Picked up a new rpg/wargame when I was at Fandom II a little while ago.

Dear Organization Optimizer,

The Global Development Organization was originally founded in one universe with the aim of protecting the planet Earth against existential threats. Unfortunately the group became convinced that anything that was not subject to GDO oversight was an existential threat to them, and thus the planet.

Any organization which wasn't destroyed was suborned, and GDO became even more powerful. Formerly independent projects, such as the Institute of Intelligence and Information's artificial intelligence software (Technology and Operational Research (Quantum)), or the VEhicle NOMads of the Mechanically Augmented Saharan Khanate were repurposed for GDO's control of the world.

When the Autobot/Decepticon war reached Earth, both sides were taken by surprise when the GDO's Skywatch satellites took out their ships, sending them crashing to the ground. Pursued by the GDO's Terrorism Reaction Force in Mobility Enhancing Cerebral-Harmonized suits, the two sides were forced to put away their differences in an attempt to survive. They fled to the last region on Earth that had managed to escape GDO control, the Sovereign Kalistani Autonomous Region, under the control of General Courtney A. Krieger.
