GUNGRIFFON THE EURASIAN CONFLICT
At the start of the 21st century, frequent conflicts and abnormal weather caused a loss of green land and a global food crisis. Amid this turmoil, the U.S. unilaterally ended its security treaties, formed the "American Free Trade Agreement (AFTA)" with the Americas, abandoned its role as the world's police, and adopted isolationism. In response, Europe, Russia, and CIS nations formed the Pan-European Union (PEU), while Japan, after breaking its security treaty with the U.S., joined Asia and Oceania to establish the Asia-Pacific Community (APC), heavily influenced by China. Alongside the Organization of African Unity (OAU), the world became divided into four major blocs.
The APC and PEU, having lost access to the U.S. market, competed for influence in the OAU, one of the few growing regions. Tensions escalated, starting with skirmishes in Libya, backed by the PEU through Britain, and Egypt, supported by the APC via China. These conflicts spiraled into an all-out war. Under pressure from China, Japan revised its constitution, established the Japanese Foreign Legion, and deployed its forces. Despite global devastation, discord within the APC, Siberian independence, and AFTA's silence, war engulfed humanity.
In this new era, land warfare was dominated by AWGS, walking combat vehicles with superior offensive, defensive, and terrain capabilities. However, a new weapon surpassed the AWGS: HIGH-MACS.
HIGH-MACS is a next-generation walking combat vehicle capable of low-altitude flight and short glides, combining the firepower of AWGS with the agility of attack helicopters, enabling versatile, three-dimensional combat.
As a HIGH-MACS pilot in the Japanese Foreign Legion, the player will be deployed to battlefields around the globe.
