| The GAO is a paramilitary piracy organization with a mostly decentralized structure. Their primary forces consist of service veterans and some MIs. Through much effort, they've gained allies in other mercenary and pirate groups. They do not stage large attack actions or engage in fleet warfare, but stick to raiding weak points and smash-and-grabs. Sick duck ploys and false flags are fair game as well. In essence, they do what they can to continue existing. But, they are very politically motivated in their actions. The GAO hope to one day become their own national power in the stars, though they are all aware of the sacrifice it might take. The GAO main force is posing as a mercenary/goodwill peacekeeping force while continuing illicit activity on the back end to fuel their goals. | The GAO is a paramilitary piracy organization with a mostly decentralized structure.

| In [[calendar:YE 29]], a younger Decker joined the SAOY. The Freespacer genocide had not happened yet. The Lorath Civil War solidified Breaker's jingoism. The universe at large was still roiling and changing. | In [[calendar/Albion/PA 259]], Decker was subjected to a Noir mob raid on a liner he was traveling on. An [[organisation/united_defence_directive#emergency_assault_division|EAD]] member was there to save him before a fatal shot went his way, so Decker set his sights on joining. |
| |
| During [[calendar:YE 30]], Codemender Fractal Eight Two aided in solidifying the Freespacer efforts to police Halna. They manage to escape the genocide on a small vessel, but notes Yamatai's involvement in aiding the criminal Red interests in the area. Meanwhile, Decker attempts to save a freespacer vessel containing Forgemaster Synthesis Two Seven in the interests of "this isn't right." He nearly dies in the resulting bombardment, and loses all his limbs. Synthesis saves his life. They eventually flee to the newly formed United Outer Colonies. | During [[calendar/Albion/PA 261]], Fractal 82 broke from the Units, becoming its own entity. It proceeds to survive by upping its hacking game. Meanwhile, Decker makes a name for himself in the EAD. Though he has some qualms with the program, he feels that he's making a better place for everybody. |
| |
| In [[calendar:YE 31]], the Second Mishhu War began. Decker enlisted in the Peacekeepers with his mostly-cybernetic body, quickly working his way up to a command position. Fractal eventually on as a Freespacer liason to his ship, managing the cyberwarfare suites. Meanwhile, Gumiho Rumia | In [[calendar/Albion/PA 263]], Decker makes his way up to a commanding EAD rank and befriends Rumia in the process. |
| |
| By [[calendar:ye 33]], the UOC had fallen due to the NMX horde. Decker and his crew did the best they could to evacuate and hold the line, but they were overwhelmed and forced to break away from the carnage. Synthesis was among those he rescued, paying back a life debt. Breaker, on the otherhand, was one of many soldiers at the battle the Xiiah was killed in. Both she and Decker witnessed Yamatai's sudden reclaimation of the territory of the UOC fell, a move neither of which appreciated. Breaker, because she felt the Xiiah's sacrifice for the UOC was in vain, and Decker, because everything he fought for to be in shambles. | By [[calendar/Albion/PA 265]], the EAD was exposed by [[character/Luca Pavone]] and their actions came to light. The agents of it all turned on one another, and Decker nearly died in an attempt to save a civilian vessel caught in the crossfire. Synthesis was aboard that vessel, and evacs Decker before further harm could come to him. Rumia, who was in the middle of her own mission to kill a councilman on Noir, was exposed and caught by the coucilman's own pocket gang. |
| |
| As [[calendar/Albion/267]] rolled around and the NMX war came to an end, Gumiho Rumia was rescued by Nepleslian soldiers (Read: Rescued herself using soldiers as a cover) on a raid on the last few NMX holdings. Rumia, feeling betrayed, didn't go back to Yamatai. Meanwhile, a freshly exiled Breaker runs into Decker conducting one of his first minor raids - on a transport vessel. A scuffle ensued, and through brute strength camaraderie, Breaker joins up with Decker. Rumia came soon after through a similar incursion, though they didn't even know she was on their ship until after the raid was over. Later on in the year, Decker solidified his plans and set his grand scheme in motion (As well as getting a job acting in the TV series, [[media:magical_girl_aeternalis]]). The Galactic Armament Organization would be his banner, and his creed was justice. He contacted many, equally disillusioned ex-Peacekeepers to form the backbone of his force. Along the way, Bolor Topal joined. | As [[calendar/Albion/PA 267]] rolled around the dust from the EAD scandal was finally settling. Gumiho Rumia freed herself using a police bust on the councilman as an easy cover. Feeling betrayed by the whole situation, she turned to the one person she could rely on - Decker, who was recovering with cybernetics. They hatched a plot together to bring vengeance on those that wronged them, through careful planning. Later on in the year, Decker solidified his plans and set his grand scheme in motion (As well as getting a job acting in the TV series, [[media:tv:magical_girl_aeternalis]]). The Galactic Armament Organization would be his banner, and his creed was justice. He contacted many, equally disillusioned veterans from different forces to form the backbone of his organization. Along the way, Bolor Topal joined. |
| | |
| | Over the last two years, Decker made allies through his remaining assets leftover from the EAD days, befriending a few odd mercenary groups that shared his goals. For [[calendar/Albion/PA 270]], he began to expand to the few extra-human and other types of people that he could trust - powerful assets that would ensure victory. In that mindset, he met with [[character/Luca Pavone]]. They disagreed on methodology, but he decided to give Luca's strategy a chance - save the EAD members that could be saved (metaphorically speaking) - and took a back seat on the operation while he managed his own efforts. |

Thematically, their main colours are red and orange with navy accents with a sparrow on their emblem, and they have a preference for ballistic armaments. They don't have much of a fleet presence, instead relying on their employers to use them as shock troops and boarders and foot the bill for room and board.

| * Aexalli Centorius - A highly drilled military team who operate in highly rehearsed battle-plans. While not quite as flexible as other teams, they operate as a single whole and rely a lot on communication and are broken down into four smaller groups; Sampson, Oevaesta, Kantyne and Uuvuourla. Each group has a respective Triarius, a general or commander who reports directly to The Returner but at the same time has great automation and freedom to pursue her objectives as they see them. There is a great preference for bashing equipment: to break down whatever enters their possession. Similarly, standardization tends to go out the window in favour of constant alterations and repurposing, often from very unexpected sources. | * Aexalli Centorius - A highly drilled military team who operate in highly rehearsed battle-plans.
