effected incapability to use traditional weapons of mass destruction. Advanced weapons and equipment flying at very high altitudes (intercontinental ballistic bombs, high-altitude bombers, etc.) are set to be automatically shot down by a group of 24 strategic military satellites called the "Orbiter Eyes," which exist in geostationary satellite orbit, said to be currently uncontrollable. Because of that and high-tech weaponry becoming too expensive and time-consuming to maintain for large-scale combat, a type of powered exoskeleton suit known as
Special Assault Armor (SAA) was developed and deployed on the battlefield to augment the strength of infantry for visual-range land warfare. SAA are single piloted exoskeleton power armors used as an all-in-one packaged ground assault vehicle for both conventional and urban combat. All SAA, aside from their powered and armored exosuits which provide augmented speed, strength and protection, are outfitted with encrypted radio communications, a heads-up display (HUD), a hovercraft-like propulsion jetpack and thruster system for movement on land, along with various defensive and utility-based equipment, and assorted armaments. A fully-equipped, top-of-the-line SAA is said to be roughly equivalent to a modern main battle tank in terms of combat effectiveness. Pilots of these SAA are also colloquially dubbed "cladders."

It was then that Dragnov unveiled its new weapon, a high-yield, low-altitude missile which was detonated indirectly 8 km outside the capital city yet still causing notable damage. This convinced the Legium politicians to negotiate for a surrender, although the Third Army of Legium, later to be known as Legium People's Army, refused to obey and continued the fight.

Coulthard leads a rebellion with several platoons of active-duty Rangers to seize the SAA and other military equipment at the training camp. The rebellion force's intention was to usurp the Legium government and incite the war with Dragnov to bring pride and valor back to the country as they were dismayed by their government's lack of honor and integrity. Coulthard, however, deliberately planned a direct confrontation with Mills first to test his resolve. This ends up with Coulthard forcing his apprentice to kill him after a hard-fought battle. His death completes Mills' transformation into the ultimate killing machine, "Genocide," who proceeds to single-handedly wipe out the heavily armed rebelling force.
