A WORLD IN DISORDER
The 2020s were mired with proxy wars and financial instability. Because of this saw the rise of Pax Armata, a private military company with origins in Tajikistan. Pax's ascension was in part due to a Coalition of countries forming an adversary to NATO.
As the decade progressed, Pax's influence grew in Northern Africa, the Balkans, and Central Asia. To many, the PMC was stepping into NATO's place in the world, providing better protection and competent leadership. NATO members were becoming skeptical of Secretary General Hawthorne and his approach on their rising - and potential - enemy. It could be the start of a new Cold War, or even worse: open war. The latter had credence when reports came in that Pax Armata was conducting training exercises. Preparations were beginning for a decisive strike...
The country Georgia represented strategic importance to both factions. For NATO, Georgia was a way to keep eyes on Russia. For Pax, it was to be the last domino to fall in the region. In the end, the Georgian government wanted to leave NATO and accept Pax protection. The West accepted Georgia's wishes, but needed to transfer personnel and equipment from the NATO Mukhrovani base.
Delays and uncertainty accompanied the NATO transition of Mukhrovani to Pax. The failure to do so only underscored the incompetency of NATO. The scenario in Georgia threatened to ignite conflict across Europe.
It was only then, on September 17th, 2027, that the West's oldest alliance would meet its fate. A fate that had been written years ago.
In Georgia, the War of 2027 would begin.
GEORGIAN NATO BASE ATTACKED
Read the Key EventAmong the soldiers stationed in Georgia was Tempest, a squad of Marine Raiders, who was tasked with extracting cyberwarfare capabilities. Led by Dylan Murphy, the squad valiantly fought through Pax soldiers as they made their way towards the installation.
ALWAYS FAITHFUL
Deep dive into Tempest's mission to protect NATO amidst the Pax ambush.
An already scheduled NATO summit in Brussels would bring about monumental change to the world. Even with an expected leadership challenge to Hawthorne, no one could imagine what came next.
SECRETARY GENERAL ASSASSINATED
Those opposed to Hawthorne's restraint feel vindicated in the aftermath of his death.
PAX ARMATA'S SURGE
Embolden by their success in Georgia and another member leaving NATO, Pax Armata expands their control in Northern Africa by establishing a partnership with the Egyptian president. The deal, at first, was for Pax to support the army, but then turned into Pax leading the army. The generals and other high ranking officers forfeited their roles, sparking civil unrest in the process.
GIBRALTAR INVADED
In March 2028, Pax launched a full scale invasion of Gibraltar. The strategic position of the British Overseas Territory was of upmost importance – cutting off shipping lanes and controlling the Rock of Gibraltar.
DAGGER 1-3
The U.S. tasks an elite Marine Raider unit called Dagger 1-3 to undergo a set of missions with the goal of foiling Pax's plots.
Under their handler Melissa Mills, Dagger executes vital missions against Pax Armata.
THE ROCK
Gecko and Carter collaborate with the British squad Lancer to dismantle Pax's defenses before the main U.S. assault.
OPERATION GLADIUS
Murphy and Lopez embark on a beach landing in order to rendezvous with the other half of Dagger.
The situation in Cairo has been worsening over recent months; civilians are vehemently against Pax's stranglehold on their country. Fayek Selim is also getting a share of the hate as speculation is he's working with Pax in some way. In reality, Selim was also aiding the CIA track down Pax's next move.
NIGHT RAID
Dagger infiltrates through the night to obtain critical intel from Fayek Selim. It turns out... the operation wouldn't go according to plan.
BROOKLYN BURNING
A Pax cell hiding in plain sight had been formulating an attack on New York for months. Thanks to a deal brokered with Walker-Senex owner Fayek Selim, Pax was able to import all necessary materiel and gear into abandoned subway tunnels.

A GLOBAL RESPONSE
In the wake of the attacks on Brooklyn, U.S. President Richard Fernandez signed the war order on Pax Armata. The remaining members of NATO agreed to activate Article 5 and formed what the president called the NATO Global Response Force. NATO troops supported efforts in Gibraltar, Egypt, Turkmenistan, and Tajikistan, where they aimed to destabilize Pax's foothold in the respective regions.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIAN CHAOS
Terror would return to the streets of America when an explosion blew the lid off of Fort Lyndon and its secrets. Speculation was abound that Pax was behind this, and in order to find some answers the Handler sent in a Quick Response Force to investigate.
FORT LYNDON EXPLOSION
A sunny day in Lyndon Beach was turned upside down when an explosion rocketed to the sky. The question is: was this an accident or an intentional act by Pax Armata?
