Story
Set in 2034, the story of Front Mission Alternative takes place on the African continent. In the early 21st century, nations around the world began to form regional entities to combat a global recession and other worldwide crises. While many regions thrived under their newly-formed supranational unions, the nations of Africa fell deeper into environmental, racial, and ethnic conflicts. In an attempt to help them, the European Community (E.C.) and the Oceania Cooperative Union (O.C.U.) assisted the nations of Africa to form a supranational union known as the Organization of African Consolidation (O.A.C.). Although it initially thrived in the first three years, disputes between the five consolidated nations that made up the O.A.C. began to appear. Tensions rose and with diplomatic efforts failing, the nations went to war, leading to the outbreak of the African Conflict.

Let The Clarion tell them.”
