Sometimes it bugs me that Armstrong and Shepherd get all the credit. But we all wanted to win the Cold War. And we were ready to commit our lives to getting the bio-metal. The military boys had used up all the material that had fallen to earth, and they still needed more. They went looking for a few cowboys to do the job, and in the end they orchestrated the world's biggest coverup. They snuck a whole army into space and not a soul knew a thing. Now it's time. People should know why it was so important that we won the Space Race. People should know what happened to all those who went missing. The dead should get their honors, and should have their place in history. Because history has a way of repeating itself.
In 1952, a meteor shower in the Bering Straits results in the discovery of bio-metal, a wonder material utilized by leading researchers in the United States and the USSR. In July 1958, President Eisenhower creates the National Space Defense Force. Behind closed doors, assassinations and unexplained explosions at research facilities began escalating the Cold War.
This escalated with the launch of the Apollo missions - to no one's knowledge, the Apollo missions also secretly smuggled an entire military organization to the moon, and just out of sight of the famous Apollo lander was American Outpost 3.
The default Battlezone campaign consists of 17 missions played from the perspective of Grizzly 1, a soldier in the American National Space Defense Force. Grizzly 1 is named Jason Bates according to the official strategy guide.
