allocated to major cities for the creation of rapid-response units. These units would be better equipped than ordinary police officers and capable of confronting the numerous heavily armed criminal organizations operating throughout the country. This time, Zavid's proposal was approved. Funding was allocated for the creation of a special unit known as STRELA, also known as Special Tactical Response Units for Local AnalysisСпециальные тактические подразделения реагирования для локального анализа. Zavid organized a three-stage selection process for the new special unit:

• The first stage was a psychological evaluation designed to assess the candidate's stress resistance, aggression, impulsiveness, and decision-making ability.
• The second stage was a killing-house exercise designed to evaluate the candidate's shooting skills, reaction speed, target identification, and ability to operate in confined spaces.
• The third stage was a hostage-rescue simulation designed to test the candidate's teamwork, decision-making under pressure, and ability to use weapons effectively in a complex and unpredictable environment. The trials proved extremely difficult for most ordinary police officers. Nevertheless, several members of the Nubizkyl Police Department successfully passed all three stages. Slowly, the squad had grown, with trusted officers becoming STRELA operatives, forming the Nubizkyl STRELA, codenamed "DAMOCLES". The initial STRELA "DAMOCLES" squad consisted of the following members: Vadim Korolev as its leader, Said Rasul as his second-in-command, Alan Tuaev and Ilya Barkov as members of the assault team, Petr Efanov and Artur Tolstoyanovsky as members of the entry team. Sometime between June and July, STRELA operator Petr Efanov stepped on a shotgun-shell booby trap during one of the unit's operations. The explosion left him heavily injured. Although Efanov was expected to make a physical recovery, his behavior became increasingly erratic following the incident. As a result, he was eventually dismissed from STRELA and replaced by officer Emil Gasanbek. STRELA's first deployment came during a shootout on Rodinskaya Street on August 2, 1998, where a group of armed robbers had broken into an abandoned warehouse. Following an internal confrontation between the criminals, a firefight broke out among them. Two STRELA operatives, Artur and Emil, sustained minor injuries. Two suspects were killed, while another two were successfully arrested. Unfortunately, law enforcement was unable to apprehend the remaining two suspects, who disappeared following the incident. On December 3, 1998, the Nubizkyl Police Department received a call from the HighRise Communications Office from 23-year-old receptionist Natalia Petrava about an armed individual who had entered the building and opened fire on the workers. Technically, the situation should have been handled by the STRELA squad, but being the country’s first concerning mass shooting, the police officers who arrived at the scene disobeyed orders to wait outside until STRELA arrived. After hearing more gunshots coming from inside the building, they decided to enter and confront the perpetrator themselves. STRELA arrived at the building at almost exactly the same time as the police engaged the shooter. The perpetrator was shot and killed by the responding officers. On August 21, 1999, the Nubizkyl Police Department received another call concerning a mass shooting at Serebryakov Highrise Residences and Offices. An armed individual had entered a private party and opened fire on the guests. This time, neither the regular police nor the STRELA squad managed to arrive in time. A bystander who was attending the event managed to get ahold of the suspect and pushed both himself and the shooter through a window. Their deaths were among the 12 that occurred on that tragic day. On January 24, 2000, STRELA was dispatched to respond to a mass shooting at a bank in downtown Nubizkyl. Upon arrival, the unit secured the surrounding area and divided it into two groups. Vadim led the assault team, consisting of Alan and Ilya, while Said commanded the remaining operatives responsible for maintaining the perimeter and coordinating with regular police units. Vadim's team made contact with the perpetrator inside the building. The suspect opened fire on the operatives, prompting them to return fire. Vadim ultimately shot and killed the perpetrator, bringing the harrowing incident to an end. STRELA's final recorded deployment took place on December 17, 2002. An armed group calling themselves the Vanguardists attacked the stock exchange building and threatened to blow it up. The local Noskow STRELA branch, codenamed "AEGIS" had already arrived at the scene and begun securing the area, but additional manpower was required to contain the situation. MNB officials contacted the Nubizkyl authorities and requested assistance from the DAMOCLES detachment, which was considered one of the most experienced and best-trained STRELA units in the country. Although STRELA did not participate directly in the initial assault on the building, DAMOCLES played an important supporting role throughout the operation. Its operatives secured the upper floors, assisted extensively with the evacuation of civilians, and supported MNB forces in maintaining the inner perimeter and controlling access to the building. They also assisted with the subsequent clearance of the building after the initial assault.
• Noskow STRELA “AEGIS” - Ally Their departments worked closely, and were involved in raiding the Noskow Exchange building together.
• MNB - Ally Both Nubizkyl STRELA and the MNB also worked closely during the Noskow Exchange Standoff in 2002.
• Heist Crew - Adversary After months of being evaded, the STRELA finally confronted them on Rodinskaya Street. As the most notorious criminal organization in Nubizkyl during that time, STRELA and law enforcement consider them as a threat to the public.
• Vanguardists - Adversary They view the Vanguardists as a threat to the general public, and thus were tasked to assist the MNB.
• Vadim Korolev — Squad Commander
• Said Rasul — Deputy Commander
• Alan Tuaev — Assault Operator
• Ilya Barkov — Assault Operator
• Artur Tolstoyanovsky — Breaching Operator
• Emil Gasanbek — Breaching Operator
• Petr Efanov — Former Breaching Operator

Info about the IZVEKH 412: Type Revolver

Place of Origin Nussian Federation

Producer IZVEKH

Capacity 6

Cartridge .357 Mugnum

Availabilty Universal

Cost 25000 Noubles

The IZVEKH-412, or “412” for intimates, is a Nussian break-action revolver introduced in the late 1990s by the Izvekh mechanical plant. It offers a 6-round cylinder chambered in .357 Mugnam.

The IZVEKH-412 was originally intended for export to the NETO civilian markets following the end of the Steel Curtain. However, the project fell apart after the loss of export market access and general restrictions on Nussian firearms in the United States of Amerika and several other members of the alliance. Moreover, the concept of a break-action Mugnam revolver did not particularly spark public enthusiasm among Western firearm owners.

Following the failure of the 412’s export project, Izvekh managed to secure an agreement with several Nussian law enforcement agencies to repurpose the revolver. Afterwards, the IZVEKH-412 was issued to Politsiya and STRELA officers as a replacement for the aging Kamatov. Ever since its entry in service, it has been praised by its users as a powerful and reliable sidearm. It is often sold in a bundle with speedloaders to fasten its reload time.

the IZVEKH-412 retains all of its characteristics cited above, including the speedloader. It is important to note that, when the user is reloading, he is forced to eject every round in order to correctly use the device. The revolver offers high stopping power and exceptionally good recoil control, though it is limited by its low six-round capacity.

Info about the ANKM:

The legendary Noobian ANKM assault rifle, which served as the standard infantry rifle of the Noobic Union. Type: Firearm, Assault Rifle Capacity: 30 rounds Rate of fire: 600 rounds/min Cartridge: 7.62×39 mm Noobian The successor to the legendary ANK-47, the ANKM was designed by Mikhail Kanashniy as a lighter, more accurate, and cheaper weapon intended to become the standard of the Union’s military as well as several other Block members through licensing agreements.

the ANKM features excellent damage output, capable of killing an opponent in 2 shots at all ranges, with a reasonable rate of fire of 600 rounds per minute. These strengths are counterbalanced by its cumbersome handling and powerful recoil.

Info about the KAR-15: KAR-15EXM-177 (Kolt Commando)

Type Assault Rifle

Place of Origin Amerika

Producer Kolt

Capacity 30

Cartridge 5.56x45mm

The KAR-15 also known as the Kolt Commando is an assault carbine meant for close combat in jungle or urban environments. During the 60s and 70s, there were many variants meant for special forces usage, most well-known one that was used in both the Third International War and the First Kinopronesian War was the EXM-177, which was designed and produced by Kolt Defense since 1969.

The KAR-15's journey begins with Amerika shipping RR-14 rifles to South Choson during the Second Choson War in 1963. During many of the border skirmishes, many complaints from soldiers who were issued the rifle complained about how unwieldy the rifle was in close engagements, the RR-14 being impossible to uncontrollable in fully automatic, and finally that soldiers could not carry enough ammo to outcompete their enemies armed with ANK47s. Thus, the Amerika began to look for a new service rifle that would bridge the gap between high stopping power and the lightweight constitution of the M1 Karbine.

As a result, the Amerikan military began a nationwide program in 1962, to develop this new service rifle design. The last 3 contenders would be the RR-14, Kensington's Lightweight Combat Rifle, and the KC-15 Rifle, which was advocated by Kolt Defense and Blemington. The KC-15 rifle would be accepted after receiving several modifications ordered by the Amerikan Military's R&D department. After the rifle was modified, the weapon would be renamed to the K16, and put into service in 1965, just before the First Kinopronesian War in 1966. However, numerous complaints about the new rifle were made, primarily directed to its unreliability in the Kinopresian jungles. In 1968, the rifle was revised by Kolt, standardizing it as the K16A1 and fully replacing the RR-14 battle rifle in the same year.

While the main rifle was being improved, a new program had been formed to create variations of the KC-15 design, including carbines and submachine guns, which was greenlit by Amerikan High Command. This new program created several different rifles, with many of them being classed as submachine guns tailored for special forces and crewmen in the jungles of Kinopronesia. Eventually in 1967, the EXM-177, aka the Kolt Commando was introduced in response for the military's desire for a shortened K16 which was greatly appreciated by Amerikan operators. After the First Kinopronesian War's end in 1973, the EXM-177 saw limited usage during the Third International War, where it was issued to special forces, pilots, crewmen, and rarely soldiers.

The KAR-15 now is famous for its appearances in many major films, games and media alike, as well as it's usage by Amerikan special forces at the end of the rifle's service. It leaves a lasting impact on the new carbines that the future has to offer.

Info about the IZVEKH BISEN:

A monster of a SMG. 64 rounds, low recoil, and extremely light. Enough to take down a entire team of foes, and more. Type: Firearm, Submachine Gun Capacity: 64 roundsRate of fire: 750 rounds/min Cartridge: 9x18 Kamatov Conceived for counterterrorism operations and law enforcement in 1993, the IZVEKH-BISEN submachine gun quickly became a favorite of Politsiya units thanks to its jack-of-all-trades profile and substantial 64 rounds helical magazine. Despite its great popularity, the firearm was eventually replaced by the IZVEKH-VITEX after its service in the Third International War, due to consistent issues with the magazine. Nevertheless, it remains in use by armed response units of the FSR and auxiliaries of the Nussian Armed Forces. In addition, several criminal gangs acquired stockpiles of BISENs in abandoned Noobic caches.

Info about the IZVEKH-VITEX:

Fire rate high enough to shred your targets in less than a second, controllable kick and high accuracy, and to boot a silencer to protect your ears? It's a dream come true. Type: Firearm, Submachine Gun Capacity: 30 roundsRate of fire: 750 rounds/min Cartridge: 9x19mm NETO The IZVEKH VITEX is a Nussian submachine gun designed in 1996 to 1998 and produced since 1999 by the Izvekh Arms Plant. It is chambered in 9x19mm NETO.

The VITEX was originally planned to replace the IZVEKH-BISEN in law enforcement agencies and MNB units due to the BISEN’s reliability issues. However, following its trials in the Nussian military, it was only accepted by the Politsiya due to its weak damage output and high horizontal recoil, though these shortcomings were balanced by the firearm’s affordability and great handling. By the year 2000, 45,000 units would be gradually introduced in the Politsiya.

Although the VITEX quickly established itself as the main SMG of the Politsiya, its reputation was soon tarnished by repeated appearances in bank heists, turf wars, armed racketeering, and other illicit activities, often involving arms traffickers like Igor Bogdanov. Indeed, these criminals would frequently bribe Izvekh employees to keep a portion of the produced VITEXs off the books, later selling them on black markets.

the IZVEKH-VITEX is fitted with a suppressor, a 30-round magazine, and a moderately fast rate of fire. Although it suffers from lackluster horizontal recoil and weak damage output, it is effectively used in aggressive styles thanks to its lightweight design, decent moving accuracy, fast aiming time, and quick reload speed.

Info about the AN-J91:

Type: Assault Rifle

Place of Origin Noobic Union

Producer KBOV Defense Weapon Bureau

Capacity 30

Cartridge 9x39mm Noobic

The AN-J91 is a Nussian compact assault rifle chambered in 9x39mm Noobic, developed in 1996 and produced by the KBOV Defense Weapon Bureau ever since.

The firearm was originally conceived as an inexpensive Personal Defence Weapon (PDW) for the Noobic Army’s support personnel, though it did not serve this role for long. The AN-J91 is widely used by counter-terrorist units, law enforcement, and special forces of the Noobic Union and its close allies.

The AN-J91 is often fitted with a suppressor when employed by special operations units. Following the outbreak of the Third International War, The Noobic Union sold around 20,000 models to Jyusho for the nation’s special units, paramilitaries, elite counter-terrorist units, and military police. A majority of these AN-J91s vanished during the post-war Jyushonese chaos, while the rest are still in service with the state’s law enforcement agencies and special forces.

Thanks to its suppressor and powerful subsonic cartridges, the AN-J91 offers excellent stopping power at close range, good recoil control, and effective sound masking. The firearm also benefits from a foldable stock to enhance mobility and handling. However, it is inefficient past 100 meters due to the subsonic nature of its ammunition.

the AN-J91 retains its historical advantages, with the exception of the foldable stock. Due to its great stopping power and rate of fire, it is a force to be reckoned with in close-quarters engagements. the AN-J91 is an effective weapon in spaces over 100 meters. Additionally, thanks to the suppressor, it benefits from reduced recoil and muzzle flash.

Both are Russians/Noobians.
