Gaiaterra: Elysea's Conflict/The Aion Defense Initiative

The Aion Defense Initiative are one of the twelve factions in The Warzone.

Description
The Aion Defense Intiative, or ADI, has come a long way from it origins. But to truly understand it's state, one has to turn back the clock

In the aftermath of the Voshkod-Aquilan War of 1955-1958 V.C., a protracted conflict with the Aquilans and the Zemurians defeated the Socialist Union of Voshkod, as well as a millitant, the Lustrians, a multinational task force (Special Ops 9) was established by the Zemurians and their allies, whose are also involved in the same war, the Elyos, Miqo'te, Gnomes and the High Elves of Arborea as a covert peacekeeping unit that answered to the Zemurian nations. Although much of the activities (including it's formation) remain classified, it's known that it was active in the 1970s and 1980s V.Cs. and may have played a part in the later part of Aquilan-Lizardmen conflict. By the early 1990s, it was discreetly collaborating with Task Force Eve and various agencies in pursuing the terrorists, millitias, some of which would be tied to an unknown benefactor.

What transpired in 1995 V.C., a mysterious organization calling itself the Brotherhoood of Asmodia revealed to the public. Led by its even more enigmatic yet charismatic leader, a Fodlan man known as Kane, this stateless movement aggressively began expanding it's influence into war-developing nations and empires - from Arankona to even parts of post Voshkod-Aquilan war nations - through a mix of propaganda, subterfuge, terrorist attacks and outright military coups. Realizing the severity of the threat, the governments of Zemuria, Elyos, Gnomes of Gnomeregan, the Miqo'tes and the High Elves of Arborea made a fateful decision. On 7th month of 1995 V.C., in accordance with the Aion Defense Act, what had been Special Ops 9 was greatly expanded, transformed and officially established as ADI. An military peacekeeping force unprecedented for its time, it was tasked with preserving world order of the Aion continent by combating global terrorism and later rivaling nations. This mandate would remain a constent.
