It's 2030 and the world is on fire. The Middle East has collapsed into complete chaos, civil wars, insurgencies, and terrorist factions vying for power in an endless bloodbath. This isn’t just another war between nations; it’s a region-wide free-for-all, and the whole world is getting dragged into it. NATO forces have stepped in to restore order, but this war is unlike any before bloodier, more chaotic, and far more dangerous. Circling like vultures, Russia, China, and their allies watch, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. NATO knows this has to end fast because if it doesn’t, the entire world will be consumed by war. Through the deafening roar of engines, Sergeant Dean Walker grips his M7 Rifle, the vibrations rattling through the metal frame of the V-280 Valor. Outside, two tilt-rotors cut across the sky, carrying soldiers toward the war-zone. His squad sits around him, a mix of old friends and new blood.  Specialist Josh Allan, his right-hand man, sits across from him calm, steady, the kind of soldier who never panics, no matter how bad it gets. They’ve been through hell together.  Private First Class Eric Fisher, a restless, hyperactive coyote anthro, fidgets in his seat. Dean has known him since childhood his energy is both an asset and a headache.  Private Zoe Chhetri, a fresh-out-of-training red panda anthro, clutches her gear with nervous hands. She’s determined, but Dean hopes the war doesn’t break her before she finds her strength. The war they’re heading into is just the latest in a long, violent history one that changed forever in 1983. That was the year anthros were discovered sentient, animal-like beings who had lived in secrecy for centuries. At first, humanity responded with wonder, then acceptance. By 2000, anthros and humans shared cities, governments, and even armies. For a moment, the future looked bright. Then everything fell apart. In 2014, half the anthro population rebelled, believing humanity would never truly accept them as equals. They weren’t entirely wrong. What followed was a brutal war cities burned, families were shattered, and both sides were left scarred. When it was over the rebel anthros had lost and were exiled to Australia, carving out their own homeland from the ruins. For decades, the tension between humans and anthros simmered beneath the surface until now. With war raging across the Middle East, humanity and the anthro nation have done the unthinkable: they’ve joined forces. The anthros have aligned with NATO, fighting against a shared enemy for the first time in history. But this is no brotherhood just a truce held together by necessity. Old wounds haven’t healed. Resentment still festers. Those who fought for humanity and those who rebelled still glare at each other across the battlefield, their uneasy alliance threatening to snap under the pressure. And with each passing day, the world edges closer to total war. Who will break first the fragile alliance, the patience of Russia and China, or the world itself? One thing is certain: whatever happens next, it will change history forever.
