Cold War Secret Projects

Cold War Secret Projects

After the WWII the world has experienced the first taste of the Powers and advanced technology. As the tensions between nations grew a long period of militarization on both sides ensured with virtually unlimited funds being poured into R&D. Both sides believed that the new war would be won by something greater then conventional armies. This was the dawn of the Superweapons, militarized Powers and the combination of both.

Zeus Superweapon
[from History & Mesh Databases]

As no nation acknowledged creation of Zeus Superweapon, it's believed that AMALGAM has merged several other Superweapon Projects to create it. Zeus was a series of sattelites, that had ability to permanently destroy any electronic technology in a large area. The firing of Zeus has decimated infrastracture of many nations, with US suffering the worst damage.

The Zeus ignored any standart EMP-shielding or other measures to preserve technology. They only place that was unaffected by three consequtive firings of Zeus was Cape City. The Architect never revealed the exact mechanisms of the defence that managed to protect the city.

There are stories of the Back-Up 01 - an attempt to archive the information on the Mesh and preserve it from Zeus. In a frantic cooperation between governments, independent organizations and Mesh users, an enormous amount of information was collected and archieved using advanced code of Unroot, then an unknown White Hat Hacker. However the Back-Up 01 was then lost in the chaotic aftermath of the attack - or perhaps stolen.

Furies
[from Fury Database]

The Furies project headed by Professor Anton Chudakov was designed to super-charge Powers, enhancing their abilities to the point, where they would have strategic firepower. The project was a mixed success. The process worked in enhancing the Powers, but it appeared to cause irrepairable damage to the human mind. It was never deployed during the WWIII and was stolen shortly after its end. Professor Chudakov was either kidnapped or part of the AMALGAM conspiracy. He was observed at the site of Protogonos attack and is currently searched for by the global intelligence agencies.

List of Furies in order of appearance :

Aether (Space & Light Manipulation)

Nyx (Teleportation)

Eros (Body Shifting)

Protogonos (Bio-Matter Creation)

Ananke (Mind Control)

Thalassa (Water Manipulation)

The remaining two Furies should have (Time Manipulation) and (Information Collection) Powers.

Wither
The bio-plauge unleashed on the world by US in an attempt to starve the Soviet Union. While the original intent was to supply food relief and use it as leverage to broker peace things went wrong when Wither mutated and spread across the world, cause worldwide famine issues, that haven't being fully resolved to this day.

Dulls Plauge
One of the working theories is that Dulls Plauge is an artifical virus and could have been one of the Cold War Projects.
