-BASIC STORY INFO-

Cold War rages on between the Axium Empire and the Republic of Travia.

Energy source by the name of Optimite may change the frontlines
 -> Reckless mercenaries have found a way to inject this source of power directly into their bodies to obtain superhuman strength, seamlessly climb walls and leave a path of destruction in the wake of their fierce battles.

Continent of Astra, 1863 AD. During the war between the Axium Empire and Republic of Trivia, Mankind makes one of the greatest discoveries of its history, Optimite. At the same time, Adam Corp, a supranational mega corporation was founded with its basis in energy industry. Adam Corp rapidly expanded with its enormous capital and became the third power of the world along with the empire and republic. Adam Corp is a group of brutal capitalists who do not hesitate victimize anyone who stands in their way. The bigger they have become, the more devastated the public have become. To stand against the super villain, people of Astra have formed a vigilante group called Guardian Sans Frontier, the GSF.

1970 AD, Today. After the cold war, Adam Corp has completed their armament expansion and began manufacturing combat robots, which was prohibited by the international law. GSF quickly picked up the intel and dispatched their agents to an island in the republic where the core facilities of Adam Corp’s military factories are located.

CHILDREN OF GEORR aka ASSASSINS' BROTHERHOOD aka SAINTS OF GEORR

The members of the Children of Georr, an all-male caste of assassins, are the ultimate hired killers.
They have perfected the art of killing silently in order to exact revenge on the "Vela Curia" sect for eons of religious oppression.

Silent Avengers are a highly motivated and aggressive faction of the Assassins' Brotherhood.
They strike swiftly and silently, disappearing into the darkness after eliminating a mark.
However, they neglect their armor in favor of agility, and are therefore highly vulnerable to any kind of direct attack.

Behind every major assassination by the Brotherhood is an unseen Shadow Dancer stealing away into the darkness.
Shadow Dancers strike in swift silence, leaving little trace of their presence for their victim's corpse.



RISiNG FALCONS

The Optimite conflict has driven the civilized world to the edge of the abyss.
Murder and anarchy are rife in the streets.
Only the Rising Falcons offer a sign of hope for the innocent – a movement of true gunslingers who use machine guns and grenade launchers to offer armed resistance against the superior forces of crime and corruption.

Gunslingers are famed for their hawk-eyed aim and are seasoned markmen at the peak of their craft.
They're not too hot in close range combat, but what they lack in mettle, they more than make up for accuracy.
Beady-eyed and patient, they've got their aims at all evil threatening to corrupt the world.

Striders are often referred to as the cowboys of the early Republic, they are mercenaries for hire that roam from city to city in search of wanted criminals, fine liquor, and a nice place to get rowdy and gamble.
They prefer weapons of the old West over something more contemporary, but can still easily give those who rely on modern firepower a run for their money.

IRON LEGION

The first humans to grow into super-soldiers after receiving injections of Optimite are known as the Iron Legion.
Their military training and steeled bodies have made them into human tanks – on the battlefield, they are named – and feared as – Shield Troopers.

Shield Troopers are masters of shield techniques: they lower their shields to defend against enemy fire while approaching, before wielding them as weapons to deliver powerful strikes at close range.
It'll take more than a little firepower to slow these guys down.
Never underestimate a shield's offensive potential in combat situations.

-CHARACTERS-

IVAN, the Silent Avenger

A highly motivated and aggressive faction of the Assassins' Brotherhood, Silent Avengers subject themselves to a rigorous daily regimen at the harshest training facilities the Brotherhood owns. They strike swiftly and silently, disappearing into the darkness after eliminating a mark.

Rena, the Shadow Dancer

Behind every major assassination by the Brotherhood is an unseen Shadow Dancer stealing away into the darkness. Proficient in the use of dual daggers and twin pistols, Shadow Dancers strike in swift silence, leaving little trace of their presence save for their victim's corpse.

-THE MAPS-

ADAM CORP CRUDE OIL STORAGE

A crude oil storage facility built by Adam Corp a long time ago for shady weapon experiments.
It's brimming with all manner of dangerous substances and is heavily guarded by Adam Corp mercenaries.
Combining radioactive material and Optimite, Adam Corp is working on top-secret weapons of mass destruction.
Both GSF and NAU want to take control over the area – and are engaged in skirmishes as they battle for dominance over the area.

ABANDONED MANSION

The majestic statue of Ryswick the Great remains as the only reminder of the once royal owners of the estate.
After the fall of the Bloodline of Count Renobolf – the last owner of the mansion – criminals took over the abandoned palace and turned it into a hideout.
The GSF and NAU raided the mansion and cleared out the criminals, but are now pitted against other in a battle for control of the mansion itself.

SCHWARTZWELT MARKETPLACE

The market street of this once prosperous merchant city was torn apart during a series of riots.
The proud citizens of Schwartzwelt spent years rebuilding their city – just to be threatened once more by anarchistic groups once more.
Rumor has it that the anarchists are planning a new terrorist attack.
GSF and NAU have both dispatched teams to prevent this from happening again – but now the two rival factions are wreaking havoc themselves by fighting over this scenic city.
They are now embroiled in battle against one another to establish tactical initiative over the area.

OPTIMITE REFINERY

An Optimite refinery plant owned by Adam Corp, that is  constantly supplying their scientists on the oil rig with resources.
Adam Corp is engaged in processing Optimite for illegal purposes at this plant.
This makes the refinery a place of strategic interest to both the GSF and NAU in their constant fight against the Adam Corporation.
Having infiltrated the plant and collected evidence, they must now fight each other to take possession of it.

HIGH TOWN REDEVELOPMENT AREA

Looking for space to expand their factories, Adam Corp ruthlessly took over High Town and kicked out all residents.
Any revolution was nipped in the bud by Adam Corp’s army of mercenaries.
So now the displaced High Town citizens are turning to the GSF and NAU for help as the situation grew increasingly dire.
The two factions eliminated Adam Corp's mercenaries, but just like in Schwartzwelt, both factions are now fighting for supremacy over High Town.

ADAM CORP WAREHOUSE

An old train depot that was turned into a supply depot owned by Adam Corp.
GSF and NAU were dispatched to the facility, having both received intel reporting large amounts of Optimite stored within.
As fate would have it, both sides arrived at the same time and are now engaged in a battle for control

WHARF #5

A wharf owned by Adam Corp. Used as a transfer site for a variety of contrabands, this place is a maze made of cargo boxes.
A variety of contrabands were sold and bought here by criminals until the GSF and NAU cleared them out.
Their operation now complete, the GSF and NAU have turned on one another to win control over the area.

GUSTAV HANGAR

Following Joseph Adam's arrest, a GSF team was dispatched to further investigate the hangar.
During their investigation, a skirmish broke out when they encountered a NAU strike team attempting to take control of the area.

OPTIMITE ENRICHMENT FACILITY

A former Optimite enrichment facility built by Adam Corp on a remote island to advance their development of weapons of mass destruction.
Having defeated the Adam Crop soldiers stationed there, the GSF and NAU now must face off against each other.
One side wants to keep the facility for information and the other side wants to destory it.

HUNTER TRAINING COLOSSEUM

Although first established by the hunter alliance to train new recruits, the Colosseum quickly became the location of choice for the most experienced hunters to hold tournaments.
Now, new recruits train here almost exclusively during the off-season  to avoid having to compete with their superiors.

TUTORIAL

A massive virtual reality training center located under the GSF headquarters. All new GSF recruits hone their battle prowess here.

-CAMPAIGN-

SEASON 1 THE BEAST OF STEEL

For years, this island was unknown to the world at large, inhabited only by monks who had chosen a life of isolation.
But that all changed when the Adam Corp attacked, and without warning drove the monks off the island.
They had discovered veins of Optimite throughout the island, and they were willing to use whatever measures necessary to secure them.
That was a decade ago.
Now, the once historic monastery serves as a stronghold for the Adam forces.
Military facilities dot the island, with more and more wapons being manufactured each day.
Word has it that Adam Corp is developing a devestating secret weapon on this tiny unhabited island.
We can no longer stand idly by while Adam Corp amass an army.
If they're out to take over the world, the GSF is here to stop them.
It's war, no holds barred, and the GSF going to win.
''We are the GSF''

-SPECULATION-
(Things that I speculate and have found in GunZ2's files, and these may change.)

I found these in GunZ2's files. Interesting indeed!

Season 2: Forbidden Technology
Chapter 1: Behind Enemy Lines
Chapter 2: Towards a Higher Calling
Chapter 3: Skyway
Chapter 4: A Bad Omen
Chapter 5: Forbidden Technology
Chapter 6: The Root Of All Evil
Chapter 7: The Greatest of Fears
Chapter 8: Heaven's Fort
Chapter 9: End Of The Flight

There is one file that has some dialogue about the Skyway stage. But it is in korean so I have to use Google Translate.

Ronson: Giselle was kidnapped by Dr. Klein. (지젤 클라인 박사가 납치되었다.)
Elliya: Dr. Adam Tracking group I'll have to steal the helicopter. (애덤군의 헬기를 훔쳐 박사를 추적해야 겠습니다.)
Elliya: Ghost Raven helicopters to seize your deomgun. (고스트 레이븐  에덤군의 헬기를 탈취하세요.)
Elliya: Go to the other side of the building works, the crane can not miss it. (크레인을 작동하면 반대편 건물로 이동 할 수 있을 겁니다.)
Emily: Because of the length of the building in front of debris stuck in yours? (앞에 건물의 잔해물 때문에 길이 막혀있는데요?)
Elliya: There is no way to not look. Gas pipes on the ceiling, where the gas is destroyed Count got out here. (방법이 없어 보이진 않네요. 천장에 가스관에서 가스가 세어 나오고 있어요 그곳을 파괴하세요.)
Ronson: Raven ghost ride the outer wall of the building seems to be able to move upstairs. (고스트 레이븐 건물의 외벽을 타면 위층으로 이동할 수 있을 것 같군.)
Elliya: This gas pipeline explosion earlier this foundation. Middle. (이런 아까의 폭발로 가스관이 터졌군요.. )
Elliya: There's gotta be near the switch. If you press the switch while going to stop the flames (근처에 스위치가 있을 거에요. 그 스위치를 누르면 잠시 동안 불길이 멈출 거에요)
Elliya: Your enemy helicopters .. something strange. (적군의 헬기를 보세요.. 무언가 이상하군요..)
Elliya: Pylon seems to conflict with the helicopter! (헬기가 철탑과 충돌할 것 같습니다!)
Elliya: Avoid the ghost tower collapsed on Raven! (고스트 레이븐 피하세요 철탑이 무너집니다!)
Elliya: Ghost Raven right? (고스트 레이븐 괜찮습니까?)
Elliya: Go beyond the tower rooftop heliport to be crossed. Go across the raven ghost tower. (저쪽 철탑을 건너가면 건물 옥상에 헬기장이 있습니다. 고스트 레이븐 철탑을 건너가세요.)
Ronson: Seized in your heliport. Ghost Raven (헬기장에 탈취하라. 고스트 레이븐)
Elliya: Good job. Ghost Raven! Let's go now to track Dr. (잘했어요. 고스트 레이븐!  이제 박사를 추적하러 갑시다.)

Ok, so I have no idea what order these are supposed to appear in and so on and so on. My first thoughts when seeing this were 'ELLIYA TALKS A LOT'

Skyway is probably a chapter where GSF/NAU tries to steal a helicopter possibly? Also Adam Corp makes me think of the manga 'Needless'
