Front Mission

One night, the OCU forces stage a covert recon mission on a facility located in Larcus, a USN-held territory and weapons facility.

Lead by a soldier named Roid, this mission was entirely unofficial and violated the peace treaty.

During the combat, Roid's fiance, Karen is killed and the USN facility is blown up; placing the blame on the OCU.

This became known as the "Larcus Incident" and the OCU denied all knowledge of it's soldiers actions.

Ultimately it would be a leading cause to the second Huffman War.

One year later, the war is underway and Huffman island is under provisional control of the OCU, but with a weakened military unable to defend against USN attacks.

Roid spends his time fighting as a gladiator in the Wanzer fighting arena before being approached by a mysterious man.

Colonel Olson has found out about Roid's history and wants him to command a mercenary unit he is assembling on behalf of the OCU, dubbed "Carrion Crow".

Convincing Roid that Driscoll is still out there on the island, Roid agrees.
