The Guardian Project

Near the beginning of the War on Terror, the President initiated the Guardian Project.  The Guardian Project’s mission was to develop future soldiers to limit the loss of American lives.  After 25 years of research and experimenting, the scientists of the Guardian Project succeeded.  They were able to develop genetic coding that greatly enhanced the physical abilities of the resulting lives.  Guardians have nearly unbreakable bones and impenetrable skin.  When combined with their enhanced muscular system, Guardians have incredible strength.  They also have near-limitless stamina, healing abilities, and an incredible immune system.  Scientists were also able to manipulate the genetic coding to give Guardians different physical characteristics.  The results were 3 different categories of Guardians.  First was the infantry category.  This category was the base for most Guardians created, which were in the infantry category.  The second was the artillery category. If a Guardian was in the artillery category, they were much larger than the infantry Guardians and able to carry larger weapons systems.  The third was the medical and technology category.  These Guardians were a little smaller than the infantry category and were more agile and fast.

 

Chance and nature would not sit by; as a result, Guardians were born of different races and sexes.    

 

The Guardian Wars

In the year 2032, the first Guardians were ordered into a conflict in South America.  Drug traffickers were smuggling terrorists into the United States. The Guardians were sent to Colombia to eliminate the drug traffickers and discover the whereabouts of the terrorists.  The mission was a success, and soon after, Guardians were deployed to all military bases of the United States throughout the world.  A unit was sent to defend some American assets in Ukraine.  There they were fired upon by Russian soldiers.  The Guardians reacted and killed 103 Russian soldiers, and the war began.  Nuclear weapons decimated most of Russia and the eastern coast of the United States.  Guardians were able to survive a nuclear blast and the resulting radiation.  It took a few months for the Guardians to secure Russia and put the Guardians at the front door of China.  China, fearing the United States would control much of the world with superior military might and economic capabilities, attacked, and another war broke out that lasted a few weeks. China, fearing decimation, and the United States, fearing more nuclear war, quickly agreed on a treaty.  Russia would be returned to the people, and a democratic government would be developed.  The United States would be responsible for financing the rebuilding of Russia, while China would supply the United States with technology such as advanced computer processing chips for the next century.

 

During the Guardian Wars, there was no confirmed death of a Guardian, but there was one missing in action in China. Assuming the Guardian was a deserter, the search for him was soon called off.  Part of the treaty, Guardians were not permitted off of United States soil or military bases.  Many were called back to the United States to assist with the rebuilding efforts.

 

2nd Generation Guardians

Soon after the conflict with China, a second generation of Guardians was deployed.  Most of the first generation was forced to assimilate into the general population.  Struggles existed as fear of the Guardians grew, and the job market was small for genetically enhanced killers.
